Shakespeare In The Alley

No, they'll all be the same tickets. The presale just gives you an extra chance at getting them, since all GA shows typically sell out much faster.

Most any venue that isn't a club has 11/11:30 curfews these days. It sucks, but there's not much you can do about it.

Well I personally like Letterman a lot, and I'd love to catch a taping of one of these comedy talk shows some day, so I'd definitely stay.

But they don't give a context. Lost love doesn't have to mean relationship love. One Sunday Morning totally fits.

What makes you so sure? Not to be cynical but I don't see what it would be other than drug rehab.

But I hope he pulls through whatever it is and gets some more music out there. Talented dude for sure.

There's plenty of lost love in that song.

They'll give it a 4/5, like 95% of what they review.

That being said, AMG reviews (reviews, not scores) are generally spot on as far as I'm concerned.

Wilco book has some instrumentals.

And I don't hear any difference in the Black Moons either, but I was writing when I listened to the alternate, so I wasn't paying much attention.

The deluxe edition (with bonus tracks) is now out there.

Capitol City > Walken

Yup. By several miles. Don't really hear the similarity myself.

 

I should have been more clear as to what I was referencing. The point is that this isnt YHF, it The Whole Love,and holding one album to the standard of another isn't right. If they wanted to remake YHF I believe they could. The line "The Whole Love isn't a Yankee Hotel Foxtrot freakout or mad gasp of creative freedom" completely misses the point of the album. It wasn't intended to be a YHF freakout. It is what it is. If critics, or fans for that matter, want to hold an artist or artists to their ideal past work it isn't a review, it is a comparative analysis. That is the point I believed the reviewer missed.

Totally disagree here. I think the most logical comparison for a new Wilco album is past Wilco albums. That doesn't mean holding it to those past albums' standards, or that the comparisons will even have enough merit to begin with, but why wouldn't you compare TWL to what's come before it? Makes more sense than comparing it to non-Wilco material.

My new favorite.

Love that dude's artwork too. It's disgusting in all the right ways.

He is also selling live cds of each show.

The Who have done that for years now. And I think it's an amazing idea.

Not a bad setlist at all. Wouldn't mind seeing him, but there's no show near me.

I dunno, I just don't find it feasible to call yourself a "true fan" if you absolutely loathe a whole album by a band or artist.

Oh boy

I wound up with the tote. It was hard to have everything I wanted without a bunch of crap, so I opted for the crap. And SITA - the vinyl-CD does in fact come with a "very special case," or an equally humorously worded case.

My money's on cardboard sleeve.

I'd assume the CD with the vinyl is just like any other CD version, just without a real case. Or maybe with a real case.

But the disc itself would probably be the same as any other CD.

I guess.

These webcasts are always great quality and lengthy setlists. They'll get one song on the show itself, but the band plays a full (or near full) set from their entire catalogue for the internet.

Good thread.

Perhaps it'll sound different when the official release comes out. There's no guarantee that the captured stream is the final mix of the record.

There absolutely is.

Why do people do this?

It's a real shame that fans of Wilco can hate one of their albums so much.

Why?
