Thanks to all for their kind comments. onwards and upwards

Hi, I don't post often but lurk every day, and this post is by far my most personal, so please, ahem, be patient with me... This time round I stayed away from the album leaks and the streams and I only heard WTA this week when it arrived at my door. I love it, but one song in particular I would like to thank Jeff and the boys for. Since I pre-ordered the album a couple of months ago my marriage has fallen apart, and it has been an incredibly emotional and difficult few weeks; it was unexpected and I have truly been at rock bottom. Listening to One Wing for the first time, the sentime

Thank you Jay for music which has been, and will continue to be, a special part of my life. Rest in peace.

Apologies if this is old news, but Channel 4 television in the UK are showing Ashes on Friday April 24th at midninght....just 30 mins though. 00:00 4MUSIC: WILCO:... 30

So pleased to see a non-festival date in the UK; hoping for more v.excited; got 2 tix for VIP tables; troxy looks interesting, cannot wait!!

what great news to get on christmas eve! I'm having an extra glass of egg nog to celebrate! happy holidays to all here, sorry its been so long since I last posted. here's to a 2009 full of Wilco!

God I wish the UK shows hadn't been cancelled. I am delighted you all had a good time, from the comments and photos these seem like incredible concerts, but my heart is broken at missing out...

really??what do i have to do??? Oh thank God.

Somebody please shut this bloody thread down before this guy posts any more. Please. Enough. Let it go. Nothing else can be said on this subject.

This is a wind-up, right?

Just seen this at the Broken Horse label blog site http://brokenhorserecords.blogspot.com/ Autumn Defense Manchester show cancelled Unfortunately, the Autumn Defense show at the Briton's Protection has been cancelled because Wilco have pulled all their UK shows which were due to start next week. Apologies to anyone who was hoping to come down. The AD should be back in the UK in early 2008 for a proper tour of their own though.

At the risk of pouring oil on troubled waters, can I step in here, 100 or so posts since starting this thread, and try to repair a little of the special US/UK relationship that this forum enjoys and which appears to be in danger here, due to some pretty aggressive and ill-informed speculation and whingeing that's going on from some of my UK compatriots, especially those who are relatively new, who need to educate themselves pretty quickly and read some of the millions of posts on this site about Wilco's generosity and appreciation of their fans. It would be great if Wilco came more to the U

Shows are dropping like flies... I can't believe it. Been waiting for these shows for so long now...heartbroken, but, again, do hope all is well with the guys.

Brixton too - no way...what is going on? I hope all is ok with the guys...

Just had this in my mailbox.... No idea if any other shows are affected. Can't believe it's not being re-scheduled... :ohwell We're writing to let you know that WILCO at Manchester University, Manchester on 02/11/2007 has been cancelled, and won't be rescheduled. please return your 1 ticket(s) along with a copy of this E-mail to See Tickets,Customer Services, Room 99, 4th Floor, Norfolk House, Upper Parliament Street, Nottingham NG1 2AB.

If this is old news I apologise; Manchester University, Friday November 2nd; tickets on sale from 9.00am GMT Monday August 13th. That is all. Oh, and

hmmmm....no problems if I play it on my pc...looks like upgrade time for the DVD! thanks folks.

Hi, My pre-ordered CD/DVD of SBS has crackly jumpy sound on the DVD. My wife bought me another copy from a local store, and the sound on this copy has the same poor quality. Anyone else have this problem, or is it just bad fortune I got two duff copies?

Was expecting more SBS by now....

I definitely did not get such an email. I am in the UK and have since ordered the CD/DVD version on top of the Vinyl/CD package I originally ordered. So that's 2 lots of international shipping. Ouch. I have emailed the store asking if they can combine shipping as I am being penalised for getting in early, but no response so far. Good job I love this band.

Got SBS thanks to a PM yesterday, took it out in the car on a long journey last night. I think it's superb. It's the sound of a band extremely comfortable with each other, not under any pressure, happy in their skin and delivering what an album should be in my opinion - a record of who they are and the noise thay want to make at this particular time. The next record may take us off into more avant-garde territory or it might be gentle and acoustic. Who knows. Wilco is the greatest band working in music today and has never rested on laurels or reached a plateau or churned out the same rec

I too would welcome the chance to hear this - can someone PM me please???? I've been away from the pc for a few days with the 'flu - proper 'flu, not man 'flu, and hopefully not bird 'flu.... My apostrophe use alone is surely worth someone sending me a link to hear SBS?! Thanks in anticipation...
