Wilco75

I wonder if Mr. Browning had a prediction that'd the new album would be called "ode to joy"?  

I was excited by the this news from blowitoutahere! like wow can it be true until I seen the release date 12/31/2025 then I was bummed out again!  

So happy to get this, in fact it is a dream come true, like most I have heard a lot of these, but at least their from a real compilation and put together by the band because i'm too lazy to look for these songs and put them together myself! lol 

I think you have to really be on acid to enjoy most of their work! lol

Will the airline to heaven be the same as the Jesus' son soundtrack?

I'd been looking for it all morning!

Yep, me too! in was in my dreams all night!

Proceeds go to Sandy relief!

Cool! Can't wait!

So what do we call kiss? Grandpa rock?

The original Man in the sand dvd had some billy bonus tracks on it, like five i think, i'll have to check,i liked,"she came along to me demo", too bad it wasn't on disc three.

Recieved mine today as well, alittle surprised this morning, glad it's here,nice little box set. still hope for a vinyl copy though!

Has anybody here pre-ordered from Nonesuch? If so, has anybody gotten any email on their order status yet? Saturday's almost here, and i thought that they would've sent it out by now.

I pre-ordered from them as well, but no word, or email,sometimes it happens, and you are loved, and then your not loved.

From levon's website, his family issued a statement saying he's in his final stage of cancer, this is very upsetting for me, i loved his last two albums, such a damn shame!

^{I went with nonesuch, regular standard shipping is free, the total was $36.00, i was sold on getting the mp3's included on the day of release and the exclusive print. not a bad deal with this bundle.}

^{On the acclaimed Mermaid Avenue albums, Billy Bragg and Wilco put music to lyrics by folk legend Woody Guthrie for which he had not written music or made recordings. Tweedy and Bragg were "the perfect pair to conclude that Guthrie ... was a prophetic rock-and-roller with a whole lot to say," said the New York Times. On April 21, Nonesuch will release Mermaid Avenue: The Complete Sessions, which includes the original two volumes of Mermaid Avenue (the second re-mastered); a third volume with 17 previously unreleased recordings from those sessions; the 1999 documentary on the sessions, Man in the Sand; and a 48-page booklet with new liner notes by Nora Guthrie, lyrics, archival photographs, and facsimiles of lyric sheets and sketches by Woody Guthrie. Pre-orders include an exclusive print of Guthrie’s lyric sheet for “Hoodoo Voodoo.”}

i bought man in the sand awhile back on ebay for $5.00, but it didn't have a original case with it.

when i first heard capitol city, it reminds me of something from yellow submarine,listening to the whole love, john's bass playing really shines, i'd place him up there with any of the great bass players in rock music.

I was reading this off the hollywood reporter's website and this caught my eye, here's just some of it here:

The previous night, McCartney and Shevell hit their share of Grammy afterparties, including Warner Music Group's bash at the Chateau Marmont. There, McCartney and the Mrs., who had changed from a red carpet gown into jeans and boots (McCartney also offered his jacket for the chilly L.A. night), were spotted cutting a rug on the dance floor to the tune of Michael Jackson -- Macca with fists in the air. Houston's breakout hit "How Will I Know" was also pumped through the speakers, eliciting the loudest cheer of the night.

After catching his breath, the two were later introduced to members of Wilco who were flabbergasted to hear from McCartney that he had watched their Austin City Limits performance on television.

anyway, that's all it had said, wonder which members of wilco it was? sounds pretty cool!

You can get "Dawned on me" (live in chicago) when you sign up for the wilco world emails, even if you already get them you can still sign up for the free download. just thought i'd pass it along.i found this on the wilco spinach site, where there are various items to click on.

I've have a blu ray player, that gets internet like you tube and i have my dvd recorder hooked up as well,so last night, i recorded the tiny desk show, it came out really nice and clear audio/picture. if it hasn't been done already, i can send to someone here and they can copy and pass it around. nothing real fancy just on a dvd+r disc. i played it back and it's really enjoyable to watch. anyway pm me and i can send it to someone. sorry if this is posted in the wrong area, it's been awhile.

I just heard this station on my ipod, bbc radio 2 89.1, today, there's a good special with mike mills of r.e.m. and it's a four part on glen campbell. i thought this was some electronic shit the british play.lol

I did buy mine at anti.com, i received the download perfectly, but had to return twice because of "one sunday morning" it skipped on the same part of the song everytime, rest of the album is flawless!(vinyl version)

Ok... So I preordered the digital download of the "Whole Love" album thru the Wilco website (which is the KungFu store). This is not the only album I have preordered thru KungFu.

 

However, *all* the tracks downloaded from the KungFu store for this particular album have a minute of silence at the end of each and every track!! I thought there was something wrong with the tracks and even burned two CDs trying to figure out the issue... Finally, I checked the time/length of each track against what Amazon has listed -- and each track from KungFu is a minute longer than it should be and contains nothing but silence at the end... WTH?

 

For example, "Art of Almost" from the KungFu store is 8:19 (which includes that minute of silence at the end). The actual track is only 7:16 in length.

The track "I Might" is 5:03 from the KungFu store (again with a whole minute or so of silence at the end). The actual track is only 3:58.

Etc etc.

 

Why is this? It's super annoying. I have to skip ahead at the end of eack and every track to get to the next one unless I want to listen to a minute of silence after each and every track.

 

Did anyone else have this issue?? Why does KungFu suck so bad? I had an issue with my Ryan Adams preorder with them recently as well...

 

ACK!!!!

This has to be wilco's next title"WTH?"

I just bought the lp version,but as i downloaded my mp3 copy of it, come to find out, as i looked at it downloading, it said sixteen tracks so i got the bonus tracks free i guess, which was nice, and i'm very happy about the album,it sounds so good, it's a really great return to form i think. been playing it over and over.haven't even received the vinyl yet, very looking foreward to it.

Katy Perry has a rack that can't be denied!

Don't you mean the lack of smells? That is a trait that must be a positive for a touring rock guy.

Yeah, with all that farting that must go on, i'd say he'd be blessed!
