Turnips

Actually, I thought the review scores were an average taken from multiple listeners, that's why sometimes the score doesn't always match the tone of the review. I could be wrong

I didn't find the itunes session that great unfortunately, the album tracks on TWL sound better than they do here. The older cuts and the Nick Lowe tune were OK but this EP is definitely not essential listening.

despite being a rather silly song, in the right setting "Yeah Yeah Yeah Song" is the most euphoric live musical experience

anyone seen "Friends with Kids"? It premiered here in Toronto at TIFF this year, don't think it's out in theatres yet though. Not the best movie but a stacked cast http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1720616/ Anyways, the flick opens with Shot in the Arm, and then Solitaire appears towards the end

Oh man The Weight is so awesome

amazing, thanks sooo much!

this is fantastic, Far Far Away sounds so good. And I haven't even got to the encore sets yet!

"this is how it looks, you can read. I hope" lol

if by "this year" you mean 1991 then I'm with you!

M83

they were doing Broken Arrow last year too no?

maybe it was John Cage's 4'33''

I've been doing this too, glad I'm not the only one! Some others off the top of my head: - "walk down any street..." in When You Wake Up Feeling Old- that stomping beat kills me - Jeff's ripping solo in ALTWYS - "come with me" harmonies in Hell is Chrome - that warping syththy sound in rthe last verse of Company in my Back (live version) - the bluegrass awesomeness of recent live versions of Forget the Flowers - why don't they have any other songs in this vein?!

Run To You!

Either Way is a great tune but considering Wilco's emphasis on impactful songs to open their LP's, it doesn't hold up against the others. IATTBYH all the way

Toronto weekly NOW's disc of the week, and a 5/5 score Wilco - The Whole Love (dBpm) By Carla Gillis Wilco’s ace eighth album, the first released on their own label, dBpm, is a real kick in the pants. Opening song Art Of Almost – a sort of rhythmically jerky, sprawling, Radioheadesque sonic experiment that climaxes with Nels Cline’s fantastically frenzied lead guitar – sets a bold, adventurous tone. (They opened with it at last week’s Massey Hall show, too.) You’d barely know it was Wilco if not for Jeff Tweedy’s familiar croon. Things never again reach such epic proportions, though all 12 s

that's a wuss move

NY Times article about the statistical improbabilities of the Red Sox / Rays madness. Bill Buckner Strikes Again - NYTimes.com -The Red Sox had just a 0.3 percent chance of failing to make the playoffs on Sept. 3. -The Rays had just a 0.3 percent chance of coming back after trailing 7-0 with two innings to play. -The Red Sox had only about a 2 percent chance of losing their game against Baltimore, when the Orioles were down to their last strike. -The Rays had about a 2 percent chance of winning in the bottom of the 9th, with Johnson also down to his last strike.

some songs want to evoke the feeling of the sound being slowly lost in the distance, which I find works in some cases. In others, it's clearly lazy songwriting/engineering picking up my vinyl on the way home from work tonight, can't wait!

you're right, the lights are really cool, just the obvious timed theatrics with certain moments in songs reminds me of Coldplay or something

I tend to agree with this, it's all getting a bit cheesy. The way the lighting is timed and themed perfectly to each song, meh. And the way they close every show with the same boring rockers, I just don't understand. Other than that, Wilco are incredible

^^ that's funny, the same thing happened to me when traveling to Solid Sound this year from Toronto. Crossed at Buffalo and when I said to the Customs guy that I was attending a music festival in MA, he's all "Oh the Wilco event?"
