you ever seen a ghost?

i think this is Wilco's In Rainbows. they've taken everything they've learned over the past few albums and made an album that is unquestionably Wilco-esque and at the same time, fantastic. yeah, it's not revolutionary like Kid A or Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, but it isn't trying to be. they're on the other side of that, making consistently great albums. -justin

i'm sure he means the one you could download officially if you pre-ordered the Ashes of American Flags documentary. it is from 2008, i think, not sure which night. -justin

no scans then? -justin

would be amazing if someone could post scans. -justin

well, i was at the Vienna show obviously. i think they'll hit The National in the Fall (fingers crossed). they won't play the NorVa, but they may play C-ville... -justin

i think they did a DVD Audio version, but that's it. -justin

i think that is fairly obvious. problem being that Wolf Trap isn't actually there yet. -justin

does anyone else find the piecemeal way they are doling this out really annoying? i really want to read the list and their comments, but i don't want to go to this website 20 times for 20 days to read them all. -justin

any sign of the torrent yet? -justin

i always thought it was "she knows nothing of happiness." -justin

so, they are not selling it at the shows then?? damn... -justin

correct me if i am wrong, but i was almost certain that "Love Vigilantes" was the same version as the one that has been out awhile, which is off of an iTunes-only compilation. -justin

Family Guy. -justin

i did the same thing, i ordered Shepherd's Dog through Sub Pop to have a lossless copy of the bonus disc. then, when my shipment was lost (along with others), they threw in the "Boy With A Coin" single for free, which was even better because i was really digging the .mp3 of "Carried Home." now, both are pointless. it is good that you have the "Passing Afternoon" single though, because that version of "Dearest Forsaken" is pretty nice. you are correct about that BTW, the Around the Well version was on the Sub Pop vinyl single series and is home studio...way out of print. -justin

abebooks.com. a prefect quality copy starts at around $50 or $60, i think. -justin

bought a first edition h/c two years ago and have seen it double in value (at least) so far (depending on where you buy), considering it is in perfect condition. -justin

yeah, the interview/feature would be nice too. -justin

it is a bit more complicated than that. even as a massive Dylan fan, i don't fit into their demographic either. i buy the issues with Dylan interviews/features (one every two or three years) and that's about it. RS is pretty much the only magazine (because they are so big) that Dylan even deals with. besides that, the reason we don't fit into their demographic is simply that we are apparently discerning music nerds. aside from featuring airbrushed pop stars that don't even make music on the cover, they generally heap praise on any pile of shit that comes across top 40 radio these days. t

well, i was with you up until the Bob Dylan part. then you lost me big time. -justin

by any chance did it give a rough timeframe? -justin

like he said, the full albums are not on there. but, to answer the question anyway, the market for the remastered albums is still going to be pretty high. i know i want to replace my old copies. also, there will be plenty of people not buying Archives, who want the remasetered albums (::raises hand: they really should have included the full albums on Archives though...it wouldn't have been but a handful of songs to make it complete... what a mess this project is. -justin

i'm pretty sure that it is "out beyond the telescope's pry" not "prowl." -justin

has it been confirmed that the albums are finally going to be remastered? -justin

i'm pretty sure it has not leaked yet. -justin

the disorienting and disquieting part is a good thing! i love MT...especially lyrically. i think the new album is great (not as good as the previous two, but great all the same). it isn't nearly as dense lyrically. some of the lyrics definitely sneak up on you, but overall, it is pared down. -justin
