Wilco’s ‘I Might’ Shows Promise For New Album

 

If you heard this new Wilco single “I Might” a few weeks back and thought it showed great promise for the upcoming record, you’re not alone. It’s a great tune. Now I have now heard the new Wilco album The Whole Love, and I can say it’s absolutely great. Totally the album I had hoped they still had in them after the last two decent, but ultimately sorta boring records. The experimental fire is back and it might be the best record of theirs since A Ghost Is Born. That’s probably all I’m allowed to say for now, but more later I’m sure. In the meantime, listen to this song again. It’s great.

Wilco Loves Its Label

 

Wilco’s new album The Whole Love is already assured to be among my favorite albums of the year, but it’s also the band’s best since A Ghost Is Born, if not Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. It’s also the first record on their new label dBpm. The band released a 7″ single this summer to celebrate, with “I Might” and a great cover of Nick Lowe’s “I Love My Label.” Check out this nice video of them recording that song in their famed “Wilco Loft.”

Over and over again!

I live just north of Philly and we felt it here.... a number of buildings were evacuated.

Here it is!!

Bad As Me is Tom Waits’ first studio album of all new music in seven years. This pivotal work refines the music that has come before and signals a new direction. Waits, in possibly the finest voice of his career, worked with a veteran team of gifted musicians and longtime co-writer/producer Kathleen Brennan. From the opening horn-fueled chug of “Chicago,” to the closing barroom chorale of “New Year’s Eve,” Bad As Me displays the full career range of Waits’ songwriting, from beautiful ballads like “Last Leaf,” to the avant cinematic soundscape of “Hell Broke Luce,” a battlefront dispatch. On tracks like “Talking at the Same Time,” Waits shows off a supple falsetto, while on blues burners like “Raised Right Men” and the gospel tinged “Satisfied” he spits, stutters and howls. Like a good boxer, these songs are lean and mean, with strong hooks and tight running times. A pervasive sense of players delighting in each other’s musical company brings a feeling of loose joy even to the album’s saddest songs.

Pre-order Bad As Me at the Tom Waits Store.

From ANTI Records:

Tom Waits Sets the Rumors Straight

Tuesday August 16, 2011

There have been rumblings and rumors. New music, you say? Come to TomWaits.com on Tuesday August 23rd, and Mr. Waits himself will set the record straight.

Wow....that's next week. That is a really strange cover from Tom.

Yeah, but it's only the cover art for the single.

Tom Waits single "Bad As Me" available August 23rd!!!

1. I first heard Wilco in 2000, when "How to Fight Loneliness" was played in the Winona Ryder film, "Girl, Interrupted." My sister and I argued over who was going to buy Summerteeth... she wound up beating me to it. Soon after though, she lost interest and I took over.

2. My first Wilco show wasn't until 2004, when I saw them in Norfolk, Virginia. http://wilcobase.com...p?event_key=784

I almost never listen all the way through, and even though it's a lot shorter than the studio version, I've always found the live versions to sound much more interesting. I was lucky enough to hear it live at my first Wilco show in 2004 and was blown away by the drone.

Standing O didn't sound great to me, but Dawned on Me, from five rows back, blew me away. The quality on the YouTube video that surfaced wasn't that great, but I thought it sounded awesome. Reminds me of some of their older stuff.

 

Also, even though the vids are blocked, you can d/l MP3 versions of Born Alone and Dawned on Me from the festival here: http://www.youaintnopicasso.com/2011/06/27/mp3-wilco-debut-two-new-songs-live-dawned-on-me-born-alone/

 

As for the title, I'm kind of indifferent but did prefer Get Well Soon Everybody.

And see I like "Standing O" better than "Dawned on Me." Though it is hard to hear the words... I just like the melody better, I guess.

What's wrong with the home page now... being updated?

Get Well Soon Everybody is a much better album title than The Whole Love.

I agree, but oh well... as long as the music is good, I don't care about the title.

What do those who have listened think of that new untitled song or "Standing O," as some have called it?

Also, has there been any word on whether or not this will be a double album?

Here's what I think our count on songs played live (that we have recordings of) from The Whole Love, let me know if I'm missing anything!

 

1. Open Your Mind - played solo a few times

2. Born Alone - solo and full band

3. I Might - we have the recording

4. The Whole Love - played at SS

5. Dawned On Me - played at SS

6. Unknown new one - played at SS

 

And we know of the songs:

7. The Art Of Almost - we think portions of the recording were on Vimeo

8. Song For Jane Smiley's Boyfriend - according to the Spin article

I also remember reading somewhere about a song called "Capital City."
