  1. I believe tongue-tied's point is, a fadeout ending is a good place to end a side of a record.

     

    Yes. I think linclink is right, but I'm holding onto hope that my trivial preference for Taste The Ceiling to start side B will come true.

     

    At least there's no chance for my pet peeve of a double record of

  2. RS: Are you even a Star Wars fan?

     

    Tweedy: No!

     

     

     

    I could have dealt with an "it's never been my thing". Or even a "no, not really". But a firm "No"?

     

    With an exclamation point after it?!

     

     

     

    Sigh.  :no

     

    But was Jaws ever his scene?

  3. I think the similarity actually hurts King of You. It sounds like more of an extension then it's own song.

     

    Oh come on, one is like "doo, ba doo, ba doo, ba doo, ba doo, ba doo, ba doo, ba da dum" and the other is like "bah! bah! ba da ba-da da!"

     

    :badger

  4.  

    Cold Slope / King of You is a great little 1-2 pair at the back end of the record.

     

     

     

    "little"? I think it's the best track pairing on a Wilco album.  :thumbup

  5. To add very little substance to this discussion: $45 is what I want to pay for a Wilco show, $65 is what I would pay for a Wilco show, $85 would need an amazing opener or special event. It's a weird psychology pricing these things, as tangible things add up to $85 pretty quick, or monthly cable bills...

  6. I think it's remarkable that after so many years in so many projects, Tweedy can knock out 20 songs of this quality. This album really has a spirit to it. The past couple Wilco records sounded great, but I felt they were lacking character. Now there is no excuse for the next one.

  7. all the summerteeth demos are amazing.. she 's a jar is also superior. I think.. via Chicago while not bombastic also kills me. 

     

     

    Agreed, it's great to hear a less dense mix. Also, "ELT" sounds like "Camera".

  8. Nobody has added their imaginary-should-have-beens yet, so I'll give it a try. I listened to the vinyl set today, which I enjoyed, but some sides stray into slog territory. It's also a bit lopsided where after three LPs the fourth is still covering AGIB stuff, 2003 to 2011! So I've been tinkering with an imaginary vinyl playlist that's a more even and listenable 3 LPs. I took out all of the covers (with one exception), focused on non-album tracks (except the ones I didn't like) and padded it out with Whole Love extras.
