Oh man

6 songs straight w Pat on a hollowbody

Yeah. This is really something.

Wonder if that Goldtop is Allman's. Nels borrowed it before.

Channel 1, yes?

It must be taxing to have one's brain working so thoroughly and diligently on making connections to other artists' work and generating so many comparisons to previous Wilco output when listening to a new album. I feel lucky that I'm so dense. I'm the Forrest Gump of new Wilco albums.

There's not a flaw on this album. Just a joy from start to finish. No egos anywhere to be found.

I'm fairly certain there are some members of this community who would dive into an irreversible malaise were this to be the case, triggering the most insufferable, fatiguing and frightening series of threads heretofore only imagined in nightmares.

no, you have me confused with ction. I'm sure he would step in to set you straight, but he's been banned from the site.

you misunderstood my post. I was referring to the part about letting Wilco be as they want to be.

I'm no moderator but I'm pretty sure that violates one or more forum rules.

Excellent. Looking forward to hearing the Isbell contribution.

what are your initial impressions, keeping in mind that you haven't yet listened to it?

tell us more about what Jeff needs.

I now see that I carried one too many ones. I counted 82, accounting for a couple of repeats.

I wonder if anyone dissing Trey (not here, but on the interwebs in general) has really thought out what a herculean task this was for Trey. They played 180+ tunes in a space of what, 9 days? I have played in several cover bands, usually playing songs I LOVE and know by heart, and it's still difficult to keep them all in my head. And I'm only playing (no singing). That's also usually a play list of maybe 20-30 tunes. These 180 songs weren't nice little tidy 3 or 4 minute verse/chorus/bridge type songs. Many of them have complicated chord changes and ever-changing tempos and transitions

China/Ryder was a nice start!

I have thoroughly enjoyed what I've caught of these performances. Anyone who is pissing all over these shows seems to have lost what the dead were about in the first place, and it's kinda sad. If their fans get as whiny and self-centered as Wilco fans it will be a sad day.

Are there limits on how many Americans one can be actively suing while running for president? I mean, at some point doesn't it become a bit of a conflict of interest?

I'd like to publicly thank Donald Trump for making the internet just a little more interesting.

there is a big difference between someone manning a spot all day and someone plopping down a blanket or chair in the morning and expecting that to hold a prime spot the entire day. The former is reasonable, the latter is just plain douchebaggery.

that's ridiculous.

The former
