  1. I actually like Tweedy’s vocals in the forefront and felt they had been missing on the last few before Cruel Country. It’s all subjective! I do like the production a lot and the fact that the whole band seems to be being utilized. Sadly, neither track has grabbed me much emotionally, but glad others dig it so much and fingers crossed for for the new album…
  2. The subreddit seems to be back to normal. Huzzah!
  3. I came here to ask about it, too. I knew some subreddits went private as part of the protest, but I thought most came back. How does one join a private subreddit? (Not sure what it even means.) It usually seems a good crew of fans over there.
  4. Just did a google search for Wilcoworld and Cousin and "I Feel Like I'm Kind of in Love With You" came up as a b-side/extra non album track for the Cousin album (as of 8 days ago apparently). Neat!
  5. It's WAY outside my budget (the last two times as well, but it seems to have gone up in price far beyond the inflation rate in the USA) but I'm a huge FJM and Sylvan Esso fan, so I'm happy for those who can make it. I do wonder if opening it up to a second hotel means the crowd will be much bigger? That doesn't seem awesome. But Mexico is beautiful and going there and hanging out while listening to some amazing artists, does sound a good time. Enjoy those who can make it!
  6. If it’s no longer on the Instagram it’ll likely be posted by Susie to YouTube at some point down the line. Might take a little bit.
  7. Jeff sang "I'll Fight"! That determined fan must've been super happy. And as a big fan of the song so am I. I need to go check out the Instagram feed. Thanks for all the write ups. These have been fantastic (and while I saw Friday in person, it's nice to get the recap and detailed set list.) Hopefully there will be Road Case versions of the shows.
  8. Hi all! I can no longer make it on Sunday night (thankfully also have tickets for Friday) so I wanted to see if anyone here might want to purchase a pair of tickets at face value. I'd have to meet you at Largo at 6:30 or 7pm on Sunday, which is when I think the ticket box opens, to pick up the tickets and then hand them off to you (if you get there earlier, I can meet you in line.) Let me know!
  9. Woohoo! I got tickets for two of the nights. Very excited!
  10. It seems unlikely at this late date but any rumors of Jeff doing shows this year? Be a nice holiday gift!
  11. I'm with Beltmann. Jeff mentioned in Esquire they had initially been working on an "art pop" record before shelving it (unfinished) because they got excited by the idea of making a country album. The first idea sounded a lot more fun and interesting to me, and that charity single "Tell Your Friends" they released in 2020, while not super innovative maybe, seemed to be pointing in the direction of a bigger, not stripped-down, sound. But then we got something not far afield from the Tweedy solo albums. I'm sure if I don't listen to it for a few weeks, once I get over my expectations
  12. Sounds like a really fun show. Hope they release a Roadcase recording of it!
  13. I was there on Thursday and some awesome fans got there way early, but if you come by, say, 4pm-4:30pm you should have seats in the second or third row. They hand out the seating assignments at 6pm, so a little wait if you want those seats, but it should be a nice sunny day.

    Largo

    Just a heads up that tickets for the rescheduled Largo shows are still available! https://largo-la.com/
  15. My guess (pure speculation) is that they're hoping that the Delta variant goes back down as quickly as it did in the UK (seems less likely here, sadly), and then they'll require proof of vaccination. If numbers are like they were in June by the fall and everyone attending is vaccinated, seeing a show inside might be fine? Note, that even with that big outbreak in Provincetown a few weeks back, nobody died as they were vaccinated. That spot is a lot more crowded than a Wilco show (and yes, the goal is no one getting sick from going to a show, not no one dying, but ideally neither ha
  16. Hoping those LA Shows are indeed still postponed and not cancelled, as I got lucky and got good seats!🤞
  17. Thanks @u2roolz for all the episode summaries all year. Super appreciated. And nothing but appreciation for the Tweedys this year. I spent New Years Eve of 2004 watching Jeff (at the Madison Square Garden show) so it was good to do it again. And I loved that they played those Replacement songs tonight. There's that old bootleg (from a show in San Francisco in '97) where Jeff says "Everything we do is based on the Replacements", and it was nice to hear him give a similar tribute tonight. How I would love Jeff to produce a Paul Westerberg album, so my two favo
  18. But yours is more up to date! (I missed episode 81, apparently!)
  19. Looking forward to the release! How lucky are we to be fans of an artist who is so incredibly prolific! So, from what I can tell, the new songs he's played on The Tweedy Show that are not on the album are... 1) I'd Rather Be Alone (from Episode 2 of The Tweedy Show) 2) Baby, You're So Miserable (from Episode 5 of The Tweedy Show) 3) Half-Life (which might be Half-Asleep on the new album? It's an Ode to Joy outtake played on Episode 30, and would make a great album closer.) 4) It's Been a Bad Day Lately (from Episode 40 of The Tweedy Show.) 4) Cold Water Falling (a work in progress
  20. After reading the comments, seems best to keep the playlist to myself, but I'll try to reach out to Susie, and only share it with anyone if she says it's okay (and if she doesn't respond, I'll also keep it to myself.) Thanks for your thoughtful comments!
  21. So using the helpful song list and the episode recaps, and then going to the YouTube videos posted by Susie Tweedy and earlier by Kate Vassos, and using a Youtube to MP3 convertor, I've made a mp3 playlist of all the new songs (and that one unreleased Ode To Joy outtake) played by Jeff on The Tweedy Show so far. (For the songs that have been played more than once, I took what I thought was the best version.) It's up to about 44 minutes at this point. There's lots of banter mixed in of course and varying sound quality, but I think it captures the spirit of the show and most fans would like it (
  22. I found it! (It being the awesome recorded version of "Save It For Me" that was played in the first Tweedy Show episode.) Entered "Save it" in the search function for the "A Shot in the Arm" Facebook group and then easy to find if you scroll down just a little (posted by a generous poster named Ron DeNicolo). https://www.facebook.com/groups/390889574423674/search/?query=%22save%20it%22&epa=SEARCH_BOX I've been lurking around here so thought I'd try to contribute a little!
  23. Been a bit of a lurker but lists are fun so thought I'd join in... YHF ST AGIB BT TWL SBS WTA AM SCH OTJ SW(And if the Mermaid Avenue albums could be in there, the first one would be third on my list and the second after AM.)

    Warmer

    Someone is already selling pre-orders of "Warmer" on ebay for $99. Not sure how that supports indie record stores. Sigh.
  25. He was really incredible tonight. Wow. Loved it. Really hope they do a Road Case of the show.
