Funny story about the first time I listened to unlikely japan. I forget to flip the speed button on my turntable up to 45, so it played at 33 1/3 for my first time hearing it. The beginning guitar comes in really low and nasty sounding, then this really cool keyboard part appeared. "this is interesting, very dark and melodramatic and slow. I like this a lot!" Then tweedy starts to sing, but he sounds rediculously low and I realized my mistake. Everyone should listen to this at 33 1/3 though, it is really cool that way too.

jay is on there rocking away that was great. I miss that show, they should do reruns at the very least.

Im just going to through this out there, but I am assuming since you all are wilco fans (well....most of us on here ) you have good tastes in music. I guarantee if you bought a record player, you wouldnt regret it. You can get an audio technica one for under 100 that works great. It is a cool hobby, you can enjoy the liner notes better, and it is truly one of my most loved passions. I think if I had to live without vinyl it would be like living life without the color blue! Anyways, I think this single is really cool. Ive enjoyed it alot, and I wish they would do more of them. Wilco

This has nothing to do with a junkie rock star. It is all about a man with a serious, debilitating condition that caused extreme pain being forced to take a powerful and dangerous drug to control that pain. They have had issues before with these patches leaking too much medicine and killing the wearer, and also I believe if you leave one on for too long it can also kill you. Fentanyl is very strong stuff, mostly given to cancer patients. Its just really sad to me that he couldnt have had this fixed a long time ago. You'll be missed jay.

I believe the release was delayed because there was too much wilco coming out at once. The cd, if it is like sbs or how other bands have been doing it will be in a slip jacket either with a front and back cover, or just paper. The vinyl will come with all of the art in the gatefold and on the liner page with the lp. I think this would be way better than the cd's liner notes, because you can actually read them and enjoy them better. If you are indifferent, buy the vinyl just to boost vinyl sales so they make even more records available on lp. Also, does anyone else hope that they

max, I saw you guys in jacksonville with the band. I thought it really added alot to the band and I hope you guys can stick with them. How did you start playing with wilco?

Born again in the usa is one of my favorite records from anybody, so I would love to hear more loose fur. I hope they continue to collaborate, especially since they are really just a recording project it seems like there arent alot of reasons not to.

I wish they would book a date for florida soon. I dont know why more people dont come here. We are a large state, that a lot of people live in, and it is a long drive to even get out of the state. I am in school and running up credit card debt already, so I cant afford more than a few hours drive and I cannot afford a hotel room and all of that (I live in tampa, Jacksonville and miami are pretty much my limits.). For the last time I saw them in august 2008, a friend and I made some sandwiches in a cooler and crashed with another friend in jacksonville. They have made it to florida for eve

I seriously doubt the meaning of that song is in any way literal. I think it means different things to him, and the song is filled full of images that all have different meanings. There is a theme to it, but not a meaning as you would typically define the word meaning.

RIP Jay. Remember musicians dont really die though. Everytime someone discovers the masterpieces that are yankee hotel foxtrot and summerteeth, jay bennett will be alive. It just sucks that he couldnt make it through this rough patch hes been in.

I would highly recommend blueridge guitars. A friend of mine bought one because he was going on tour and didnt want to bring his old expensive handmade guitar (dont know the builder, but it is from the early 70s). His blueridge is a great guitar, and I have since played a few more of them that were equally impressive. He paid 500 for his, and they have some cheaper than that as well.

I have an audio technica turntable that I bought at best buy 5 years ago for 80 bucks. It has a built in preamp, and I plug it into the line in on my stereo. It isnt great, but it does its job good enough for me for now. when I get a real job though...

43 minutes is perfectly fine for a single lp. It is when you get around 45 that the inner groove distortion becomes a problem. This will sound great on a single disc.

they made a new one! I see around 15 vinyl copies of "down with wilco"! they arent even opened also dante is represented. They have the kingpin. a book called "hatred of capitalism" The ampeg b-15 had its power transformer replaced.

That is the exact sound a cell phone makes when it is picked up by guitar pickups. I have to leave my cell phone in my gig bag for this very reason. It usually goes on for awhile and gets louder though, so I dont know whats going on. good catch!

I buy everything on vinyl. I don't remember the last time I downloaded or bought a cd. I think best buy selling them will bring them to a larger audience, and will get more people hooked. I think it will also make more labels willing to press albums on vinyl because now most markets have a place to sell them. It could be bad for indie stores, but I wont be shopping any less at my local ones, but maybe instead of ordering online I would take a look at best buy first.

The sideway vibrola is the one that should be on the 61-63 style sgs, but they are awkward and dont really work. You move the bar back and forth on those, instead of up and down. The SG reissue that gibson makes is really closer to the 63/64 sgs. Ive always wondered why they didnt just call them that, but whatever. They are really cool guitars, I bet yours is great!

I just wanted to state in writing, that this shall forever be known as The Camel Album. I for one cannot wait for the camel album. It is going to be amazing, and will look awesome hanging on my wall to boot. I hope they include a massive poster of the camel in the vinyl versions! It could say: "Tzvi loves you" above the camel and then just have him standing there hanging out.

I now know what we are going to refer to this album as. The Camel album. and I love it for that!!!

1st) Vinyl is actually cheaper, but only in medium and up quantities (like 10,000+ pressings). Think about it. To make a record, they play the master tape into a cutting lathe, which makes a master laquer. The make a molding of the master laquer. that mold wears out after every thousand or so pressings. the master laquer is fine, but you have to recover the costs of that process. Regular bulk vinyl is cheaper than the metal used in cds, so once you are able to cover the costs of the mold and the extensive cutting process, it is less. 2nd) Why do they release so many albums as double v

I think tweedy probably has nightmares about this very scenario. When I met him, I got the feeling he was not very comfortable with random people/ lots of random people. We had a little quick conversation, and he was super nice, but I was getting the vibe the he was a little freaked out by the 20-30 people crowded around. I think if he was stuck on a boat, in the ocean, with 2,000 of us, that would be the definition of a nightmare for him. But if he is cool with it, a wilco cruise would be a dream come true for me!

I think it will be an awesome record if that song was on there. I think that riff and the melody are so cool! When I heard it, I really hoped it wasn't something they thought was throw away, because I sure don't.

you just have to chill out. you have to be ready to catch a song, but dont force them. I bought a zoom h2 pocket recorder, and I carry it everywhere. Usually for me, driving is my inspiration. I will be driving along, with the radio off just sitting in silence, and suddenly I will start singing a song. I pull out the recorder, and record as many ideas as I can, until the whole thing kind of dies off. then later, I listen to my recordings and try to work out some songs. You cant be afraid to go a long time without writing. Maybe you should get another hobby. I know that Neil Young is

He doesnt mean hate as in "I hate that". As a writer, songs are a document of where you are at in your life at that time. He has moved on from all of that stuff, and when he hears stuff from "Being There" today, that guy doesnt exist anymore, so he can't listen to them. It kinda like watching a home video of yourself and saying "My hair looked stupid. I sound like an idiot. Im so glad Im not like that anymore."
