Uh oh.

You're killing me. What's your email?

Jules will crush you.

Now that's a f'ing band

I can live with that

I noticed on the website WTA is under the records section and the song titles have links but they don't work. Maybe it will be streaming there soon.

Did you go for the shirt? I did since the price was good, this being a single vinyl. Don't know if I'll ever get around to ironing something ironic on the back. "MOM!!"

Oh yes! I'm going to have to listen to Going Going Gone tonight. I think there is a very similar lick in that song. I like this. In that GQ blog, Tweedy compared the sound of the song to someone leaving the phone off the hook.

I can't believe they wouldn't tell you what seats you get before you buy. The random thing is normal over here but you can at least throw your tickets back and try again if they are really bad. Here is the email for Tony Margherita's company: info@tmmchi.com Presales are good if you're pretty sure a show is going to sell out fast. If not, I usually call the box office and they will help you pick out the best seat (they know the venue) and maybe even get you good tickets that you wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

I'll have to listen again to find the spot but there is this fuzzed out guitar line in Bull Black Nova that's low in the mix and doesn't last long, but it is perfectly placed.

Is that the Robbie Robertson-ish lick?

The gas station has been around since the 60's. The founder's last name was Williams (Williams Co. = Wilco) Wilco was formed in 1994 and is short for Will Comply.

I wish I could be more helpful, but: Hasn't this always been this way? I always assumed presales had a random allotment of tickets.

The pre-order for the album is from a different site than the DVD. Hope you get your DVD soon.

It's starting to become a skipper for me.

SS, I used to go up there quite a bit. One bar I would always make sure to stop in is Brewtopia. They brew their own beer, have decent live music. I've never seen it too crowded or dead. Just a really good vibe. Hopefully it's still around.

Vibes, kidsmoke

I saw that too. Passed a WILCO gas station for the first time this week driving from NY to FL.

I'm with you, especially on I'll Fight. When I first heard it I thought the lyrics were horrendous. I'll fight for you, kill for you, die for you, blah, blah, blah, heard it before. Then I realized it was literal (a rose is a rose)! That song is like a movie now; certain lyrical images (you'll wake with a start from a dream, abandoned by the mill, in war's waters i will wade) are coming to me in full technicolor.

These lyrics are amazing!

Me too. I think it works really well on that track.

I did the same exact thing on Monday driving back from New York. One of our friends in the back seat fell asleep during Wilco (The Album) and woke up halfway through Summerteeth. When she woke up she said, "Wow this is a long album!" There are a lot of similarities.
