My thought was for the 11/24 date to be Minneapolis, since it looks a little too west to be Chicago (someone with better understanding of US geography please correct me). Also of note is that the cities with multiple dates only have one pin viewable with the last date (like 10/26 + 10/27 in Austin, you can only see 10/27 blocking 10/26 from view), so no matter where the 11/24 show is, there could theoretically be an 11/23/22/whatever date behind it as well. So maybe it's a multi night run in Chicago Or Minneapolis?? Or there could be nothing at all and it's a mistake. Though, I imagine you ha

Maybe I'm cynical but this reeks of soulless cash grab. Feels like typical Robbie.

Bottle Rockets opening for Wilco is really cool. It would be fun to get Brian on stage for a song or two from AM.

3LPs for $15?! Damn. That would be a $70 boxset now a days limited to 1000 on clear-water-coloured vinyl.

Marketing isn't just merch. To me, the best marketed bands are some of the boomer-classic rock acts who, after years and year of effort from their labels/PR/promoters/etc, get pushed into "legendary" status despite maybe only having one or two big albums like Fleetwood Mac.

How come that last Wilco Instagram post with the map of all the places they're playing has a 11/24 date listed but there's no show announced on November 24th? Looks like somewhere in the US midwest?

Man, these bots are eccentric.

I am too! I feel like Warm took a long time from the first single till the second. How many Schmilco songs had we heard before they did their first Schmilco tourdate? I know I saw Wilco on Sept 2 and 3rd 2016 before Schmilco came out and that was the first time a lot of those songs had been played live and the first time anyone had heard a lot of them. Maybe they'll pull a Bon Iver and just randomly drop the album on the internet before the physical release date.

My top 5 most wanted: Casino Queen Blue Eyed Soul Dreamer in My Dreams Pieholden Suite When You Wake Up Feeling Old Historically, I haven't seen as many shows as some of you, but I've seen a lot of in the past few years, so I've been treated to a lot of the newer material. The rarest songs I think I've heard would be Too Far Apart, Candyfloss, and probably Listening to the Wind That Blows. Song I've heard the most? Hummingbird!

44 Teenagers from the last Sloan record directly references Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip. Great song too. Margo Price mentions Levon Helm in A Little Pain. I'm afraid you're mistaken, I'm almost certain that's a Madonna song from the 00s.

Thread is updated!

Tonight's Jeff Tweedy show was an eventful one. We got an update on Jeff's recent colonoscopy, shots were fired at another notable Chicago indie rocker, and we also celebrated Jeff's birthday. Let's dig in! First, the uh, first, THING Festival was a great experience. It's held in the Olympic Peninsula at historic Fort Worden, which is an old army base. It's an interesting setting for a music and arts fest especially considering everything is surrounded by thick PNW forests, giving it the atmosphere of being held in the woods. This is Adam Zacks new festival, Adam had previously curated Sasquat

Phosphorescent, Calexico and Iron & Wine, Jeff Tweedy, maybe the Violent Femmes, probably some others.

Just a heads up, this is not Jeff's performance at THING, he's actually on stage at 7:30pm PDT. None of the KEXP broadcasts will be open to the THING audience either. Sounds like they just have a studio set up and are having musicians come in and do sets just for radio.

Orville Peck, Kurt Vile, Parquet Courts, probably some others!

So about 42 minutes in total? I'm sure I've said this before but I really appreciate Star Wars, Schmilco, both the Warm albums, and now Ode to Joy being a single LP. I feel like that's a good length for most albums. A lot of records this year (National, Kevin Morby, etc) could probably have been stronger being edited down a bit, IMHO. The CD era ended up with a lot of records that would have been 10-15 minutes shorter on vinyl and probably better for it, glad to see things shorten down, for some artists at least.

How was that? About once a week I'll see a social media post with doors/set times and I always at the early 4ish PM doors.

That's disappointing. Maybe, whatever it is, will be released as a 7"? Wilco haven't done a physical single since Random Name Generator in 2015.

RIP https://pitchfork.com/news/david-berman-silver-jews-purple-mountains-dead-at-52/ This one hurts.

Yeah he needs to capitalize on this! I've seen the feral hogs referenced everywhere online from people outside the music world who've never even heard of Jason.

Jason Isbell, best known as the guy from the feral hog thing.

The pride of Swift Current, SK! I saw him do some songs a few weeks ago with Kathleen Edwards and Courtney Marie Andrews, never would have guessed he's only 25. Isbell is coming here in Wednesday but it's a solo acoustic gig with Josh Ritter.

Sorry for the necro-bump but I want to compliment bbop for his astute observation that this place is a dump. I was there tonight for Kurt Vile, when I got there, I noticed the state of the place and then remembered this report. I saw multiple chairs with old gum stuck to the seats. I could keep going but let's just sum it up and say the whole place is just a dive. Hopefully next time I'm in T.O. I can check out Massey Hall if it's open again.

Kurt Vile!
