  1. I hadn't seen the blurb about the 24 track. 24 tracks on 2" tape is the standard professional analog format, so this means it probably is an analog recording. It isnt super crazy expensive to record to tape. Each tape cost about 200 bucks and will record for 15 minutes if it is at 30ips, or 30 minutes if it is at 15ips. They would have two machines hooked up in parallel, and when one tape is about to run out, they start the other one. Then you have to edit them together. They probably buy bulk tape so it is probably cheaper than that. A mobile studio is just a big moving truck with a r
  2. these probably wont be ticketmaster tickets. The are extra promoter's, record label, etc. So they werent going to go on sale they were left for industry people and friends, but they arent being used, so now they are going on the band's website.
  3. well they certainly have the capability to do live analog recording, but I bet KT was done on their protools rig.
  4. Student loans!!! Im pretty irresponsible with money when it comes to music and music stuff. I also dont buy anything else. So I basically wear the same clothes until my fiancee or my mom decide that my clothes look like crap, so they get me some new ones. Also, Ive found that since most new vinyl goes out of print, if you sell it in the whole before they announce a reprint, you make your money back or more. For instance for some reason I bought the rage against the machine live record a few years ago. I dont even really like them, but whatever. Browsing on ebay, I saw that it is going
  5. Ive sold records I bought new that I didnt like. Im about to sell a couple to fund the preorder for the wilco box
  6. I only buy vinyl. I am 23, and when I was 16 I moved to tampa, which actually has several cool record stores. I started buying a bunch of used vinyl, got hooked, then started buying a bunch of new vinyl and rebuying things I had on cd on vinyl, and now I am 100% vinyl. I find I dont really like listening to stuff on mp3 at all cause it doesnt sound as good, so my ipod is pretty much only for fresh air podcasts and bootlegs. I have a turntable in my room, my living room, at my girlfriends and at my parents place, so that is my main way of listening to music. I think vinyl is absolutely the

  8. Kicking television was not a soundboard recording. It was a multitrack parallel feed off of the board into (most likely as it is the professional standard) a pro tools HD rig. They might have even done it analog since they are so into analog, but I doubt it because that is such a pain. it is hard to argue with being able to run parallel lines into an HD rig and a mac computer and recording it at 24 bit 192k.
  9. 1) I have a much better vinyl setup than I do digital and I prefer to do all of my serious listening there. I usually only listen to boots and non vinyl stuff in my car. 2) I can almost guarantee you that this was recorded at 24 bit, 192k on protools. a cd is 16 bit 48k at best. There is significantly more information available, and from what I have heard from people with good ears, 24 bit 192k sounds as good as analog, only minus the positive degradation tape provides (warmth, distortion). If they run a 1/4 inch two track master for vinyl off of pro tools at 24 bit 192k, the warmth is
  10. mermaid avenue was made from woody guthrie manuscripts. He never recorded the songs and no one remembered how they went, so wilco and billy bragg made music to fit them. Obviously, this land is your land is well known and was recorded. The whole point of the record was to save lost songs.
  11. CCCCCCOOOOOOOOOLLLLLL!!!!!! This has a great track listing. I for one cannot wait to go into debt for this! I will be out of school soon though, so it is okay Also, the MMJ one was $35, but it had cheaper feeling vinyl. Wilco's vinyl is always done at the best pressing plants and with great packaging. If they are selling it for $17.50 including shipping per record, they arent just pocketing the extra $35 for the set. We will be getting a superior audiophile product, which some of us could care less about, but I think alot of vinyl fans are probably picky. I would be pissed if a c
  12. just found this article http://www.reinventretail.com/2009/04/independents%E2%80%99-day-how-indie-retail-has-adapted-to-changing-times/ It appears this has been in the works for a year!
  13. there is a freaking delicious italian place at the light after ruth eckerd, take a left (going west) and it is a few blocks down that road on the left. It is a little family place and I cant recall the name of it. It is really good though.
  14. Im already broke and in debt so what is $70 more! This sounds awesome and I am real excited about it. I would be really super duper extra excited if this was 40 bucks though.
  15. He is a local writer for the newspaper. To call him a moron is being nice. He basically likes top 40 stuff, but he writes about everything that comes through, 95% of the time resulting in him sounding like an idiot.
  16. you just have to learn how to put the record store assholes in their place Thankfully my record stores are mostly full of nice people.
  17. I think it really ruined that show. That is one of the worst gigs ive heard from wilco. I dont know if it was bad memories but it felt like they were distracted by the quarreling. I know I was
  18. they have been recording so im assuming it is an album tour deal. I cant remember where I saw this, but I definitely did. It was on a forum somewhere and it was one of the engineers or the producer if I remember correctly. It was the heartbreakers.
  19. you miss 100% of the shots you dont take. I say that after every joke I tell that fails.
  20. Misunderstood would be cool. I can totally hear lennon screaming NOTHING!
  21. I didnt mean it like blues isnt music. I meant that sean's stuff covers alot of ground, but he is labeled blues. He plays a little bit of everything. I think alot of people that think they dont like blues would like his stuff alot, but because he is labeled as "blues" that might turn some people off because of what that term has been stereotyped into being.
  22. ruth eckerd hall is a concert hall, and kind of bowl shaped. More of an orchestra type of place It has phenomenal sound, and even at the very back row, you have great visibility and feel as though the band is closer than they are. I really like to sit and take it all in at shows. I am not the average music fan in that I usually dont get hammered, I DO NOT talk at all during the show and I basically sit/stand in a hypnotized daze while staring at the stage trying to soak in as much as possible while I am in the presence of artists I admire greatly. I freakin love ruth eckerd hall becaus
