Pearl Jam.

I can only speak for myself as an ardent fan who goes to as many Wilco shows as he can but has never made this trip-- it is outrageously expensive for single-occupancy.

"Evicted" drops from No. 10 to No. 15 in its fourteenth week on Billboard's Adult Album Alternative (Triple-A) chart, and it drops from No. 40 to No. 44 in its ninth week on the Rock and Alternative Airplay chart.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I will pray for him.

It takes 50 Guided by Voices songs to fill 90 minutes.

What I find fascinating about the pared-down core set list is that it largely (not entirely, but largely) ignores the band's output from 2009 through 2022 (and, to a certain extent, much of 2007's Sky Blue Sky) even though the albums from that period are the ones that feature the current iteration of the band. In other words, when Wilco plays sets that are heavy on YHF and AGIB with the current lineup, they're a bit of a cover band. Having seen the band do a three-night, no-repeat residency only eight months ago, they still seem pretty good at executing an expansive and diverse set

As spelled out earlier in the thread, Triple-A is short for Adult Album Alternative. For more, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_album_alternative.

Pretty much this. I always have to remind myself that someone else is seeing "California Stars" or "Jesus, etc." for the first time and try to feel happy for that person while I silently complain to myself about having to hear it for the umpteenth time while fifteen years of their catalog remains largely missing in action.

"Evicted" drops again from No. 7 to No. 10 in its thirteenth week on Billboard's Triple-A chart (now one spot behind hot new hitmakers The Beatles), and slips from No. 39 to No. 40 in its eighth week on the Rock and Alternative Airplay chart.

Folks probably have already seen these things, which were linked to in an email from Wilco, but here are links to some recent Jeff and/or Wilco stuff: Extended interview with A.P.: (Note: I was watching this and a little concerned because Jeff seemed really jittery and almost like he was on speed or something... and then I realized my YouTube was set to 1.25x speed for some reason.) Wilco in KUTX Studio 1A:

It''s not looking good for Wilco to score its second chart-topper, as "Evicted" drops from No. 4 to No. 7 in its twelfth week on the Billboard Adult Album Alternative (Triple-A) chart. "Evicted" also falls from its heretofore peak of No. 36 to No. 39 in its seventh week on the Rock and Alternative Airplay chart.

"Should've Been in Love"! So good.

I have it on good authority that Wilco is headlining. Did anyone else get an error message telling you that you hadn't selected a country even though you had? This happened to me once before, either for the last Solid Sound or for Ohana in 2021, with Front Gate. I couldn't complete the transaction and had to ask someone else to buy the ticket for me. (Thanks again, coldasgasoline.)

The latest episode of American Experience, airing this week on PBS stations, is called "The War on Disco" and touches on some of what Jeff talks about here.

"Evicted" holds at No. 4 in its eleventh week on the Triple-A chart behind the abovementioned Black Pumas and Revivalists songs as well as U2's "Atomic City," and one spot ahead of the Foo Fighters' "Under You." "Evicted" moves up from No. 42 to a new peak of No. 36 in its sixth week on the Rock and Alternative Airplay chart. ("Under You" is No. 1 on that chart.)

They had also played it in L.A. at the first Bellwether show.

Just finished watching. Had to watch the World Series first. It was so much better-directed than the livestream of the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot 20th-anniversary show. Jeff's voice is still sounding pretty rough, as he acknowledged. I cracked up when he flubbed the lyric when the vocals came back in at the end of "Bird/Base." It sounded like he sang, "When the sun began to weave..." Thanks to the livestream, I was finally able to figure out what John had taped to his monitor: a lyrical cheat sheet for his harmonies in "Meant to Be." I had noticed this piece of paper at the shows in Sout

Wilco will love you, baby.

I really love that album. My only problem with it is that I got my copy of it on March 18, 2020, and listened to it every day thereafter for months, so it still kind of feels like the soundtrack of the world falling apart.

I can think of at least one: Pearl Jam. They released an album in March 2020 and, when they finally got to play a few festival shows in support of it in the fall of 2021, they came out and rattled off six of the first eight songs in the set from that album. On the first show of their proper tour in the spring of 2022, they played eight songs from that album. I don't know if there's any band of '90s vintage that goes as deep as Pearl Jam in their live show in terms of new songs and catalog songs. On their recent eight-show tour, they played over 100 different songs (and this is in spite of the

Not for the first time, Wilcoworld has the set list all wrong.

Is it true that records rotate in the opposite direction in the Southern Hemisphere? And, if so, do they all just ending up repeating "Paul is dead"?

That's a great recommendation. True story: in my post above, where I wrote "somewhere around town," I first wrote "at the Negro Leagues Museum" but was afraid people might think I was poking fun at the museum. I then considered writing "at the Jazz Museum" and "at the Truman Library" before deciding that specificity was unnecessary. I also strongly recommend the Truman Library as well as the Truman Residence in Independence. I actually didn't get to go to the Jazz Museum because I spent too much time at the Negro Leagues Museum. (They are in the same building.)

See now if it was a real soap opera, Taylor and Travis would have definitely run into Matty Healy of the 1975 somewhere around town and there would have been drama.
