Message boards are an interesting culture. I wanted to post in the aforementioned thread but it was locked. AC: The piano was so rich on this new album too. JT: Thank you. When the record leaked, and this is probably what started a lot of my introspection in what we're talking about, in terms of communication and what the dialogue is. When the record leaked, I could not resist the curiosity I had to see what some people were saying on chat groups. One of the first things I read was this diatribe, just merciless, about how awful the record sounded and how there was not one real instrument

I recently adopted a camel (haven't we all?) but I don't see what that has to do with the leak (which I have obtained and listened to). I will be purchasing the album on vinyl (why not? It's like $6 more and you get a copy of the CD).

Oh my lord my favorite thread is back .... And I'm not even drunk.

I've always found the comparison to be valid. Radiohead is to Brit Pop what Wilco is to American Folk/Rock. Both bands debut albums were shining examples of their respective genres and then their constant efforts to evolve within those genres from album to album are apparent. I do not, however, find the album by album comparison to be so rigid. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot I find far more comparible to Ok Computer than Summerteeth. YHF isn't nearly as a much of a departure as Kid A. I don't find an album to juxtapose in Wilco's catalog(ue) with Kid A or Amnesiac. Wilco hasn't strayed as f

For being 19 you have a great perspective on things. My suggestion is to never give too much thought to anyone's musical opinion but your own. You can listen to others' opinions, but take them with a grain of salt. Only you can live in your own head. Sometimes I can't listen to Impossible Germany without hearing You Are My Face first. I find the album sequencing to be top notch. I will never say that I will understand the dislike of SBS since this was the album that brought me into the Wilco fold. In the past year I have gotten into every single thing Jeff has ever done, mostly becaus

I'm not really all that surprised that he's a talented musician or that people like him and his music. I really wasn't looking to insult him. I just think he's a teabag. That's all.

Lists like these always make me jump out of my skin for one reason or another. Usually for omitting certain names. This time it's the opposite. Ingrid Michaelson - Regardless if you like her or not, she's only been around for a couple of months and already she's on a list detailing Top 100 somethings in 15 years?! Okay, more than a couple of months, she put out an album in 05, but c'mon. I know you want to include more females, but let's not get carried away. Vampire Weekend - They put out their debut album in Jan 08. How could they possibly have been that influential in 6 months?

That's funny that you mention the Warehouse (and Joyride) part as one the coolest concert things going on .... from what I've seen on the Dave boards I assume most of those fans hate the WOO(s). I would agree though, being a big Dave fan and a big Wilco fan that I would not like to see Wilco's shows become anything like a DMB show. But I suppose that works both ways. But more than anything else, I would not like to see Wilco's fans become like Dave's fans. If you find yourself believing you would make better decisions for Wilco than Jeff .... than you are starting to see the sympt

I disagree, circle does not get the square.

FYI .... Fail

This thread gives me reason to get out of bed in the morning.

Best thread ever. It should win awards. I completely concur it's: AM BT ST YHF AGIB SBS If only you could all see the truth in all it's glory.

Yeah, but that's when he burned someone else, not when he got burnt himself.

I gave him a tip of my cap, I don't think he saw it.

I hear you have nice beaches.

I didn't originally see that you were kidding. And then I did. I didn't laugh. How does one gracefully react when they've been burned (well)?

Not at all. Diff'rent Strokes. Specifically, the song What Light is about artistic license. Say what you want to say, paint what you want to paint ..... don't care about what anybody thinks since it makes no difference what anybody thinks. It's like he wrote a song that was almost free from criticism because of it's theme (which I understand that it would be ridiculous, to be free from criticism). And then someone says it sucks. That's the definition of irony. P.S. I am also a "nobody is wrong" kind of person.

What an interesting thread. Not sure it's overly negative, since the replies level out the negativity. Almost every single line mentioned is one that I particularily like .... "for you I swoon" The entire lyrics to Casino Queen etc. But I found it really interesting a few weeks back when someone mentioned that the song What Light was basically lyrical blasphemy (to them). I mean, he's a songwriter's songwriter (I think), pretty highly respected (I hope), and in general most folks who dig Wilco get into Tweedy's lyrics .... So he writes a song about songwriting (or the autonomy

Forgive me for not being incredibly adept with search functions, I'm relatively new to actually posting to forums .... but I kinda like you guys and I really dig this band. I'm relatively new to Wilco, friends had been trying to get me to listen to them for years, but for some reason Sky Blue Sky really stuck with me and caused me to get into EVERYTHING they've ever done. Anyhow, I'm a bit of Ryan Adams fan since I like Cold Roses so damn much. Follow the Lights is pretty good. Most of his other stuff .... I guess I'm waiting for it to sink in. I like 29 too. I guess my question as a

You're actually gonna be parking in the neighborhood at my best recollection. I would imagine the parking lot across the street will be utilized (so yes, you could park at the school) but for some reason I don't remember being able to do that. Might fill up too quick, something like that.

Since I only have a one cup coffee maker it would be difficult to host the guys. I was actually hoping Jeff would run by so I could run along side him with whatever I happen to be carrying. But last night we got about 4 inches of snow so I'm not holding my breath. I'm actually moving across town next week, I was so glad that this is happening on my last friday night in the old place. Winking Lizard is a tad corporate, but it works and it's close. Try the $4 32 oz draft. Best deal in town.

I'll be there (not that anyone really knows who I am). Hi, my name is Chris. I live about 1/4 mile from the venue. I think it's cool as hell that I get to see one of my favorite bands at the local high school. I skimmed over the responses thusfar and my only suggestion is that the Melt will be a long wait and it takes forever to get your food. If you want a good beer selection and a decent atmosphere without the wait try the Winking Lizard Tavern. It's right on Detroit Ave straight up Bunts (140th). I suggest this since it is extremely close to the venue and probably will be whe

Though I have read them for years (yet new to VC) I've never posted on a forum for any band in my life. But that picture of the baby after the article may have been my favorite posting ever. I give kudos.
