are you saying they did but the vinyl as a bonus on the CD?
you mean hypothetically, correct?

i'm fine with that. :-)

deluxe is 13.49 on amazon pre-order. wouldn't be surprised if it even dropped another buck or so. plus, you get the free shipping if you order enough to make a total of $25, which i will have no problem doing. why the hell would i order from the official store and pay almost $25 just for the deluxe and shipping?

you are aware that there are literally hundreds of "clues" and already a website dedicated to the theory that there is more music forthcoming, right?

it seems like, for the people that don't like this album (or Radiohead), that it's a problem with the person themselves, rather than the band or the music.
i refuse to see it any other way.

what's number one Shakes? is it The King of Limbs or is it the SFA solo dude's record?

it's okay.
i don't think i'll ever gush over anything radiohead does. their music makes me feel claustrophobic and it always sounds so ...depressingly futuristic, i guess. like, if all those horrible visions of the future in 1980s sci-fi movies came true, the music would sound like this. and that's depressing as fuck.
honestly, i think that's a great description, but the thing is, that is exactly why i adore Radiohead and always have.

you really think so?
i think it sounds like a mix of The Eraser and the Amnesiac-era b-sides ("Cuttooth," etc.) i also think it is sort of revolutionary and will take time to sink in. i sort of disliked it on first listen, but the second listen really opened up for me. it's an about-face. it doesn't have any traditional chord changes, few catchy melodies and little guitar. kinda like Kid A when everyone said that one was bad.

i'm assuming there hasn't been any news of a new Wilco single available for sale at the festival? i think there had been talk of that with all of the news stories surrounding Wilco and their own label...

isn't there a cross on the back?

i'm a huge fan myself.
anyway, to answer your question:
i mean, the self-titled EP is easily as good as the debut album, just shorter. one song ("Into The Stream") is actually a repeat. if you are trying to complete your discography, there is a free track he donated to the Yellow Bird Project online (called "A Field Of Birds") and the "King of Spain" single from the new album has 2 b-sides. one is a cover of "Graceland" and another is a gorgeous, gorgeous balled called "Where I Thought I Met The Angels."

Thanks.

In both Wilco and Loose Fur lyrics, Tweedy makes reference to the season autumn as being that of the devil... is there something in the Bible or some other religious teaching that labels autumn as the devil's month? Who came up with this metaphor first, if not?
uh...wot?

don't know if my JavaScript is not up to date or what, but i can't seem to get any information about when the Richmond tickets go on sale. can anyone tell me?
thanks!

good news. a couple days before my 28th b-day, but i should be there.
since they are recording now, i wonder if we'll hear new songs on this tour? seems very possible...
-justin

i think the Landmark would be better for a solo show, like the one Tweedy did at the Paramount in C-ville.
i do walk to work and i walk a lot of places in the slip and the Bottom, but if i go to the fan, i take my car. i really wish they had a light rail to the fan or west end or a trolly like they used to on Broad.

additionally, can you please tell your fellow students to stop darting out in front of my moving vehicle/jaywalking when school is in session. i'd like to be able to drive through those two blocks in less than 10 minutes...

nice pics DBoon! i've been thinking about taking a skyline shot since Grand Illumination. do you have a bigger one you can send me?
say what you will about the murders and all that, but i love me some Richmond.
i'm not even sure New York can lay claim to an Italian place as good as Mama 'Zu...

i usually like NPR, but to fail to mention "Love & Theft" or any Dylan at all is a travesty.

i agree with most of the posters in this thread: i download a good deal of music (full albums) in .mp3 (stealing) and then listen to them until i decide if i want to buy it or not. i have hundreds and hundreds of physical CDs and continue to buy them almost weekly. i want the full quality. i want the artwork. i want a back-up. when digital finally wins out, we'll have lossless downloads. the only reason we don't have them now is that the vast majority of people don't care/realize about sound quality. we have the bandwidth and storage space...we have the technology. that being said, analysts already predict that there will be no technology to supplant Blu-Ray in terms of physical product. what we are moving toward is high-quality (uncompressed) video and audio downloads purchased via the Internet. what happens when your hard drive fails? do you have to re-purchase? do you get to re-download based on your purchase history?
at any rate, i buy all of my albums via amazon and will continue to do so until they stop making CDs. but have you guys been in a Best Buy recently? their CD section has shrunk and the selection is nothing like it used to be even a couple of years ago. same deal at Plan 9, the state-wide (Virginia) independent record store. not to mention they closed half of their stores... i don't think the death of the CD is over-hyped in the least. it is happening, unfortunately. also, i don't think it will have the same hardcore following the vinyl has, because your hardcore music nerd (the person that will still buy physical product), will still be buying vinyl for the superior audio quality and the aesthetic value.

earlier this year, i was able to get the $105 Goodbye, Babylon box set from a third-party amazon.com seller that mistakenly had it listed at 7.99. my thinking is that it should have been 97.99 and it was sealed and brand new. either way, they honored it... deal of the century if you ask me.

no, they wouldn't. if they let people who pre-ordered stream it, a capture of that stream would be all over the internet within a couple of hours.
