Thats Me Beefing

That's funny White Wooden Cross and One and a Half Stars are the two that took the longest to grab me, I thought they were pretty mediocre on the first few listens. After seeing them both live now, I definitely love One and a Half Stars, and I like WWC more but it's still probably my least favorite on the album, it's just super basic imo

Yeah I actually wasn’t big on One and a half stars or White wooden cross beforehand but hearing them live and two feet in front of me gave me a new appreciation for them. And the rest of the songs I loved already, and were effing amazing, obviously.

I might have one or two out of order but it was def these songs An empty corner Before us One and a half stars Everyone hides White wooden cross Love is everywhere Hold me anyway SummerTeeth

Holy moly. That was a religious experience. I was right up front. I never go to these things where you get in a line crazy early or get first row anything, nor do I have any autographs of anyone. But now I have Ode To Joy and AGIB vinyls both autographed and I got to briefly talk to Jeff and the rest of the guys. Still processing all of this.

I saw that, luckily I ordered the vinyl/wristband thing yesterday right when I found out. It appears on the website that the wristband is just for "priority admission" and the record signing, but from what I hear from someone who called up there, you're pretty much not getting in at all if you don't have a wristband.

I'm actually going to type out the names since the abbreviations are making me have to think too much A Ghost is Born Sky Blue Sky Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Ode to Joy Star Wars Summerteeth The Whole Love Being There Schmilco Wilco (The Album) AM If Kicking Television counted I'd put it at Number 2 under AGIB. Freaking love that record

I'm going today after work to pick up the vinyl and wristband. The shop opens at noon on Sunday. I haven't been there since they moved locations, so I haven't seen the size, but I'm gonna try to get the skinny on what I need to do to be as close to the stage as humanly possible.

Anybody going to this? I've lived in Nashville for over ten years now, I've gone to see the band live at the Ryman every year they've come through for the past five years or so. I just found out today they are playing in-store at Grimey's and my brain almost exploded. It's free so I expect it's going to be crazy packed, and I've never gone to anything there with what I expect will be such a huge crowd. I'm going to stop by tomorrow to see if I can find out any tips that will help me ensure I'm not in the back of the room or anything. I'm totally prepared to go very early and wait. Also they ar

Well now after some time to digest I can say I love this album. The only songs that haven't really grabbed me are One and a Half Stars and White Wooden Cross, theres just nothing very exciting going on with those, to my ears at least. We Were Lucky is one that I thought wasn't super great on the first couple listens but it's become one of my favorites now. The two singles are fantastic and get stuck in my head all the time. And the first two tracks are just spectacular...they kind of outshine the rest of the album imo but not too too much.

I've def listened to the first half way more than the second at this point, due to starting the album over on car rides and whatnot. So the second half I haven't digested as much as the first. But man I love, love love Bright Leaves and Before Us. They sound like they are kicking off what could potentially be one of my favorite albums next to AGIB and SBS, but at the moment I'm not sure because I need to digest the rest a bit more. I didn't really vibe Quiet Amplifier at first but every time I hear it now I hear new things, and I'm starting to like it a lot. Everyone Hides it's just another ki

Just finished my first listen. I immediately know this is one that's going to take awhile to digest because of what's going on...which is exciting because the last few albums didn't hit me that way. I liked them almost immediately. This is giving me more AGIB vibes with the mood and the sounds that are going on. It's a weird place to be in where like...I'm disappointed i didn't connect to it straight away, but psyched that my favorite albums never get me on the first listen. So I'm hoping it's going to take that turn with a few more.

Does anyone know where to get mp3's of this set? I found the podcast where they aired it but i'd love to have it in my music library the sound is fantastic

The girl he called entitled was actually a different girl that wouldn't put away her cell phone during Kingpin. The one with the iPad didn't put up a fight like the cell phone girl did. Last year and this year combined, 4 shows at the Ryman, I still need to see At Least That's What You Said, Either Way, Sky Blue Sky, Pieholden Suite, Can't Stand It, Hoodoo Voodoo, Sunken Treasure, Theologians, Company in My Back....okay I think that's it. But in all honesty I can't believe how amazing these two setlists were this week.

You know I was in the balcony near the guy that Jeff was yelling at for saying "fuck you", and the guy actually didn't say fuck you, he said something that could be misinterpreted as fuck you from a distance but I'm not sure what it was. Kinda felt bad for the guy but then again it's not bad to have the story that Jeff said fuck you and called you an asshole The girl with the iPad aside, the other thing I couldn't believe is the one girl with the cell phone during Kingpin. Jeff asked her to put it away and she fought him for a good two minutes. He had to explain that he was trying to summon

Is Poor Places a commonly disliked song? The version on Kicking Television is probably one of my favorite recordings they have ever done. Theres something brilliant about that song, it's so simple but just...perfect.

I freakin love Walken. I'm in the minority though SBS is my favorite album. I love every song on WTA except Everlasting Everything. Granted all the songs are kind of stand alone, the album doesn't flow anywhere near as nicely as well...anything before it. I would shit if they played Country Disappeared at a show I was attending. I'll cross my fingers for the new jersey americanarama date I'm going to. Yeah, not gonna happen.

I could argue the case for newer Wilco all day, I absolutely love the stuff I listen to them almost every day...I check this board almost every day to see whats going on even though I don't post all that much. I just saw them last year 2 nights in a row in Nashville at the Ryman which is a small intimate venue and it was an orgasmic experience. I guess I'm in the minority here because I loved the last two albums and I think AGIB and SBS are the greatest records they have ever done...I'm curious the people here that long for the older stuff, do they mean the more alt country style Wilco? Or is

hot damn nels is on point on impossible germany in that video....one of the best ive seen for sure

oh and before someone rips me about loving AGIB and complaining about the ambient sound thing on YHF, I know that Less Than You Think is nothing but noise....It is what it is. I just think that some of those YHF songs were a little overdone after hearing the live versions of them now. Like Poor Places for example, when I hear that live I'm thinking "thats the way that song was meant to be" just opinion...don't hate

Thats not what I meant at all sorry I was trying to keep it reasonably short...I just had a feeling that Jeff was reaching for some kind of different sound that culminated with AGIB thats all..and thats just a guess. And i don't mean the songwriting...I mean what the songs eventually become. It's hard to even explain but I mean Summerteeth had great songs on it, with little hints of something different, special, unique. And YHF kind of went all out and they ended up with a brilliant record but just a tad overkill on the ambient sounds and whatnot. AGIB just seems like the perfect blend of thi

Am I alone in preferring new Wilco to old Wilco? It seems like most of the time I read this board alot of people are judging the newer material on how good it is compared to the older stuff. The only gripe I have about WTA is that it broke the pattern of every album being better than the last. Call me crazy, I know you will...Thats just my opinion though. SBS a AGIB are two of my favorite albums ever, from any band, hands down. The evolution of Wilco's music fascinates me. It seems like Jeff was reaching for something every album he put and he got closer and closer and it culminated in AGIB, t

thanks for watching everyone... thats me on the keys im actually the drummer in our group but i fool around with guitar sometimes and i just started learning piano a few months ago. i'm not very good it took me like an hour to record this without screwing up. my friend on guitar there was probably getting pretty annoyed. i thought it came out okay though i kind of sound like i know what i'm doing

My bandmate and I just recorded this video of us doing a Wilco cover. I thought I'd share it with my fellow Wilco fans. I was surprised that there aren't many covers of this song on YouTube...one of my favorites

Well my position of Sky Blue Sky seems to be an unpopular one. Truthfully depending on the week I sometimes consider it number one. A.M is a good album but really...I think it would be crazy to put it anywhere but last. I just don't think they had even tapped into the unique-ness that makes me love Wilco. There are great songs on A.M. but in my opinion the thing that makes Wilco special to me started with Being There A Ghost is Born Sky Blue Sky Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Summerteeth Whole Love Being There Wilco (the album) A.M.

The Whole Love at K-Mart in Nashville...multiple songs. They were playing that night so I guess they were paying their respects?
