I reviewed the new album for my friend's site.

Still haven't listened to the new Jason Isbell. Been listening to Star Wars almost on repeat since it was released. After that, will do the same with Isbell probably.

Thanks. IDK why, thought it was Goldberg.

Also of note, Josh Goldberg (the roadie who plays cowbell during Hoodoo Voodoo) is in the fake band on this episode, Jeff's fake band.

FWIW I posted a very very very brief rundown of how to play Random Name Generator in the Lyrics/Tabs section. Buddy and I figured it out, probably going to play a jam based off of it tmrw night at this show we are playing. Or the song itself if we can figure out the lyrics.

Whole thing is A to G. The A riff starts on the A string, 7th fret to 10th fret and then 7th fret on the d string. Last two notes are on the 5th fret for that. Then it just moves down two strings, but then instead of the 8th fret (ala 10th) you hit the 7th. I would tab it out but I am lazy. Maybe later.

Yeah this only gets better with each listen

I don't get it, like for the encore?

As a childhood Star Wars nerd, this would drive me crazy (in a good way)

I love Random Name Generator. Also, yeah, they really took some shots and it's awesome.

Wasn't a huge fan of the record my first listen through, liked the second half. BUT 2nd listen through was very important for me and now I really like this record. One of their most ambitious in a while too.

I bought the bundle - both are pretty good sound quality. Weird thing is, the Saturday show just sounds less lively in the recording than it felt in real life.

Jeez, that must be 10 years old, but they all seem so much younger looking.

Oh yeah, very curious about this. I'm a big John fan.

I'm pretty sure that's just a fun photoshopped pic for that concert. I did think maybe they would be doing like, covers of the Byrds, but that seems like an odd thing for the band to do, cover another band's songs for the whole show. I mean, they did do that cover show in 2013 at SS, but that was a different thing altogether. Probably, just a tribute to the Byrds, one of JT's favorite bands.

CD, right? Must be from the price. How many essays/liner notes are there? I may buy it just for those.

Jeff was playing his Martin on stage on Friday night. First time I think I've ever seen him play it on a show. I would really like one of those guitars, especially since I aped Jeff;s fingerstyle of playing. Probably my next guitar will be his, whenever that happens.

Quality vs WFUV stream?

I watched the 2nd set last night. I wasn't super impressed, I liked the music, more or less, but the 2-4 songs that were just drums were boring as hell. Also, Bob can't hit high notes anymore.

Oh that is both adorable and a great pun - those Will Cole shirts.

Something tells me Wilco wouldn't want to work with someone as notoriously difficult as Albini.

When I saw them in South FL in May, they played right through the two encores. Like, they played hte songs, but didn't go off and come back. At the end, Jeff said "we played through both encores, so we're really done now."

Another obnoxiously loud singer checking in. Though I am more conscious of it now and stop myself often, since I can always hear myself sing the songs, but I don't often have the whole band in front of me.

I thought the same thing. I mean there were clearly large amounts of people there, and the crowds for the Wilco show were pretty huge (I went on Friday night to use the restroom and get some water, but that took basically half of Thanks I Get and most of Theologians) - but aside from that it didn't really seem live an overwhelming amount of people. Granted I hadn't been at SS since 2010 so my comparison skills are low, but I was a bit worried it would be crazy packed all the time.
