you ever seen a ghost?

plus R.E.M. doing "First We Take Manhattan."

-justin

i heard it was going to retail for 39.98. so, with whatever pre-order deals amazon offers, that won't be bad for a 3 CD/1 DVD set.

-justin

you'll want to add the new track "Dawned On Me" [Live In Chicago 2011]. it was released today via the wilcospinach site.

also, just trying to complete my collection: can someone help me out with these two?

i think i missed it when them when they were available.

Hell is Chrome (6-12-2004 The Vic, Chicago, IL) - free MP3 from wilcoworld.net

Spiders (Kidsmoke) (6-12-2004 The Vic, Chicago, IL) - free MP3 from wilcoworld.net

thanks!

-justin

that's not true at all. ABAAC might be bad but the last three were great, especially BTCD. most fans consider that one of their best.

-justin

there are at least two discs worth of outtakes and b-sides that we've heard that are excellent and most of those outtakes and alternates are the YHF stuff. i'm sure they could fill one or two more discs with other stuff from their career that would be fun to hear.

-justin

from a dude named justin if you PM him your e-mail address.

-justin

That greatest hits package really leaves me kinda cold, as it leaves off a few of my favorites.

7 Chinese Brothers

and

Texarkana

in particular.

 

But yeah, just the singles. I get it.

 

EDIT:

Also, (still) on a personal relation to that collection -- I find it interesting that the 2 discs split at EXACTLY the point where I lost interest in following the band. Those are pretty much exactly the 2 eras into which I see the band's career being split.

you don't like AFTP or NAIHF?

-justin

no harm intended. i really only purchase music that i can get a lossless copy of and therefore i despise iTunes bonus tracks although i do seek them out as i am a completist.

of course i've bought the deluxe edition of the album and i have 600+ CDs and a really nice pair of headphones, which is how i do my listening and why i prefer lossless. what with storage capacity and download speed increasing, hopefully all of the online music stores will transition to lossless quality...

-justin

stay out of it. i've already bought the album.

-justin

trade you the vinyl OSM and Sometimes It Happens for the iTunes "Sometimes It Happens."

e-mail me: justinpbrooks@gmail.com

-justin

can someone please PM re: the iTunes version of "Sometimes It Happens." i have the deluxe edition of the CD and the vinyl bonus tracks, but i think to truly be complete, i need the longer version of this song!

-justin

is the CD that comes with the vinyl the same as the regular CD or does it have the extender "One Sunday Morning (Song For Jane Smiley's Boyfriend)" and "Sometimes It Happens"?

-justin

anyone that would say so is stupid. at any rate, they play Wilco an the Outlaw Country station on XM, so genre categories are pretty broad.

-justin

Linda Thompson's version of the Brian Patten song. like i said, unless he took the title, it's a cover:

-justin

you guys do realize that the vinyl bonus track is a cover, right? he played a cover by that title in a solo show in the past year. can't remember who it was by. at any rate, unless he took the same title for an original of his, i imagine it's the cover song.

-justin

Henneman.

edit: oops! wrong board.

-justin

no. because i'll be so bitter.

Wilco.

PM man.

-justin

the cruelest internet persona ever.

i've been teased that this leak was forthcoming twice today.

twice.

shakes can attest.

-justin

good way of putting it. it is starting to interrupt my life as well.

-justin

which would be great, PM plz?

-justin

when you say out there, can you give any hints? i mean, i know some reviewers on last.fm have it, but i don't see it on what.cd...

why tease? of course we want to hear it. nay, need to hear it.

-justin

yeah, what.cd and waffles.fm will ban it, but if you asked the vast majority of people who download music what a transcode was, they wouldn't have a clue in hell. it would be all over the more active, non-discriminating torrent sites (piratebay, etc.), plus SoulSeek, plus all of the upload sites (mediafire, etc.)

not to mention that even the discriminating downloaders (me) who really want to hear the album would download the shitty stream rip anyway.

i mean, i've pre-ordered, but i did it through amazon.com
