Ghost of Electricity

The 2nd Amendment should be repealed. Glad you and yours are ok, kidsmoke.

I don't listen to Wilco nearly as much as i used to. But when i do, it can still get me, Like to day when i heard "what you once were isn't what we you want to be anymore."

If you're reading this... Hi Jeff!

I've always thought it had to do with addiction recovery, and not losing hope over what might be perceived as a lost cause. The Axis thing being used as a metaphor for 1)the fucked up things addiction can bring on ans 2)the fact that those countries have made an honest attempt at purging the demons of their past, much in the same way an addict should. reading the transcribed words above, not all lines support this readin, but screw it that's my take and i'm sticking to it.

I have been outta the loop recently and lack a time frame. Have they had a break from touring fal 2012? Any speculations as to whether the new stuff exists already and is now being tweaked/recorded or is that the plan for early 2013? When can we realistically expect this new record? Also I seem to remember something from an interview around the time of TWL release where Jeff (or maybe) someone else said they'd recorded fifty songs and narrowed it down to the 10(?) that ended up on the record. Possibly another release from this material? That said, I think Jeff and Tony have enough busi

i'd like a release of new studio material, but the idea of rarities, outtakes etc. from turn of the century era Wilco would also be fantastic. Live release doesn't excite me so much.

i recently discovered his collaboration with Phillip Glass thanks to you tube. Fantastic, beautiful music.

Thank you for your massive contribution to music of many genres. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-20690632

I do have The Clash "Combat Rock" so there is "Overpowered by Funk" other than that nuthin'

take a break and listen to some Justin Beiber. See you soon!

sorry, Regen: 7 Mix 11 Delay 7 is what I meant. I actually have a CC and was too lazy to go look at it while typing the last post, and my memory is nothing if not fallible. The master volume on the amp is a valuable tool for not making enemies with your neighbours. That said, most amps do sound better loud, and it's not about the volume. As fa as the OCD is concerned, it sounds like you're going for some low gain settings, which should work well with the amp just before breakup. Part or the OD sound you're hearing comes from the boosted signal pushing your amp into OD. Your amps O

No way man! That's fantastically disturbing. Also, the Highway 61 whistle is perfect. What'sd the Victoria Williams song where it starts out muffled then someone walks to the door and opens it and it sounds normal? I just want that song to sound normal.

As you stated, there are lots of variables. It's often good to start with an idea of what tone you have in mind, and try to set the variables to achieve that tone. For example, if you want some country sounding guitar, you'd typically want the bridge pickup of the tele. Set the tone knob to something bright but not ice-picky. Run it through the Carbon Copy set for slapback. The Feedback and Delat knobs should be just a touch above zero (about 7 o'clock) and the the level around 10 or 11 o'clock. The amp is also impportant here: what kind is it? I suggest you set it for the edge of break

have a mutual friend introduce you

Mercer and Million

What about the Feelies' Mercer and Million? Can they qualify as lead guitarists even if much of there magic is in the rhythm? Maybe I'll just walk over and post in that rhythm guitar thread now...

Some good ones mentioned already. I'll add: Pavement, though Malkmus' contributions are clearly superior. The Everly Brothers The Stanley Brothers The Velvet Underground The Beach Boys had what, 5 or 6? more will probably come to me.

We Been Had The Long Cut New Madrid

Lou Reed should be mentioned in this conversation.

Yes.

Ummm..., I skip it usually...

when you put it like that, it makes me think i oughta dust off that dyna-comp on the shelf i never bonded with...

well, we ARE wasting our time and tone IS in the hands, but i happen to be pretty good at wasting time. Wish I were better about getting great tone out of my hands:) Anyway, I don't think a compressor is necessary for the country style stuff, i just think a lot of chicken pickin' players use it to even things out. Bands I've been in have dabbled in it, noone's ever had a compressor. The guy who was best at it went completely pedal-less, actually.

Agree with you on "The Blue Earth" but I don't know "Bunkhouse" very well at all.
