Hadn't seen this posted on here anywhere, so figured I would at least mention it...
Looks like tonight at 10 p.m. Central time — that is, 27 January — WXRT will be premiering Jeff's Live From Studio X set taped at Subterranean in Chicago on (I believe) 13 December. Here's some more info, as well as a video of a 15-minute interview with Marty Lennartz apparently taped before Jeff played. Looking forward to hearing the performance!
me either! thanks for the info.

Does anyone know why the vinyl is shipping three months after the CD is released?
I think that often happens with "sudden" releases. d'angelo vinyl shipped about three months after cd release when he decided to move his release date up last year.
I have not had enough time to listen very much yet, but i find a different interest point each time I listen which is very encouraging.

the first night's show was excellent. he sounded great.

Their first album was hit or miss for me, but then I saw them do a 3 song live radio gig at a little cafe last year and was very impressed. The fact that Aaron Dessner produced and wrote the horn and string arrangements has me very excited for the new album. I picked it up but haven't listened yet. They were pretty great on Letterman last night too.
Nice. thanks for the link. great performance. they seem outstanding live and are playing a small venue in Nashville on March 6.
the new album is excellent.

i am really enjoying the stream of this (Then Came The Morning) on npr and bought the album today. Anyone familiar with this band? a member of the national produced.
I highly recommend checking out the first listen before it goes away.

Does he still have any buzz left? Just curious.

i am excited to hear it so probably no is the answer.

St. Vincent. Actually I just got home from the show so it was last night. Absolutely incredible. And easy on the eyes.

I am also there both nights. wonder if they sell two different hatch prints like last time.

Discuss.
I like the new album and think dan auerbach did an interesting job as producer.
-
Wilco did Art of Almost on Fallon before.
condensed however i think.
-
Consequence of Sound has a free download of a soundboard recording of Jack's Bonnaroo performance. The setlist is pretty epic.
the show was also quite epic.
-
nice. what song I wonder.
-
I also liked when he remarked that his guitar keeps getting farther away from him while playing.

Guess I'm replying to my own post, but I just wanted to quickly add a few notes and quotes from last night's show:.
As a friend remarked to me afterward, Jeff was really quite funny tonight with his banter. I only have time to mention a few things now, but he had his dry wit going last night:
*After a somewhat tepid effort by the audience to the call-and-response parts in Someday Soon, particularly the swoon, Jeff cracked, "You guys aren't the Jordanaires," referring to Elvis' longtime backing vocalists.
*Noting the crowd's enthusiastic response to a particular riff in I Am Trying To Break Your Heart, Jeff went on a little jag about how he didn't really understand why people cheered that riff (and nobody cheered another one that was actually trickier to play) and how "there are probably 1,000 guitar players here tonight who are wondering why they even practice." I'm not getting that entire quote right, but that was the gist of the sarcasm.
*In finally introducing the band (and specifically, Spencer) before California Stars, Jeff told a story about how he was eating dinner with his family once and he and his wife were bickering and Spencer looked around and said, "How come I sometimes feel like I'm the only mature one at this table?" And both Jeff and Susan said, at the exact same time, "Because you are." Then Jeff said, "You want to know why? Because you had better parents than we did!" Haha.
Jeff went onto say that every parent's dream is for their kids to turn out better than they did and that he didn't know how it had happened because he and his wife were "awful people" but Spencer is really nice.
*Early on, Jeff noted what a special place the Ryman is. He said it is "the best place. I tell people in other places that they have the best place, but they're little white lies to make them feel better about their shitty places."
*Perhaps the biggest cheer of the night came during Via Chicago when Jeff's vocal mike came back near the end of the song. It had definitely dropped out of the mix at the start, causing Jeff to restart the song once. He continued to play it with basically no vocal amplification, but not being sure that the audience couldn't really hear him. Afterward he said, "I knew something wasn't right. You guys are too polite to say, 'I couldn't really hear him.'" He subsequently called it a unique rendition of the song, jokingly labeling it "the partially inaudible version."
nice summary, which is always appreciated. i agree it was a great show. Jeff sounded great and was funny. I took my 10 year old for her first Ryman show and we sat on the second row.
outstanding time. great set list and cool hatch print as well.
-
Very happy to hear Jeff's electric guitar again.
that was the best part for me.
-
3 tickets for Ryman. It will be my 10 year old's first Ryman show. should be outstanding.

i think this album is very interesting and have been listening for the last few days:

Arcade Fire in Atlanta. No tux for me.
What was the orderof the opening bands last night? I'd like to see Tune-Yards, but I don't care to see Kid Koala.
I did not make the openers but understood that Kid Koala went first.
arcade fire started about 8:55 p.m. CT. great show.
