Millennials don't have the disposable incomes to drink!!

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.

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

Apparently a new unreleased Ty album leaked yesterday. Did anyone happen to get it? Thoughts??

Choo Choo!! That's going to great live.

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.

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

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!!!!

Donna, Neko was great! She had a six piece band with her, and at a few points there was 5 guitars at the same time. But other times there was keyboards, pedal steel, and vocal harmonies. Fox Confessor was an important album for me in my college years so it was great to finally hear some of those songs live (alas, no Star Witness!!) and I was impressed with how well the Hell-On songs sounded next to them. My biggest thing of note was how strict the Burton Cummings Theatre was with cellphones. When they scanned your ticket they warned you no cellphone use at all unless you're in the lobby. Suppo

Neko Case!

Love that take of Don't Be Denied. Can't wait for this. According to Rolling Stone Homegrown is next.

Surprising to hear the response to Schmilco hasn't warmed yet. Reminds me of Sky Blue Sky when it launched. Star Wars is the fun party record (well as close to a party as Wilco gets, you know what I mean!) and Schmilco is the weird autumn record for listening to alone at night. Both have their time and place. Both rank among the strongest of Nels/Pat era Wilco, IMHO.

The wife and I were planning on going to Vancouver for the Iron and Wine / Calexico show on August 24th, but they'll also be playing this. But so is Jeff, and Kurt Vile, and Snail Mail, and Phosphorescent, and Parquet Courts.... that's a great line up. So, long story short, sounds like we'll be going. After Solid Sound and the Winnipeg Folkfest, this will be my third music fest this summer, let's see if I survive. Regardless, I hope to see some other VC'ers there!

Wow, those Jay Bennett exchanges are something else. The nerve of these people. Paul, thank you for your recaps and thanks to all the others who chimed in as well. This has been an interesting tour to read about. Are you going to Europe for the Wilco shows this summer/fall??

Great recap bbop. I really enjoy reading these when I come into work, after I check my e-mails, but before I'm emotionally ready to tackle my tasks of the day. Great setlist! I wish I could have heard Plateau.

You mean you don't have one of these??

Game of Thrones ending begins tomorrow. Any other fans on here? I've reconciled that this isn't George RR Martin's story anymore but since he hasn't released a book since 2011, I'm just happy to finally have any sort of ending for A Song of Ice and Fire.

We lined up two hours early for a local record store that gets a lot of RSD stuff in. We were the 3rd/4th people in line but someone 5 people down knew exactly where it was and pushed his way in for the only copy, super frustrating. We checked all 4 other places, but none of them even got a copy. For a city of nearly 800K people, we got one copy.

Doesn't hurt to call and ask. I have seen some record stores confirm what they will (or at least, what they won't) have in advance. Other record stores, like the one I'm going to in Winnipeg, won't say. Before I moved here, in my last city, there was two small stores that would just special order what you requested (though, they wouldn't always receive it) which is apparently unheard of in bigger communities.

I think it's cool Jeff is doing this to support indie record stores. I do think since there won't be any other way to hear this (at first) there will be more demand than the 3500 NA and 1500 EU copies can facilitate. This probably could have been an 8000 release. But, on the other hand, Jeff's people probably know the numbers better than me, an internet message board commentator!! Either way, keeping this as a true RSD exclusive is a great thing to do, IMHO.

If you don't get it, don't panic. Some areas will be better supplied than others. I'm sure other Wilco fans will be willing to help each other out. A lot of times a day or so after RSD, stores with left over supply will start listings theirs for sale. I got the Uncle Tupelo demos last year from Amoeba that way, for the same price in store (plus shipping). Whatever you do, don't buy an $80 copy off a flipper from Discogs till the dust settles. It'll take some time to determine the demand and the worth for that record, but you'll see copies on Discogs/eBay on Record Store Day for ridiculously in

For what it's worth, I was chatting with my local record store owner this weekend and he said the distributor got significantly less copies of Warmer than they were expecting/hoping for. 5000 isn't a lot to go across the globe, so this might not just be a Canadian problem. I'm planning on arriving at my record store early.

Wow nice setlist!! Good job requesters and Jeff.
