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

Love you too Paulus! 🫶🏻

Almost nailed it 😄

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

Any updates? Pretty quiet on the Roadcase front lately....

Pittsburgh, PA / Jun 21, 2003 is now available.

Just noticed that both albums (WHIA + KATPA) are now (finally!) available on all major streaming platforms.

I was just listening to Love Is Hell, and “The Shadowlands” absolutely has the same vibe.

The inexplicable typo on the front cover makes you wonder how much effort they're really putting into these Nugs-releases...

I believe the festival already sold out in 2020, and I didn't bother chasing after tickets this year. Instead, I had some family duties to attend (on an Ibizan beach ). Hopefully the world doesn't fall apart again this fall, so the band can make a swift return to Europe after their US/CA dates. I wouldn't be surprised if they skipped The Netherlands after the Schiphol fiasco though...

Someone on the Steve Hoffman forums posted this last week. Surprised that it hasn’t been mentioned here on VC yet: Edit: wait, does the image work? I added it via mobile; I'll try again later when I'm home. Anyway, it's a snippet from a local Minnesota radio station that mentions a double album to be released next month. 987F4556-ED61-4511-AF81-F63B647D5471.webp

Aw man, I've been waiting for a proper digital (lossless) release of WHIA for years now, so I'm sad to see that it's vinyl only. Any chance that these albums will eventually make it to Bandcamp or streaming sites? I mean, they were freely available for years, so there's hardly any exclusiveness. Even an included download voucher would probably make me shell out on the vinyl...

Happy birthday VC + VC'ers It boggles my mind to think that I joined this site 18,5 years ago... that's nearly half my life!

Looks like they skipped the September release, or did I miss something?

When the band offered a free Vimeo stream of IATTBYH in May of last year, the accompanying website mentioned the following: We're now almost 1,5 year later, and I haven't seen a reissue yet. It would be absolutely fantastic if they included a Bluray disc with a deluxe reissue of the album. After all, the Mermaid Avenue anthology also included a dvd of Man In The Sand.

Hey Donna, great to see we share a common love for Basia Bulat! Would've seen her last month in Amsterdam and Brussels, if not for the damn pandemic.. Also highly favorable: Jenny Lewis, Christine Fellows, Kathleen Edwards, Dawn Landes, Meg Baird, Phoebe Bridgers, Amy Millan, Molly Rankin (Alvvays) and Lili Trifilio (Beach Bunny).

Ah, they're getting into Roadcase territory now - there were at least 6 shows released from that particular month. Hopefully next month they'll dig a little deeper in the vaults.

I hope this documentary and the RSD Palace vinyl reissue somehow triggers some sort of process to make Jay's last two albums more widely available. I know Kicking At The Perfumed Air got a limited CD release, but Whatever Happened, I Apologize was only available on RockProper - a website that has been taken offline long ago. Would be great to have those albums available on streaming services or Bandcamp.

Probably true - I removed the Amazon link. However, I find it surprising that streaming services apparently do not differentiate between official releases and bootlegs...

Looks like this is the same recording that has been available for quite some time now, both on CD and streaming services: https://www.deezer.com/en/album/11684506 Edit: I see that the new vinyl has a couple of extra tracks (Grindstone / Anodyne / High Water / Whiskey Bottle). Interesting..

I must admit that I've never heard of her as well (shame on me!), but that is a pretty decent cover!

Just compare Can't Stand It (from 0:38) to Locator (from 1:00).

Just noticed that the bass lines are nearly identical. Mind blown.
