Hey! I like way over yonder in the minor key

When was that parks and rec episode aired?

I agree with that. I've been a fan of the sudden album release strategy since In Rainbows. I think the old model of announcing an album and then slowly releasing singles doesn't really work as well in the Internet age. In our "on demand" and "binge Watching " culture , we tend to get much more excited when something is unexpected and complete right out of the gate.

I'm kinda surprised more bands/labels don't do this

Whose idea was it to play a recording of EKG? Would have loved to see them actually jam out for a minute and a half before More...

Not to be a pooper, but I was kind of disappointed with some of the live versions. I think its because they are new, and the band hasn't really discovered how to play them to their fullest potential live yet. When they started playing the classics, they seemed much more energized.

i can see a few of these (RNG, Satellite, and magnetized) being set staples.

Was anyone else disappointed that they walked out to a recorded version of EKG instead of opening with a live version of it? I kind of envisioned the band walking on stage and just start jamming out...instead they just walked to their instruments and waited for EKG to end.

Very loud set. Makes sense for the crowd

Watching now. Enjoying very much

where is the archive?

my account for dinedozen expired many moons ago...anyone got another link? Didn't get to see any of the broadcast

Free Roadcase show for signing up!!

Attack of the Sansone

Revenge of the Stirratt

It was confirmed that they will indeed play the entire album start/finish tonight.....oh man...

Don't think anyone else posted this yet unless I missed it, but saw this interview Jeff did with Marty Lennartz of WXRT this morning.  Revelations: He says they are doing the whole album tonight at Pitchfork!  Also, the album name "Star Wars" is either after the 80s missile defense system or the name of the cat; "that much should be obvious"

do you have a yahoo account? I know people were having issues.

Amazon and Itunes both have it available for download.

Well im happy that Alpha Mike Foxtrot exists. Even if it was forced by contract negotiations.

I'm anti-colored vinyl. From my understanding 180g can only be Black.

I prefer an album to sound more dynamic then to "look pretty"

Vinyl Pre ordered. Almost got the shirt, but I have so many wilco shirts. lol

I think it's just too similar of a guitar riff, makes it less effective to me. Light up gold is great by the way

I think they signed some marketing / rights deal for Wilco the Album, and it backfired on them. Big reason they went out on their own. If I remember correctly. It was marketed really heavy compared to the rest of their records. There was a big promotional push.

I thought I read somewhere on here that they settled the rights issues, and they can now include these songs in their downloads for future road case shows.

Only weak link on this album is king of you, mostly because it doesn't seem to stand out due to it being somewhat of a continuation of the song before it. That's probably my only complaint at the moment

yeah, this had something to do with The Roadcase releases, big reason they didn't play those songs is due to the fact that they can't release them on Roadcase without paying royalities...at least that's what I've heard.

It's not because the band realizes those songs aren't very good, as I'd originally expected (lol).

where can I hear this Pitchfork interview?
