ThisIsNowhere

Heard IATTBYH on KEXP while driving down Broadway this morning. Almost hit the trolly. I mean I've heard that song hundreds of times before and KEXP usually plays really good stuff, but it was so unexpected to hear that particular song at that particular time that it hit me like a ton of bricks. It was like hearing it for the first time all over again

How is that new Lydia Loveless? I haven't gotten to check it out yet. Such an amazing album. Still feels fresh and urgent, even a year later.

Coincidence?

I know the new Head and the Heart record comes it that day, I wasn't tracking the Jack White one. Plus everything else that was mentioned in this thread. It's going to be a good week for music.

How so, exactly? I mean I'm pretty excited for Wilco too.

It's like a long lost Pavement song! This album is becoming more of the 'fucked-up country record' that I could have ever imagined coming from Wilco. I love it

Oh wowee! As if I wasn't already excited enough. And it hasn't already leaked yet? Insane! ***Paitently awaits preorder***

I really like Star Wars, and I'm fairly confident that Schmilco will be even better. But I'm one of those rare fans that actually likes WT(A), so feel free to take my opinion with a grain of salt.

This sounds really exciting. Honestly I didn't really pay attention to Ryan's last couple of albums so maybe I'll go ahead and pick this one up. Has anyone gotten the Heartbreaker reissue on vinyl yet? (Just the standard reissue, not the deluxe box set). Hell yeah. Love is Hell has always been one of my favorites of his.

WS > SW SW > Everything else

Exactly. There's as much emotion in RNG as there is in songs like Jesus Etc. or At Least That's What You Said. I think a lot of people have a hard time understanding/deciphering Jeff's indirect lyrics and write those songs off as nonsense songs, but if you look at those lyrics there's plenty there, even if Jeff tends to disguise their meaning. I change my name every once in a while A miracle every once in a while I'm almost certain this is Jeff responding to criticism about Wilco not making a record that sounds like Wilco. Come on, cuff me to the weed with some wine If I miss your breeze

That would be amazing!

I always get excited when I see this thread get bumped, it makes me think the inevitable leak or stream has come out

That was wonderful.

Really enjoying If I Ever Was a Child right now. I am beyond stoked for this album now.

I've received three from them so far. I'm guessing they really want us to know that Wilco has a new album coming out...

Got the orange vinyl and I think I got the gum.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Is this part of the, as Jeff puts it, "fucked-up country record" that is supposed to be the follow up to Star Wars? Kind of sounds like it! Thanks, Wilco.

Great read, thanks for posting! I think I remember him saying something like this about the new Wilco album before.

If I ranked the Radiohead albums today it would look like this. And my list could very well be different tomorrow depending on what kind of mood I'm in: Kid A A Moon Shaped Pool Ok Computer The Bends In Rainbows Amnesiac The King of Limbs Hail to the Theif Pablo Honey And since it seems like we're comparing Radiohead rankings to Wilco rankings my current Wilco ranking is: Star Wars YHF AGIB SBS WTA TWL BT ST AM

To me it's just a different kind of record. No need to compare it to AGIB/YHF/BT, it's great on its own. I love it.

I'm really enjoying the album right away as well, I enjoyed TKOL but I think this album is already up with In Rainbows, or maybe even better. It's going to take repeated listens to really get a sense of it but even after the first listen I can tell that it's something special, even for Radiohead. The fact that Radiohead released an album this good makes me happy

Does anyone know why the track listing is in alphabetical order?

It's definitely worth watching even if you're just a casual fan. I think it's on Blu-Ray now.
