Yessss. This is where its at. A 6 piece that can be a Technicolor orchestra.

Oh yeah, was it double time finger picky solo style version, or og slow jam?

The fact that the review doesn't mention "Evicted" makes me think my predictions were accurate. They wanted to front with one of the most accessible songs and keep their curve balls secret.

Not at all.

While I never want to be the cult member who flames everyone who critiques the newest stuff, I find there's a hot take/edge lord contingent that's even more obnoxious. Tatlock, I don't find your feelings on the discography to be obnoxious at all. I think the biggest difference is nuance and if someone is trying to be flippant and explain to the diehards how wrong they are. The reverse side is feeling super protective of a favorite band to the point that any negative criticism feels like an attack on you. I can see where people take the say nothing approach the way you

This bodes well.

I found it on Spotify at 11pm mountain time. Listened and enjoyed again. Then I wondered, did Cate le Bon produce this song?

Okay, round two: If you ever (I did) wondered how it would have turned out if Jeff had the Wilcos around to add just a pinch of fuss to his unfussy, peppier solo tunes (thinking 'Some Birds', 'I Know What It's Like') here it is. Much like with 'Tired of Taking It Out on You' I can hear how they've grown to add texture and flourish to do breezy stronger than when the members backed up 'You and I' (a fine tune none the less). One can't help but think the first single is usually the most accessible. I think thornier sounds are ahead, but this is a nice little tune. The lit

I caught the second half and want another chance. I can state firmly that it does not suck.

Omg, omg! This album is coming even sooner than I'd hoped.

See, you joke, but I immediately read that in Nick Offerman's voice.

I take this as confirmation that the album is done. At this point we're just waiting for whatever manufacturing and marketing route they've chosen (wait for vinyl, or drop it digital with vinyl preorders). The real question is if Nick is quietly a forum member and if he's prepared to share some of his impressions of the album with us!

That would be an oddly specific and Wilco relevant collaboration to mistakenly invent. There's likely some truth to it, but I'd only be wary of the specific role, i.e. 'Album produced by x', vs 'Tracks 2, 4, and 7 produced by x', or even 'Track 3 co-produced by x, additional vocals and guitar by x'.

Oh, don't be a tease!

I feel like we just got in trouble for peeking at the Christmas presents when mom and dad weren't home. Sorry, Wilco. We'll wait for the holiday!

"Soldier Child" is riveting solo and you can hear all of the spaces for the other 5 to fill. It's going to be amazing.

2023, guys! I was trying to wait until 2024.

Wai- wai- what? How? Where? What was it like? So many questions!

Jeff mentioned putting songs in two stacks when things started taking off with the boys in the loft. The country stuff seemed to be coming faster and the spirit of the moment so they left a stack of "weird" songs that were coming along to be the next thing. It sounds like the goal is something more challenging and artsy. I'm down.

Long time listener, rare commenter here- keep em coming!

New single, "Eucalyptus" from The National features literal lyrics, a speak-sing chorus and a traditional guitar solo. I don't know what to make of it yet but it feels very different for them.

I think when you've released 12 albums and plan on no repeats the stats are going to be too weird to judge other than " here's some songs we thought would be fun tonight". There was only 1 song from YHF which is a total anomaly.

Yeah, but whud they play last nite?

Rodney's got some real Roy Orbison on Traveling Wilburys vibes going on this one. Very nice.

I like the Wilco- Pearl Jam/REM comparisons because they both have latter day catalog entries that are criminally underrated. But I would argue both of those bands have runs of albums where they lost the plot and Wilco never has.
