Thanks so much for posting this stuff. I have the Western Hamlet 12" and the Jett Rink 7", but haven't listened to them in years.

This saves me the effort of ripping them, and provides me with a few bonus tracks as well! Not to mention the fact that your versions are heck of a lot clearer than ripping from vinyl.

Boy, listening to "Second Watchung" just takes me back to what seems like another life. Thanks so much, again!!!

Hey,
I was just searching for Movere Workshop on Last FM but the band is not on there so I searched the web instead for some more info. You should add a page to Last FM for your band, or maybe I could do that for you?

I loved the Western Hamlets LP, did you formally release the other tracks you have on here?

Regards,
Neil (UK)

I’ve seen this before and it never gets old. Personally I like Quiet Reverie the best.

Very very strange… I wonder if these children also grow up with an innate fear of heights?

Comment on Three headed dog – Not for toddlers by CHVchick

Actually, speaking as the owner of a toddler, a three-headed dog is absolutely for toddlers. It slows them down. A little.
Hard to get in the US though — the three-headed dog, that is. Not the toddler.

So you can find out where they get the great mask? Or so you can borrow the baby for your own one of a kind photo :)
I’m enjoying your photos. Keep it up!

Sir Mike Jorgensen,

I'm lacing up my LOLLERSKATES as I leave you this comment. Thanks for the updates and the laffs! I hope Reynold finds his way home. It'd be a heartwarming tale like Babe, Pig in the City or maybe even Turner and Hooch (after the dog gets shot, but before tom hanks' career takes off).

Keep reaching for the stars.

Sincerely,
Bill S. Preston, ESQ.

That is too damn funny! Even the gov’t has to get a chuckle out of that one… OK, maybe not, but they should!

Hopefully an LA area Wilco show is lip-smackingly near! ;)

Hey Mikael

I came across your blog while searching for Rocksichords on google…Im not sure where in your page you mention Rocksichords, but they are one of the coolest keyboards around. Im a vintage keyboard/organ collector also in Brooklyn. Do you own the Rocksichord you mentioned?

Mikael:
It doesn’t appear that you check this all that often, but if so, I have a Nord question. In an earlier post, you resolved that the Electro 2 was not satisfactory. I noticed it looked like you were playing a Stage 88 in the Sky Blue Sky DVD. Have you found that to be more satisfactory? Thanks, jacob

Hi, my name is Auria and I’m writing from Spain. I don’t know how I got here, but I find it very nice and funny, especially your posts about Zaragoza (and its chicken) and Barcelona. I’ve been to the show in Barcelona (so long ago!), and it was actually amazing. I have seen you a week ago there too, and this was also great. As I got to your blog, I have been trying to listen to the music you’ve posted, but for some reason it doesn’t work in my computer. I will try again later, but I just wanted to say hello. I’ll keep reading this!

M -

Thanks for posting about your recording. Glad The Monster made it!

Your blogging is a terrific read.

>> Simple, efficient, loud, and fun <<

now that's enough motivation for me to get up, grab a gtr and play some tunes.

I've been stuck in non-writing, non-recording mode - burdened with other current obligations. Wish I could make the show - tough commute to the Hideout from DC on a Weds.

Good luck and have a blast!

this is jen again...i might be fairly intellegent and organized most of the time, but i can't seem to remember my dang password. sorry.

just wanted to say thanks for keeping us updated and amen on the obsession with pbs. npr is quite addictive too. i think i am addicted to the fact that, as i watch or listen, i am getting smarter.

i, too, am a fan of the channel101 website. i'll have to check that one out and get back with you!

keep the suggestions on music coming! they are mostly outside of my typical listening spectrum, so i appreciate the education.

oh, and if you can swing it, try to work out another weekend show at the hideout. teachers can't make those weeknight ones, especially when you lose an hour coming home!

thanks for the insights on your creative labor of love and for making it to the bottom of this post.

more later,
(the blogger formerly known as)jen

To answer your questions:

1. Yes, the stuff we will play at the Hideout will be music from the forthcoming LP. "Electric Monster" is one of them.

2. We're not called Jorgenstorm. Still working on a good name. Until then it'll be under my name.

3. Coffee bean storage: Can't really go into this right now.

Will you be playing your new material when you play at the Hideout on the 22nd? Does that include the stuff on Myspace?!? Are you officially called Jorgenstorm? And what is your deal with coffee bean storage?

lookin’ forward to it! so, what’s the details? i need goodies for the fan club newsletter. is anyone playing besides you and greg? who’s engineering? is this being recorded at the wilco loft? do we know when it’s coming out? on what label? y’know, that sort of thing.

Comment on Eight days to go… by Mikael

Jen,

Thanks and not to worry. I did take your advice and recommended a favorite of mine that is well off the beaten path / below the radar etc.

Congratulations as well on being the first to post a comment here.

keep us posted on your progress in the studio!

oh, and i enjoyed your comments about the stones. if i could make a suggestion, how about recommending some new music for us, the people who enjoy your music, to check out?

hope your walk was nice.
jen

oh, and sorry about the last time i saw you at the hideout. you probably don't remember, but it was on the night you did your solo set. i kicked you in the shin accidently, while perched precariously on a stool. my apologies for my runaway foot.
