-
i clicked at 11:00 on the dot and nothing. this is the worst ever.
-
I'm just looking for a single for every show and I'm getting nothing
yeah same actually. not sure how the pre-sale vs. sale works... are all tickets on sale now or will more become available for purchase on Friday?
-
Am I missing something with this presale? Nothing available.
some singles available but it looks like i might have to give up on finding adjacent seats...

This will be my first Wilco show as a Chicago resident (been a fan since I knew what music was)!
Question: Is it worth going to all three nights? Will they play enough different tunes?

Hey all,
This is a throwback: Just re-watched the IATTBYH film the other day, and was once again inspired by Tweedy and the band's creativity, integrity, and commitment to their vision. Shivers went down my spine watching the interview with JT where he rejects the label's request to change YHF. I'm not much of a meme person but this time for some reason--maybe b/c I'm a struggling humanities PhD student in need of inspirational quotes--I felt irresistibly compelled.
Enjoy

Saw him in Montreal a few months ago. It was awesome. RIP Jay.

Nice call out to Damien Jurado and Josh Ritter.
I also never bought into the Radiohead hype. The Bends is amazing no matter how you slice it. Everything else is sort of lost on me FWIW. I know for me it is the lacking melody. Thom Yorke whining above music tends to become tedious.
I used to feel similarly, but have since discovered melody to be one of Radiohead's greatest strengths on all of their albums. Listen to Let Down, Karma Police, Lucky, How to Disappear Completely, Idioteque. In my mind, it's the beautiful and haunting melodies that carry these songs.

Just bought my ticket. I cant wait!

Does anyone one know if we can currently buy physical tickets at L'Olympia? I'm having trouble understanding how all these sales and pre-sales work...

Ill be working at summer camp on an isolated mountain when the record comes out, so if someone could send it to haon10@yahoo.com I'd be infinitely grateful. Of course I will buy the actual thing when I can.

When Jeff sings "But I feel like this scribbling might stay" in Another Man's Done Gone
The last moments of Reservations with the almost inaudible creaks and buzzes and hums
The big blues riff at the end of Kingpin
"We can't deny even the gentlest tide" from On and On and On
"I'm so, I'm so, unsatisfied" in Unsatisfied by The Replacements. Paul Westerberg's voice is so fucking great.

come on, one is a great song

This is a user review Tweedy wrote on Itunes. I couldn't decide where to put this because it's sort of about both Wilco and U2. I love both bands and find it kind of surprising but in a way not that surprising that Tweedy loves U2 so much. Anyway, thought it would spark some discussion.
"What can I say? In all my life I have never "bonded" with an album anywhere close to the way I did with Achtung Baby. I've listened to it well over a hundred times. I grew up on it...I've gone from loving it to hating it. It's practically a member of my family. The point is, this is *my* album. Never before and never again will I have a this kind of relationship with an album. Sometimes I think the album was conceived as an elaborate, drug-infused dream. Other times I think it's an entirely personal and emotional album. Even other times, it's just a cool rock album. While this may tell you more about me and the album than the album itself, that's precisely the point. This is an album that's meant to creep its way into your life, and stay there.
Zoo Station, One, So Cruel, Ultraviolet, and most of all, Acrobat are among U2's best. Or any band's best for that matter. It's unfortunate to see such an incredible band getting such a big recent backlash in the media. The average 19-year-old indie hipster doesn't know U2 existed before "Beautiful Day." Or, more accurately, doesn't care. After all, Achtung Baby didn't make Pitchfork's top 100, so how great can it really be?"

-
They've added a few more acts (Toots & the Maytals, Rogue Wave, The Walkmen, Mike Gordon, Abigail Washburn & the Sparrow Quartet feat. Bela Fleck, Vienna Teng, Howlin' Rain, Everest, The Dynamites and Carney), but still no stage schedule. Grrr.
I love Everest!!! This is actually going to be the best festival ever.

It will be my first since moving to Chicago too! Seen them in Berkeley, SF, Montreal, and Solid Sound...but the first Chicago show feels like a confirmation of some kind. Can't overstate how excited I am and thankful for this glimmer of joy in what has been a pretty depressing couple of weeks..
