  1. Roxifari99 & Hixter - THANK YOU.
  2. I was going to host and post this today, but as fate would have it, a Blog I RSS (The Good, The Bad, and the Unknown) just posted the "11 Best Wilco B-Sides & Bonus Tracks" yesterday. Number 7 on the list is the very studio version of Cars Can't Escape that you are seeking. I downloaded it just to see if it was any different than the one I got from the official website some years back, and it appears to be the same (same 160kbs bit rate, same track length, sonically sounds the same to me, etc.) http://goodbadunknown.blogspot.com/2009/07/11-best-wilco-b-sides-bonus-tracks.html I will
  3. OH! I hadn't realized anything was wrong with Nels...being as far away as I was. Is this the same problems he talks about in the Ashes DVD, or something new?
  4. Great show! I really enjoyed it after I came to terms with the fact that I participated in the presale and didn't even make it onto the floor/orchestra. My wife and I were in the "Loge", which apparently is a euphemism for "lower balcony." It's quite the difference from being 4th row last time at Aronoff, and 4th row at Taft before that. Anyway, I have some random impressions: The mix on the new songs was not as good as the mix on the classics I have only streamed the album once on tiny computer speakers with the sound down low a work, so I'm not familiar with the new songs. But the
  5. My italics for emphasis...upon reflection, I believe will remove them. Sorry for the confusion.
  6. Hope this hasn't been posted...I did use the search function and toiled about the forum a bit, and didn't see anything. http://cincinnati.metromix.com/music/article/jeff-tweedy-the-interview/1238829/content Wilco is arguably the most popular high-credibility band in America—or the most high-cred band that’s actually popular. From their formation out of the ashes of alt-country godfathers Uncle Tupelo in the mid-‘90s to their explosion with the two-CD “Being There” album in 1996 to their personal and professional chaos of “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot”—finally released in 2002 and considered by m
  7. This is CRAP. Last two times in Cincy via Pre-sale I got 1st and second row. Today I was right in at 10 - 9:58 by my computer actually - and ended up in the Loge, row D (A co-worker of mine got Loge Row B.) That is not even on the floor. What the hell is going to be available to the public? Sidewalk seats? I liked when Wicloworld.net handled the pre-sale better. Frontgate can suck it.
  8. Very True. I felt bad after posting my last, as I started thinking of all the great stuff this band has done for it's fans. I am grateful for all of it.
  9. I think it's more wiggity whack myself...
  10. Muzzle of Bees - from Burn to Shine DVD, 2002. http://fuelfriendsblog.com/listenup/Burn%2...ne%20versio.mp3 What Burn to Shine is all about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burn_to_Shine_%28DVD_series%29
  11. Assuming the band won't play any oldies AND wouldn't consider playing "The Thanks I Get", I'm pulling for "Walken" and "Hate it Here." For what ever reason, I find the speculation of what they'll play to be intriguing. It's as if we all realize this is a national stage where the band can reach a lot of people - what 2 songs off of SBS would make the best impression? On another note, I know their songs got exposure in the VW ads, but I really believe that a lot of people don't know who's playing those songs in the commercials. For instance, a colleague at work came up to me telling me abou
  12. Each of the 4th night's mp3s are about 90kb (VBR) a piece. Now I hate to bitch about free stuff and all...so I guess I won't. I'm sure it took a lot of time to convert these and tag them, so a BIG thanks to Cars Can't Escape!
  13. No doubt, Nels has made his presence felt in this band. After the long-awe inspiring guitar outro to Impossible Germany, I saw one dude give Nels metal (was that you?) and I laughed and thought to myself "Wow! I don't know that anyone would have given anyone in Wilco metal like 5 years ago...but there it is, and damned if it ain't appropriate!" Glenn was freaking awesome last night too, and seemed to really be enjoying himself.
  14. Just got back from the Cincinnati show. It was fantastic, as expected. I don't have a setlist, and I have to get up early, so here are a few thoughts on the show: Tweedy looks good! Looks like he's lost quite a bit of weight actually. The band is absolutely on fire right now. Tweedy did a little "mini-Nels" during his "I'm the man who loves you" guitar solo. It's hard to explain, but when Nels gets his strumming hand going like a million miles per hour? Tweedy did that during "Im the man...". It was cute. Shall we call him mini-Nels? lol. In a sheer Spinal Tap moment, they lower this
