i managed to pre-order a copy of this a couple of weeks ago!

29 is a highly underrated album in my opinion. 'nightbirds', 'blue sky blues', 'carolina rain' and 'starlite diner' are all great tunes! perhaps they could have been better if they were fleshed out with the cardinals, but i agree with analogman, his darkest music is some of my favourite. and yes analogman, ryan recently stated that love is hell is the best music he has ever written. having said that, despite being very hard pressed to pick a favourite, cold roses and jacksonville city nights are contenders for my favourite ryan albums

dear john blew my mind this past week at the bbc show and at koko. it has fastly become perhaps my favourite ryan tune to hear live. all the new tracks sound incredible live. they translate so well, especially with the current acoustic set-up the cardinals had going on for this short tour. if you haven't already, i suggest you get hold of the kingston show for a taster of the new material in a live setting. can't wait for the koko show to appear

not sure if im pointing out a site that many people already know about, but www.fabchannel.com have a tonne of live concerts that you can stream instantaniously. this is what they are about: "There is a lot of great music in the world. Much more than you hear on popular radio and television. Because of formats, timeslots, playlists and other old media concepts you are not getting what you should. There are bands out there that are going to change the future of music. And bands that already did. Very few of them are getting airplay these days. One thing that they are doing is touring th

where would one be able to obtain this show? im not seeing it on bt.etree or the trader's den...

indeed! this translated incredibly well in the studio imo. much more than i would have expected. dissapointing this didn't make the album...it sure beats 'what light'. ohh well, im certainly not complaining. am chuffed they released this. as always, cheers wilco! right, im off to catch the boys on jools holland.

i actually enjoy halloween head more than two and everybody knows, it's catchy!

hey all, my apologies if this has been discussed somewhere but was unable to find anything doing a search... i remember hearing a few months back that chan was back in the studio with the newly formed dirty delta blues band but haven't heard anything since. has anyone heard of anything going on in the studio/potential release dates? just picked up a pair of tickets to see her in brooklyn with built to spill in july am eager to hear how the DDBB sound... anyway, cheers all!

i agree, for the most part. the last performer i made a point of tuning in for was cat power, and i was impressed (then again, it would take alot for me to not be ). what do you think about sessions at abbey road? i think it would be brilliant if the show had more consistency in terms of good artists. will definately be watching for wilco though!

honestly, i didn't really hear much from her at all. just some backing harmonies here and there. not as good as goodnight rose (the only other track off this album i have heard..which is incredible on so many levels), but not bad. ohh, and cheers for the link

i can see why everyone is saying 'You Forgot It In People'...it is definately a good place to start. i may be in the minority, but i like some or the more instrumental albums the most. 'Bee Hives' is my favourite BSS album...and Feist's version of Lover's Spit is above and beyond the version on YFIIP

this sounds great, cheers for the heads up! do you think this is any of the venus 3 material?

i had the same exact reaction. at first i almost fell off my chair, but after realising that message is probably real i felt like an arse for almost wetting my trousers.

ha, yea sorry, missed that at the bottom of your post! im hoping misunderstood gets played at one of the two london gigs...

hope you have a great time mate!! will it be your first live wilco experience?

i have a 28 day wait and it can't come fast enough

god bless him indeed.

wow, jeff just spent a good 30 seconds talking about froggie!!!!!! 'some people have nothing better to do than follow around a rock band.....like froggie. i know that he calls himself froggie on the internet..' rock on froggie, rock on!!

yes, thank you very much!

seconded.

add steve lillywhite to that list. the man is a genius. really pushes artists to work hard and produce excellence. ohh, and daniel lanois as well!

no, not yet. i hope they do send confirmations though.

just picked up a pair of tickets for the astoria gig. i love alligator, brilliant album! 'daughters of the soho riots' is a fantastic tune. fake empire sounds great. looking forward to this release...

will definately be looking out for this on my weekly trip to the local camden record store!

cheers for your help guys. didn't think it was available on vinyl as i couldn't find anything on the net, but figured i would check. ohh well
