  1. Are Wilco big in Belgium?

     

    any Belgian fans here?

     

    I'm going to see them in Ghent may 30th. I would think that all of the European tour would be sold out by now, but there are still tickets to all concerts (except one in London).

     

    do wilco frequently play to half-full venues anywhere in the world?

     

    -Noam

  2. sorry, im new here.

    still, it's slightly different. the rules to my poll is 5 songs and no side projects, as opposed to most replies over there

     

     

    plus, we have another album to refer to now.

     

    so if people want to reply, don't hesitate

  3. and now to a more positive list

     

    your top 10 wilco studio songs (again, no billy bragg, UT, loose fur)

     

    Muzzle of Bees

    Radio Cure

    In A Future Age

    Poor Places

    Someday Soon

    I Am Trying To...

    Sky Blue Sky

    Hell is Chrome

    Pieholden Suite

    Forget the Flowers

     

    -Noam

  4. come on

     

    it's time for some name-dropping

     

    what are YOUR 5 LEAST favorite songs? (Wilco only, no Billy Bragg, UT, Loose Fur, etc...)

     

    i'll start

     

    What Light

    I Got You

    The Late Greats

    Leave Me (Like You Found Me)

    Hotel Arizona

     

    (keep in my mind i know all of Wilco's material EXCEPT A.M. which i listened to briefly and didn't care for. so I guess counting A.M. in, all 5 would be off there)

     

    -Noam

  5. hey all,

     

    i'm having trouble downloading the entire 4/6/07 Vic torrent due to a messed up connection.

     

    can anybody by any chance PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share the single FLAC/MP3 file of You Are My Face somewhere???

     

    I'm dying to hear this solo acoustic, and I think it's the only solo performance of it to date.

     

    Thanks a lot in advance.

     

    -Noam

  6. Nels Cline's parents immigrated from Germany? That's it?

    Kamera and I'm A Wheel are pre-Cline, to my knowledge. And Wilco have been focusing on playing in Germany whenever they're in Europe since 1995.

     

    So maybe. That answer doesn't satisfy me though. Maybe there is no answer and this entire thread is stupid. ;-)

     

    however

     

    I even found more things (using WilcoBase) that strengthen my point here.

     

    Wilco has played 30 gigs in Germany (That's 50% more than in the UK, and 10 times more than they played France)

     

    All 3 Swiss concerts were in Zurich, which is in the German-speaking area of the country. Most international artists also play Geneve while they're at it.

     

    One thing that opposes my point is that the band has never played Austria. Most American stuff that is big in Germany is just as big in Austria (in Vienna at least).

     

    (this thread is stupid, yet I really am quite curious of what other users might come up with)

  7. Hi,

     

    I'm new to the board, I've been a very big admirer of Wilco for about 4 years now.

     

    I wanted to give birth to a question I've been asking myself today, listening to YHF, AGIB and the new album... and I've noticed this subject was touched recently on another thread (the Kamera/Camera spelling issue)...

     

    What's up with Wilco and Gemany????>

     

    Kamera (German spelling), the 'nein/nine' lines on I'm A Wheel, and now Impossible Germany, which is really a song I don't understand (WTF is it about? I have not a clue).

    Also, the upcoming European tour is extremely German-focused. 5/9 locations of the Continental-European shows are in Germany. 5 different locations, none are two-night stands. France, Spain, Holland, Belgium only get 1 concert each.

    I know Germany is bigger than all of these, but for example, the Berlin-Dresden distance is something any avid fan would do to either direction. And there are concerts in both (!) cities.

     

    Are Wilco just really really big in Germany??? Bigger than in France or the UK?

     

    Any thoughts/info about the origin of this slight obsession, or is this all coincidential, suggesting it's my obsession ??

     

    Can't wait to see Wilco may30th in Ghent!!!
