Good catch! I've been meaning to go through Adult Head to see if there are any lyrics from the new album in it.

Pretty sure there's one that says "impossible Germany" in it ... but not the "Impossible Germany" lyrics.

A Ghost is Born

Man, they're really dropping the ball by not doing "Dear Boy" from Ram. I've always thought those backing vocals were done with Lennon in mind. If they can do songs of Imagine, they can do songs from Ram.

Well ... I have songs that are my personal favorites (I'm still holding out for the all Being There setlist!), but what I was curious about was what songs are most likely to be played. In other words, What would Wilco do?

It seems to me, from obsessively reading setlist, this last go around you were:

Guarenteed: IaTtByH, HMD, Shot in the Arm, Hummingbird, ALtWYS

Likely to Get: Company, Hell is Chrome, Airline, Theologians, Ashes of American Flags, Misunderstood, Muzzle of Bees, Spiders, Kingpin

50/50: Via Chicago, She's a Jar

Wouldn't rule out: Radio Cure, Passenger Side

Surprises: Future Age, Forget the Flowers

I'm talking about actual occurance, not quality.

But I just don't think they're going to be playing a 4 hour concert (as great as that would be!!!). I'm just saying there's going to be some tough choices to make. It'll be interesting to see at what point they elect to have the "greatest hits" tour if you will, opposed to going out and playing 3/4s of their new album + encores.

I have a feeling you are mostly alone in that thinking, especially the Summerteeth part.

Well, lately we tend to get 1 or 2 Summerteeth songs in concert, and approx half of YHF. Is it's because it's a better album or because it's considered more "career-defining?"

"Aged" maybe isn't the best word. I feel like AGiB will age well as it didn't use a whole lot of flash-in-the-pan gimmickery. But it seems like SummerTeeth often gets written off as their "digitally recorded" album.

I'm sort of starting think Wilco's career will be defined by their even-numbered studio albums. For me it's definitely becoming the case.

So, I have a hunch next tour we'll be seeing 60-70% SBS songs. What AGiB songs do you think will be dropped from the setlist? I feel like IaTtBYH, Heavy Metal Drummer, Shot in the Arm and Misunderstood are here to say, part of the "lexicon" if you will. But what AGiB songs are classics? I'm thinking ALTWYS and Hummingbird. Are we going to see as many Ghost songs on the SBS tour as there were YHF songs on the AGiB tours?

Bigger question. How is AGiB going to age as part of Wilco's catalog? It was my go-to Wilco album for a while, but maybe only because it was the newest. I feel like I already like SBS better. I have a hunch AGiB is going to be another SummerTeeth (i.e. not aging as well as the others).

What abou the leak? Those are demos, right?

side with the seeds

Yet another person here that needs a PM. Pretty please.

It was great! Thanks Wilco!

this is awesome

it says i have to enable flash media how the fuck do i get this to work?

Same here. I enabled it. Still not working.

I hate to be a buzzkill but me being me and always expecting the worst...do you think there is any chance this might be for a different Saturday night?

 

I hope you can all say I told you so in 45 minutes.

Well, is that page linked anywhere on wilcoworld? Then again, it's semi-secret.

where's the player gonna be? On the SBS page, Roadcase?

I was wondering that. Says later "this afternoon" ...

lay in some refreshment and dust off the headphones

I'm in need of an invite

Thanks in advance!

I hate how "dropped", has become the common term for the release of a new album.

I'm hoping "rubbed out" catches on.

1. Three Imaginary Boys Don't Cry

2. Everything else

Can anyone post Side With the Seeds, Please Be Patient With Me or Shake It Off? Thanks.

By the way, anyone surprised to see On and On and On make the cut?

It's one of my favorites of the new ones! 2nd only to Impossible Germany maybe.

I don't think I'll miss "Let's Fight" at all.

'You Are My Face'

'Shake it Off'

Hate it Here'

'Leave Me (Like You Found Me)'

Have these been played live?

I wouldn't call the leaked version "decidedly unmastered." Sounds pretty finished to me, though I'd like a bit more bass in the mix.

I think they're demos

Also sounds pretty awesome. Some great guitar on this record.

It's a grower. I'm really into tracks 2, 5, 6 & 8 especially.
