My ears are bleeding

24gig in my iTunes, and a pair of headphones at work.

Night two - electric boogaloo

So, second night of Pearl Jam came and went. Again, great show. Only 6 repeats from the night before - about 55 different songs between the two nights. Our seats were on the opposite end of the building so we didn't have much to look at other than 1 inch blurs of people running around stage. Highlight of the night for me was "Crown of Throrns." An old Mother Love Bone tune that took me back to my junior year of high school way back in spring of '92.
Funny how music does that to you isn't it?

Oh well .. music for the day was a little different than the last two nights:
The Flaming Lips "Hit to Death in the Machine Head"
Jeff Tweedy "Jan. 6, 2003 - The Vic Theatre"
Bright Eyes "Lifted, or the Story is in the Soil ..."
Belle and Sebastian "Tigermilk"
Widespread Panic "April 7, 2005 - Chicago Theater"

I like Wilco, a lot. I like Jeff Tweedy's writing, a lot. So, Jeff Tweedy solo is super awesome to me. April thinks their music is terribly depressing, so does my friend Steve. I tried to get them to listen to them a little more, but no success so far. I haven't seen Wilco since 2002, my only other time seeing them was as an opener in '97 - and I don't remember much of that except them playing "Box Full of Letters."
I've had to skip their shows a lot lately - mainly because of time constraints, or the fact that their shows sell out in minutes anymore, and my morals about not paying scalper prices for anything.
