    Owning, Loving, Dominating Demanding Wilco

    I'll never understand why so many people on this forum are so sensitive to negativity. Entirely positive forums are worthless.

     

    I'm not sensitive to negativity. I just think it's a tad bit insane to speculate about how badly you think something may suck before it even happens.

    Owning, Loving, Dominating Demanding Wilco

    :wub

    We are on the cusp of a new Wilco release - something those of you who post on this board with a alert frequency bordering on the frenzy. Frankly, I worry that they can release the actual record at this point, mostly because so many have seen this event as an extension of Wilco: the Album. A record which all of you seem to have evaluated as a lie, a cheat, a crime and something that might be akin to Wilco actually having re-recorded "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Movie Soundtrack" and then holding forth for two weeks in Chicago playing it over and over and over again.

     

    I heave heard yet from the new record: one single: I Might

     

    I have seen shaky You Tube videos from Solid Sound: born alone, whole love and a few others - most of which makes me wonder whether the holder of the phone had polio and had been drinking for a week before actually getting to the show.

     

    And yet, so much negative grokking about a record no one has actually heard! The record will suck! It will be their best since (fill in the blank) but not as good as (fill in here).

     

    Has Jeff lost his edge? Why is Jeff not sad? Why won't he be sad so he can write with an edge? I liked it more when he had migraines (panic attacks) and had 30 minute torment songs about pain! Is that the thanks I get for loving you?

     

    Lord, have we not heard the Starship when they sang, "Fuuuuuck you, we do what we want!" My point is, please let's see what actually is on the record and enjoy for what it will be. Is it a double record? Possibly. A single long CD? Great! Full of pop songs? Cool! Are you along for the ride? I HOPE SO. And anyway, if this is the record they want to record, well.......that's what it is going to be! They call the tune and we follow or we can follow Coldplay. Your choice.

     

    I have my personal favourites and I am sure Wilco will challenge me but FUCK is that not what we ride with them to find out where they are going? There's a Coldplay record coming out soon (or at least I hear they are threatening to release something) so perhaps we can worry about what they are doing.......oh honey let's not get carried away......

     

    Actually there are many parallels with my days worshiping at the temple of the Replacements, hoping, wishing, praying they would not be taken away by the gods of suck and WHAT WOULD THEY DO NEXT? Well, actually, actually, they actually did nothing, Wendy, but we all grew up and got old. We all got old and are still marooned on the island of rock and we will NEVER GET OFF. We care a lot. But in this case, they have given so much to us already, let's let them breathe and when the record is actually released, let's enjoy it. Fucksake, it's POP. And Fountains of Wayne has a record coming out TOO! Hope abides.......................................................

     

    :wub This had to be said.

    I love Wilco and I like coming to this message board but then I always have to leave again because of the insanity that you describe. Thank you.

    Can somebody explain to my how WMG (I am assuming that is Warner Music Group) can own the copyright or have a copyright claim on a 2011 Jeff Tweedy written, Wilco performed song?

     

    Uh oh. I don't think I want to know what this might mean.

    Favorite Thing about Solid Sound 2011

    I think he's one of the guys that was interviewed in the program from the 2009 baseball fields tour. He did mention that it was his favorite song...and it certainly shows!

     

    We really need a shirtless smiley with those moves and the cowbell. Until then it will be this one :rock

    Wilco to return to MASSMoCA for Solid Sound #2

    Well, the weather certainly made things a bit damp, but overall, another excellent Solid Sound Festival! My only question/complaint, what the hell happened to the bahn mi sandwiches? There were many more excellent food choices this year, but man, I missed those bahn mi sandwiches...

     

    I missed those sandwiches too. Also, I stayed at the Williamstown Motel and they were very nice people. They also own Spiceroot, the people selling Indian Food at the festival. When we told them that we staying at their motel, they even gave us a free lassi. I just wanted to say, they were nice and the room was fine.

     

    Festival was amazing even in the rain.
