I was referring to a set like this: http://folk-instruments.musiciansfriend.co...Case?sku=421179

Can I ask a dumb question? Is it unethical to download / listen to a leaked record?

It's true. I once worked for a butterfly. "Smurfs don't lay eggs! I won't tell you this again! Papa Smurf has a f__king beard! They're mammals!"

I would recommend getting a set with all the keys. Then you can't play a wrong note!

I hope it gets streamed before I see them on June 20 - ten days before release. I would like ot be somewhat familiar with the songs before hearing them live (I am resisting the temptation to hear the live cuts - for now).

True. I am digging "Lovesong of the Buzzard" (sweet DADGAD tune) and "The Devil Never Sleeps" (wish I could find a good tab for this).

Yep. Free download of SD alternate tracks. Solo acoustic demos (and better than the LP versions, IMHO). http://www.ironandwine.com/

Nice. But I still prefer Jeff's white JM:

To wrap, select (highlight) you entire song section you want to format then select the right hand button in the menu above (it looks like a scroll? next to the text balloon button). The beginning will have "[ code ]" and the end will have "[ /code ]" --> spaces/quotes added to make sure it doesn't get funky Hope this helps.

This is really good - and free! Thanks, Sam!

I love the Eddie Van Halen pick scrap on the strings on this one.

This is a nice way of playing it. I'll add one suggestion, though. I would make the break as follows: Em F#m F#7 Gm F#m Em F#m F#7 Bm A G D Dsus4 D

Ha. You know I had a similar feeling. At the risk of sounding really uncool, I'll admit that the last time I bought a concert ticket (for a RnR show) was Pink Floyd's Divsion Bell Tour. I remember waiting in line early in the morning outside the local record store / ticket seller. Pretty much a hassle. I bought my Wilco tickets while sitting at my desk at work. Pretty convenient.

To keep proper format, try wrapping in "code" tags

Ha. This is a good point. I really don

Tele: I have to admit I don't like the blue SG. SG's gotta be red.

Don't get this record.

I guess that solved a lot of the gear mysteries. 00-21? We were close on that one. I think the consensus was 00-18, no? BTW, a 54 J-45 is my holy grail.

I have to admit that I am a guitar nerd. Most of my anticipation for the new records is learning the new songs. It is always fun diving into a new record and learning to play it. (I remember those opening travis picked chords from "Either Way" and being so excited to learn it. Ditto PBPWM). This portion of the VC board will heat up real soon, no doubt. I, for one, look forward to it. (BTW, I have not heard any of the live recordings of the new songs - except "Wilco the Song" on Colbert" - so my first spin will be with fresh ears).

How about Sonic Youth's "Trilogy" off Daydream Nation

Ha! No, I am a dork. Always on my "to get" list (for "Teenage Riot" alone, no?) but never did, for whatever reasons. Overall, I am a little SY challenged.
