First, thanks to everyone who read, tweeted, commented, e-mailed, texted, IM-ed, etc. after yesterday’s post. I’m quite flattered that so many of you passed it on and I’m grateful for all the words of encouragement/empathy/elation passed in my direction. It’s funny how a post that I started writing in my head in the car and furiously typed out when I returned home could resonate with so many.
Also, thanks to all the people coming over via paulwesterberg.net. I guess calling the new track “missing” was not the best description for it, and I’m glad that the readers and commenters there have it straightened out, because unlike the first release (which was evidently pulled for copyright issues, as Westerberg covers some songs near the end of the 44-ish minutes on 49:00) the “5:05″ was barely mentioned anywhere.
Anyway, the reason for this post is to say that I’m in the long process of uploading my Lollapalooza videos and pictures. I say long because each of the YouTube videos I’m posting take about 4 hours of upload/encoding time, so I’m setting them to upload, leaving to do other things, and returning later to a (hopefully, barring a network malfunction) complete upload. I already posted my “Fake Plastic Trees” / Fireworks clip at Make Me Fries, but I’ll share my recently uploaded video of The National’s “Fake Empire” at Lollapalooza.
There’s more to come, but this might be (behind the Radiohead video) my favorite clip. Enjoy!

Hi, it’s Jodi from paulwesterberg.net. If it makes you feel any better, I called the 5:05 track missing too! It seemed like an apt description to me. But I do like the idea that it’s not so much the missing, as a response to what happened to 49:00.
