I was going by Chez's use of the word recently, meaning the last few albums. By the standards of this lineup to mean "recently", Wilco hasn't made anything consistently Autobahn besides Star Wars. All I am saying is that Wilco has been pretty heavy on the quiet songs with noise sections, with a couple of experimental tracks, and almost no barn-burners since AM or Being There. Summerteeth was the last record to have about half fast songs and even then it's like 6/15. 7 if you count "Summer Teeth". I want to push back against this notion that Wilco, not including Jeff Tweedy solo, has been dry w

The Porsche has only been on Star Wars and Schmilco and one of those was decidedly Autobahn. When do people think the next song will drop? Schmilco was a mid-September release and we had two songs by now (July 14th for "Locator" and July 18th for "If I Ever Was a Child") with a third on August 29th ("Someone to Lose"). Given the October 4th date, I assume we'll get one each month if they're doing a three song preview. The Whole Love is our other comparison with "I Might" dropping at Solid Sound 2011 and "Born Alone" dropping on September 7th before the 27th release date. What song wil

Are we going to ignore this? A few things here: Has everybody forgotten what Star Wars sounds like? What part of "Pickled Ginger" doesn't sound like "I'm a Wheel"? It seems like everybody talks about Sukierae, Schmilco, Warm, and Warmer as if tonally that's all that happened. Go back and listen to "Cold Slope/King of You". Show me where else in the catalog "Magnetized" exists. All of those sad, folk waltzes like "More...", "Where Do I Begin", "You Satellite", and "The Joke Explained". End Rant. Next, I think I sit on the fence about the diversity inside of each record. I liked the

For those that haven't gotten a chance to hear it, I will echo this sentiment. The piece that stood out to me in "Before Us" was the ominous, booming bass drum. I wasn't sold on the pastoral sound of the live tracks until I heard "Before Us" and it sold me on the tone of the album; this coming from a listener who wishes Jeff would put down the acoustic guitar. New track is very tasteful, which is not how I've felt about Nels Cline since SBS I'm sorry to say. I'm really excited for Ode to Joy

"Shake it Off" - I want to hear that vamp live because it would kill. Also, I've been shouting it since 2010 and all I get is push back from Jeff. No, Glenn did not put me up to this. Outside of that, I am requesting "ELT" because that's another song I've been chasing. I always hoped that "Cold Slope/King of You" would be part of the Star Wars rotation but we got "The Joke Explained" instead which, personally, is probably the last song I would have picked from the album. It's been a while since "One Wing" graced the SS stage and that's top Wilco for me so I would be happy to hear it.

I knew before I clicked it that this was the "Burn to Shine" performance, it's pretty amazing. "Muzzle of Bees" is the best Wilco.

Great show overall and I will agree that they were rocking. Guess we lost Monday and Outtasite to the lengthy IG solo which was an impressive solo. This one was heavy on the technical side over tasteful, which is usually not my preference, but I was taken in none the less. Also: "You can't see it on the radio, can't see it any where you go." Jeff on singing the Spiders riff: "Don't let Philly beat you!" "Here's some more mid-tempo rock" *Goes into "Jesus, Etc." And was I correct in hearing: "He lifted up his shirt at the battle of the bands"? I will admit I was hoping to hear a co

I hear you and Being There is my second pick, but I'm voting for Sky Blue Sky because thats the record that deserves the most due, it was written by this version of the band and they hardly play from it anymore, it's my third favorite after Yankee and Ghost (which they play from always), plus I don't think Nels really understands the style of playing that makes Being There great and will only vote for it if they let Pat play lead the whole time.

I laughed hard for this one, would have also liked "You Are My 49th Beard" Taste the Red Lung Let's Not Get Bees Can't Stand You (At the End of the Century) At Least That's What You Think

At the last Solid Sound they played a bunch of the B-Sides and Jeff stopped and said something akin to, "That's enough Japanese B-sides for one show, we've played like 5." So with that in mind, I would not put my money on it.

I think the problem is that if you only got to see the Friday night show, there was only one Wilco song. It was a fun set, but to be quite honest, some of us younger fans will never have the same breadth of music history to fully appreciate the set because we can only hear and love so much music. I enjoyed the set, especially the double "And Your Bird Can Sing", but the touring shows are not getting longer and the amount of songs by the band is not getting shorter. I would much rather see a full album set than another covers show. I would also be open to a hybrid of sorts or the band covering

I mean it's different for everybody, for me it's about ranking the emotional impact or connection I have to the records. I don't rank them for quality. I'm sure there are people who rank them similarly or even to show their distaste but everybody is entitled to their opinions and reasons, I guess. I'd also say that's why you see a lot of people posting about tiers of their preferences instead of hard lists. If I let you know that I listened to A.M. five or six times in the month of September so far alone, what does that say about how little the list really means, you know? Here is my incompl

I use Spotify to run all of my music at work as well as to and from. I have a cd/aux based stereo system at home or use my computer with headphones for close listens.

^Good call here with Washed Out: Paracosm Far Away You and I (The Adult Swim version) Feel It All Around Great Escape

The album is downloadable in the Kung Fu store at present (I'm 11:04 EDT).

"On and On and On" is literally the reason I got into Wilco in the first place. The moment when the organ line comes in over the inverted pyramid of guitar is one of the most sublime moments in the Wilco discography. I always get frustrated that the album on spotify ends with "Let's Not Get Carried Away" (even if I love that song) because it steals away the best closer the band ever made.

Not overzealous, just a fan with priorities in sight. Let's be real, they're both listening parties. But one you can listen to in your home for the rest of your life and the other happens the one time coming live from the artists responsible. Maybe that's just me though...

I guess they missed the memo, that is a solid week. Does anybody else feel like the downloads will go out on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning?

I would go to every show that started with "Radio Cure". I love that song! This article made me super excited for the Schmilco tour, even more than the first article did. If they bring back the request tool I've been thinking about songs that haven't seen the light in forever that would shine in this setup. I would love to see songs like "Please be Patient With Me", "Country Disappeared", or "Remember the Mountain Bed" integrated amongst many others.

They announced on the Facebook page that they had enough orders of the turntable. Final date to order one is August 26th.

1). Wilco - June 24, 2011 @ Mass MOCA, Solid Sound Night 1 It POURED that night but I have never heard a set of Wilco songs than included the majority of my favorites like Hotel Arizona, Muzzle, Radio Cure, and One Wing. 2). Wilco - April 6, 2010 @ Orpheum, Boston This show set a hard standard for how many songs and deep cuts I can expect to see at any show that it has almost ruined shows for me, what a wonderful night. 3). St. Vincent - February 27, 2014 @ House of Blues, Boston 4). honeyhoney - June 17, 2015 @ The Sinclair, Cambridge 5). Andrew Bird - May 6th, 2012 @ House of Blues.

^Same. With a vinyl, a cd, and a t-shirt on the way, my conscience is clear.

http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/08/the-25-best-rock-acts-with-unique-setlists/5/ Nice to see the guys get recognized for their ability to change things up. To be honest, by the time I got to them I was frustrated that they were possibly not considered.

For a long-form lyric there is one true winner to me and that is: I am looking forward toward the shadows tracing bones.Our faces stitched and sewing, our houses hemmed into homes.Trying to be thankful, our stories fit into phones.Our voices lift so easily, a gift given accidentallywhen we're not sure we're not alone. From "You Are My Face" For a short lyric I'd go with: It's a random painted highway and a muzzle of bees.My sleeves have come unstitched from climbing your trees. From "Muzzle of Bees"

Black Moon and Rising Red Lung are my favorites on The Whole Love, if this is to be believed, I am not yet worthy of this record.
