Ummm... Wow... yeah... soooo... Lot's of Beatles/Lennon vibes going on for me. Also reminds me a LOT of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (also get some Summerteeth vibes thrown in there too)- mabye the "best" record since YHF? Don't get me wrong - I love all the newer albums and I especially love AGIB (about as equally as I love YHF), but YHF is just different in a way where it kind of can't even be compared to those records and this record feels like that. It's just different in the best/weirdest/most awesome ways possible. From the moment I saw the post from the Wilco Facebook to download I sat t

Amazing! Thanks so much!

Is there a chance anyone got a capture of the stream? It would be so much appreciated by those of us stuck working... mostly me.

Well didn't they spend a bunch of last year recording? I seem to remember some buzz about that before the whole 20th Anniversary tour started...

Watched a bit of this the other night. I thought it was some damn fine playing.

Maybe Lotti was the author of that article...

Love spinning this one on vinyl

Here's an article on Summerteeth that was posted by the Wilco Facebook page... http://www.trunkworthy.com/the-kaleidoscopic-and-oddly-overlooked-pop-masterpiece-where-wilco-became-wilco/

Anyone around here care about the new MMJ album? I think it's pretty rad. Seeing them at Red Rocks in August and in LA with Fruit Bats, Dr. Dog in October.

Lucius and The Decemberists tonight at Greek Theatre LA

Best of Luck Vibes to you for Friday!

What a surprising morning! I kind of forgot the tickets were going onsale but got logged on right after the clock turned 10am and got 2 pit tickets for the Greek show in LA. This is the first time I've ever been able to get pit tickets for a Greek show. We usually wind up in section B or C. That was a pretty easy ticket-getting experience for like the first time ever from Frontgate.

On the Greek PASS system the highest price was something like $85.

I wasn't originally going to this show, but am so glad I ended up there. I was at work on Sunday and my fiancee sent me asking if there's any particular reason we were not going to the 2nd Tweedy show that night because she was thinking of finding us tickets and going again (needless to say, this girl is completely awesome). We ended up getting some great seats from the How To Fight Lonliness section of the board from user resistwaves - Thank You So Much! Everyone seems really down about the Saturday show - I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. What can I say, I think the weird shows are gre

Rant all you want but sometimes you are just late. I was one of the late-comers because I was required to stay at work until 8:15 last night and then had to make a mad rush over to the show and find parking. Sometimes it just happens - even to die-hard fans like myself. Obviously I know that most people in LA are late because they are self-important and wrapped up in their own trip - which can be annoying, but it's also part of living in LA.

There was lots of banter about how Shirley Temple had her first period at the Theatre at Ace Hotel, not really but "those are the kinds of things they tell you in Los Angeles" the Shirley Temple period talk went on for white some time and even turned into "that's how the drink got its name." Tweedy remarked on there being a lot of late comers and invited everyone to try and be on time tomorrow night. There was a small incident with some people trying to clap along with the solo set - particularly New Madrid (I think). Jeff urged everyone to stop clapping if they would like the show to co

Really happy to finally see/hear the TWEEDY band play live. This is a really stellar group of musicians Jeff has put together. Spencer is a super drummer. The bit at the end of Diamond Light where Darin and Spencer just jam that bass/drum line for a good bit really put both of their playing on spectacular display. Those dudes certainly can groove together. Really loved the combo of Fake Fur Coat/Diamond Light. Fake Fur Coat is probably my favorite tune off the TWEEDY album. Diamond Light is very impressive in a live setting. Really glad they played Slow Love and Nobody Dies - those are

The Greek show in LA is also listed on The Greek's website.

Yes!!!

This is the kind of news I'm patiently awaiting...

Dr. Dog at The Wiltern.

Wishing I could swing a little mid-summer trip to Red Rocks Wilco on 7/14 and The Avett Brothers/John Prine just two days before on 7/12...

This is totally what I was referring to with my original post - I wouldn't say Rubber Soul is my favorite, or the best Beatles album. I don't really know if there is a best Beatles album to be truthful. The variation throughtout the years makes them hard to compare against one another.

Just listening to Rubber Soul and re-realizing that it's really the most incredible pop album ever to happen. Saw this thread was popping up again and thought it appropriate to share. Just an incredible achievement in thoughtful, truthful, innovative pop music.

Funny article. Well written sarcasm and satire going on here.
