Is there a link to Round 2 voting?
I'm hoping the link is now round 2 or I've been ballot stuffing.

Fun to fill out. I'll be curious to see where this goes.

Huh, they Glenn and Jeff did a similar schtick at the beginning of the encore in Osaka. He whispers something to Jeff, Jeff asks if he wants to say something, and then he tells the audience that Glenn just wanted to say "sorry". So that was a pre-planned bit?
In my mind Glenn had been working on and off for the last six months on Duo Lingo and was getting psyched to address the crowd in Japanese, expressing admiration for their many beautiful cultural contributions to the world, but then clammed up under pressure. I suppose we'll never know.

Yeah sorry about that. Copy/paste while I was offline on a plane. There’s probly a way to fix it but I’m a Luddite.
Ha, no worries. It's worth a read either way.

^ It's good of you to find a font size that my old man can see without his readers, but it's a bit overwhelming.

The Wilco Book CD is a compilation of the (12?) Fundamentals session recordings, right? Would love to hear more of those!Yeah, I remember Jeff saying after all of the scrutiny they put into perfecting YHF he wanted to practice making "records" in real time. I think they did it multiple times. Like anything, I'm sure there's plenty of stuff no one ever needed to hear, but there are probably some gems. Maybe even the hammer dulcimer licks that made it into real songs!

I don't know anything more than the next Wilco nerd, but when Jeff talks on his Substack about how their archivist (Cheryl Pawelski who curated the YHF reissue) has been hanging around the Loft with him, you know they're getting ready to shake loose some recording you've never heard. AGIB 20 Year is being prepped.
That's my prediction at least.

Some of the greats old and new on here already.
I'll add Laura Marling:
Much lesser known, and I think criminally so is Rachel Sermanni

I'm not concerned with Tweedy's opinion on any given song, but the idea that people have a natural inclination to reject things they can't do is so ignorant and obviously false that it blows my mind. Especially coming from Tweedy, who I have always found to be really eloquent and insightful.
I think it was some good natured kidding and self depreciating humor. He was just saying he can't even do that kind of singing. It's actually an ancient mythologized psychological concept referred to as "sour grapes". Not a prescription, or a recommendation.

Okay, call me crazy. For ages what I wanted was down home, simple Tweedy solo stuff and abstract experimental Wilco stuff. But whaaaaat if right now with the W boys crushing Cruel Country (stronger than Live Is the King imho) we need the Tweedy family to do some more "Diamond Light" type stuff. Let Sammy go off in the deep end of analog synthesis. Spencer's been doing the chill, deep country rock groove stuff with Katie Crutchfield maybe he can show off the other half of his chops.
Whatever we get, I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

AGIB 20!
I keep thinking this is a serious possibility.

Don't sleep on Horsegirl either folks. That was one of the more exciting 2022 discoveries for me. Like that hip Alvvays band if they were scrappier, kind of the punk tinged side of Sonic Youth mingling with the shoegaze elements.
Wish I could go!

I love that city. Please tell me the venue was somewhere downtown in the old Spanish architecture and not in some suburb. That's how I want to picture Wilco serenading the tapatios.
(Fun fact: Guadalajara is sister city to my hometown of Denver CO because they have nearly identical elevations and are similar in population).

Excellent write up. It's like a short story with band member cameos crossed with a gig review.

Just here to underline how fantastic the new Tim version is. It's not just that it's way better, it's now one of the best rock and roll mixes I can name: clear, vital, big and energetic. To think that was hiding in there all along.

I've decided "Sunlight Ends" has a melancholic sweetness that hits me in the heart like nothing since "Wishful Thinking".

It's a bit lengthy, and I'm still reading it. I've read enough to recommend it though. I'm not posting this under the Cousin reviews thread because it covers much more than the new album.
Excellent. Thanks for sharing it, it was a pleasant read.

Glenn Kotche on the new Taylor Swift
in Just A Fan
Posted
Taylor's new Tortured Poets Department album released today features drums by our favorite drummer, Glenn Kotche on the track "Ioml". The only conceivable way this has happened is through three time Swift producer/collaborator and The National member Aaron Dressner.
His contribution to the ballad is subtle to the point of being inaudible (maybe some whispery brush work?), but a cool credit to see for our chap nonetheless.
