Probably not a secret any longer, but The Tweedy Show returns this evening at 9pm CST. Can you believe it?

Thank you for posting this!
I took a brief look at the lyrics to see if anything else was performed on The Tweedy Show. I think “It’s Hard To Get Over Being Used” is The Plains. That one was performed a couple of times, most notably on one of the tour bus episodes.
I’m also looking forward to some French horn on a few of the new tunes.

Any updates on the Solid Sound App? I downloaded it but it's still filled with 2019 doings.I don’t think it gets updated until a day or two before the festival begins.

Excited to see that the daily lineup has been posted! I'm hoping Neko Case will do a pop-up in one of the galleries. This'll be our 4th SS -- any advice on staying informed about pop-ups? IIRC, last time the app offered real-time notifications. And maybe some VCers will share intel on this board?
Counting down!
Yep, the app sent out notifications in real time for the Pop Ups. And there were several TV screens in the main building near the cafe/elevator that had all of the social media posts.

Stumbled upon what I believe is the first review….
https://americana-uk.com/wilco-cruel-country
spoiler alert (🥸): there are a lot of song instrumentation descriptions, especially ones that haven’t been played on The Tweedy Show.

It is with a heavy heart to announce this here, but we lost a fellow VC member and huge Wilco fan.
Dave Mirabella was a huge Wilco fan and one of the first members of the fan community that I had the pleasure of meeting. Paul Suwan being the other one. This was at the Jeff Tweedy solo show in Northampton, MA Nov 2005.
He was very prominent in the Boston music scene as the frontman of The Rationales.
Wow! I’m just stunned. He was performing covers during the pandemic via Facebook and taking requests. I know that he was at the Wilco show in Boston last summer because he took a great video of the Honky Tonk Women cover.
I remember him checking in recently on the 20th anniversary of this place just last fall. An Empty Corner was one of his recent favorite Wilco tracks.
Fucking awful news!
It’s a terribly cosmic tragedy to see social media posts about the new Wilco record and the outpouring of condolences for Dave.

I haven't seen all the new songs Jeff has debuted on the Tweedy Show, etc., but there was one that really impressed me a while back called "Sunlight's End." I really thought that would be a great Wilco track, but it doesn't appear to be on the list for CC. For all the dedicated Tweedy Show followers, anyone think there's a chance that one's on here under a different name?
Oh, it’s extremely possible. There were a lot of songs that didn’t have any titles at all and any of them could be on Cruel Country. Or any song that Jeff titled on the show could have changed names by now.
I’ll have to sift through them and look at the song titles that aren’t accounted for to see if any words or phrases pop out, when I listen to them.
Tunnel At The End Of The Light is another one that was great, but doesn’t appear to be on the new record. Not familiar enough with it to think of other wordings that it could be named under.
Yeah, Sunlight’s End was a classic one. I seem to recall that one being debuted at Danny’s front porch on their Los Angeles trip.

Hey y'all, I put together a playlist with all of the new album songs that Jeff has already played on the tweedy show: Wilco - Cruel Country Playlist
There have been a few demos/first drafts released on Starship Casual as well, for those who subscribe. There's a pretty well fleshed out full-band demo of Story to Tell, which I'd have to say is my early pick for favorite song on the album.
If anyone sees a song from the track list that I'm missing on the playlist, let me know and I'll add it!
There are quite a few more songs out there, but I don’t think anyone has extracted them from their episode to make a YouTube video.
I Am My Mother (episode 206)
All Across The World (episodes 169/179)
Tired Of Taking It Out On You (episode 213: Live At Largo)
The Universe (episodes 154/170/196: Live At Mass MoCa) [Paul Suwan said that this song was titled Say It Plain at the time of the Mass MoCa performance, according to the printed setlist.]
edit: David Handelman pointed out to me that I had All Across The World listed as In The Hurricane’s Eye on my episode 169 recap. Thank you!

Very cool. Although I am assuming these tracks will be on one of the 11 LPs in the reissue set?
I guess that seems 99.9% possible, but you never know.
Yeah, it seems like that’s an appetizer to hold us over until the deluxe editions are released.

It’s possible that this got lost in the YHF madness today, but the Alternate Take 7 inch is up in the store: I’m The Man Who Loves You/War On War.

I wonder if we’ll get the extended vinyl version of Pot Kettle Black on digital or cd. I believe One Sunday Morning is the only other song in their discography that has an extended vinyl version.

Colbert just announced after the band's performance that YHF Special Edition is coming September 16th.
Did the YHF vinyl that Colbert had in his hands look different to you? It looked like it was grey, but with no album title on it.

I missed this! What was said??
I missed it too, but Colbert just announced that the special edition of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot will be released on September 16th. 😃👍👍
The unexpected announcement came right after their amazing performance on his show. Should be up on YouTube relatively soon.
-
Heads up to the tapers that frequent here and might attend a YHF show: a potential taper with recording gear over in the FB group was told that “audio taping privileges have been rescinded” for this special run of shows. Good news is that it sounds like something might get released.

Just a heads up: anyone out there seeing the discounted subscriber’s price only on the Nugs site and not on the app? I’m definitely logged in on the app because I’m playing one of their shows. I tried clicking the price on the app and it still showed the $24.99 price. It looks like it was going to do the purchase via iTunes.
I feel like this was an issue back when the drive in shows were done.

Nugs will webcast Saturday's (April 23rd) Chicago show.
Thank you for posting this, since I never saw this when I looked at the email subject in my Inbox. That limited view only listed Jack White, Bob Weir, Jimmy Buffet and David Gilmour. Weird! Of course, when I actually clicked on the email there it was in big letters. I kinda figured that Nugs had to film at least one of these shows. Excited to see what they have in store.

Any word on what's on the new 7inch? I assume the alt take of ITMWLY that is in the Foxtrot X Wilco popup promo picture, but what's on the flippity flop?
edit: Wilco posted a pic on instagram. Alt take of War on War.
Bull Moose Records had a listing for about a month for a 7 inch vinyl release with the correct tracks, but had a street date of April 1st. I special ordered it from them and it’s in limbo. I didn’t get any firm details (alt takes) on it, until that IG post today. There’s a decent chance it gets released to record stores after the shows. There’s an even better chance that this listing was a fluke. We’ll find out…

A Robin Or A Wren (with Sammy on backing vocals.)That was a pleasant surprise to experience the whole show this evening. Wasn’t expecting that. Thanks to David Handelman for giving me the heads up! Thanks once again to Susie for streaming it to all of us! Oh! And a big thanks to Brian F. for taking a pic of Monday night’s setlist which had some of the new songs’ working titles. That helped me out on the third song of the evening.
I’ll go skimpy on the notes, since it’s later than usual. Plus, Paul should have a great recap coming soon.-

OK, will amend my not-yet-complete report from above. I thought I would have remembered "Circumcised," but I guess it was one of those songs that he played once after he had just written it. Those are the hardest to place off the top of my head.
Yup! It sounded like a fresh cut. 🥸
I’m in the same boat on quite a few of the new ones. I only remember the title.-

On Jeff's list, "Love My Country" was listed as "Choir USA." "Still My Mother" was listed as "I Am My Mother." Other unfamiliar (to me) titles included "Story to Tell," "Hints," "All Across" and "Tired of Taking It."
“All Across” and “Tired Of Taking It” do not ring any bells in my Tweedy Show memory of unreleased songs. The other ones he has played. In fact, he played “Hints” when John & Glenn showed up about a year ago.
If you’re interested in tracking those down, here they are:
“Love My Country/Choir USA” Ep. 146
“Still My Mother/I Am My Mother” Ep 206
”Story To Tell” Episodes 176 & 196
“Hints” Episodes 156, 188, 193, & 195
All of that info is on Monty’s spreadsheet that he’s been maintaining on a regular basis.

I guess I'll just start at the start for once, and that meant — as expected — a "new" song. As I mentioned the other day, Jeff seems to be in the mood to play a lot of his more recent compositions and he acknowledged as much during the show. The song he opened with tonight, which I don't believe he played on The Tweedy Show (though I could be mistaken), was an evocative one that opened with the lyrics, "I went out for a walk, looking for a light/The corner store closed early tonight," and also contained the line "That's how I knew he was circumcised/Standing naked in a buzz of a neon sign." Afterward Jeff quipped, "That's the kind of song I write when I'm not being careful. I didn't ask for that song, I didn't want that song...but I had to respond (to the thoughts I was having)." Someone asked him what the song was called and he said "Out For A Walk," but then admitted that it should probably be called "Circumcised," since that's the word that jumps out at you most from the lyrics.
“Circumcised” sounded familiar to me, so it felt like a perfect time to check out Monty’s list and he did play it way back on episode 182 in June 2021. Spencer even sang backing vocals on it. My brief notes have “it’s easy beginning when it’s ending.” as a lyric. Not sure if it popped up again under a different name.
That’s amazing that he’s focusing on these new songs in a live setting. I also wonder where this batch will wind up.

Smothered In Hugs (Guided By Voices cover sung by Sammy.)
— Jeff asks for requests from the audience. He jokes that they’re shitty requests. An audience member asks Jeff why he asks for requests. Jeff says to kill time, for human connection and to see if people know his songs.
California Stars— Jeff says that he knows someone who makes wooden butt plugs. Jeff quickly admits that it’s one of Nick Offerman’s bits. An audience member screams out that they wouldn’t want splinters which leads to a brief discussion about splinters.
