  1. Ha, no rush man. I didn't mean to put you on the spot, I was just joking around. Your tabs are always great and appreciated though! Thank you!
  2. Has anyone put together some chords/tabs for the new Tweedy album? @chisoxjtrain, I'm looking in your direction! I'd love to take strum at "Natural Disaster," "Gwendolyn" and "A Robin or a Wren," among others. "Guess Again" is up at ultimate-guitar.com, but it's cooler to have the tabs at VC!
  3. For me, it's one of the top albums of the year so far. A lot of great tracks.
  4. I played this today based on your tip. You're right, Nels is terrific on the album!
  5. Wow, he finally played "I'll Never Know"! I've been hoping to hear that song forever. I will have to check it out when it makes its way to YouTube.
  6. Thanks Freedy and u2roolz for the track analysis. Really interesting to see what did and didn't make it, based on what Jeff has been playing on the Tweedy Show. One random thing that struck me today: I really liked the song "Cold Water Falling," which Jeff described as a work in progress on the show, and was a little disappointed it didn't make it on the album. But I happened to listen to Tweedy's "Showbiz Kids" soundtrack on Spotify today, and one of the songs/fragments on there sounds a lot like the music to "Cold Water Falling." It's track 7, called "Burbank, California." Anyone else pick u
  7. Honestly, I wouldn't be as jazzed for a Wilco album recorded separately with them never being together. I'm sure they could do it, and it would probably sound good. But I'd rather they just wait and record together for a better energy, inspiration and direction. The quarantine makes no difference at all for a Tweedy record though.
  8. It looks like Wilcoworld is hinting at something with their tweet this morning: My guess/hope is a Tweedy solo album announcement.
  9. That sounds promising! Thanks as always for the recaps.
  10. Ha, I thought the same thing. I was surprised to see his name in the opening credits, and it made me listen intently throughout. Most of the time, I was wishing the interviewees would just shut up so I could hear the music! But yeah, I wondered if I could have guessed, or at least become curious, because the guitar was noticeably Tweedy-ish. The giveaway would have been when he played a few seconds of "Quiet Amplifier" about two-thirds of the way through.
  11. I was listening to the deluxe reissue of Being There yesterday, and it occurred to me that any of the bonus songs included on there, none of which have ever been played live to my knowledge, would be cool to hear: Late Blooming Son Dynamite My Soul Losing Interest Sun's a Star Better When I'm Gone Any of those would be interesting, but my vote would be for "Losing Interest" or "Sun's a Star."
  12. How crazy is that?! And of course it sounded amazing. Plus he segued into "In a Future Age" and a bit of "Pot Kettle Black," possibly my two favorite solo acoustic songs. Must be something about that tuning! I continue to be knocked out by the subtleties and nuances he performs on all these songs.
  13. Put me down for that one too. Along with: Chinese Apple I'll Never Know Leave Me Like You Found Me
  14. Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for posting all these recaps. I don't get to watch a lot of these, but it is great just to read about it even when I can't tune in. Much appreciated!
  15. I wonder what happened to this. I had been waiting all season for a Tweedy appearance on Curb, but the after last Sunday's finale, the season is over with zero Tweedy (there were a lot of other celeb cameos though). Maybe he filmed something that got cut? Maybe plans fell through? Oh well, it was a pretty good season in any case!
  16. On the one hand, I can imagine Wilco coming out with another album this year. On the other hand, Jeff has pretty much put out one album per year since 2014...
  17. As cool as it would be to get another Wilco album this year, I hadn't considered it remotely possible. Please tell me you know something I don't!
  18. Holy cow, those are some amazing setlists! I wish we got a bit more of this variety in Chicago last month, but still happy for everyone getting to enjoy this down in Mexico! Can't wait to hear what Night 3 has in store. Thanks for the reports!
  19. Been meaning to post my list. I thought 2019 was a very good year for new music! Purple Mountains - Purple Mountains Bruce Springsteen - Western Stars Mac DeMarco - Here Comes the Cowboy William Tyler - Goes West Sturgill Simpson - Sound & Fury Sharon Van Etten - Remind Me Tomorrow Jeff Tweedy - Warmer Kevin Morby - Oh My God Wilco - Ode to Joy Rodrigo y Gabriela - Metavolution Local Natives - Violet Street Josh Ritter - Fever Breaks Twin Peaks - Lookout Low White Denim - Side Effects Son Volt - Union Cate Le Bon - Reward The Who - Who
  20. Another fantastic show to end the run! Yes, more setlist variety would have been welcome, but getting "Monday" and "Spiders" was pretty special. I was the closest I've ever been for a Wilco show and wow, from up close you can really marvel at what Glenn does behind the kit. He is he hardest working man in the world back there. The complexity and subtlety he adds to every song is stunning. With some egging on -- that Glenn seemed to initiate himself! -- he stood on his chair to start ITMWLY, which is always fun. "Bull Black Nova" was just sublime again, though I wish I caught "Laminated Cat"
  21. It really does depend where you are in the theater, and who is around you. We had great seats last night, and I thought the show was amazing. But I just cannot understand the people who insist on holding their phone up to take selfies (and then look at them), record the band or send text messages constantly. You are 15 feet away from Wilco in the flesh giving a face-melting performance! Be in the moment! Personally, I don't think you should even be allowed to use your phone if you're in the first few rows. (Probably not popular or enforceable, I know.) Jeff and co. feed off of the energy up
  22. That is interesting. Glad everything worked out, but I wonder if there's any other info on this.
