Welp, I've officially been missing out on this band. I listened to the new album today, it's great. Is there anything else I should check out by them ASAP?

Yeah seems like a missed opportunity to not perform Like A Rolling Stone together.

Looks like those who went to Desert Trip got a good setlist, at least, no Sinatra: 1. Rainy Day Women #12 & 352. Don't Think Twice, It's All Right3. Highway 61 Revisited4. It's All Over Now, Baby Blue5. High Water (for Charley Patton)6. Simple Twist Of Fate7. Early Roman Kings8. Love Sick9. Tangled Up In Blue10. Lonesome Day Blues11. Make You Feel My Love12. Pay In Blood13. Desolation Row14. Soon After Midnight15. Ballad Of A Thin Man--------------16. Masters Of War

I had a chance to listen to September 3rd. You can somewhat hear the woman screaming during Company In My Back, the song ends, crowd cheers and it gets faded with the crowd cheering with the band coming back onstage. I felt a little uncomfortable after the incident (I probably should have just got a drink) and got a little annoyed with a group of loud mouths in front of me, so it's nice to be able to properly enjoy this show now I'm definitely biased because I was there and it was the best Wilco show I've seen, but September 2nd might be the best roadcase I've heard. If you're only going t

Just grabbed the Seattle bundle. It appears the whole emergency bit has been cut out, good call who'd want to listen that again? I need to throw these on my iPod and go for a drive tonight. I'm still bummed Roadcast 18 is missing. I have an audience recording but I want to hear the professional recording. Must be a licensing thing with all the covers??

Just scratched my orange copy to get one of the new pressings. Purposefully scratching a record felt very wrong but I already have a black copy, which does sound way better. I did notice that even the sleeve was worse with the orange copy, the colours were pretty muted in comparison.

But the heckling would be different in each concert!

For those not aware this is in place of this year's copyright extension. Basically, some European laws have made material need to be released after 50 years to keep a copyright on it, otherwise it enters public domain in Europe. They've been doing this since 2012 (1962). Usually it's released either as a small run boxset of vinyl records, or sometimes as MP3s either (briefly) on iTunes or as a bonus for those who bought the Cutting Edge boxset last year. This year it's more available as a CD boxset likely due to the amount of high quality recordings of the 1966 concerts thanks to the Don't Loo

Did they send just the record or did it come in the sleeve?

The Late Show YouTube account just posted this, with Jeff revealing the next Wilco album's title.

That was the response from Kung Fu or was that from the gmail address gopokes posted?

The safe bet would be If I Ever Was A Child but I'm hoping for We Aren't The World. Have fun! Take pictures!

Doc and Junior, that's too bad you two aren't feeling the newer albums as much. In my opinion they're the best two albums in a row the band has done since Yankee Hotel Foxtrot/A Ghost Is Born. I think every Wilco album has been good but to my ears the Sky Blue Sky, Wilco The Album, The Whole Love, maybe sounded a bit... complacent? Not sure if that's the best word to describe them, but I definitely never got into them as much as I have the new two (though, full disclosure, I find the older I get, the more I appreciate Sky Blue Sky). To me Star Wars and Schmilco sound very fresh and solid, they

That video was great, thanks for sharing!

Full episode HERE. Jeff was pretty funny!

In Canada but still waiting on my orange vinyl. It's frustrating, I pre-ordered that Sam Beam and Jessca Hoop album from Sub Pop a few months ago and it showed the day before release. With anything I pre-order through Kung Fu though, I pay way more for shipping than anywhere else and I get it weeks after release. The most annoying thing is, I remember ordering stuff through Weezer's Kung Fu store when I was in high school, circa 2002/3, and it was the same problems then too. Fortunately I picked up a black copy over Labour Day in Seattle so that makes the waiting a little easier!

Yeah I'd imagine there's something weird going on with your set up. I can't think of how the pressing process went wrong for that to be the case. It's possible, I suppose, but you should do some tests and make sure everything is set up correctly, just to be sure!

I hope jff is right. I've always wanted to visit Amoeba LA, even if it's supposedly a little touristy.

Yeah, I got the 2014 reissues too, they were exceptionally well done. Just like the original, the inside of On The Beach's jacket matches the inside of the umbrella on the cover. Just lots of little details like that. Plus the pressing quality is top notch, as always with Neil's albums. I really want Harvest Moon on vinyl, but it took six years between the 2009 reissues of the first four albums to reissues of the next four (individually, at least). So Harvest Moon will be available in 2040 maybe.

NOOOOO!!! Do not, I can't repeat this enough, do NOT use paper towel on a vinyl record, that'll make things much worse. There's a few solutions online to cleaning records, don't use woodglue or something like that, but destilled water and a microfibre cloth should work. If you're serious about vinyl, I can't recommend the Spin Clean enough. It's pretty affordable and does a great job.

An important note from last night's Wilco concert regarding (potentially) this thread, courtesy bbop: Based off that I will now update my Wilco album standings to a 10 way tie between AM, Being There, Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, A Ghost Is Born, Sky Blue Sky, Wilco (The Album), The Whole Love, Star Wars, and Schmilco. ALL RECORDS ARE EQUAL!

Yeah I picked it up on Friday. It's pretty good. Though if you already have most of The White Stripes albums, a lot of this would be redundant. Some of the new mixes are really cool and there's some b-sides and songs like Love Is The Truth which is nice to own on vinyl. It's too bad, one of the recent Third Man Records Vault package was a live Jack White acoustic show, accompanied by stand up bass, dobro, and fiddle. It was a much more interesting acoustic release.

I have a short 5 minute drive into work, so I'll listen to CBC Radio 2 on the way in and the way home, they usually play pretty good music. If I'm in the office I'm usually editing video, so music would be too distracting but if I'm doing admin work (or slacking) I'll open spotify. On the weekends if the wife and I are driving around we'll use our iPod in the car. At home though, it's all vinyl.

Picture?!

I believe they delivered it to Schmanalogshman.
