Yeah I'd happily drop $100 but $500 is just too much especially for what it contains. I'm happy for those who purchased it and are excited for it. I'm just relieved there's no exclusive music trapped behind that paywall.

$500 deluxe version?! Wow.

I doubt they'll shadowdrop a new album again but here's hoping. Give me a single and a cool vinyl to pre-order and I'll be happy.

Last day of Winnipeg Folkfest. There's a workshop featuring Julia Jacklin and Snail Mail who were both great yesterday. But today's big ticket item (for me) is... Steve Gunn!

The Cactus Blossoms, Julia Jacklin, and Snail Mail.

The Jeff Tweedy store now says "Ode to Joy" with an e-mail option: https://jefftweedystore.com The cached version of the page on Google is indeed the preorder page for the Warm/Warmer combo pack. Could this be in regards to the new album? What does it all mean?! The page looks like a placeholder, though it's weird it says Ode to Joy. Kind of reminds me of Schmilco where we were able to internet sleuth some listings for the new album prior to announcement. Maybe. Thanks to Dan on the Facebook group for noticing this.

Outside of Wilco concerts, I've only ever met a very small handful of people who even know who Wilco is. As soon as we parked outside our AirBnb and got our bags, an older woman across the street asked "Oh are you here for Wilco?". You know you're in a special place when a random person sitting on a porch in the evening with her dog is asking you about Wilco. When we were exploring MassMoCA on Friday afternoon a Solid Sound volunteer stopped us and asked us if we wanted to experience something that I think she described as "an immersive experience". I was about to say "uh, no thanks" but she

So I really wanted to do a top 5. But that was too hard. So then I wanted to do a top 10, but I ended up with 11 and no one to kick. Long story short, here's my top 15 with 5 honourable mentions: Orville Peck - Pony Big Thief - U.F.O.F. Calexico / Iron & Wine - Years To Burn Jeff Tweedy - WARMER Kevin Morby - Oh My God The National - I Am Easy To Find Mac Demarco - Here Comes The Cowboy Hand Habits - placeholder Andrew Bird - My Finest Work Yet Better Oblivion Community Center - Better Oblivion Community Center Steve Gunn - The Unseen In Between Stephen Malkmus - Groove Denied Strand Of

How do you even begin replacing someone as talented but also important to the band as Janet Weiss? Also, if Janet doesn't like it, that kills a lot of my hype for the new album.

Sunday ended up being a pretty good day of music for me, despite some questionable weather early on. I too also caught the Buck Meek performance, which was his lone performance at SSF yet was done as a pop up performance in the middle of B4's gallery. His vocals (and guitar?) were pushed out though a lone PA speaker and everything else was just amps and natural acoustics. Couple that with the location and a lot of the audience sitting on the floor, it ended up being a pretty cool and unique experience that you can only really get at a fest like Solid Sound. After that we caught the Autumn Defe

So, I thought the vast majority of the 10 winners did a great job. I counted two instances of coming in early but that wasn't a huge deal. I thought only one performance from the winners (I won't say who) wasn't strong, it sounded like they were struggling with the key. I had been wondering if they shifted keys on any of the songs, I guess not! But ultimately because at least in the area close to the stage, with the lyrics on screen, everyone was singing along so loud it didn't really matter who was singing on stage. It was a fun supportive night and I had a blast. Fun fact: it was my first Wi

Hey me too, what are the chances!!

Minneapolis??

Thanks for the recap U2!

Long time VCer first time SSFer here.

Play the new album in full! Do it Jeff!!

Wow, some hot takes in this thread. I for one love internet hot takes and this message board needs them!! But.... Count me down as someone desperately wanting new Wilco music. Star Wars and Schmilco are objectively great albums, if you'd rather hear Heavy Metal Drummer for the 2000th time, that's on you. Obviously Being There - A Ghost Is Born are hard albums to top but you also need to be aware of your own nostalgia for their old albums. I wouldn't read too much into setlists to what is essentially a warm up tour before they start promoting new material in the fall. Or a one off show from the

Outside of the 6 members of Wilco, I think the most prominent person I noticed was bbop himself, boping his head along to the songs in the crowd! I tried to see theashtraysays but didn't see him, though I did see his sign during the beginning of Nova.

It's disappointing that for all the narratives they made up, they still included Allen Ginsberg. I mean, you're making stuff up, why not just exclude him entirely?

Wait wait, she yelled for Mountain Bed DURING Reservations!? I saw someone on the Facebook group bragging that Jeff played Mountain Bed for them, which sounded like a feel good moment, but not if she interrupted a song. Anyways, great recap bbop as always. It's a great feeling to have Wilco shows to be recapped.

I'm not a Blues fan, but I'm happy for them and their fanbase, it's a feel good story. I'm also happy that the Bruins lost. Best of all, the Leafs now have sole ownership of the longest Cup drought. That's just good stuff!

Personally I hope this means Wilco XI is a concept album about The Dark Knight. Odes about Nightwing, ballads about Harvey Dent, and a jaunty waltz about Harley Quinn. Honestly they could probably repurpose The Joke Explained as a song about The Joker.
