    Ahh.. I do see the brown sound booth in one of the shots. That makes sense. :)

     

    There is a comment at the bottom of the article on this that says the print issue has a larger article with more photos including the drums.

    Amazon currently has both sets mono and stereo available for order. $229 for the Mono and $179 for the Stereo, both say between 2 to 3 weeks at the short end of the ordering time frame. After striking out everywhere today trying to find one I ordered mine and am getting it for 20 bucks cheaper.

    See you in Dallas.

     

    I'll be there as well to celebrate my fifth anniversary with my wife!

     

    Don't know if they will do it again, but the last time Wilco played the Palladium they let people with tickets from the pre-sale get at the front of the line and let us in early. It was pretty nice.

    What about all the master reels in the middle of the room for the new record. All labled "LP7". One says "The Country Disappeared" and then below that "Song for the Pigeons"

     

    Hmmmmm.........

    First off, thanks to everyone who made tonight possible. Wilco and the good people of ViaChicago!!!

     

    Just got to You and I, so far I love this friggin' record. The arrangements are amazing, can't wait to hear them live. So much going on musically.

     

    This is not meant as a bad thing, but I can totally hear You and I at the end of a movie. Beautiful song.

     

    The drums and piano at the start of You Never Know just kicked my ass!

    Texas needs some love and we were missed somewhat last time the band was in the region. I had to go all the way to Tulsa and see a show at the historic Cains Ballroom witch happens to be part of the soon to be released DVD. :dancing

     

    How about another Ft.Worth gig guys?

     

    Ft. Worth would be awesome, unfortunately when the Autumn Defense played Dallas a couple of years ago I talked to John and he said they enjoyed the Ft. Worth show, but didn't think they would be playing there again. But I'll take the Palladium in Dallas if we have to.

    Ron Sexsmith - Exit Strategy Of The Soul

    From the Yep Roc website:

     

    Horns Punctuate Ron Sexsmith's Exit Strategy of the Soul, out July 8th

    April 16, 2008, 12:00 am

     

    Ron Sexsmith, "one of the finest songwriters we have," (Paste) has completed Exit Strategy of the Soul, which is set for a July 8 release via Yep Roc Records. The album stands tall as one of the greatest he has made to date.

     

    Produced by Martin Terefe, who also produced 2005's Retriever and 2002's Cobblestone Runway, Exit Strategy of the Soul was recorded in varied locations including studios in London, England and Havana, Cuba. Its ambitious arrangements, backed by a punctuating and swelling horn section on nearly every song, complete an album that is one of Sexsmith's most wide-ranging in breadth of sound and feel.

     

    With Sexsmith's disarmingly warm, inviting voice and his brilliant lyrical melancholy, the album's 14 tracks contain observations on spirituality, love and the ever present hope that the beauty of life can overcome the world's

    harshness. Also included here is Sexsmith's joyful recording of "Brandy Alexander," a song co-written with fellow Canadian, Feist, whose own version appears on her 2007 hit album The Reminder.

     

    Sexsmith will join Nick Lowe on a US tour during the latter half of April and headline Toronto's landmark theater, Massey Hall, on May 3. See below for more dates.

    He really is I met him after two shows and he was completely down to earth, even while talking about jamming with Paul McCartney! I thought his last one (Time Being) was his best one, but really he's just scarily consistent on all albums.

     

    Also for Feist fans this album has Sexsmith's version of Brandy Alexander (he originally wrote the song as with Secret Heart which Feist also covered) completely different take with horns and the such.

     

    Thank you so much for starting this thread. I frickin' love Ron and am also frightened by how consistently good his albums are. Seen him twice in concert with a grand total between the two shows of about forty-fifty people in attendance. He is wonderful.

     

    I loved "Brandy Alexander" when I first heard it then I looked at the liner notes and said "oh, of course."

    Tom Waits "Glitter and Doom" Tour

    BTW... Who else loves that the tour is called "Glitter and Doom?" I hope this also means a new album coming soon too! Stuart did say this will be one of several announcements coming in the next week!!!

     

     

    Yeah, makes me think of an 80s hair metal band tour. Maybe Whitesnake, Motley Crue, Ratt, and a couple of others.
