The short answer is post count. As you post more, you will acquire more pips (those little dots beneath your avatar) and at certain post counts you will upgrade to a new title. You miss the Innocence? Well clearly you are no longer a newbie. Congratulations! I should add that the occasional special titles some longterm members have are awarded by our staff in certain deserving examples. They are a sort of VC honor, and only rarely given. An example would be JHamm, who has shared so many Wilco and UT videos with many members here. His generosity resulted in the title, "Smoky Mountain Vi

Is it worse than opening cannister biscuits? Because I have to make someone else do those.

See? A rich bubble-gum pink. I guess mine is the darker pink, but it's not at all neon hot-pink in color. It did photograph a bit darker than it really is. You must be right about the Rough Trade lighter pink then.

I'd have to get the lighting right, but I'll give it a shot. Maybe it'll look more like one of the two in the photo, when it's photographed.

Have you tried it yet? Mine's still packaged.

At any rate, it's a gorgeous color!

I got a pink one through Bull Moose, and it doesn't really look like either of those pinks....I thought at first I had the lighter pink one, but I just now pulled it out and it seems halfway between the two pinks. But darker, so maybe the brighter pink? In the photo, the darker pink looks like kind of a neon "hot pink", which mine definitely isn't. It's more of a true bubblegum pink, moderately dark. Maybe the colors don't show true in the photo. Either that or maybe I have a rare one-of-a-kind!

I'm closing this thread and starting a fresh one, since this has grown to an unweildy 69 pages and is 6 years old. Here's a link to the new thread: http://viachicago.org/topic/51910-now-watching-2016/

I thought we were about due for a fresh new "Now Watching" thread, seeing as the old one is 69 pages and 6 years old! Here's a link to that previous thread. http://viachicago.org/topic/44382-now-watching/page-69 Keep up all the intriguing recommendations! I'll need to live to be over 400 to view everything on my list, but keep 'em coming anyway.

Somebody recommend me a great book. Almost anything, fiction with a captivating plot. Go!

Dave, so sorry to hear this. I know you won't let it keep you down. Something better awaits.

My pink vinyl copy from Bull Moose arrived on my doorstep this morning! It is very, very pink. Happy Schmilco day, everybody!

It's the power of Wilco.

I think "lame" works just fine without being insulting. I think the listening parties will be a lot of fun.

Per a direct request from the band and as a personal favor to me and our staff, I ask that all our members refrain from any sharing of Schmilco, and that members report anyone who is actively doing so. We don't want to spoil any of the band's carefully planned listening parties! Thank you.

I think not.

This is GREAT!!!

The album shown at that link has only 5 autographs...where's Pat?! I have to agree. I'd rather wait and have a good pressing.

Happiest of birthdays, Jeff, for more reasons than I could count. Thank you for pouring your soul into your music and sharing it! Thank you for your big heart, your wonderful goofy sense of humor, and all the ways you brighten all the lives you touch. Thanks for being you.

There are several.(Not me though) Speak up, Aussies!

You two are getting me all nostalgic. I loved trading packages through the mail. It was happy mail.

THANK YOU WILCO!

Gorgeous ender. Whoops, spoke too soon! What a terrific set this has been!

Thank you, Wilco, for these long, long sets! Damn this "misunderstood" is pretty!

Hahaha, that did the trick! Thanks u2roolz...just in time to hear Jeff say goodnight. At least i get to hear Late Greats. Not like I'm Wilco-deprived or anything. I think we need some encores!
