Just found a copy of the RSD releases on Bullmoose.... I think they have more, FYI. Very excited to see/hear all of this!

Check out the Nonesuch page - better price, and still have the black vinyl: https://store.nonesuch.com/artists/wilco.html

Email came from wilcoworld, but no password. I would love a PM too - if anyone gets one. Also, the times given do not specify a time zone. Anyone know what timezone the presale times are? Thanks all... Uhhh - edit...via wilco website - times are based on the timezone where the show takes place...I am not too bright.

Well, I have to say that after further listening, I am ready to post my rankings. Much thought and effort, and a wall-sized pro/con list has gone into this, but I will say... AM Being There Sumerteeth (Mermaid I, II) YHF A Ghost is Born Kicking TV Sky Blue Sky Wilco However, a vinyl ranking would be more like this: AM Being There Summerteeth YHF AGIB SBS Wilco Kicking TV I'm just sayin'

Pallas, in Germany I believe. Best pressing plant anywhere. So cool this came early, unlike past releases!

We are planning to go in the morning, go for a hike, have a picnic, drink a bit, and hang out all evening! VERY excited!!

The city of Golden (20 min from RR) does a great fireworks show on the 4th. My wife and I had our rehearsal dinner in Golden on the 4th last year, and all of our guests went to watch it and were pretty impressed. It was great! Glad to hear its Okkervil River! Great news. (Wow - do I need a new Adjective or what - I squeezed a whole lotta great into that post...)

Had one. I really liked it, though I could hear its limitations by the end of the time I had it. A solid table though. I would definitely upgrade the cartridge on it - I like the Ortofon 2M Red or Blue myself. Its a good "starter" if you are moving up from a not so great Technics.

Under $300 you are best off to find something used. Technics made/makes some good tables. Depending on what you have, you might want to just upgrade your cartridge. Look on Audiogon.com Look on stevehoffman.tv for advice, do a search there.

I mean, if we're going to go down this road, we may as well invite Jay Farrar and Mike Heidorn.

Ken who? After hearing Summerteeth for the first time (and well before she became a fan of Wilco) my wife said, "do they think they're the Beatles or something?" For some people, great music = Beatles. For me, Wilco = Wilco, and 90% of the time, = Great Music. Wilco ≠ Beatles....EVER, Apples ≠ Oranges, though I love them both.

Cue Napoleon Dynamite..... "Lucky!"

Indeed. Hopefully 2-3 days doesn't mean 2-3 days from whenever we bother to get it in the mail (a la Musictoday...)

IMO Paste killed itself with Lackluster writing, asinine reviews, and decreasing quality of artistic management (layout, photos, etc.). Those are the reasons I canceled my subscription to this once great mag, and why I don't want to support them now.

9 effing dollars for shipping? Wilco may love you, but Kung Fu is full of sh*t.

Well played, sir....(ma'am?) But what I am REALLY interested in about this cover is - which chair represents which member of Wilco.... I mean this is SERIOUS stuff. Is Wilco giving us a message? I mean, clearly Jeff sits at the head of the table. It's HIS party after all.... Nels must be the one in the front-left, as that chair is so far from the table (Dear GOD that man is tall). Who has the two drink cups? Who has the noise maker (Mikael?)... Is Pat dead? Is that what this cover means? Pat is dead! What? Oh god, its Abbey Rd all over again AHHHHH! Please discuss....(p

Uhhh....I believe that should be ANNALS Anals is something COMPLETELY different. But, different strokes I guess.....

That works great, but it is expensive. Go to www.stevehoffman.tv/forums and search around there - I am not sure where exactly it is, but there is a bunch of info on cleaning records there, many obsessive collectors giving their own techniques. The Nitty Gritty is a great tool, but not 100% necessary.

The "Flipping" and interaction with my music is one of the things I love most about vinyl. The process! I don't have a fancy enough Hi-Fi to make the vinyl sound 1000% better (though IMHO it does sound 200% better), but the physicality of it, the ritual of the needle falling into the groove, and getting to know that I am a part of the process really sweetens the vinyl experience for me. Strangers Almanac is gorgeous on vinyl.

Flobots? That could be a fun warmup - though I could see a lot of people not too happy about that.

I'll flash mine for Candyfloss, but I am a dead-ringer for a heavier version of my avatar, so I am not sure if that would help or hurt the cause.....

As usual, GA is the front rows and the back. The reserved is in the middle, yes, but this is, sonically, the "sweet spot" at Red Rocks. The reserved always surrounds the soundboard, and is the area where you can hear the most clearly, even on a windy night, which changes things for the upper rows, especially. The lower GA section is fun, but generally the sound is a bit muddier that close, as the PA (vocals) is aimed to reach the whole venue, a bit above the front rows. That said, Red Rocks is a great place to see a show, the sound is generally quite good everywhere, and even the lacklu

Can't think of when off the top of my head - but there is a solo show sometime when Jeff plays Screen Door, and he says he never cared much for the line "never saw much school" and he changes it to something else that I can't recall right now either. Man, I am a font of non-knowledge, eh? But - he may talk more about the song in that appearance...I will keep thinking/looking for it. (a 2003 show?)

Agreed - I canceled my sub after 4-ish years after several issues in a row that were completely filled with drivel. The 50th issue was an abomination...and the last straw.
