    Black Moon noise?

    it may just be amplifier buzz nels plays guitars with single coil pickups, which tend to pick up interference quite easily (as well as generating an audible hum on their own) also, there's a wurlitzer in the track, and those are known to crackle and pop and hiss quite often
  2. please scan it in!!! i haven't been able to find it in a single store.....

    New album news!

    wait, did john actually say the album is gonna be self-titled??
  4. I think it's a fine song, it just kills summerteeth imo, along with my darling
  5. nah, the leads on AGIB are all SG through a tiny amp driven to its limit.
  6. He does play martins...he plays that D20-12, the 0-18, also seen with a 00-18 pre-war sunburst (in shows and on the sunken treasure dvd), and what seems to be a 00-18 that's natural top (what he rehearses backstage with during I am trying to break your heart..); the martin on the cover of guitar world acoustic is actually nels' martin 00-17 that he's talked about in interviews. He hasn't really been using his gibsons lately!! (and he's only used the J45 and, rarely, a hummingbird, live). AND, the santa cruz's and the new breedlove are really modeled after pre-war martins. So, actually, it seem
  7. Hey guys, i'm kinda lazy to download the whole show, as all i want to hear is You are my face. Could someone please post an mp3? Thanks a bunch.
  8. Yeah they thought it sounded like cheesy arena rock U2. I don't hear it at all...
  9. www.myspace.com/gearsmusic please let us know what you think
  10. ummm...the either way solo? that just goes akhslkdjgfaksghpaks;dfkasjhlblurpblurp is definitely nels. It's great that a lot of people love these, and maybe my opinion will change may 15th, but i'm just not feelin these new songs
  11. I honestly just cannot connect with these songs it seems like wilco lost their depth i don't think they're bad, but when i listen to you are my face, i think, "this is pretty good." When I put on muzzle of bees, panthers, or i am trying to break your heart, i think "wow, now this is beautiful." These new songs are just pleasant songs, to me. And god, that damn organ, and the intermittent farting nels solos make me cringe. And i do agree with all the criticisms of walken. The one thing i absolutely adore about the new songs is how the instruments sound, and the warm and "in your ear" production

    First Listen

    hey guys i'm sorry to sound dumb, but how do i get an invite to this oink place? and can anyone hook me up? thank you so much
  13. Nah, I don't think so. The only time I've ever seen him anywhere with a 12 string, it's been the martin (pictured above), and I've never even seen a picture of the obscure Stella (aka Kay, aka Silvertone).
  14. i know for a fact that jeff uses d'addario phosphor bronze mediums (13's) on all his guitars, except the 0 and 00 martins. But then again, the J45 he uses is a very dark and warm-sounding guitar because of its body shape and the mahogany back, so it also depends not only on how expensive your guitar is, but what its shape and tonewoods are.
  15. The song i see that problem the most in is Poor Places. Not only do they play it a hell of a lot faster on KTV, they also speed up throughout the song, and jeff is practically out of breath when he sings 'someone ties a bow.."
  16. I was almost tackled by a gargantuan security guard when i tossed my band's cd to jeff tweedy (who approvingly smiled). They surely overdid it with the jumpers (though i was thankful for the fact that they were there when those who loudly disapproved of Gustafer Yellowgold were thrown out).
