  1. Here’s a little blurb that’s different than what’s on the Wilco store. It mentions the chronology of the SOMA sessions and the Sear Sound sessions. I pulled this press release from the Bull Moose Records link for the 9 cd box set. : This 9CD box set features the original studio album plus alternates, outtakes and demos; the complete October 2004 concert at the Wang Center in Boston; the complete Fundamentals, all housed at the back of the 48-page full-color hardcover book [with previously unpublished photos and a new in-depth recording history of the album by Grammy winning writer
  2. 👋 I was at that show at the Wang. I wonder if Jeff’s banter with the crowd after She’s A Jar will be included. Not to cause any controversy, but I’ll explain the story. The crowd applauded really loudly when he played the harmonica parts. After the song, Jeff said something along the lines of “You kept applauding each time I played the harmonica.” Crowd laughs. “Do you think that I’m not musically gifted enough to play the harmonica?”. Crowd laughs. “Do you think I’m ret$&:;ed or something?!” Crowd laughs. Anyone else that was there remember this? That’s the only thin
  3. Amazing find! I always tend to forget to look at Reddit for such leaks. Always awesome to have a show you went to get an official release!! I was at that Wang show in Boston in 2004! Spent the weekend seeing Wilco all over Massachusetts. Friday night at the Wang Center in Boston. Saturday night at Shapiro Gymnasium in Waltham on the Brandeis University campus. Sunday night in Northampton at Calvin Theater. 3 amazing shows! Can’t believe it’s already been 20 years.
  4. Fellow VCer Col. Hapablap sent me a message shortly after midnight EST that Australia had an unreleased version of Handshake Drugs on Spotify today. I decided to look it up on iTunes and I was shocked to see a track listing for the AGIB deluxe edition. Still trying to absorb the tracklist. Entirely possible that there are more tracks in a potential boxset. Anyways, iTunes lists February 7th as the release date. You can enjoy the unreleased track via YouTube.
  5. I’d like to add that there hasn’t been an official announcement yet either for U2’s 20th anniversary for How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb which is supposed to be due on November 22nd. Rumor is that it’ll be announced on the 1st of next month. [Edited to add recent info: announcement has been pushed up a few days to tomorrow the 26th.] Some other releases that have just been announced by artists that I follow: The Cure finally announced their long awaited album last week for November 1st. St. Vincent’s Spanish translation of All Born Screaming was announced last week for November

Impossible Germany KC Rain You And I Don’t Forget Evergreen You Are Not Alone I’m The Man Who Loves You There was a backstage livestream before the show on Jeff’s SubStack via the app that I don’t think anyone had any luck catching,
  7. https://northerntransmissions.com/wilco-hot-sun-cool-shroud/ This article has a detailed breakdown of every song on the EP. I did some digging for the lyrics to Annihilation and found them out there in the wild and it looks like a song that he debuted on The Tweedy Show. I’ll leave a little list here of the 4 songs that were debuted on The Tweedy Show, most likely in an earlier incarnation. Hot Sun was performed on Episode 167. Say You Love Me was also performed on Episode 167. [if you go to the 20 minute mark of the episode, you’ll be ab
  8. The Tweedy Show Episode 223 Monday April 15, 2024 Largo Los Angeles Jeff Tweedy solo —Susie and Sammy are there waiting for Jeff to come out to play. [There’s only about 2 minutes of the pre-show music, so don’t skip ahead too much.] Less Than You Think One Sunday Morning “Feel Free” [untitled new song that features Jeff mentioning John & Paul and Mick & Keith and Born In The U.S.A. The line ‘feel free’ is repeated multiple times in a call-and-response manner, where Jeff will sing ‘feel free’ and respond with some lyrics.] Orphan Ashes
  9. The Tweedy Show Episode 222 Monday December 4, 2023 Sky Blue Sky Jeff Tweedy (and Friends) at Heaven Beach A Robin Or A Wren (partial) Natural Disaster — Jeff quips “This is my side hustle…I was going to take some Uber shifts, but I started a band”. Opaline Summer Noon — Jeff explains how earlier in the day he accidentally texted Salman Rushdie “to go into the ocean”, instead of Susie. Gwendolyn — Jeff talks about the new song that he wrote with the lyrics “die on the beach in the sun”, but they were not able to prepare it in time.
  10. I am only adding the image below to show that the post doesn’t mention that Indiana show. And that’s the first mention on social media of the 2 NJ shows. Entirely possible I missed the email announcement(s) in my search. All good! Well done, Nugs! Keep the shows coming!
  11. Boy, am I glad you asked! Ha! Who else would keep a list around here? 🤦🏻‍♂️ Here is an ongoing list that I culled from Nugs.net’s emails, Facebook & Instagram posts. I’m only missing 2 months (Jan/Feb 2020). For some reason, there’s no information to be found for those two months. It’s entirely possible that there is an error in my March 2020 listing which has both 2010 Montclair “An Evening With” shows released on the same day. You’ll also see in my notes when it switched to a quarterly thing. Wilco Nugs.net Front Of House Series
  12. The Tweedy Show Wednesday November 29 Episode 221 -- Spencer holds Basil and Susie introduces Jeff, Danny Miller & Sammy. -- Jeff has a new pair of clear frame glasses which Spencer picked out. Jeff says that he doesn't think that he's going to wear them all the time. How To Fight Loneliness -- Susie says that it's been 4 months since the last episode. -- Jeff mentions how he has met some of the clients over the past year at shows and his book tour. -- Danny's favorite movie of the year is the French film Anatomy Of A Fall. Jeff makes a snoring sound and Danny changes his
  13. I had the absolute pleasure of seeing this masterpiece in IMAX today. I was only 6 when it came out, so huge thanks to A24 for bringing it back! I hadn’t watched it in a long time, so that was nice. Run to it! At my local megaplex, it’s sharing the IMAX auditorium with Barbie this weekend and The Creator is coming on Friday the 29th in IMAX, so it looks like a 1 week IMAX engagement around where I am. However, it is getting a wider release on the 29th on regular screens, as I’m sure you’ve read. Nice to check something off the bucket list…
  14. I just read that they did perform I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For in between takes of the new song. I guess that music video was filmed on the same exact street: Fremont. Looks different, but I guess that’s what 36 years does to a place like Vegas… I also found out that those were paid extras to be in the crowd. Not sure if they were told to take out their smart phones to make it look authentic.
  15. Yeah, very interesting. The song is in the same wheelhouse as The Miracle Of Joey Ramone, but I like this tune a bit better. Looking forward to hearing the single without all of the audience noise.
  16. As I was about to reply to you, I was perusing FB and saw a YouTube video of U2 (with Larry!!) performing a new song, Atomic City, on Fremont St in Vegas last night. Looks like it was a music video shoot. Wow! This is getting odd. Larry is there for the music video shoot. Hmm. One of the dirty rumors from this past year was that Larry had already left the band, but the fans didn’t realize it yet. This must be mostly PR to keep things looking like everything is ok for a potential 2024 tour that would feature Larry. https://youtu.be/yG6nhiBs6Lk?si=sJIsFAwrycUiMFun

  18. Well, I’ll bring some good news…a rumor recently surfaced about a new U2 single that is set to drop on September 29th (the opening day of their Las Vegas residency at The Sphere). I’ve read that the band (minus Larry Mullen, Jr.) arrived in Vegas the day after Labor Day to begin rehearsals and are traveling to Los Angeles after rehearsals to finish up mixing this single. Good news: Larry recorded drum beats to use for future recordings, before he had his surgery, so he should be on this. The (sorta) Bad News: U2’s Instagram story a few weeks ago had music that sou
  19. I found out 2 nights ago through the YouTube comments of the Space Invader video that Laugh Track (their next record) was due out sometime this month. Maybe even as soon as next week. Could it be true?…I saw that they were road testing a bunch of new songs this past summer. And I had read that they recorded enough tunes for another record. As I was checking Google for tonight’s setlist, it looks like they announced the new record at tonight’s gig. And it’s coming digitally late Sunday night/early Monday morning. Awesome! Really nice looking setlist you got! All of High Viole
  20. It’s entirely possible, but I think it’s more of a case of Susie asking Jeff what the name of the song was and him saying something like “I haven’t decided on Child Soldier or Soldier Child yet.” The lyrics go “I fought like a child Soldier fights to forget What it’s like to be home.” , according to WilcoWorld. I can see from the lyrics how it could have gone either way, but I also haven’t listened to the two Tweedy Show versions in a bit either. Possible he flipped “child” and “soldier” in the lyrics.
  21. Very nice catch! You know I had a hazy memory that he did do Soldier Child twice, but on Monty’s list it’s only listed once as Soldier Child for episode 217. The funny thing is it’s on his list as Child Soldier for episode 175 (like you noticed) which is how it is in my notes, but I haven’t searched for it like that because I totally forgot about that. I’m guessing Jeff called it Child Soldier the first time that he played it and/or was also considering calling it Soldier Child. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Feels like that first time he did it was 5+ years ago and not 2. I’m considering doing a deep dive i
  22. Grazie! How is that group? Have there been concert reports/photos from the first couple of European shows on there?
  23. Excellent breakdown! This helps a lot! But I want to mention that he did do Pittsburgh (episode 183) and Soldier Child (episode 217) on The Tweedy Show. Thank you for the kind words!
  24. The full Uncut review of Cousin has been posted over in the FB group via Fiona Ev (not sure if she’s in here) in the UK. It’s an extended review of the one that Blackberry Rust posted a couple of days ago. It gets tough to read near the crease. Tom Waits is on the cover. I think this issue hits the States next month. I haven’t been to a Barnes & Noble recently, so I’m not sure which issue they have out right now. If it helps, this issue is dated as October. edited: You might as well skip down to Vince’s reply with the much better & smoother pic and avoid the neck
