Ian I am a a fan of Nels and Carla's work with the Geraldine Fibbers. Back to Wilco, it looks like a Washington Post columnist has READ MY MIND. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/postrock/2008/08/wilco_what_they_once_were_isnt.html

I like rock n' roll too, Fred. But we're talking about Wilco here; has that term really ever had much to do with them? I mean, they write pop songs even when they're penning odes to heavy metal. I will give you that Nels' soloing with Wilco is pretty restrained, though. Rather than a five minute solo with them, I far prefer to see him do the type of 45-minute solo noise freakout he treated the old Warehouse to a few years back prior to a Carla Bozulich show. Now that'll put some hair on those yarbles.

Call me a monkey, but I think hirsute pits are hot. God knows it's more natural and attractive than being shaved down there. Yeah, looking like a pre-pube prepubescent. Real friggin hot. Biggest complaint I have about pr0n's impact on the younger people. That, and pyroflatulation videos.

Ian likes 5 minute guitar solos? I like Rock N Roll. Where is Lenn Sakata to give you a lesson on Uncle Tupelo. FREDTERP

That's "Nels", Fred. And he's amazing. If you're looking to blame someone for Wilco being less fun these days, I'd suggest looking past the dude using the toy ray gun to play his guitar and squarely at the guy with the Bob Dylan beard.

Chris you are spot-on about Jay Bennett. That Nils guy is a buffoon. Wilco is no longer a rock band? FREDTERP

"eating" and "hair in food". But, that's what Zircon encrusted tweezers are for.

@erahk0 I tried writing a response, but it kept on coming out wrong... Think along the lines of "eating" and "hair in food". But, i have to say I'm a hypocrite when it comes to bushes as I believe in letting that garden grow.

@blittle So on the restuarant score card it sounds like you'ld give her a 70? Looks a lot higher on my score card.

Seriously - how does one go out with that top on without shaving their pits? It's like wearing a micro-bikini with an immensely overgrown bush!

Good god, i want to shave that girl's armpits. Armpit hair and uncut pockets or vents on jackets/skirts are some of my biggest pet peeves.

Your expectations are undoubtedly high. Keep the humor wry. When Iggy finds you, poor forgotten boy, Search and destroy.
