Liking Nirvana means you don't like music? Generally there's a reason behind every cliche... Some that come to mind (just ones that haven't been mentioned): Antony & The Johnsons- Hope There's Someone Beck- Sexx Laws Belle & Sebastian- Stars of Track & Field Blur- Boys & Girls Bob Dylan- Lovesick The Cure- In Between Days Bonnie Prince Billy- A Minor Place Elliott Smith- Speed Trials The Flaming Lips- Race for the Prize Jeff Buckley- Mojo Pin Joanna Newsom- Ys M.I.A.- Bamboo Banga The National- Fake Empire Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds- Into My Arms Nirvana- About a Girl

I've been wanting any kind of Wilco boxed set for a long time; a live one like that would kick ass.

If they wore the nudie suits, they might get kicked off the lawn. lol. No, in all seriousness, it'd be totally cool...imagine a DVD "Wilco: Live at the White House"

I dunno..2009 is an album release year...Residencies are the type of thing they do on off years, you know? They're going to need to be out and about touring and supporting Wilco VII.

Here's the problem with Billy Bragg saying this... You don't record with Wilco, Wilco records with you. The come into your house in the middle of the night, dressed in ski masks and abduct you, take you to the loft and record with you. Then they bonk you on the head and you wakeup back in your bed with your shoes tied together and your box of donuts missing. That's rock n' roll.

I must've missed the memo...a long with all that blow in Amsterdam.

Didn't know if this went here, but I've been writing songs since I was 12 years old. I've suddenly lost all interest in my songs, and can't stand them, and haven't been able to write for a good 8 months now, and it's really dragging down my self-esteem a bit. Does anyone have any advice/ what they do when they can't write? Should I maybe just stop playing music?

Except for the Jonas Brothers of course...

I've been actually considering putting info together on little things like this...music videos, singles, unreleased tracks into a web page...just don't have the web skills.

I'm not wrong; it's my opinion based on what we know about the sessions. You've done nothing to refute me, just saying "You're wrong." I'm sorry your debating skills never grew after Kindergarden, maybe you want to show me some examples of Billy Bragg taking the royalties he hoarded from the MA albums (which Wilco didn't recieve a red cent for according to interviews), and giving them away to the poor in a robin hood suit? Maybe you want to tell me that the scheduling a tour behind a band's back who's previous release had outsold anything Billy had done by 150k copies? Maybe you want to t

Thank you sir.

Seems pretty authentic to me, given how much unused footage from the film is in it...has anyone else seen this? Maybe Sam just threw this together? It's also worth noting the poster is of hispanic origin. Perhaps this video wasn't aired domestically?

Meh...it's obvious Jeff doesn't want anything to do with a MA 3,4,5, and 17. Billy would do it all in a heart beat. And don't give me that crap about him being socialist...Almost all of his moves as it relates to working with Wilco reek of shameless self-promotion and an attempt to cash in on a buck with an artist who is significantly more successful than he. For the record I like Bragg's music a lot, but Jeff is right; Billy Bragg is full of shit. He spreads rumors and tall tales about stuff like tours, extra tracks, etc to drum up interest in himself due to his Wilco connection.

I was in the car a lot the past two days... (Yes I can actually hear the difference on the Gold Discs.)

True, Sam Cooke love is ALWAYS good. The Wrens is heh...meh...kind of generic power pop to my ears; some people on the site really love it though. I was also not surprised by the exclusion of classics like Sign o The Times, Hunky Dory, Nevermind, Funhouse, and basically anything that didn't hit sort of VC protocol.

Not that Wilco does it for the money, but it couldn't have helped that they supposedly never saw a single royalties check from a project that among it's 2 volumes sold over 500,000 copies in the U.S. alone. Granted as Wilco says, they make most of their money off touring anyway, so I doubt any of the members made a stink.

Billy Bragg is just looking for a new Wilco co-release to knock him into a new tax bracket. It's kind of pathetic really.

I'd be sad if we lived in a world that I could only find 29 records I like better than Let it Be.

I'm sorry...nothing is topping this post.

For better or worse absolutely no surprises on the list... I of course disagree with a lot of it (Let it Be higher than Astral Weeks is fucking ridiculous) but whatever. This is the VC, I know what music tastes tend towards, and tend against, and really not a single album on there surprises me.

"Lover's Day" by TV on the Radio "There She Goes My Beautiful World" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds I Believe" by R.E.M.

That song keeps me from ever completing a Wilco mix cd...I can't leave it off because it's so good...but then...It makes the whole thing feel awkward without the transition to Reservations, which just feels like too much foxtrot. I try to keep my mixes very even. I guess I could always go Poor Places > Spiders with the studio versions :-)

I got this and it makes me want to give Oh, Mercy another shot.

It's funny, cause Heroes fans are also bitching that Heroes season 3 sucks. Did Heroes ruin Wilco, or did Wilco ruin Heroes? P.S. is every Wilco song about relationships these days!?

I don't have kids either; I just think it's a beautifully structured song. I don't see how it's any cornier than a number of early Wilco lyrics.
