What was the player you were playing it on? There is more to a great image on a larger screen than the screen itself. I'm using an HD projector with a screen in the 96" range, and the difference between different DVD players can be quite shocking. Not that this film is the be-all-end-all in image quality, but getting that 480i image up to 1080p is not as simple as running any DVD player into an HD tv.

I recall reading somewhere that the reason Candyfloss was an extra track on Summerteeth was because it didn't "fit" with the rest of the album, so they decided to just put it at the end after some silence. That's kind of how I feel about HMD. If it was a b-side or extra at the end of the album or on one of those YHF demo collections, it would make more sense to me, personally. But I've never been asked to sequence a Wilco album, so what do I know?

juniorfive, you can regret the 70 bones you didn't want to spend right now, or regret the more than 70 it will cost you in the future. I think you made the right choice. If you like Wilco and like vinyl, you want this box. I dropped $30 for each of the re-release vinyls that cam out last year, and didn't regret it. This box is even better.

The set just arrived! I guess 4 to 5 weeks was a bit of an overestimation. 10 days, including through customs, not bad. There was no GST charge, but the shipping label says $28.75 instead of $16.

For all the rare stuff like More Like The Moon, etc, I think they should do something like Pearl Jam's Lost Dogs, Wilco style. A 7" or 10" box set or separate releases would be cool, but for actually playing, and not some super rare record store day thing, lps would be better. I buy their stuff to play, not collect. I also think Mermaid Ave should get a re-release on vinyl. Both on 2 or 3 slabs, whatever it would take. And if it is too much for 2 and not enough for 3, throw on some bonus tracks. I'm kinda greedy that way.

Weeks. And I paid $16 for shipping. I'm located in Edmonton, Alberta. They also said they couldn't trace the package. Honestly, if it wasn't a RSD release that might never show up here, I wouldn't have ordered online. I don't have great luck with ordering lps online. I vowed after the gong show with the last Ryan Adams that I wouldn't do it again, but I really want a copy of this one. Hopefully everything works out. I'm also hoping that they waaaay overestimated the shipping time. I'm also curious if other Canadians have received theirs yet.

I got a reply from Nonesuch. They are telling me it shipped on the 20th and will take 4 to 5 weeks. I guess that's kinda close to Record Store Day.

I ordered mine from Nonesuch and haven't received an email yet. I sent them one yesterday, but they haven't replied back yet.

Wilco on the big screen, outdoors. The perfect way to piss off the neighbors. And I've got a few that could use it!

Well, I figure everyone is more important than me, but after we've established that they can shut their yappers. 96 foot screen! Oops I meant 96 inches. Is that screen actually 20 feet? Nice. I think my projector can only do about 160 inches. And do I see only 2 chairs and a cooler?

Sorry. I meant would the bonus tracks fit on the 2 cds with the original album? I don't have my copy with me right now. That might have played into it. I would have gladly taken a "third" disc with only the bonus tracks.

I completely agree with this ^^^^^. I do my best to not go a theater anymore. I bought a projector and built a nice big screen. For the cost of a night at the movies for two I can just buy the DVD or Bluray. Every once in a while we'll get a gift card for a night at the movies. It's wrong to complain about a gift, but after saying thanks I often think in my head, have you never been in my basement? A 96' screen, comfy couch, cold beer 10 feet away, no people yakking on cell phones, and no kids kicking your seat. Why would I want to go to a theater? Oh, and I can put on a Wilco DVD if you want

Kudos to whoever made the call for shipping the box and then the stickers separate. I've already got the CD, so unless the bonus tracks are on it, I don't care all that much. Has anybody done the math on whether the bonus tracks would fit on 2 cds anyway? I'm sure a decent vinyl rip of the bonus tracks will show up pretty quick anyway.

Have any Canucks received a shipping notice? Thanks!

My guess is if you could have asked Tweedy at that moment, he would have been more than happy to help you out. Probably with hilarious results, too. My favorite Tweedy shut-up rant was from a European show, Germany I think, when he went off on some Americans in the crowd that couldn't stop yelling. The blues festival here is just brutal sometimes. The people in the seats are good, the people in the beer area suck a lot of the time. And it's not about having too much to drink and being a loudmouth either, they're like that first thing in the afternoon, with the first act. So you had to choose b
