lost highway

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.

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.

Does someone know where this guys dad lives. Just cause, well.....my Dad's gonna kick his Dad's ass.

I GOT IT!!!!!! I Love music today, and I will never use their services again.

This is the best time I've ever heard them rock Side With the Seeds yet. "Man oh man oh man....we are lucky S.O.B.'s"

Someone explain to me what Mikael Jorgensen says and how he sounds. He's like the new Leroy, silent supporter, man of many skills and zero glamor.

I don't know why I preordered. I had to pay shipping and then stare as my girlfriend bought the 2xLP (which is 180 gram and sounds amazing!) before mine has even arrived and the LP's were right under a rack FULL OF DVD SPECIAL EDITION COPIES! Man I'm going old school when they put out the tentatively titled Brass Hinges in August 08, I am gonna walk up to the record store and say gimmee, pay 18 dollars and then set the slip case aside. UGH.

Who are you attempting to convince here? Yourself, or the people on the board? You might have a very carefully made, and legitimate opinion, you don't have to like the new album. But a good argument in a lit. class or on a music board has evidence. I wouldn't compare YHF to SBS because they're apples and oranges. I also wouldn't reactivate my account just to make simple minded knocks on an album a lot of people happen to be enjoying at this moment. But hey you've already inspired me to use my personal time to reply to you, so I guess thats the internet

Alright Ninjas you're a good mediator. I think my complaint is that there are already a thousand arguments against SBS up here, and they are actual arguments with reasoning and site actual songs or lyrics. Not only that but a one dimensional gripe as a first and second post. It's just rough when a newby has to shit in the punch bowl. Once again I fall back on David Fricke's take on music "If you don't get it.....well that's just kinda too bad."

Maybe his album is okay (not Ram or Plastic Ono Band) but I don't know if he's doing okay.

Dude your first post is a complaint. And your second one is a childish joke on their album that came out yesterday. Why are you here? to bitch? I mean I know these things are a little ridiculous but I get on this thing to talk with people about the band, not to hear some whiners construct banal arguments about how awful the band has gotten.
