Good call, that was one of my 21st birthday presents I picked up pretty cheaply via the Amazon marketplace too, it's well worth it. --Mike

Sounds incredible, I've spinning that and Palace's Viva Last Blues quite a bit lately. --Mike

That it is. --Mike

That's the one I have too, and then I have it again on the Zombie Heaven box. --Mike

Did it leak? --Mike

At Least That's What You Said, Another Man's Done Gone, and How To Fight Loneliness, all come to mind. --Mike

Laminated Cat/Not For The Season, everything on Summerteeth with the exception of She's A Jar --Mike

Yeah I could see Nels driving around in a jetta, while playing the solo to Ashes. "Volkswagen: Safe Enough for a Guitar God." --Mike

Thanks for the link, that's one of the better features on the band I've read this month. --Mike

Great news on this Kurosky album finally seeing the light of day and Aeroplane is one of my favorite albums ever, I could listen to pretty much anything anyone from the E6 crew puts out for hours on end. Anyway thanks for sharing that article and the update. --Mike

Trials was my favorite record of last year, I still spin it once or twice every couple of weeks. Check this out (it's a pro-shot live concert of theirs from August of 2006) http://www.fabchannel.com/midlake. Great stuff. --Mike

I don't love that they are doing this, but I did find out about Nick Drake through a Volkswagen commercial several years ago, so at least the people picking the songs have good taste. If it turns one person on to the music that hadn't really heard of Wilco before hand, then doing it certainly has it's benefits. --Mike

The setlists from these shows have been amazing, I am going to have to start bting again real soon. --Mike

This guy has about four different posts of actual material that he just keeps popping in again, again and again. --Mike

Good points but The Clash certainly were inspired by the earlier work of The Who and certainly The Stooges. Cooper certainly was listening to those bands and The Doors and The Stones. --Mike

Totally agree with you and there's something really haunted and unsettling about Millionaire that gets me every time, I'd love it if these guys would tour or at least do a couple of more one off gigs at some point. --Mike

Have musicians ever stopped embracing the music of the sixties since the sixties?

I think that version of You Are My Face might be the best Wilco television performance ever, it's certainly up there with the 2005 ACL, Jesus, etc. on Leno and My Darling on the Sessions on 54th. That was amazing. --Mike

Not the Emerson Lake and Palmer thread I was expecting

Yeah, I'd love to see dBPm see the light of day at some point. --Mike

Leave Me is actually my favorite cut on the album, I love the quieter stuff Sky Blue Sky, Patient With Me and On and On and On. You Are My Face is a gem and Hate it Here is fantastic. --Mike

Down With Wilco is their Magical Mystery Tour, or at least Magical Mystery Tour if the Beatles had backed Donovan for an entire album which all things considered would have been pretty cool. --Mike

Ah it happens to the best of us. George Harrison and Lennon both famously did it, and more recently Wayne Coyne lifted the melody of Father and Son. --Mike

Still don't have mine yet, it might be time for a bitchy phone call/e-mail. --Mike
