Oh who cares what Pitchfork thinks. Half of the records on their best new music section sound like they were recorded on a my first Sony. They have become nothing more then an aging website obsessed with trying to sound relevant to the younger generation. They much more concerned with the scene that an album is geared too then the music itself. Is calling something Dad rock an insult if you are old enough to be a dad? Do Pitchfork writers not age, or do they kicked out the door the minute they grow pubic hair? Sky Blue Sky (5.0?) and Ghost is Born (6.0?) are still some of the best records of t

Seriously, there are only two bands that I will blind buy these days. Wilco and Radiohead. Still, it is so wrong to want to hear the album as soon as possible? There is a good chance I will still buy the LP/CD/Tote bag even if I dislike the album LOL.

so if promos are going out we should see a leak any day now..

So...it seems like a slightly more experimental Sky BLue Sky? Excellent sign me up...!!

great expectations only lead to bigger disappointments my friend. Im sure the album will be good, but don't expect it to heal your wounds.

I think Jeff should leak the new album to get everyone talking about the new music instead of the lawsuit.

"I dreamed about suing Jeff again last night..." "and it felt alright to me" No Money in The Bank for my hip replacement and My Dreadlocks smell like pee I realize that this is all a media display but I need to get paid. I'll sue the band for very little and hope that we settle I need some money I need some money Via Cook Courtroom

I dont' think so. Calling him a pretentious asshole, and then mentioning that the ONLY reason YHF is good was becasue of Bennett, and that he is the reason Summerteeth is their best record..doesn't come off as kind in my eyes.

your first post!!! and it's an old one at that

lots of Tweedy hate going on in the Gawker Article comments. http://gawker.com/5240965/wilcos-jeff-twee...former-bandmate I had no idea that Bennett was the reason Wilco were ever good. Its not like the two follow-up albums were good or anything.....

I am so excited!!!!!!!!!

Jeff's response is on Paste. "I know exactly as much as everyone else does. I've read the news and I honestly have no idea what these claims are based on. It was such a long time ago. Aside from everything else, I'm being sued for not paying someone for appearing in a movie I didn't produce. Go figure. I am truly sad it has come to this. I am equally convinced, however, that I have done nothing wrong and that this will be handled fairly and swiftly."

OK, now I know you are a lunatic. Thanks for proving it once again. My opinions and speculation are based on pretty simple business contract law. If you are making a work that will be bringing in money then you usually sign some sort of contract. Jeff does not pay the band, his management company arranges that. I don't see how anything I said was irrelevant to the lawsuit or the discussion when it's directly related to the speculation on both the lawsuit and the discussion. Get off the high horse. Im not one of the posters making fun of Jay's hair or hip replacement. I will re state my opi

I was just spouting opinion, just like the rest of you. No reason to attack my opinion and call it "irrelevant" If that were the case then the entire thread should be closed with the heading.."No Speculation Allowed" I don't think any of us know what EXACTLY happened, so arguing over someone's thoughts on it seems "irrelevant"

Thanks for attacking every sentence of my post. It doesn't make you look like a lunatic or anything.

$50,000? Wilco probably makes that within a show or two. I can't imagine this is really going to hurt the band financially. If anything it will just further burn the bridge between Jay and the band. Still I don't see how any of this is Jeff's fault. I am positive he didn't personally write the contract on the DVD sales. Im also pretty positive that Jay would have had to sign off somewhere to appear in the film. Maybe he thinks the new Blu-Ray release entitles him to a new deal? Jeff's name shouldn't even be on the suit. I doubt Jeff is stealing Jay's checks and stuffing them under his mattress

Well its not like Wilco wrote this. A lot of Guthries songs were simple folk fables, they aren't meant to overwhlem you musically. They are meant to repeat a message, and in this case I believe it succeeds.

Not without Billy Bragg...

is it good, im at work and cant hear it.

Ive read a lot of mixed reviews of Phoenix. The Reader recommended another place, that seems to be a little less traditional (no carts) but has better service/food. Although Phoenix was the "readers choice" I do definitely want Dim Sum though, as the last(first) time I had it was visiting in New York, and it was one of the most memorable things we experienced. Any other suggestions? Is there a Wilco tour like Athens has a REM tour? Just curious. PS - sorry this is in the wrong forum..

I ordered mine two days before it shipped. Mine came on Thursday before the "record store day" release.

WOW

Hi, going to visit Chicago April 23-27th. Got a few things planned already. Going to visit the Art Institute, Contemp. Art, Hancock Tower, China Town Wanted to know of some good friendly bars. Will probably want to hit a few blues bars, and jazz clubs as well. Any suggestions on places to eat, drink, or see live muisc. Also going to see M.Ward at the Vic Theatre (didn't Tweedy play a bunch of solo gigs here?) on Sunday. Really looking forward to it, never been to Chicago BONUS: I unkowningly booked a hotel (The Amalfi on West Kinzie) that overlooks the Marina Buildings AKA Yankee

it sounds alright, but the actual performances seem to missing something to me. After seeing them live I was extremely disappointed that KT didn't remind me of any of their live performances. There is almost no excitement.

The Kicking Television CD sounded impersonal and nervous. Ive seen Wilco live multiple times, and their shows are nothing like that. It's almost like Jeff knew the show was going to be used for the album, and tires too hard to make the band sound perfect. It results in a soulless group of songs. It my least favorite thing the band has ever done. I can see why they decided NOT to release it on DVD.
