mark, i think he must be a big fan of yours with that clever play on your name and all. oh well... see ya in the control room...Mark Spencer wrote:I don't even know who you are, or what you are talking about.Spark Mensa wrote:Is this the same bloke who thought it was a quaint notion that there were any differences between the two major parties?

Soon the transformation will be complete and we can all relax in front of the big screen church, await our directions and function/consume as God planned.
As for awaiting instructions, you may be on to something:

Excellent, it's a long train ride.Chris Masterson wrote:John is engineering. Mark and I are also doing some engineering as well...Sticky wrote:Is John engineering?
John does. Had to call in scores two or three times a night during Okemah. Tell him I said "hey, what's up?"Chris Masterson wrote:I don't know. I don't really follow sports ball...Sticky wrote:why does Jay always record during the World Serious?
Hell's Yeah. Guess I need to make a quick call.Chris Masterson wrote:Yes! born on sept 30!!!Sticky wrote:is there a little Brad yet?
Hmmm, guess I'll have to get up there for one of them. Was supposed to see her open for Alejandro at Greune Hall in August but she cancelled last minute. Eleanor is a huge plus. Two beautiful women, two beautiful voices. Can't go wrong with that. Haven't decided if I'm heading home for Xmas or T-Day. Probably here for Xmas.Chris Masterson wrote:I'm not sure. probably around the holidays. Eleanor will be at the cactus 2 nights in october opening for Carrie Rodriguez. I wish I was there. Nice running into you at acl...Sticky wrote:when ya comin' back to town?
The ACL night was pretty fun and funny. Beth finally remembered where she'd met you before, but now I can't remember. Thanks for hanging, that was good times.
back at cha,

Cool -- keep us posted!Chris Masterson wrote:hello all -
mark and i are sitting in the control room after a long productive day. today got off to a great start. we hit the coffee shop and headed straight to the arch alongside 100,000 fine folks from st louis to watch Obama speak.
it was quite inspiring. maybe there's hope for us yet.
we're dangerously close to the halfway point on the record. its sounding great. i'm sure most will really enjoy it. (though i'm sure some will bitch and moan because jay didn't re-record trace).
well i think its about bed time.
g'nite... z z z
peace, love and loud guitars

I'm down with Obama spreadin' that wealth around.
I want one of Jeff Tweedy's guitars.
Bet Jeff'll never miss it!
I'll take one of Jay's while we're at it, although, I'm not sure Jay will fall within the bracket that'll give me somethin'.
If he does, Mr. Obama, I'll take my old Gretsch back.
I know Jeff will qualify.
I hope Barack gets me one of Jeff's old Gibson SGs!
That would ROCK!!!
Jeff'll still have, like...20 of 'em.
As badly as I wanna see this happen, I also wanna watch John McCain build an assload of nuclear reactors right away.
Betcha my 5000 dollar health insurance credit he's readin' the Home Depot "How To" book on that right now.
Sarah too.
I guess this makes me "undecided"...

I've got a good idea for a concept album that may make you guys want to re-record everything you've done already. There will be this character who builds up a wall, but not just any wall, an emotional wall! There will be teachers, people who won't let kids eat pudding and other assorted characters. I haven't thought up a title yet. I'm thinking maybe "The wall". Also, when you play it live something can be built between the band an the audience. Maybe a wall?
Anyway, if you decide to use it I want royalties.

Is this the same bloke who thought it was a quaint notion that there were any differences between the two major parties?
