Sorry, didnt mean to confuse anyone, just wondered where the talk of a double album came from ,and are there shelved gems I didn't hear. Jules is right, not enough here to fill a B side let alone an album. Just hoping that there is something they are cradling that didn't come out and that we can hear it eventually. The YHF era was championed by the master of leaks, Jim O Rourke, hoping some stuff being held back.

Let me know if you guys go. I had the same idea,and my wife said cool. She went to school for two semesters at Brighton Polytech, has friends with a huge house in Central London who said they would love for us to stay, and grab tix, so this could be fun. A Chicago Wilco contingent in London could end years of bad blood if we show them how to do it right. Let me know if you are serious, and these guys have room.

Underwhelmed Overall sounds like an outlet store version of Oskosh BGosh jeans.

Don;t even want to search for the cartoon that depicts the dbag saying I can't go to sleep now, something is wrong on the internet.

Thick being the operative word.

After listening to the deluxe version it make me wonder about the double album that was rumored about 6 months ago. Clearly there is the material. It sounds like it would have been more low tempo, but I am dying to know if there is an Art of Almost, I Might, Born Alone, Whole Love gem sitting on a shelf somewhere. The lack of demos, or at least my knowledge of a lack of demos, is far different from YHF. So much came out right after the album was leaked, then more when they signed, then at least four alternate versions came out. Dont see that happening here, but eagerly await hearing what

Yes, Someday, When Roger Fox Dogs comes out, and I can relive the genius with the songs I amTrying To Bake a Tart, Videostillshot, SIRIUS HEALING, Peace on Toast, Buddha, eg, Remnants of Canadian Symbols of Nationilism, School Band Oboist, Im The Dog that Obeys You, Throwing the Baby Out With the Dishwater, Wealthy Alcoves, and I've Got Groupon SAvings, I will like Wilco again. But until I am as smart as the people who tell me I am wrong, I love this album. One day, if I work hard enough, I too can be right, but until then I love the smile this album put on my face while i walk around being

There has to be a better way to do ticketing. i am convinced each day, the two presale days plus the general sale, were dominated by scalpers. Anyone how wants proof can go to ebay stubhub or other resale markets. One third of the entire seating area of the show was available for sale saturday night. One third. I truly appreciate Wilco's efforts but this makes me sick. 33% being scalped before general sale starts means that real fans will be left out. 1 out of 3 tickets were gone, and onsale online , before the general sale. Add ebay in and I am sure half were gone to scalpers before ge

Have to agree with not paying these dirtbags. They have software that beats captcha while I have to type nsider afglave they are already in picking their seats. Fudning these morons perpetuates the douchebaggery. The software they use is offensive, and the hassle itis to get a ticket is wrong. I am sorryI willend up missing this show, and truly apeciate every effort wilco made to stop these ass clowns, Can't argue with people who are going to stub hub, Wilco is great, but wont do it myself. I owould feel cheap, like I was violating the Wilco spirit, if I suported the scum. The money they

Listening to this song over and over and love it even more. There is a Pink Floyd, Flaming Lips feel to this, but it wraps up in classic Wilco style. I thnik this is the Fort Sumpter of this album, a shot over the bow that announces that the criticism is off base and welcome to Wilco. I can't wait to hear this one live at the Civic Opera in Chicago.
-
I can't find fault with this. I love The Whole Love, but the thing that hit me the most was the comment that you were stunned YHF was stripped by O'Rourke. I honestly thought those were his sounds, and a raw, almost accoustic album, was fuzzed up by a master. And I still believe that this is the Wilco version of the Brian Wilson vision of Smile. This album is a celebration, a sort of sonic smile to rely upon after the sonic shoulder to cry on, and when I listen to the album again this post will resonate in my head. Thanks for a well thought out jaunt down Wilco way.

Took my daughters, 7 and 11 at the time , to a jeff show 4 years ago. He has a way with a crowd when he plays by himself, almost like a teacher. He admonished a member of the crowd for talking during a song, used my girls as an example of how to behave to some nitwit who was shouting out Cubs rule,and on our way out a guy from the management company came up to them, saif Jeff Tweedy thanked them for behaving, and gave them a vinyl copy of sky blue sky each, two tshirts, correct size, a poster each, and tote bags. I couldnt hear what he was saying, I was worried he was a creep, but caught the

Should have tried frontgate maybe? Just saying. I will send you a pm. Great seat,row k, seat 103. I was able to put together a couple so I could take my daughter. Check out the seat on the chart, let me know, and I will meet you out front. I have to pick it up because thursday presale was photo id only. All yours if you think the seat works for you. Just let me know.,

and UIC was the venue they had to give away tix. My score of a lifetime was the winter residency package. That only because I spent money I shouldnt have on the whole package. Still paying it off.

I love the controversy and discussion. It would be nowhere near as engaging if this were a katy perry album.
-
If the purpose of art is to inspire discussion at the very least this album has earned the achievement unlocked status. A week or so ago I posted about how much I love this album and the comments were mixed, but the antil TWL contingent was far more vocal. And angry. THe more I listened to it, the more I loved it. I like it even more now. Some of the angry people are waiting for a remake of YHF. Wilco did that album, it is behid them, and this is where they are now. And I couldn't agree more, this is a masterpiece.

I forgot what I was reading on the site it reminded me of Spinal Tap Mach 2. If I had never heard Wilco I would have thought they were a jazz band playing sets on Saturday's in a Super Target parking lot. See Wilco, get a funnel cake, $2.00

They did do large venues in 2009. Caught both shows at UIC, and the second one had some empty seats. I am cool with the two ticket concept, and adhered to it. AS I said on other threads, though, I was counting on this two per thing benefitting wilco fans, not scalpers. Went on stubhub and and am disgusted by the four in a row packages, 8 in one box offers, etc. These arent the fans I was hoping would benefit. These are money grubbing swine. I really needed three so I could take both daughters, but like most on this board realize that if we spread the love by buying two more of us can go

I am still in limbo on a ticket I don't know if i bought or didnt. I go through the whole nightmare, typed bfsndne gabbler on captcha, get one ticket, go through the screens,get to the final one, and hit submit. Waited for three minutes. Got an email from ticketmaster, saying here is your ticket, but on the screen got a message there is a problem with your order. I got back in, got another, but gave it up when I realized if I did get the first one then I would be over the limit and lose all of them. The thing that makes me mad is I am not a scalper. I am a father of two daughters who lov

I got this also. Pissed. I would have tried for two. Ended up with two in row q, lower balcony. I have heard it is a very intimate place, no seat is a bad seat, but was shut out thursday, got one ticket and then two friday (got two at 10:18) and nothing today. I promised my two daughters i would take them. Something stinks about the ticket distribution. Wilco can only do so much, and I love the fact they take their fans interest seriously, but I think scalpers are always one step ahead. Sickby what I see on stub hub and ebay now. I wouldmuch prefer three tickets together, my daughters

Hope this was the minutemen version. I can hear mike watt in the back of my head.

Where Wilco was able to change and get better, the loss of Bill Berry was like a knife to the heart. Some good stuff after he left, Think At My Most Beautiful is one of the best and mos heartfelt love songs ever written, Berry, Buck, Mills, Stipe was the lineup that produced some of the greatest music of two decades. I think people owe them a huge debt of gratitude for paving the way for modern music. It is no coincidence Peter Buck brought Uncle Tupelo to his house to record MArch 16-23. I think he saw something of himself, and REM, in Uncle Tupelo, and gave them the cover to grow when t

The Vaccines album was good, first time in a while I was excited to listen to an entire album a second time. Heard Glen Campbell talking about Jimmy Webb in an interview and he had to ask who he was talking about. 40 years ago he took Jimmy Webb tunes and brought them to the world, today he doesn't even know his own work. This is a real tragedy, and in the end I hope people remembe Glen Campbell for who he was, or is, for that matter. A sad story, but the band plays on.

Can't believe it is 20 years since Nevermind and Ten. The first Pearl Jam song I ever heard was alive, but grew to love this whole album. Nirvana's album was great also. It makes me wonder, however, about the current state of music. When these albums came out it was the twentieth, or close to, anniversary of Sticky Fingers. I remembe a mention on a classic rock station, but nowhere near the hype we see for Pearl Jam, Nirvana, etc. There is a lot of good music out now, but few people are exposed to it. FM radio isnt he same, and limits what we hear and how we hear it. Same complaint I

Have to do the same thing for my daughters. Want them to see a great band before they get burned by inferior bands as they get older. I am working on finding thre or four together for Chicago on subhub. On presale best I could do was one ticket. Stubhub? Six in a row, in a box, 475 each. Pissed. Somehow scalpers can beat any safety measures put up. The two ticket limit, plus captcha, locked me out. It was the perfect setup with software to pop captcha did better than we did. Dirtbags.
