  1. I already have Wam and Warmer LPs but the completionist in me needs that bonus track. Hmm......
  2. I've been predicting an October release for awhile now and I'm well known for my Nostradamus-like Wilco predictions.
  3. Is anyone in the Neil Young Archives? It's a subscription service but each subscriber gets a unique code for each show, so there's not anywhere near as much competition as a regular pre-sale. Not only that, but most, if not all, of the first few rows are reserved for subscribers. I can't help but feel Wilco, while not the most popular band, has enough hardcore fans they could do something like that and tie it in with a quarterly or annual vinyl release or streaming access to the roadcases or something like that.
  4. I miss Winamp. Anyone remember Winamp?
  5. I can't load the article quoted in the OP, but the first iPhone was released less than three weeks before this thread was made. Think how much of a non-issue filming concerts was back then compared to today. Obviously some phones could shoot video in 2007 and lots of phones could take pictures, but none of that was anywhere near as common place as it is today. I would have agreed with Ben even back in 2007 but we had no idea how bad it was about to get.
  6. The Wilco Facebook page describes it as "The first leg of the fall tour" so hopefully some mid-west dates are coming later.
  7. NAILED IT!!! ....No shows anywhere near me. Disappointed. I wasn't expecting a Winnipeg show but I was hoping for Minneapolis. Maybe in 2020...
  8. Well.... next week for sure guys. I'm rarely wrong twice!!
  9. If it's a joint Wilco/Beck tour that gets announced soon, I will look like a genius! I don't know this Albany station, but it's possible if Wilco is playing Albany that the radio station could be involved in promoting it, which would give them inside knowledge. Otherwise I question how much early access to singles a radiostation that isn't KEXP/KCRW/Siriux XMU, would get for Wilco in this day and age. Lots of bands are announcing fall tours this week and dropping singles. Sufjan Stevens and Sleater-Kinney both released singles this morning. So I still feel strong about something happening
  10. Oh good point about the Tuesday thing. Ok, so, not to beck pedal, but if not this week than next Tuesday. Further predictions: No album announcement, but I could see a single getting dropped like Locator did before Schmilco was announced.
  11. I have a good feeling the North American tour will be announced this week. If this doesn't happen you can all blame me.
  12. I highly doubt a small sign held briefly at shoulder height would be as obstructive for the people behind me as say, me with my (admittedly) large head and 6"3 height. Hey I'm the first person to suggest we keep things from getting too US centric but this will be the majority of festival goer's first Wilco show since the Schmilco tour, so I think we can understand theashtraysay's point.
  13. Great recap! Do you think there's time to mail your sign??
  14. New record is great, I listened to it last night and (some of it) on the way into work this morning. Matt's voice sounds great when mixed with the female harmony vocals. Over all I get a more positive hopeful vibe from this album than Sleep Well Beast. I will say, it's a good example of an album that could probably lose a few songs. Not that anything sticks out as a bad song, but when it was over, I didn't want to put on side A again, which is not the case for a shorter more concise album like Boxer.
  15. Millennials don't have the disposable incomes to drink!!
  16. As you guys know, I am the official Youngest Wilco Fan© and even I am 32 in a few weeks, so I don't think you'll need to worry about Spring Breaker Wilco fans! At least from the first gen Wilco fans. Of course, some of you baby boomers and gen Xers probably don't get out too much, so it could still be a pretty hard partying event.
  17. I will not be going. I went to Mexico for my sister's wedding in 2011 and did not enjoy the heat or lounging by the pool and beach. While the lineup is great (arguably better than SSF19) ultimately I feel like this isn't for me. I do like traveling around for concerts, this would eat up my entire 2020 budget. Not dead yet! There was discussion in the A Wilco Related Live Show thread.

    A new Wilco album recorded live is an interesting idea and Night One at Solid Sound would be the best time to do it. But, I think there was a lot of rumours of them recording in the fall/winter (the Blackhawks game photo comes to mind). The rumours/speculation were for an autumn release but with the Euro tours and we're all pretty sure they're about to announce an extensive Canadian tour (right?!) I can't imagine they'll be doing the Schmilco sets again. A surprise summer release like Star Wars was would be fun! When Songs: Ohia's Mi Sei Apparso Come Un Fantasma (You Appeared To Me As A
  19. Apparently a new unreleased Ty album leaked yesterday. Did anyone happen to get it? Thoughts??
  20. Choo Choo!! That's going to great live.
  21. Yeah I feel like Mac really made a distinct guitar sound for himself with the clean DI sound and lots of tremelo, but I'm not hearing that much on this new album, though it still very much sounds like Mac. I'll agree with you about This Old Dog being his best, that record was my soundtrack to summer 2017. Another One is great too though, I feel like a lot of people overlooked it because it's a mini album but I think it's some of his strongest work. Also how great is the end to Baby Bye Bye? Very unexpected but fun!

    I'm going to be really annoyed if it's a colour vinyl release. So annoyed. But then I will buy it. Because I'm a SUCKER.
  23. It's well past time that Mac gets his own Via Chicago thread. If you don't know who Mac DeMarco is he's one of this decade's most notable names in indie rock. He's released four studio albums, 2, Salad Days, This Old Dog, and as of today, Here Comes The Cowboy. He's also released two "mini LPs" Rock and Roll Night Club and Anther One. Mac was born in Duncan, BC (that's in Canada), grew up in Edmonton Alberta (that's also in Canada), and started his career in the Vancouver (that too is in Canada) indie rock scene. Mac's punk-rock inspired on stage antics earned him a reputation of being a bit
  24. I like grabbing a few pics when the artist first gets on stage, especially if I'm close like I was last night but it's a fine tradeoff to not have idiots on their phones filming everything the whole time. I know I've brought this up before but I saw a guy film an entire Wilco concert on his iPad once. His iPad!!!!
