So, I didn’t actually record a video this week, as previously promised. But I have an excuse…
Well, since it appears that Cox Cable/Internet does not recognize my new home as an actual location, I am without Internet temporarily. Even though Cox sent us a flyer advertising their services (not to mention that the people who lived here before were Cox customers), they insist that we do not appear on the grid.
Until they come around, I don’t want to risk recording a video and not finding enough bandwidth to upload it.

By Chris Moore:
Hello and welcome to another all-new edition of “Chris Moore Monday” here at the best acoustic rock cover song blog on the web today! For the first time in almost three months, it is my pleasure to bring you a song that has yet to be released.
“Solitaire” is a track from Wilco’s new album, which will be released tomorrow and is titled Wilco (the album). A few weeks ago, Wilco streamed the entire album on their website for fans to listen to. This is a tradition stretching back to when they streamed Yankee Hotel Foxtrot online after being dropped from their label at the turn of the millennium. This time around, I even broke my general rule of waiting to hear an album until it is released in full. While I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to listen, I also felt like I was breaking a sacred rule, as well as building myself up for disappointment when they stopped streaming it and I had to wait for the album to come out on June 30th.
My solution?
I decided to listen to it only once straight through, and I ended up talking on the phone and doing other work, so I got only a taste of what is to come tomorrow on New Music Tuesday.
From what I heard, I am very much looking forward to hearing the album in full through my car stereo and without distractions. To help prepare and build up anticipation for tomorrow, I found a YouTube recording of the eighth track, “Solitaire,” and I actually found a good set of chords online already to help me learn the song. Go figure: accurate chords online…
Anyway, I’m off to watch a replay of last week’s episode of TNA Impact! with Jim, Mike, and their father. Apparently, their dad was also out of town and missed what has been said to be one of the best Impact!‘s of the year. I’m excited, and thus I’m cutting my post a bit shorter than usual tonight so I don’t miss any.
I’ll be back soon with more writing and posting than usual if I have my way, as I am officially on summer break and beginning to plan out the next two months so that they are relaxing, and yet productive.
Greetings from Pennsylvania, Laptop Sessions fans! On the heels of some sad Thumpin’ Thursday news, I’m here to say a quick hello from my hotel room on the eve of the 2009 Wheel Horse Tractor Show.
Today has essentially been a day of travel, as we made our way from CT to PA, hitting stop and go traffic for both construction and rubber necking, as well as taking a wrong turn, which landed us in Harrisburg in the middle of rush hour traffic.
Aside from the humidity, the weather has been great, and we are hopeful for tomorrow.
I hope you enjoy what has become my set of three posts tonight. Obviously (I hope), the first post was intended as a joke to buy me time as I wrote my real post.
And I promise that I plan to return next week — AFTER the high school graduation and this year’s Wheel Horse tractor show in Arendtsville, Pennsylvania — with an actual music video session!
That being said, I thought I should also inform you that I’ve been voted most likely to be called a D-bag on YouTube. Oh, wait… I already have! And I’m not censoring myself for this site; I really did receive a comment that began by addressing me as “D-bag, …”
That was funny to me, and I hope you appreciate it, too. The funniest part is that I didn’t delete the comment and decided to reply in my typically polite manner with an undertone of sarcasm.
