That's very fair. We have the benefit/obligation of having dogs, so we've planned pauses in the middle of the day to go home and let them out. It ends up being more driving than I'd like but preferable to spending too long out there. The heat, the noise, the walking around, all adds up.

It's been a very dry spring, so I would imagine the bugs won't be bad. The first few years I went I always brought bug spray but I've never ended up using it. I think they spray the area pretty good for mosquitoes in preparation for Folk Fest. Just a heads up, Manitoba's had some devastating forest fires recently, which has caused some poor air quality and hazy days. But it's been smoke free for the past few weeks. Coming from the west coast, one thing I've realized is the weather forecasting in the Prairies is much less reliable. I'm not going to put too much stock in the forecast until

I'm ready for the album announcement, the single, and most importantly, the tourdates. Let's go!

Yeah, glad to see another one drop so soon. I've been biking to work and for the most part Orange was a really good listen for that sort of thing. I played Blue on my way home today and it didn't really motivate me to pedal harder, even if I did love the deep cuts.

Deep Sea Diver is as good as an opener as Wilco has had in the past few years. Well, Waxahatchee too. It's probably bad mojo playing two sets at Royal Albert Hall. I heard once someone did that and they got yelled at. Or is that Manchester I'm thinking of? 🤔

Listen, I don't know much about nothing, especially religion. I am not Catholic and I'm pretty sure if I walked into a church I'd burst into flames. But!!! This new Pope is the first Pope, after 266 other Popes, that has a reasonable chance of knowing Wilco. First, let's consider other likely Popes: Pope Nicholas IV? Nope, that dude died 700 years before Uncle Tupelo released Still Feel Gone and therefore sadly never had the chance to listen to Wilco. Pope John Paul II? Yeah, technically Wilco was formed under his watch but in the early to mid 90s he struck me as more of

The winters are pretty brutal here. I describe it as 'Winnipeg is the actual part of Canada that Americans envision Canadian winter being like'. They're cold and long. But the summers are hot and beautiful. And I do think the tough winters are, at least partly responsible for the amount of art and music that comes from this city. Out of all the major Canadian cities, Winnipeg is the smallest, yet Neil Young, The Guess Who (+BTO), The Weakerthans, Propaghandi, William Prince, etc etc are all from Winnipeg (or nearby, in the case of Propaghandi). Can you name that many bands from Calgary? I

You can count on me Mr. Bbop. I mean, probably. If not, Vince will be there for back up. Last show of the tour, last Wilco show for a while, and your birthday AND Wilco's first Edmonton show in 15 years. Sure to be a barnburner. You've never had a birthday until you've had an Edmonton birthday. Who knows, if today's election goes to the Liberal party, this also might be the first two shows in the newly formed Alberta country 🙄

New tour dates and look...! Sometimes complaining on the internet DOES work. Now, Wilco, please add an August 31 or September 1 date in Winnipeg. In the meanwhile I'll be buying tickets for Calgary and Edmonton.

When I got into Wilco, I remember for a lot of people my age, AM wasn't cool. It was "country" and country music was the enemy. This was in the early 00s when country music was "I love America" and rock music was anti-Bush/war. At least that's how us youths viewed it. I recall talking to other teens who liked Wilco (this is the YHF -> AGIB era) and they would always specify "but not the early country stuff". I always secretly liked it though. I'm glad the kids today can listen to MJ Lenderman get as twangy as he wants without judgement. I still think AM is a solid album with a few clu

Hello! Giant post incoming... Winnipeg Folk Festival is great! My work flew me out to Winnipeg in 2018, in the middle of summer, before offering me a role out here. Going to Folk Festival is one of the first things I did in this city and I think it's a big part of the reason I fell in love with this city. Then when I moved out it was middle of December and that...... is a very different city. WPG FF has a laid back atmosphere that feels very community grown. There's a few things about it I would describe as archaic. Mostly the seating/standing rules. Most people at the festival

I got the 11LP set on silver vinyl and according to my e-mail the price was $235 USD before shipping.

Is this it? https://www.nugs.net/live-download-of-wilco-eldborg-concert-hall-harpa-reykjavik-ic-04-06-2023-mp3-flac-or-online-music-streaming/41663.html
