Cool, I don't have to delete you then

Are you the headmaster of this website? You better have some close mob connections if you think of silencing me.

I'm aware Fen, I'm just kidding. Just trying to keep the heterosexuality alive around all these handsome robots. Besides, just a little on the dorky side.

Jay seems to be very educated, don't know if that's true or not. He's my whatever the people in school read nowadays.

Jay's ma ran a bookstore (sometimes I get the feeling it was really a pharmacy

) didn't go to college or nuthin', self-thought I guess. + you do experience shit on the road, funny how that works.

I heard Jay the first time about when Trace came out, must've been Windfall or/and Tear Stained Eye on the radio... those songs have been in my sub-concious for a long time.. wasn't until I was in first year of college I got into his stuff.

The rest as they say, is (board) history

WHAT?!?! The UT stuff EASILY stands up to anything he's done since then. And who really cares about "hits"?

Jeff.

Incidently, I got turned on to UT by a sweet girl from St Louis and I think I related that story on another thread. I was completely clueless to the politics of the band when she "dragged me" (almost literally) to a UT show at Lounge Ax. After they closed with "Effigy" I was all excited. I said "Man, I wanna see these guys again! Where do they play next?" "Uhhh, that was the last show." It wasn't the last, but close enough. I never got to see that band live again, and that was beyond too bad.

But then Trace came out and I was pretty happy.

Still, I'm with the group waiting for a reun-- oh wait; that's the forbidden word around here, ain't it?

I'll share mine, I remember it so vividly, I was driving down from Flagstaff to Phoenix, was almost home, and tuned in the local station, I can't remember what station it was now, but they played the coolest tunes. This was in about 97 I believe.

They played "Caryatid Easy", and I remember thinking, this is the best song I've ever heard, the progression was awesome and the way the song reprised like 3 times just blew me away. I made a mental note, "remember the name of this band", and since then, have been totally obsessed with all things SV.

And it's kind of weird, then, because I backed into UT, but I remember when I was living in Kansas City that they played at the Hurricane. I had a chance to see them, but didn't go. I used to play in bands in KC, and hung out with the Mongol Beach Party crowd, never realizing until recently that Belzer was briefly in UT. What a strange world, indeed.

Yeah! Whatever happened to the blond hair and breasts Jay had? And he only sang then. Jeff looked so cool in that leather jacket when he played guitar. They coulda been contenders!

I actually saw Wilco first. It was at a free show in Columbia, not too long after the breakup. Jeff was messing with the crowd, starting to play UT songs and then stopping after a couple of bars...
A few weeks after that, a buddy loaned me a bunch of UT stuff, and I went and bought it all, plus all the boots I could get my hands on...
