    So, has anyone heard these two new Wilco studio tracks yet? It's strange there's been literally no reviews of the songs themselves! I wonder how fleshed out "Half Life" is from the acoustic Tweedy Show version. And seemingly nothing at all is known about "I Can't." I'm hoping, at the very least, these songs make their way to streaming or something soon.

    I have the 45.  "Half Life" is a full band version.  Three guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, three part vocals on the chorus.  Glenn's drums up front in the mix.

    "I Can't" is also a full band version.  Two or three guitars, bass, drums, more prominent keyboards, two or three part harmony vocals.  Glenn's drums up front in the mix.

     

    Both songs sound as if they could have been from the "Ode To Joy" sessions.  Same type of feel to the songs as the songs on "Ode To Joy".

    Tanglewood Bootleg Question

    Does anyone know were I can download the Tanglewood show? I am looking for the soundboard recording that is posted on Wilcoworld.net and not a fan taping of the show. ...... Any help would be great.

    I believe I have what you need as AIFF-C files.  PM me.  I can upload it for you on DropBox if you would like.

    What do you mean? Did you personally go to their box office? I went on their website just now and clicked for tickets and it was the same price, with I think a $13.50 handling fee.

    I ordered online and the total handling fee was $18.00.  The total was about $10.00 cheaper than going through Solid Solid ($286.00 vs. $296.00).  I just checked again and the handling fees have gone up at Mass MoCA like you said.  At least I saved $10.00 when I ordered them yesterday.

    Defective Summerteeth vinyl

    No problem here...very slight warp in the record, but no skip.

     

    Adjusting the anti-skate will not stop skipping. The anti-skate is used to counteract the tendency of the tonearm to slide right or left. By misadjusting the anti-skate, it causes the needle to put a lot of pressure on one side of the vinyl groove, causing uneven and premature wear of the vinyl. This does more damage than having too much weight on the tonearm. For most turntables, the tonearm should be balanced at zero weight. Then about 1.5 to 2.0 grams of pressure should be dialed in. This should be sufficient for most cartridges and tonearms. This weight should be set to the manufacturer's recommendations if it is known. The anti-skate should be set to the same value as the weight of the tonearm. If the tonearm is set up correctly, the vinyl should not skip because of a slight warp, and the tonearm should not bounce to the right or left.
