In leiu of any sort of "break" now is the time to dust off WTA. It's beyond brilliant in the new post whole love context.

thank you *tears of joy*

Outta Site Outta mind video on MTV circa 1996 (I was 16). AM, Being There and that first BR5-49 record was all I listened to my senior year in High School.

Bailey's makes a delicious french vanilla creamer.

Capitol City is the only one that I'm not diggin'. Everything else I've either liked immediately or has grown on me. Not that one though. I'm trying but...as much as I love Wilco, that's just an awful song. It sounds to me like it could be part of a soundtrack for a Dudley Moore film or something. Ack. It's bad.

you must use headphones for this one

This record is the masterpiece I've been waiting for Wilco to make.

Is there any chance the guitar solo on Standing O , since its two guitars doing a call and response (sounds like nels in the left speaker and pat in the right, but i guess it could be jeff) would be done live in the context of hoodoo voodoo?

hmmmm.... were we all having this discussion with YHF? BTW was it Pat that bought the Glockenspiel?

At this point I think we owe this band at least some blind elegance. However, If we we are making an REM comparison, I sort of got the same feeling about WTA and this record as I did when I heard Monster and every record after that.

Greetings,

I lost both copies I had of the Grand Opera House show. Hard drive crash + tumbdrive plug bent + way too scratches CDs means I can no longer enjoy my favorite piece of recorded music. The bit torrent on bttree has sadly disappeared and the individual tracks on owl and bear dont work for me. Does anyone know where I can find this show. Please help, I am desperate. Thanks.

I think thats it...

Wilco barley plays NJ but I make it work. California's problem is there is no mass transit...you should try to car pool and check out craigslist for lats minute tickets. I am sure you can shave off money that way. I am dreading going out to Brooklyn which may take me up to 2 hours to get to but it will be worth it!

bar

if they could only combine the two...... jk, dmb sucks a huge cock

I'd pay $$ for that Berkley show that was in the roadcase last summer. I've never been able to hear any of the tapers product, so I cant make a comparison.

 

The Berkley show was good. Jeff's comments on how high everybody smelled cracked me up. The opening with Sunken Treasure knocked me on my ass, as I had not yet had the chance to see them live.

yea that was a good one. Better yet i like how he compared them to Portland... their heads were on fire ha ha.

Does anyone else get the impression that the new members page that has been set up for us to get the Ashes audio and the 930 show amongst other bits and pieces might be used to sell us content that is not free?

 

Currently all of the "subscriptions" are free but I'ld love for them to sell us high-quality downloadable versions of the shows they stream through the Roadcase section. There could even be member's only premium content like tour EPs or the like. It would be a good idea for the band to get more cash trickling in during the between album periods.

 

Anyone have an opinion whether they think this could be a possibility judging from the members area? Would people be willing to pay for this type of content, and if so how much per gig?

 

Personally I could see myself paying about $10 per gig just for the convience of listening to it on my ipod.

i prefer what the tapers post rather than what wilco records. To me the bootlegs sound like like if i were actually at the concert, the official recordings sound like if i were plugged into the soundboard with a pair of headphones. you dont get the reverb, you dont get the crown nearly as much... if the sound guy would just turn nels up just a bit like pre residency level all would be fine.

Nels Cline has ruined Wilco. Why don't they just get Santana to join? Why all the flash? Play from the heart not the head. Jay was a much better creative partner.

 

Being There, Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel and Ghost are my favorites. No wank.

 

The new album is enjoyable but you can hear Nels suck the life out of it. Much different vibe and not in a good way.

 

I will listen some more. I am trying to dig it but it is trying to break my heart.

wilco need to do a collaboration with nickelback. that would be sweet. with nels cline and santana dueling leads. fuck yea.

The band has never sounded better than after pat and nels joined. One thing i noticed was nels got tuned way down in the mix starting with the 930 club shows in feb 08. as predicted he has much smaller role on the new album. no 8 minute guitar solos. Yea the novelty has worn off but thats fine, wilco really just needs a solid lead guitar and I think nels is falling into that role. Pat replaced leroy, nels was a new addition.

I'll fight reminds me of when the roses bloom again

Can I get an amen?

Woah man, Christianity is like totally socially unacceptable.

OK so where is Nels on this record? Maybe he played on some of the B sides?

hey everyone bull black nova really makes spiders seem like child's play
