Hey if you like his records, fuck yeah! But don't try to tell someone you don't know how to live. That's absurd, do you think that guy needs your advice Floyd Walpole misunderstodd with 127 posts, member no. 14685. If you wanna talk songs, records, riffs, hell, even if you have something to argue about some VW commercial post it, but no one here is looking for a lifestyle sermon.

They're awesome. Only complaint is a very subtle signal loss when using the effect at extremely high intensity. As far as sound quality, its just as good as the spring reverb on my Marshall JCM2000, only it has more options.

Did Jeff ever say why "The Thanks I Get" was left off "SBS"

I seem to remember him saying something about how he got it to Burke too late for the album. Not so sure though. -
Has Jeff Tweedy ever talked about Huey Lewis?

WORST THREAD EVER (add picture of simpsons comic book guy)

My girlfriend got it as a bonus disc with the vinyl. Its absurdly good. I never heard that song so huge before, I wonder how it didn't make Kicking Television.

I think the mp3 release is most likely the last we will hear of it aside from live performances. I think if they intended to put it on another LP they would have sat on it (sure Handshake Drugs resurfaced, but they were still changing it.) Here's whats curious about the SBS sessions. We have the 12 album tracks and: 13. One True Vine 14. Let's Not Get Carried Away 15. The Thanks I Get 16. (we assume Lets Fight) 17. ? 18. ? Along with hearing a studio version of Let's Fight, I would love to find out what the other tracks sound like. More blue eyed soul? More big rockin' classic rock? M

Oh, no, your English is not to blame. Just a general misunderstanding. As far as I know the CD allows you to download "The Thanks I Get" and if you have the deluxe version it comes with the DVD, which shows alternate versions of the album songs performed in the loft. If I'm forgetting another bonus maybe someone will fill us in.
-
Nine alternate songs??? No one told me about those. Are you sure? I got 'The Thanks I Get' but I think thats it.
-
I like how many times on the commentary track Tweedy mentions: a. his awful haircut. b. his big butt.
-
Jorgensen's improvisation coming into the second quiet section of YAMF is totally gorgeous.
-
Just got it. Yes, yes, yes, yes to this version.

Your English makes my German look terrible. Sounds like a fun show. Wish I could've seen Wilco in Deutschland.

Studio version of "the thanks I get" in commercial.

Tom Waits has gone to court with companies for using his material against his wishes. He said something to the effect of "A song should exist within its own world, and allow you to build your own associations around it. When a commercial forces a product association with a great song some of the magic is lost." I'll never get over the Kinks song from Village Green in the HP commercial. It dissapoints me how much it reminds me of the commercial everytime I hear what is essentially a great song. That being said I don't watch TV these days so I think the songs won't be dirtied. Likewise, i -
The way I see it is Down With Wilco has about five great songs on it. A.M. has about three good songs on it. You can't really compare the two cause they are driven by different singers. What I will compare is "Family Gardener" being better than everything on AM.

Bill Fay's voice hasn't changed much over the years. This is unexpected and great. A little loose and impromptu sounding. First time on stage in 30 years!

Getting the real album as opposed to the mp3's from the net did alot more to solidify it. Watching the DVD sent it further home. It is a beautiful, fully realized piece of rock and roll. These guys know what they're doing. There is so much subtlety. You can sit and ask yourself what each person is playing and listen to some headphones and pick all the interweaving arrangements apart. Its great. I've decided anyone who thinks Glenn isn't doing much on this album should start taking drum lessons. Fills on Hate It Here, the beat on the faster part of Side With the Seeds is incredible....
-
Man I missed Bill Fay. Do you guys think we will be able to access this out of the roadcase w/ the CD?
-
What do you see, I just see a light.

AM= D Being There= A- Summerteeth= B+ Yankee Hotel Foxtrot= A A Ghost Is Born= A+ Sky Blue Sky= A- Mermaid Avenue will be an incomplete. I know you had a lab partner that affected some of your scores.
-
As per the topic header: no. As per the drugs thing: Coltrane and Davis both did their most essential work after they quit heroin.
