i'm a big jay supporter but i like the new album. huge improvement over SBS in my opinion.

say i wanted to do a search to find this .rar link to do some research myself on this "static" catastrophe, where or what should i search? i've tried google blogs, hypem, twitter, none of them returned a link besides the stream.

they shouldn't have blown off miley - she's a nice girl.

lol what? jesus i sorta feel sorry for wilco - it's impossible to please fans when they nitpick about stupid crap like this.

I'm trying to collect some albums from the classic singers of the past - like Etta James, Diana Ross, etc. Wondering what other people's favorite singers were from those days...

ahhh yeah i like this song a lot some of those songs i really wanted to get studio recordings of... i can't recall the names anymore and i'm at work so i can't look it up, but i was holding out they'd do a demo release like the yhf demos which contained absolute gold. they have to have quite a few built up from those sessions and any they wrote for this album but didn't use.

so what happened to the song called "i will, i will" - is that song renamed or something? also what happened to the songs they had made for sbs but were never released? i wonder if they are ever going to put those out on a demo tape or try to sell them to someone

i love my sweet lord (listened to it hundreds of times) and didn't really notice any similarities to "you never know" when i was listening to the new album the first few times. just re-listened to both and don't really see what people are complaining about - maybe the chorus part with the piano is somewhat similar but the rest of the song is completely different. that little slide guitar riff sounds similar to harrison's song but that isn't enough to consider plagiarism. in any case i'd say any similarities are completely unintentional - wilco is not green day (kings of plagiarizing without

who are these people on other boards saying this new album is boring... if wilco (the album) is boring then sbs must have been hella boring to them. i think the new album is much better paced than the predecessor. i'm starting to like it a lot - wish i had some quality mp3s to listen to though. Nirvana... is the only one i can think of off the top of my head

i think the album is pretty good - only listened to it twice. sonny feeling - great song. i'll fight - great song. one wing - great song. feist duet - great song. definitely a step up from sbs - and i don't hear out of place guitar solos really anywhere in this album, so that's a relief. some songs though are kinda iffy... but i'm willing to give it plenty of time. kudos for wilco for once again leaking their own album for free. they are the only band that does that - radiohead might get all the attention and credit for in rainbows, but wilco has been streaming their albums in thei

no that statement is complete truth, it comes from an interview jeff did. he admitted they kept the arrangement sparse with minimal chord changes because of jeff's health condition. it was the last song they recorded on agib. look at the song now - all those multi-layered guitar solos throughout it - much more lively with nels in the band and jeff at full health. http://migraine.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/03/05/shaking-it-off/ "“Spiders (Kidsmoke)” is another. I think we performed that song once or twice – we knew it was going to be on the record but it was one that was looming as a real ch

I think he was a huge part. Wilco would not be as popular as they are now if it wasn't for him. Summerteeth and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot would not have been as great of albums if it wasn't for Jay Bennett pushing Wilco's sound in the direction he did. Tweedy was far from a one man show in the band when it came to arranging the songs. If you watch the movie, it is obvious that Jay had a lot of influence over Wilco's sound just because of his ability as a multi-instrumentalist to completely take apart and reconstruct songs with different instruments and different arrangements. I like to believe

there really needs to be another mermaid avenue album i like the track - it's old school wilco.

i don't think nels solos are killer, that's just how rolling stone put it. this is of course the same rolling stone that consistently gives nickelback albums 4 stars. i'm not sure how much they can be trusted. but anyway hendrix did killer solos, stevie ray vaughan did killer solos, jimmy page did killer solos, nels not so much. he's a jazz guitarist - not a rock guitarist. i think all his solos sound the exact same. but that's just my opinion. you take issue with my grammar? :blankstare:

heh maybe. but i think they'll at least make a more upbeat album this time...

wilco should have emotional guitar work... what jay bennett used to bring to the picture. nels cline is nothing more than someone who does what he is told but brings no originality to the band - he has amazing guitar skill, yes that is obvious, but is it necessary to display it in every song? no, and we all know from listening to wilco live that just about every song these days turns into a nels cline guitar solo extravaganza. i much prefer it when jeff handles the solos because again his guitar work evokes a lot of emotion. that's why at least that's what you said is one of my favorite wi

the only one i'm certain of is sky blue sky is last.

"the nearly-six-minute jam

i've listened once through the new album, i liked what i heard. doesn't seem as worldly as his past few albums but still I think its a decent pick up. it's all good struck me as classic dylan (even with his messed up voice now).

i think the lineup is god awful - one of the worst ever... pearl jam is good but then you go to beastie boys, dave matthews band, kings of leon, ben harper, etc. jesus terrible for $185. hopefully pearl jam will do their own solo concert friday or saturday and i can see them then. how is ghostland observatory a main draw? sonic youth is well past their prime (as well is pearl jam, but pearl jam can still put on a decent show). toadies are horrible live, one of the worst. john legend - i like him but wouldn't expect much from a live performance out in the blistering heat. arctic mo

maybe so, but my guess is that it'll just become too expensive to bother with it. i don't know why you are against the digital medium, but I have fully embraced it. it is absolutely wonderful to just go to amazon and download a newly released album at midnight and listen to it on the way to work. in the past you had to wait until stores opened, get in line to check out - it was always a huge hassle. i'm very happy those days are long gone. the future is going to be digital distribution for movies, video games, and music. it's simply inevitable - it's too convenient not to be the case -

i am serious - the music is the important part. artists are spending time and money on artwork now - but give it another 10 years and all songs will be purchased digitally. they won't be making cds anymore and artists won't be spending so much time worrying about a cover.

why does anyone care about the album cover? you buy cds for the music - who cares what is on the cover?

that's like saying a 10 is better than a 9.9
