Great reply, and the kind of conversation that can be had here rather than on the FaceBook group where any deviation from the party line is a thoughtcrime. BTW I would say that The Whole Love is my favourite Wilco album - so I am not particularly one of the YHF acolytes, and Mermaid Avenue has some of my individually favourite tracks. Still waiting to hear a JT lead vocal version of the Unwelcome Guest some day. But then there isn't an album where I don't dislike something - and would struggle to list 10 albums by anyone where that wasn't true. I'm just very picky and have always wondered at f

You're probably right and I didn't give CC much time - I still haven't bought it after a few listens on Spotify etc. But it made little impact on me and I was yearning for something more upbeat so I've let is slide so far. I really do like country music too (apart from urban country or whatever it is called) and people like Emmylou are amongst my biggest faves, so that wasn't the issue. The tunes and lyrics just haven't clicked with me. Also no direct snub of Wilco considering I haven't bought any music for over a year I think (and that doesn't mean I'm pirating stuff). Suppose I just haven't

Indeed. The last 5 years of strummy strum strum has left me, well not exactly cold but struggling to actually remember any song apart from Quiet Amplifier. That may be also due to the onset of senility on my part though. I always admired JT for the melodies but they haven't grabbed me in that time. Evicted sounded to me like being on the path back to excitement but not at the final destination yet. This indication is much more like it.

Synchronicity. Have had that song in my head for the last couple of months and have watched it here ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001b953 ) on and off multiple times since. Really like that kind of harmony guitar sound later on in the track.

"Le Bon’s influences—among them the inclusion of saxophone, cheap Japanese guitars, and a cinematic, New Wave-style drum machine—drive the album into the future. " The WilcoWorld.Net page that started this all off is official now. Nice to have a Welsh connection anyway. Up until now it's just been Bryn Mawr and a Green Man appearance (bet Glenn doesn't even have a Welsh flag patch on his shirt for that). Hope she's got them all geared up for the rugby world cup next month.

Going to have a listen in a little bit, or may wait for some kind of official video. Meanwhile, first decent album cover for a long time.

P.S. I am just joking. No pressure whatsoever.

Ta and since it's the last one for a while: ta ra.

Ta and ta Tim.

In the absence of a report from that setlist guy today, I shall use it as the accompaniment to my morning cuppa. Ta.

You should be coming up for parole soon. Keep up the good behaviour.

I, I just can’t help it. It feels soooo good. Ta. Also ta to Jeff Tweedy if he is passing by.

An unadulterated ta.

Guffaw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4mC3Y4Dw-E

So he still has his ball in his hand?

Ta, as I've been known to say.

Not half way through the year and heychicken seems a shoe-in for this year's Via Chicago MVP (in the MWINB* category of course). * Member Who Is Not Bbop

No harm done - no one looks here much any more Nobody here but us chickens, to apply a phrase apt to your username. Hope this is out before August, as I've kind of got into a mindset that I won't see them live again until there is a more upbeat album. Hoping this is it.

Probably https://wilcoworld.net/music/cousin/ following the pattern for other albums on the website. The difficult 13th album . . .

Ta. Ha! Vicariously got Gun after mentioning it yesterday.

Ta Radio King Reminders me of the first JT solo shows I got to hear via traded CDs back in the day, when they were quite rare. It was all about songs like that, and Gun, etc.

OK, not worth a ta then.

Jojo Rabbit The Stones and Brian Jones Half way through each. The first is different to say the least, and pretty funny. The second is in contrast to the set of Stones bio-flicks last year that practically ignored Brian and Bill. Bill talks and seems to be involved in this one.
