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

An Open Letter to Wilco: it's time for another Canada Tour (please)
TCP replied to TCP's topic in Just A Fan
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 🙄 -
An Open Letter to Wilco: it's time for another Canada Tour (please)
TCP replied to TCP's topic in Just A Fan
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. -
TCP started following The Official Bob Dylan Thread, Happy 30th Anniversary, "A.M.", Winnipeg Folk Festival and 2 others

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

So apparently they're letting me keep the extra boxset I got lol Anyone in Canada need one for cheap?

I basically spent most of 2016/17 listening to Dylan and then haven't listened to much since. But A Complete Unknown also put me in a Dylan mood and I've been listening to basically nothing but Dylan since Boxing Day. Discovered this performance a few weeks ago which just got an official upload from the Letterman account: It's so good. Punk Dylan! The wrong harmonica! I love everything about it. I can't believe it didn't make Springtime in New York (though another performance that night did). I've decided to prioritize seeing Bob live again, as I've only seen h

Just a heads up, they did the same for me but I still got fees duty fees this morning from Fedex. I think the government has cracked down on the 'gift' loophole. Friggin' Trudeau!!

Let us know what kind of response you get from Kung Fu. People on Reddit said they had to send their copies back first before new ones would get sent.

Good news! Kung Fu is shipping me a new copy with the correct vinyl. I was ready to go full Karen but they took care of me right away, that's good customer service. I see @BoyWithPoetryPowerhas the same issue and I was tagged on a post in the Facebook group with someone else hopefully this isn't too wide spread of an issue, I'm sure it won't be a cheap fix. A lot of really good stuff on these outtakes and alternates. Diamond Claw is great 'lost track'. There's been a few times that have made me stop and go 👀 One (small) disappointment is that two of the songs, Bob Dylan's 49th

Good news! My copy arrived. Doing first listen to "dbpm: Outtakes/Alternates 1". If you like raw noisy Wilco like I do, you're going to be in for a treat. The records in the boxset are called "Unstitched: Outtakes/Alternates 2", "The Hook At The Wang (10/2/04) Wang Centre-Boston, MA", and "A Ghost Is Born (Original Album)", yes that's what the spine says. Listening to a version of Muzzle of Bees that sounds like nothing I've heard before. Bad news! They sent me the black vinyl instead of the colour vinyl which hopefully they will make right as I am 1) a huge collectionist nerd and
