Im not sure. I saw Jeff solo in Champaign this winter and it was a very respectful crowd and noone was really rude at all.

BUT I saw the full band in OKC this summer and the people in the audience were horrible.. people were throwing sharpie markers onstage and others were screaming stuff trying to be funny, when really all they accomplished was looking like a tool in front of about 2000 people. It was shocking to see how rude they were to the band and everyone else around them.

I'd like to see a new Autumn Defense record too along with another Loose Fur.

KT was my introduction to Wilco, so it will always have a special place in my heart. But to answer your question, yes it still holds up quite nicely

It would be interesting to hear all the W(ta) tracks without the overdubs... then we could all get a small taste of this "stripped down" Wilco.

But I think Nels is great (better than I could ever be atleast) and watching him during live shows is amazing.

I do it way too often for it to be healthy

From XM in my email today:

 

XM CH. 12, Outlaw Country, will broadcast a five part interview series with Wilco starting Monday, July 27 through the 31st, every night at 9pm EST.

 

I'm not sure which Sirius station that is, if it indeed is on Sirius, too. I also don't know why Wilco is affliated with country music anymore.

This is great, thanks for the heads up.

Also, do you know if XM 12 plays a lot of Wilco? I always have trouble finding wilco on xm and XMU and The Loft are the only channels that Ive heard play Wilco.

Studio, but really for me (and all of us uber-wilco freaks) any Wilco is good . But another interesting discussion would be which studio versions do you like more?

I'm a big fan of the engineer demos personally...

Casino Queen (Riverboat casino in downtown stl)

ill post more if I can think of them...

I was at the homerun derby and missed this! did anyone happen to get a rip? or is it still available somewhere?

I want to get a guitar and learn to play just to have one of those straps.. John and Jeff's designs are my favorite but theyre all cool..

I might buy one and try to make a belt out of it

Greetings everyone,

 

And many, many thanks from all of us to each of you. The returns are in and Wilco (the album) sold 99,000 "units" as they say in the record business -- which blows away our previous best week by a longshot. Cheers to you guys for making that happen.

 

After a short holiday break, the band are now back on the road. They rocked a sold out Wolf Trap in Virginia last night and will be at Frawley Stadium in Wilmington, DE tomorrow (Friday 7/10). Rumor has it that the Blue Rocks mascot "Mr. Celery" is a Wilco fan. So say hi if you see him.

 

Tickets remain for this Saturday 7/11 at the home of the Spinners in Lowell, MA; Monday 7/13 in Brooklyn at the Cyclones' Keyspan Park (but only a few hundred left out of 12k); Saturday 7/18 at the Hudson Valley Renegades' Dutchess Stadium in Wappingers Falls NY ( 70 miles north of NYC, 10 south of Poughkeepsie) and 7/19 at the decidedly non-baseball related Art Park in Lewiston (Buffalo) NY. Portland, ME 7/17 and Royal Oak, MI 7/21 are sold out.

 

The band will wrap up their US summer tour with a gig at the 10,000 Lakes Music Festival in Minnesota on 7/23. Click here for information about rides to Wilco shows via Zimride... who are now partners with us on our Passenger Side Ride share application.

 

One more thing: all 4 of the ballpark shows have been designated TOUR PROGRAM NIGHT... meaning the first 1000 people through the gates at each receive a free Wilco Summer Tour Program. See you out there. Sun's out. Gonna step out in the yard and fire up the grill.

 

The HQ staff

 

P.S. Wilco with special guest Feist on Late Night with David Letterman Tuesday 7/14. Be sure to tune in.

I missed this! Could anyone send me a copy if they have a rip? sam.londoff (at) gmail.com

Thanks in advance.

It's Beck. Hell Yeah.

Thanks, all! Julie, the initials of the famous rock star are B.H. or, perhaps more accurately (big clue) B.

I'm hopin for a St. Louis show or a show close to there

This is awesome. hopefully this episode will be put on hulu like the first few have been..

I liked it a lot when I got the leak, but I vowed to listen for a week or two then not listen to it until it is realeased... But it gets tougher as each day goes by lol

What is this song?

Is it a new song or a SBS song or just a re-working of Impossible Germany?

I love Loose Fur, and it would be great to see them make a new record. A tour would be a treat to see.

Also, is the Autumn Defense finished? I've always liked the stuff John and Pat do...

The app is ok, I wish we could stream the new album on it.....

In a few weeks when it's released i'm sure that it will be available to listen

Tragic to hear of Jay's passing. He was extremely talented..

Have they stated an official cause of death yet?

Now we need a WilcoBase app to get all the setlists... i know a few apps like this. i have the dmb setlist app

dmb sucks a huge cock

haha. I'd like to see you try and do better...

and i thought "sucks a huge cock" was a phrase used only by the douchie-est of douchebags and insecure preteen boys?

...which are you?

A poorly written review in The Boston Phoenix:

 

http://thephoenix.com/Boston/Music/83579-W...ilco-The-Album/

"There's only one extended solo-heavy song here, "Bull Black Nova," and they get it out of the way early on."

Are they complaining about Bull Black Nova?? That's one of the highlights of the record... in my opinion atleast.

Highway - AM/BT

Suburban/City - YHF

But now that i have i W(TA) in my car, that has taken both the spots haha

can anyone recomend a good application to be able to listen to .flac files? I've tried to download from Owl and Bear, but cant do anything with it.

You can download a flac converter and depending on the file you convert to, it should play in itunes and other media players..

Windows:

hope this helps...
