Cool deal, I missed that somehow last year...good to know its still in the pipeline.

I agree. I'm still waiting on the third Loose Fur record, that back in '13 or '14, was apparently recorded the last time Wilco toured Japan.

I saw this on Steve Hoffman's forum...looks like the Japanese version will have a bonus track... https://wmg.jp/wilco/discography/21514/

Is the bonus track an acoustic solo track or does it have the full band arrangement? I saw a video from the Vic and I really liked the song...the bridge part sorta reminded me of Muzzle of Bees...

I'm really digging "Empty Head" and "...and then you cut it in half"

I am looking forward to the studio version of Sick Servant though...I saw a video of it from the Vic and I really liked it.

The full band version of "How Hard is It for a Desert to Die" was great. Those two young pups on volume pedal guitars were really great. You could tell Jeff was really getting into it towards the end of the song when those guys were dueling it out. Then after that song he mentioned that he was glad they played the show.

No it doesn't...I actually went out and bought the physical cd and it's the full versions...

I'm really digging "Some Birds"...love the lyrics and the phrasing... "I'd love to take you down and leave you there" and "I break bricks with my heart but only a fool would call it art..." Tweedy continues to never cease to amaze me.

you're right it is only on The Wilco Book...He plays it towards the beginning when he's explaining about being a service for the audience, right before Satan Your Kingdom Must Come Down...great version but like I said, he talks all through it.

I am enjoying the album for what it is...If this is an ongoing thing with future volumes, I sure hope he does a version of "Diamond Claw"...I love that version on Sunken Treasure too bad he yaps throughout it just before "Satan Your Kingdom Must Come Down"

Me too...on my first few listens, I was liking side one a little better, but side two is starting to stand out the more times I hear it.

it's between the green and the light pink for me as the best one...who got that light pink one?

It should work now...my card worked this afternoon finally...

I just finished my first listen to it on vinyl...It's for sure different of any Wilco record so far...I really like it. To me it sounds like if the first Loose Fur album and the Tweedy album/project had a baby with Star Wars as the rowdy stepbrother...on the 2nd side of the lp, some of the songs had a "Crack a Smile" (a Jandek song Jeff and Spencer covered a few years ago on a tribute album) sorta vibe, which I love...its a grower thats for sure as further listens will unpeel layers and the strange melodies get stuck in your head...GREAT ALBUM possibly their best one imo.

sounds cool thanks

yeah the Loft exhibition is what i was talking about…can anyone describe what you heard?

yeah it was a b side to Thanks i get or something with the exception of Unlikely Japan One True Vine maybe one from TWL the b sides have been meh since AGIB days…did anyone hear the unreleased stuff they featured at Solid Sound? I thought I heard it was either like The Wilco Book stuff or something…maybe the band's next hiatus they'll put out some of the stuff we haven't heard...

is this version in the roadcase? I can't find it…i'd sure like to hear how he tackles this one (he didnt play it at Nashville)

"(2) He's now performed both "Pigeons" & "Please Don't Let Me Be So Understood", leaving only "I'll Sing It" & "I'll Never Know" as the only two album tracks not yet performed live...he's even doing "Why Why Why" from the forthcoming soundtrack mentioned above- meaning he's done 19 of the 23 songs from these sessions live." Has he played "Where My Love" live yet?

I had to special order it through my local independent record store (sad I know) so my copy wont get here until Thursday…what's the back of the lp look like?

I'm really digging "Where My Love" right now…reminds me of Golden Smog…its got a similar feel to "All the Same to Me" which is a personal favorite of mine

yeah I can vouch for the people in the back rows getting up a lot…I was seated back there and it was mainly a group of early 20s folks that seemed restless idk…plus one drunk guy kept hollering out "get naked!" No idea what that was all about…

It was also funny when someone yelled "go" before Slow Love in which Jeff responded with "Do you have some place else to go, gotta go home?" or something like that then he said how his father was always in a hurry to get somewhere so they could get back…also when the people in the front row stepped out before a song was amusing as well…yeah the banter was good last night for sure...

I've decided to go with the vinyl as well...i'm on a budget so i hope I can purchase the bonus tracks individually on itunes or maybe i can find them on the internet to download or something...having the same dilemma with the new Tom Waits album coming out next month...not digging the cd only exclusives...in the past year i've become a vinyl enthusiast so this is sorta pissing me off.
