doves / mercury rev show?

[walkonby]

it's not that i don't like wilco.  that dar show was the only time i've heard them or seen them play.  i wasn't impressed, and i have this horrible time of giving bands a "one chance experience," before i cast them to the gutter.  i know i shouldn't do that.  help me obi-one, you're my only hope.  i never would of fell in love with everything lou barlow touches, if i wouldn't have given him another chance after first listening to folk implosion.
 
 so tell me . . . what wilco album, or live whatever should i try to find and listen to, to perhaps sway me toward this thing called wilco.
 
 and with the pixies, i just don't understand.  i down right worship on hands and knees, the breeders and of cource, the amps, and i even like frankie black, but something about the pixies turns me cold.  weird.

For Wilco, try their Being There album.
 
 Pixies had one great album called Doolittle, and another decent one called Surfer Rosa (which had a fantastic cover photo), but the rest of their stuff, save a song here or there, was crap.

Yes, on the Doolittle tour. Before their inevitable decline.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is still my favorite...as for the Pixies I'd go for the greatist hits...

inevitable because you saw them?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Inevitable because they reached their creative peak with Doolittle, and there was no way they were ever going to top it. They were just bound to get fat, bald, and bitchy with one another.

oh god, i think i started another pixies debacle.
 
 tanks for the wilco info.  now if someone can tell me where the best place to park for dar is, besides that "always full" parking deck, i'd be set.  i hate trying to scour for a place to park for a show there, than any other dc locale.  i'd rather try to park for a mci show.  i know someone mentioned it on here before, where the best place is in some thread, a while back, but i can't find it.  maybe some clues?  you can be sneaky if there's no need to just come right out and say it.

[sonickteam2]

you have to take a right i think

the parking situation is the least sh*tty thing about dar. it's by far the crappiest live venue i've ever been to. as for the wilco/sonic youth show there, it was the worst wilco performance i've seen to date (i've seen them 10+ times in lots of different venues and have never been disappointed)
