Glen Healey (from Hockey night in Canada) keeps mentioning this too (the whole "a bunch of extra games theory")...I don't buy it! they're pro athletes and are amongst the fittest people in pro sports. I think it's just because the other teams in the west are now better than they are. simple as that.

for me, it works as long as they DON'T release any new material (since a lot of bands who tend to get back together after a long hiatus tend to put out really bad albums)...Therefore I would have to say: pavement thrush hermit!!! (best canadian band from the 1990s) the pixies

what is UKK?

try to make it to La Banquise. Don't worry. They're open 24hrs so you can go after the show. Just type la banquise Montreal into google maps to find it. It's not far from downtown.

wouldn't be surprised. But watch out for the immitation poutines out there. ie. poutine with shredded cheese instead of cheese curds. For real poutine stick to the patateries of Quebec. Once you start heading west from Ottawa it starts to go down hill. In Montreal check out La Banquise. In the Ottawa area you gotta go across the river to Hull (Quebec) and either hit up Patate D'Oré or Pataterie Hulloise...or in Ottawa, Elgin Street Diner is ok and it's within walking distance from the NAC (where wilco is playing Monday).

shout out louds rogue wave ted leo + pharmacists frightened rabbit broken bells nada surf covers album black francis beachwood sparks tokyo police club acorn jim bryson ambulance ltd. wrens? cake robert pollard/boston spaceships wolf parade? white stripes cdn. tour live cd/dvd pavement matador vinyl reissues this spring(and terror twilight deluxe version in the fall) and the rest that were already mentioned. especially teenage fanclub, interpol, fleet foxes, spoon, new pornos, lcd soundsystem and broken social scene.

Jim Bryson is one of the most underrated artists in Canada. This should help him break into the "mainstream".

I hope it's in Southam Hall (the main theatre). It holds somewhere between 2000 and 2500 people and the sounds is excellent. It reminds me of Massey Hall but newer. I believe the NAC was built in 1969. They don't have concerts here as much as I would like. I hear you have to book the room months in advance.

new Grand Archives album coming out Sept. 15

I read somewhere that it's an alternate/early version of Impossible Germany.

I didn't bother reading all of the replies so I apologize if this was already mentioned...wilco make their living from touring (which I'm assuming also includes merch sales). Jeff Tweedy even said so in a recent interview that I read or saw. I'm sure they would like it if they sold more records so they didn't have to tour so much but that's the way it is for a band like wilco....besides, they'll sell a lot more records then the average band so I'm sure they're not losing any sleep over lost record sales because of leaks and streaming...as for the comparison of eminem to wilco, I like to think

I agree with cryptique...besides, don't hipsters judge albums by the cover???

son volt takes their music way too seriously.

according to insound.com all three are 2xlp. and they come with bonus cd.

ok. thanks! hopefully I don't forget. Vancouver is one of nicest large cities I've ever visited.

I know it's not wilco's fault or music today's fault...the dvd was late because of being held up at the border by customs. It's just that I was really hoping to get a copy of the Washington show. I would appreciate help. That would be great!

so, I guess those who pre-ordered the dvd through music today are screwed out of the 9:30 show if the dvd arrived after the April 28th deadline? or is there still a way of downloading the show?

you can pre-order A.M., Being There and Summerteeth on 180 gram vinyl at insound.com now.

yeah, it was released in Canada yesterday. None of the record stores in Ottawa who took part in the record store day activities had early copies and I knew that they wouldn't. That's why I ordered it through wilcoworld a week or 2 before...thinking I would atleast get my copy before the official release date. I'm hoping that by starting this thread, that my copy will show up in the mail today (undertaker's rule of thumb). on a side note. Has anyone heard any rumours about some Canadian dates? I was really expecting them to be part of bluesfest again this year in Ottawa (they're gonna be cl

has anyone in Canada received their shipment of the DVD yet (from the wilcoworld pre-order)??? Just wondering.

I'll suggest 'mignulikz'

mignulikz should be the name of the new album

I would try Rotate This (Queen Street W.), Soundscapes (College Street), or Criminal Records (Queen Street W.). Something tells me that Rotate This would have it.
