Hopefully they are able to at least announce a physical release by 10/23 so I know if I need to purchase the digital version or not.  I had to double dip on Warm to get the Warmer vinyl and I'm not eager to repeat that!

 

The Wilco store says, "Digital Release Date: October 23, 2020. Physical product (Vinyl and CD) to follow."

Fontaines D.C.'s first album

 

Never heard of these guys. Downloading now on your recommendation!

I get they are artists and want to always be creating and progressing but the results of that work is, for me, getting increasingly boring...  But it is a bummer for me if the live show gets increasingly filled up with mediocre songs at the expense of far better older songs.

 

THIS.

 

(I still hate SBS, though.)

Thanks for the review, Paul! Jeff was in rare form last night and I loved every second of it. It was great to get to hang out with some old school VCers again, too.

I ended up with 2 extra tickets to the show at the Clay Center on June 1.

 

Orchestra Center $110.00 $55.00  |  Row M, Seat 105 $55.00  |  Row M, Seat 106

 

Face value of course, but I'd have to meet you there because of will-call pick up.

Sending love and positive vibes to the whole Tweedy family.

I've got 2 extras for Wilco at Stubb's in Austin on 10/11. Face value ($50 each). I have printable tix so can email them. PM me!

To be fair to Speed Racer, her changing her mind about going to a living room show had nothing to do with Jeff or the music or even the LRS format. She was only there to hit on Esue's mom.

 

I can confirm this.

Bump!

These tickets are still available!

I've got 2 tickets I can't use for Newport...tickets in hand and can mail them ASAP. Paid $106 for the pair but just asking an even $100. Message me or email: sekidd at gmail dot com.

I'm scared to post anything at this point.

Thank you for posting this, Andrew! What a priceless experience.

(apart from the officially sanctioned Boney M)

It's cool, but the line to get in can be RIDICULOUS, and they herd you through there like livestock ...

This is true. You do get to see a shitload of tapestries on your way, though!

In Rome, don't bother with the Vatican (and especially the Sistine Chapel) unless you've been dying to see them.

I guess I'm in that group, because I could have stared in awe at the Sistine Chapel for hours.

Where?

Bull Black Nova isn't amazing or anything, but at least it's interesting. I'll take songs like that and Unlikely Japan (which I'd much rather listen to than Impossible Germany) any day.

 

i keep hitting repeat over and over and over. he is one of the few artists who it seems gets better and better with every release.

Is that a full-length album or a single??

 

Edit: Nevermind. Google is my friend.

Sprawl II is my early fave.

there is a glimmer of hope that it will be done again down the road.

 

Sounds amazing, as usual. Congratulations on the engagement, Ditty!! What a great time to pop the question.

P.S. I'm still available for lunchtime walking tours round the Tower Hill area tomorrow JT. Kids half price.

JT would be crazy not to take you up on this!

Where's Landon Donovan in that pic? Maybe I'm blind. I thought he'd be front & center (or right next to Clinton)!
