Does anyone remember which of the new songs that Jeff has debuted on TTS contains some recycled lyrics? I believe it was lyrics from An Empty Corner or maybe one of the Warm/Warmer songs. IIRC, Jeff and Spencer mentioned it after Jeff finished playing it and I think it was at least mentioned here.

No interesting tidbits in terms of news, but just a lot of talk about the creative process. I haven't read much of the book yet but my impression is a lot of what Jeff was talking about was covered in the book. It was an insightful conversation, it was nice hearing Jeff be that open and be able to talk in a setting like that. Nick was a great interviewer.

Great interview, thank you for sharing Donna. Here's the juiciest bit of news in it: We've recorded maybe one third or one fourth of a record. Everybody in the band has their own recording studio, or at least the ability to do overdubs at home. We’ll probably keep working on that remotely through the winter. Ideally, we’ll have a record come out next year. We're plowing ahead on the next Solid Sound Festival. Odds are it might end up being later in 2021, if it happens at all. We’re keeping our fingers crossed. So maybe a fall 2021 SSF?? Crowd will probably be small

Dammit I hate when I'm right all the time. Live at the Troubadour was limited to 5000 world wide, this is 2500 but I assume that's just North America, maybe UK/Euro will bring it up to 5000 worldwide?? I hope so, because Troubadour seemed to be hard to find after RSD.

Tonight on The Tweedy Show, Jeff announced that an announcement is coming tomorrow (though, to me, he didn't seem 100% if tomorrow is in fact the correct date, so if not tomorrow soon) that a live Uncle Tupelo record is coming out. Must be soon, because they had the actual LP. The full title, at least on the front cover is "Uncle Tupelo Live March 24, 1994 Lounge Ax Chicago". Front cover features photo booth pictures of Jeff, Jay, Max (I think?), and John with what I assume is Ken. Or I have Ken and Max mixed up. Forgive me. Back cover is the stage with the setlist and the inner gatefold is t

I've never been a Van Halen fan but this tweet from his son was really sad:

I believe you are talking about Palace 1919. Doesn't look like it's streaming, unfortunately. No copies on Discogs at the moment but worth keeping an eye on this page: https://www.discogs.com/Jay-Bennett-Edward-Burch-Palace-1919/release/1912467

Pre-order is up, with a bonus 7"! https://wilcostore.com/collections/love-is-the-king/products/preorder-love-is-the-king-color-vinyl-lp?variant=32173148176449

Without watching the episode again I am fairly certain that was an acoustic bass. I asked Susie to get Jeff to show us the instrument but alas, no luck.

Couldn't bring myself to watch the debate but I've caught enough highlights to say: yikes! Is it really that hard to condemn white supremacy??

What's to stop a future Republican president from adding more when they inevitably take office at some point in the future?? Adding more judges is a short term solution. You need term limits. For a country that limits your leader's term to eight years for some arbitrary reason, you guys sure hate adding term limits to anything else. A one term president, who loss the popular vote, should not be able to turn the supreme court hard right for a generation. That's just broken. It seems pretty obvious that Trump will challenge the election results and take it to the supreme court to vote. Holding t

I thought Ohmme had the best cover, they really adapted it well into their own style while keeping the heart of the song the same. Ryley Walker was great too, really appreciated that he did a new song. I loved Kurt Vile's take on Passenger Side. This was at least the third Wilco song from Courtney, after Handshake Drugs at SSF and Jesus Etc on a stream once. She must be a genuine Wilco fan, I wonder what her VC handle was back in the day?? Twin Peaks cover was the only one that felt a little too safe, IMHO.

Donna @kidsmoke, you should rip an MP3 of Turn Around and Come Back to Me and send it to Jeff (via Susan). Maybe Jeff can relearn the rest of the song and play it for us!!

Unfortunately since you can't get tickets without a book, and they won't ship the book internationally, this is only open to US fans too. Fortunately a nice US based Wilco fan is letting me ship the book to his house but not everyone has that option!

Yeah and the good news is now we can tag users. Like "Hey @bböp the show has been done for 30 minutes now, where's the recap?!?!", etc.

I finally caught up and watched this last night. Even through the live stream you could tell there was a bit of a disconnection between the band and the audience. But I'm definitely glad to see things like this happening in this situation. I don't know how it is in the US but I know in the past 20 years or so most of the drive in movie theatres have shut down up here, it's too bad that some areas probably couldn't even attempt a show like this. I really liked James' pedal steel work. I didn't know he could play pedal steel, did he do it on the Tweedy tour? I know that Jeff mimicked some

That is a great quote from John and very exciting. Seems pretty clear that they have something planned! I have to say, I imagine, after taking 2018 and the first half of 2019 off, this pandemic (and taking at least a year off of touring) was not at a great time financially for the guys. I know they don't make a ton of money off records these days but if they did a physical only version or put it up on Bandcamp instead of streaming I'm sure the fans would rally to help support them... if they felt like they needed it.

Here's the original image for those interested: Doesn't look like much was changed, outside of maybe some contrast and adding the title.

Some handsome and talented person, who probably hosts a great Wilco podcast, who knows, asked on The Tweedy Show about the vinyl release for Love Is The King, Jeff said there will be another announcement soon but due to logistics they just want to get the record out. I'd have to listen again to get the exact wording but I think that was the jist of it.

This is fantastic! Thank you!

I jinxed it! Sorry everyone. Vinyl obviously has some major delays these days. No CD is interesting, seems to me that getting a CD pressed in 2020 isn't much of an issue?? There must be factors I'm not aware of. If there's no physical release for a late October album now, I can't imagine we'll get one in 2020, at least for vinyl. Hopefully this doesn't end up being another Record Store Day release.

EDIT: beaten! So was the title and cover originally leaked by Wilco World or by the web store?? My guess would be the web store, if you look at https://wilcostore.com/collections right now, has a section for "Love is the King" which doesn't go anywhere. Web store also leaked the Ode to Joy album title way in advance, IIRC. It's a leak machine.

Hurry up and give me that special edition LP to order!!!!

Ticket Chris Murphy of Sloan live stream tonight!

Poofter! That's great. To be fair, the new one is a significantly better movie than Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. Worth a watch but maybe not the $20 rental price.
