They didn't play Hate It Here.

The merch table takes cards too. FYI
In all the shows I've seen at Massey, including the last 3 Wilco shows, I don't ever recall that being the case. FYI.
Poster for Indianapolis was simple yet cool--it's on the Wilco facebook page and Wilcoworld's past tours/show details page for this show. No new album, but they had the I Might 45 and a good selection of side-project cds (Autumn Defense, etc.). Plus the last few Wilco cds, scarves, the dbpm yo yo, stickers, hoodies, and a few t-shirts with good art but very limited number left in several of the sizes (not sure why when this was 1st show of the tour). I'm sure there was other stuff, the above is all that I can remember. Prices ranged from $40 for the hoodies down to $11 for the yo yo's with maybe a few cheaper smaller things like stickers. Posters were $25. Hope this helps!
It does, thanks!

Anyone take a look at the merch table? Were they selling the new album? Any nice posters or new t-shirts? I'm trying to decide how much cash to bring on Saturday.

Has anyone received their tickets that were purchased through Front Gate Ticketing? Show is a month away and I was just curious.
The order confirmation said to expect them about a month before the show, so I would suspect they'll show up soon.

Hyperbole much?
If you think that's true, you:
1) haven't listened to much by the Dead
2) are completely unaware of the entire genre of Jam Bands
Either way, run along now.

You mean Jeff Tweedy, from Wilco?
My God, is it really? I'll have to watch it again. In my defense, I lost a bunch of CDs in a break-in about 5 years back, and I never got around to re-buying AM.

Haven't seen this mentioned before but I just saw a preview for a movie called Passenger Side that includes someone (Greg Dulli maybe?) covering Passenger Side. The credits also say that the movie features songs by a lot of cool bands, including Wilco.
Not sure who it is, but it's definitely not Dulli.

Was the (False Alarm) added to the topic title after it was started? It would be funny if it was Rolling Stone Cover (the false alarm)!
It was. If only I'd been that clever!
-
It's the Beatles.
Google Beatles 69, and the third image result looks rather similar.
Damn. I knew that polka-dot shirt looked familiar!
-
So RollingStone.com is doing their occasional bit where they tease out images of the next cover and ask people to guess who it might be. Today's clip has me thinking perhaps it's the band?
Here's both:
Maybe?

Word is a second show will be added on October 15.

I was lucky too, and got Row E, but, I'm not at all surprised that it sold out that quickly. This is the first Wilco presale I've participated in, but I work for a company the operates websites for a vast list of bands and musicians, and our presales often sell out pretty much instantly. You have to keep in mind that hundreds of people were likely attempting to get tickets at the same time, and that bands usually get 10% or less of the house to sell. Chin up though, there's still Ticketmaster on Friday. I'm sure you'll get good seats.

A Toronto show would be great, but another in London, Ontario would really be the cat's pajamas! When was that show at Centennial Hall? 2006?
Yup. Fantastic show.

I think many great albums have, but I don't think all great albums have intense conflict. I suppose any creative venture is bound to have some kind of conflict, but you seem to be pointing towards the dramatic kind. There are some examples of another type of great album:
Highway 61 Revisited
Kind of Blue
the Crane WIfe
Grace
the Argument
This Year's Model
Revolver
I'm not an expert on all of these, I might be dead wrong on a couple, but what I'm getting at are those great albums made by highly capable musicians with a camaraderie found by striving to make great art. I would like to think Wilco has been working with in that kind of atmosphere for the past couple years.
Did you really just include albums by the Decemberists and Fugazi in a list with Dylan, Miles and the Beatles? I'm a fan of both, but WOW.

Gross!
Did Bob Dylan die in '76?
What's he written since then that you thinks deserves a spot?

Nothing really bothers me off a quick glance. Happy to see that the Clash basically owned that list for whatever time period (they had at least 1 in each they were active), though there seemed to only be one Talking Heads song (Psycho Killer) which kinda sucked (Tom Tom Club made it though). While 'Guns of Brixton' is a rather curious choice given 'London Calling,' 'Spanish Bombs,' and etc., it's good that Pitchfork is giving the lesser known tracks a voice.
They really should have just put the image for In the Aeroplane Over the Sea under 1997-1999, I mean, that whole album is simply perfection. And I would have rather chose Staralfur off of Agaetis byrjun, but I can't complain.
I picked this up on the weekend and have enjoyed working my way through it.
There are a few Talking Heads songs on the list actually, though I can't recall what they are right now (I think "Born Under Punches" is one of them).
I found it interesting to note that, according to this list, Prince is the best songwriter of the last 30 years: He's the only songwriter with 5 tracks on the list (4 by him and Sinead O'Connor's cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U").

It was this very performance, part of the annual Much Music special Snow Job, that made me a fan. I remember that Sunday afternoon well.

Still waiting! Music Today sucks ballz.

I've only read one of the books, like I said. I guess I'm surprised that there hasn't been
a UT or Wilco book given the broad spectrum of books out there already in the series. I'm guessing
they don't sell alot of copies so whoever wrote it would have to do it out of love for the subject matter
and not be concerned with how many copies they sold.
I would nominate A.M., Summerteeth or YHF myself.
Though a Wilco book would be nice at some point, you might notice that very few of these books are about albums that are less than a decade old, as the editor of the series appears to be of the mind that there needs to be some distance from the release, to allow for the full import of an album to reveal itself.
Which means you might have a bit of a wait on a Summerteeth or YHF tome.

No, of course not. My point was that I know people who liked that Radiohead book.
And I, for one, hated the Neutral Milk Hotel book. Can't believe it took her three years to get that piece of shit done.

What about the one on Kicking Television?

Received my double vinyl set here in the UK. Came in this morning's post, in absolutely mint condition. It would seem that the best way to get good service from musictoday is to live outside of the US.
If only that were true. I'm in Toronto and I'm still waiting.
I called Musictoday tonight to ask about it and I was told that Canadians should expect their orders within 24 business days of when it was shipped. Which puts delivery at June 14. When you factor in the exchange and shipping, I've paid nearly twice as much for this album as if I had run around the corner to buy it at my local record store. And this is the result of trying to support the band directly?
Wilco Inc. should be ashamed of itself for aligning with a company that thinks this is good service.
Is Pat the new Jay?

He may not have done much on his own in a while, but he's doing just fine as a member of Blue Rodeo: http://www.bluerodeo.com/
