You haven't been to the backstreets website. They are Bruce fanatics and do a great job covering all the news and live reviews related to him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The National played the same song for six hours straight. I bet that is their record! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bummer. Wilco used Pure Imagination as intro music during the YHF tour, right?

That was a nice read. Is it a cliche yet that the solo work all do allows Wilco to be stronger? Jeff swears a lot in the article! Is his on Wilco cuss within lyrics on "Company"?

Axl's GN'R tour ended last week and last night he was back on stage with AC/DC. They played (a sloppy) Live Wire for the first time since 1982. What a year for Axl.

Spencer is a good drummer maybe even great but Glenn is a genius. I thought it was interesting hearing on Song Exploder how Magnetized was recorded with Glenn replacing Spencer's parts.

3.5 Stars in Rolling Stone (out of 5). Can't find it online. Highlights: Normal American Kids is a "classic" "occasionally verges on pleasant blandness" "Spencer plays drums on it"

Which there will be two of...white and pink which I could have accessed (or still can if I want to buy a second copy). Not sure this orange version was worth it for me.

First Nels' vinyl is delayed and now this one. Bummer, but not a huge deal. I wonder what the story is.

That is a pretty amazing story! How did you land that gig?

Yes...until they released AGIB I thought it was laugh and I thought THAT was a great lyric too (they played the song a few times before the album was released and I played those shows on heavy repeat).

They had three different posters for the run in 2000. Of course....that was 16 years ago.

I'm impressed by the shows people are listening. Lots of great taste. Lots of classic rock. This is impossible so I'm just taking a crack at it and limit Wilco to 1 of the shows: Wilco Vic Theater Kicking TV shows (all), but the best was the penultimate Guns N' Roses 1/1/01 Vegas House of Blues (Axl's first show since 1993) Tom Petty - Vic Theater 2003 Green Day - Vic Theater. Days before American Idiot release. Played the album straight through. 2004 Blind Melon at St Andrews Halls on Soup tour Black Crowes at The Silo in Reading, PA on my 21st birthday (1999) White Stripes/Brenden Benson

The best life never leaves your lungs. Would make a great tattoo.

Sounds awesome. Both books are great btw

Minnesota Star Tribune article: http://www.startribune.com/wilco-teases-new-album-ahead-of-minneapolis-riverfront-concert/390588461/ highlights: "Schmilco” is decidedly mellow and semi-acoustic, with not one song longer than four minutes. The tracks on “Schmilco,” he said, “were a lot of songs that Jeff had pretty well formed on his own, with some input here and there from Glenn [Kotche, drummer], but the rest of us only kind of came in at the end to do our thing. There are a few tracks we did as a full ensemble, but not nearly as much as on ‘Star Wars’ or most of our other records. It w

The band goes through phases. I think SBS was collaborative, but to an extreme. Glenn has implied in the past that it wasn't a fun project for him because creating the songs by committee meant that he had to play very basic parts on many of the songs to keep everybody happy. I personally don't need the creative/recording process to be in any particular form, but it is interesting to hear about it.

It's hard to argue with this. I mean, there was a time not too long ago where they didn't repeat songs over two nights in the same city. They repeated a lot of songs within the same day in St. Louis yesterday!

Glenn: “Whereas the ‘Schmilco’ stuff, I might use more brushes, more nuance. Some of my jazz drumming past might come out.” Kotche said that, to some degree, he missed the experience of having all six Wilco members together in the studio working on songs. http://host.madison.com/ct/entertainment/music/wilco-s-heavy-metal-drummer-glenn-kotche-can-play-quietly/article_2e59b867-b35a-5a2c-9b2c-ca000741561d.html

The Current will live broadcast Wilco's set at Hall's Island on-air and online. http://www.thecurrent.org/events/2016/8/20/1513/wilco-and-kurt-vile?WT.mc_id=02ff3195c0f2aa4177b9b1a1f3c4afaa

Except for the Schmilco twofer in there.

Has anybody hear of this being done before? I have to admit that I don't really get it. Are people just going to stand around the record store or wander around while the music is played? I can't think of a time where I've been standing up concentrating on music. I'm usually either seat (car seat, couch) or out getting exercise/commuting. What will these listening events be like? Is there a host?

Wednesday at Euclid Records. In-Store. "This Wednesday, Aug. 17 at 3pm, Wilco stops by Euclid Records (Jeff’s former employer) in St. Louis for an in-store performance and signing before their show at The Fabulous Fox. First 150 to preorder "Schmilco" at Euclid will receive a guaranteed-entry wristband." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any chance you can post the entire article? Looks like one as to create a user ID to access and I don't want to do that...

Didn't want to start a new thread so I'll post in this ancient one. Leroy Bach is the producer on the new album by Ryley Walker titled Golden Sings that Have been Sung. I wasn't aware he was in the producer game. Good for him. Greg Kott mentioned his production and seemed to give the album a positive review in the Chicago Trib today. A little more I found on Ryley's bandcamp site: Ryley had been a long-time admirer of sometime Wilco multi-instrumentalist LeRoy Bach. Back in 2009, still in his teens, he had frequented the improv nights hosted by Bach at a restaurant/gallery space called W

Whitney has been getting praise from Jeff and John recently. They'd be good.
