Oh phish, I think you are missing out. Remember this was when Glenn first joined the band, so I always think of this as Jeff's homage to Glenn, even if it was written before he joined or by someone else.

......drew me in literally from the first musical notes. ......made me become a Wilco fanatic after being an REM fanatic for 15 years. ......restored my faith in rock and roll. ......introduced me to Jesus, etc., my favorite song since So. Central Rain.

Below Mandy Moore but above Joss Stone....

....I first played for my fiancee while we played a few games of Scrabble one Saturday afternoon and reminded her of Don Henley.

Don't know if this was posted last weekend, but Wilco was in last week's Entertainment Weekly in their article 100 people we love or something like that. Another photo of the band and a short article.

Does someone have a copy of that "semi-famous" op-ed from Hornby? I never heard/read about it.

I wonder if it will go up at all while they are touring in the US.

Does anyone else get the sense that ALTWYS has been dropped from the regular set list?

Anyone know if the article made it into the print edition? If you notice in the photo accompanying the article, Mikael and Glenn are in the background of the pic, but the caption only mentions Nels, Jeff and John.

You should still write to him and ask. The worst thing that can happen is no reply. Maybe he'll answer back! If you did a private beach in Michigan, you could have him do Spiders. ;-)

Where are you getting married? It might help if they aren't touring and you're getting married close to Chicago. I agree with the earlier commenter: maybe you could have him do 3 songs, because otherwise his performance would get more attention than the wedding.

As of this writing, my fave is probably Walken.

I'd be glad to explain to you the relevance to this board of Wilco appearing on a nationally televised music program versus them going into space. They have appeared on ACL and they have appeared on a couple of live radio programs to perform their music. I guess I'm naive enough to think a programmer at MTV might be willing to listen to a few cards and letters sent in by members of this message board if we encouraged MTV to have Wilco on.

How is this a non-Wilco related post? The fact that Wilco is NOT a part of the announced lineup but should be is why it is a Wilco related post. And yes, I'm aware that the Police and JM have slightly more fans. It's not really a popularity contest though is it?

http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/20...ged_N.htm?csp=1 I think VC should start a campaign to lobby them to bring on Wilco. If they can have the Police and John Mayer, why not Wilco?

I just checked out Amazon: SBS is still at #17 while Linkin Park is below them at #25!

I want to say they performed "I'm a Wheel" after AGIB came out.

Me too. The song is incomplete without the "whoo oooh's" toward the end. I definitely need to get me some more live versions of this song. Candyfloss is also underrated IMO. I would love to know how they created that guitar sound in the song. Plus it sounds like an early Elvis Costello song to me.

They have been pretty good about "No Repeats" for their televised appearances. Since they performed The Thanks I Get on Conan last year, I guess I would be surprised to see it played again, especially since it's getting its own commercial play now.

I say it will be one of the following 3 songs: 1. Hate it Here 2. Walken 3. Shake It Off

How did you go about securing a meeting with the band?

Giants vs. Red Sox AND a Wilco Webast. What a wonderful world.

Are people still hearing "What Light" on the radio? I don't really listen to FM radio myself, so I am just wondering if SBS is still getting much airplay a few weeks after the record coming out. I have to plead ignorance about the rules of radio play: does the band approve what songs are released as singles or can a radio station on its own play whatever they want from SBS?

I agree that the KT version of Jesus, etc. has alot of layers. Just not the ones (mainly the strings) that are in the studio version which make the song for me. Maybe flat is the wrong word. It's one of my all-time favorite Wilco songs, and I would be miserable if they didn't play it live; I guess like someone was saying about IATTBYH, it's pretty much impossible to create some of the textures found in the studio version during a live show. I have some versions where they brought a strings player, but it's still not as good. In thinking more about this since I first posted, Theologians is

Clearly, I don't watch nearly enough TV. I have seen the commercial exactly once, during Memorial Day Weekend. Not once since then. What stations am I not watching?
