So...Do we think the next headlining show (currently scheduled for June 1 in Charleston, WV) will start with Star Wars?

Here is what I can dig up anyway, probably not complete... 2016: Star Wars loses the Best Alternative Music Album 2012: The Whole Love loses Best Rock Album 2010: Wilco (The Album) loses Best Americana Album 2008: Sky Blue Sky loses Best Rock Album 2004: A Ghost is born WINS Best Alternative Rock Album ??: Mermaid Ave Vol 1 loses Best Contemporary Folk Album

Star Wars lost the Grammy to Alabama Shakes today.

CBS This Morning ‏@CBSThisMorning 2h2 hours ago TOMORROW: @Wilco joins us for a very special @CBSThisMorning #SaturdaySessions. Tune in!

Is this news? It just aired as part of the super bowl pre show.

I've been to too many shows @ Wrigley (PJ, Bruce, Buffet, BJ/EJ, FF). Wish they would do something else. PJ too.

Wilco

Thanks for posting. Listening to Misundersood now. they also play Joke Explained, RNG and A Shot in the Arm

Wilco in-store at @BullMoose (Scarborough) on Jan. 27 before sold-out @statetheatreME. Info: http://bit.ly/Wilco_BM

Looks great. Did we ever figure out what the first song was that Jeff played at second city? Could it be the same? The lyrics I was able to decipher, write down and post in another thread were "happiness depends on who you blame"

From Instagram: mikaeljorgensen@cassandracjones and I are teaching a workshop on animation and music production at @stanford over the next two weeks. #thekids

Also announced recently: July 4 in Ferrara, Italy with Kurt Vile Angel Olsen opening that WV show is a cool opener too!

Now on wilcoworld too. Interesting that the band hasn't played the state of WV since 2006 and now they have two shows scheduled for 2016. Go WV.

So, I work for the big beer company that just bought Ballast Point for a cool $1B. I'm curious if that that make their beers less appealing to you all. I hadn't tried a lot of Ballast Point prior to the purchase and am enjoying the offerings a lot. The price point is pretty aggressive! I could probably ask the same question to Lagunitas fans (just joined forces with Heinken), Goose Island, Elyssian and many others owned by Anheuser Busch Imbev.

Chicago behind the stage tickets are $168 after fees. That is crazy. I want to go to the show and would pay that amount to sit in a good seat, but not behind the stage.

Jeff (solo) 4/29 at Weill Center - Sheboygan, WI. Etude Education Group benefit. Presale 1/6 at 10am. On sale 1/22.

Coachella now confirmed by Coachella, Axl, Slash and Duff.

I feel bad for the guy that fellow human beings post this kind of thing about him. A posed picture from his 20's that was probably photo shopped compared with a photo from 20 years later when he is probably in the middle of entertaining a crowd and screen grabbed for the purpose of ridicule. I know pictures of me wouldn't be kind.

Yes - my New Haven tickets arrived at least a week ago.

I thought a thread was deserved to capture all the good the guys do for people and communities in general. Today's example: John is creating a playlist to support The Finley Samuel Special Needs Trust Fund. More here: https://www.youcaring.com/finley-samuel-490892

It has been 4 days since a Just a Fan post by anybody. Ouch. I did some digging to provide this update. Nels has European tour dates with Julian Lage lined up in February and March: Feb 16 Cankarjev Dom Ljubljana 17 Pardon To Tu Warsaw 19 Alter Schlachthof Wels 20 Jazz Club Ferrara 21 Pflegidach - Pflegi Muri 23 Moments Bremen 24 Blue Note Milano 26 Grand Theatre Groningen 29 Carambolage Bolzano March 02 Bozar Brussels 03 Bimhuis Amsterdam

According to setlist.fm, Jeff guested on Get Me, Tarpit and Cortez the Killer. I would be surprised if he didn't also guest on TV Eye and Heart of Gold, but not surprised if setlist.fm got that part wrong. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/dinosaur-jr/2015/bowery-ballroom-new-york-ny-33f2fc2d.html

I had seen some less than stellar performance video of a recent show. Really sad that we all are not surprised. Nobody was able to get through to him.

Wilcoworld now lists shows that I don't think we've mentioned on the board: Northside Festival in Aarhus, Denmark June 17,18 or 19 29 Oct New Fall Fest in Dusseldorf, Germany 30 Oct New Fall Fest in Stuttgart, Germany 10 Nov Le Guess Who Fest in Utrecht, Holland It will be interesting to see what else pops up in June/July in Europe to fill in the holes.

It was definitely that one. You are right. I just checked the lyrics. Now that first song, I wonder what that was...
