    RSD 2024: The Whole Love Expanded

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    I can't find any information about a SiriusXM session in that period. Could it be that the tracks from that session (+ Cruel To Be Kind) are originally from the iTunes session too? If that's the case, the only previously unreleased tracks on here are the Rising Red Lung and Sunloathe demos. Not sure if that's worth the 80-90 euro it's listed for...

    If you can't open it here's a quote from the Substack entry:

     

    Today, I am almost entirely certain that this will be a double album, despite the usual warnings from the people with better commercial/financial sense than I — that double LPs are invariably more expensive and fewer people buy them. 

     

    This was published by Colin in mid October, and in December he posted that the recording process was complete. 

     

    "As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again", out June 14th.

    From a 2004 Spin interview:

    Quote

    Several of the songs on A Ghost Is Bornare the result of a process the band calls “fundamentals”: Tweedy played an acoustic guitar and sang random lyrics while the others listened in another room; the rest of the band then performed along with Tweedy while he remained in isolation (they could hear him, but he couldn’t hear them). These half-hour sessions were burned onto CDs; Tweedy would later listen to the discs at home and try to turn fragments into individual songs.

    The timing makes sense for a fall release. Hopefully this means we finally get the Wilco Book on vinyl.


    The Wilco Book CD is a compilation of the (12?) Fundamentals session recordings, right? Would love to hear more of those!

    The Decemberists are set to release a double album some time next year. That's at the top of my list right now. 

    Any source online? Can’t find anything about it (yet), but I’m very hopeful for a return to form after their last (mediocre at best) album.

    @u2roolz, your list seems to be complete. The first couple of FOH's were released in batches, and according to my PayPal history the monthly release cycle only began in March 2020, so that would explain the short gap.

     

    Somewhat unrelated, but 2023 seems to be the first year we don't get a brand new Roadcase release. Of course there was the 100th Roadcase celebration back in February - but that was a show from September 2022 - and they fixed the SBS22 releases, but that's about it. They played 71 shows this year FFS!

    Here's a still life of the little shrine in my home office:

    A few disclaimers:

    1) I'm very well aware of the anachronism in having a YHF cover signed by Mikael, Nels and Pat. Sue me :)

    2) The cover is actually empty and the radiator stays off most of the time.

    3) This photo proves that I'm not a graphologist per se, but rather a sharp recognizer.

    Wilco — 28 August 2023, Utrecht, The Netherlands (TivoliVredenburg [Ronda]) [Night 2 of 2]

    in After The Show

    Posted

    The Jeff-Nels interaction you mentioned actually started before the song, with Jeff hitting a completely different (rather false) opening chord and teasingly telling Nels “I changed that song… just now”. Then, after the song, someone in the audience yelled “NELS F’ING CLINE!”, hence the middle name joke.

     

    Regarding your first paragraph, the TivoliVredenburg website (still) notes: “Let op: Wilco speelt op deze avonden twee verschillende sets!”, which translated as “Please note: Wilco will be playing two different sets on these nights”. In hindsight technically correct, of course, but it did result in a somewhat tame and sedated crowd.
     

    Anyway, great to see that the Wilco extended family enjoyed their stay in Utrecht – which in my humble opinion is a way more pleasant city compared to the tourist hellhole that Amsterdam has become in recent years (“A different city”, Pat told me with a telling grin, when I catched him early in the morning on a stroll by the canal). But be forewarned, never call Utrecht a “lovely little town” in front of her residents, or you might actually end up with some (friendly) “boooooooos” instead of “uuuuuuuuus” – go ask Courtney Marie 😄

    They'll probably use the upcoming European tour to test the waters and play some new songs, like they did in 2019 just before the release of OTJ. Last European date is 9/9 and the American leg of the tour starts at 9/26, so my guess for a release date would be 9/15 or 9/22.

    Almost nailed it 😄

For announcement + first single I'm going with first week of July.
