    Setlist Request Form

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    I just got the email from WilcoBase about that new form where you can request songs for them to play. I was surprised by my reaction to this; though I've been begging for something like this ever since I've been attending shows, I feel like that might take away the surprise of hearing, say, PKB. Oh well, I'm sure they'll hardly rely on this for setlists.

     

    What are your thoughts?

    Does anyone else have a copy of the vinyl that skips?

     

     

    I have noticed one minor skip at the end of Impossible Germany...it's driving me nuts!

     

     

    I'm currently investigating the rest of the record....(and loving it)

    An Email I got

    Yeah so I recieved the following email earlier today from my friendly neighborhood record store

     

     

     

    " Attention Wilco fans! The new Wilco CD "SKY BLUE SKY" is out on 5/15. Pre-order your copy now and also secure your copy of a VERY LIMITED free EP containing 2 unreleased Wilco songs. The regular CD is $13.99, the deluxe package is $21.99 and the double gatefold LP (w/ cd included) is $24.99. Don't wait, these special EP's will go fast! "

     

     

    I already preordered the deluxe from music today!! Will I get these 2 unreleased tracks?!

     

    All things considered, I already have purchased (1) the CD (2) the LP (3) the cd that comes inside the LP.

     

     

    I don't know if I can afford another preorder!

     

    Anybody know what these two songs are and if they will be included somehow?!

    Wilco is under fire! We have until midnight tonight to vote for Wilco on the "Band Madness" bracket.

     

     

    For those uninitiated, it's just like the final four/NCAA nonsense, except way more fun and with lots more competition.

     

     

     

    Wilco is up against CCR (in the "Green" portion of the bracket)

    After listening to the lyrics more closely, I couldn't agree with you more.

     

     

     

    I think that's a really interesting interpretation, but I (regretfully) present contrary evidence:

     

    Tweedy played this song (then titled "A Gold-Toothed Lullaby for Rafters and Beams" -- with same lyrics) at the NCMA show in Raleigh 8/16/06 and said he wrote it for a friend's film back in 2003 and hadn't played it since then.

    Conversion Rates

    I was just poking around the Wilco site and decided to convert the $82.50 Australian ticket fee into American dollars

     

     

    82.50 AUD = 65.6387 USD

     

     

    I mean, I'd sure as hell pay that, but doesn't that seem a bit much?

    Am I wrong here? Are there just lots of costs incurred for flying Wilco & gear to the land down under?

    3 songs off Sky Blue Sky available to listen to

    So far the 3 songs have a cool feel and after repeated listens I'm picking up a '73 era Stones or Faces vibe.

     

     

    I haven't listened yet, but it's interesting you heard the Faces in the new stuff. "Ooh La La" played right before Jeff came out at the Charlottesville show this past January.

     

     

     

    If anyone on this board actually has the new record, I implore you to do the wrong thing and leak it.

    i thought my explanation of the super-power-user was pretty good too.

     

     

    That's what sold me. I know about like power+, I guess, but I figured "super-power" was just a colloquialism or something.
