    Oh Hi

    in Someone Else's Song

    Hey, Derek!

    Some old-timers showing back up at Obner, too.

    Were YOU Kiev?

    No, man. I haven't been on that board in years either. I'm feeling OLD SKOOL.

     

    Now, who wants to argue about George W. Bush?

    Mick moved out here a few months after I did and we reconstituted the band around the two of us: bass, drums and a multi-instrumentalist (pedal steel, lap steel, dobro, mandolin, etc.)

     

    Josh B. flew out this summer for our annual birthday show and so we had a crowded stage but it was a riot.

    Yeah, not the most uplifting song, is it?

     

    GLONO Records is on-hold for now and we just relaunched the site after an 8 month hiatus, so this EP is self-released. Why let Jake Brown take a piece of the action on this hot commodity?

     

    Thanks for listening and please share with anyone who you think might dig it. After such a long break we're just hoping to get people interested again.

    Hey all. Been a while but thought I'd pop in to let you know that there's a new Riviera song available to stream and download. It's from our new EP titled Watching Western Skies, due in January.

     

    Riviera - Hopeless

     

    For anyone who doesn't know me or Riviera, I am an OLD SKOOL VCer from way back when. Riviera has opened for many of your favorite bands, including Jeff Tweedy (yes, I know!), Son Volt, Califone, Slobberbone, Kraig Jarret Johnson, Hem and a bunch of others. We recently moved from Chicago to Portland and are having a fine time in the Pacific Northwest.

    Next Wilco Album

    in Just A Fan

    But you're happy dictating where this thread goes and passing judgments on its posts?

     

    I enjoy discussing where the new album might go too, which is why I am, see - but I think it's impossible for someone to discuss where something might go without bringing up where they are or where they've been. You agree with me, otherwise you wouldn't have brought up how you like W(TA), the Mavis record, and how you're over 8 minute drones. That's passing judgement, both good and bad, on what they've done before. I don't think anyone has said, "Wilco MUST do this" in their thread, but we've certainly posted the same wishlists you've put in your first post - it's just that some people's wishlists are different from, or the antithesis, or yours.

     

    The "you don't agree with me, therefore you must not be a fan, teehee" bit has been done before with the same results. People who like a band, nay - love a band, even - can dislike its present, past, or bits of each. That's like implying someone doesn't like a friend because of the things they dislike in that friend. If my friend wrote the songs on SBS I wouldn't end the friendship, I just might feign a cold on his or her open mike nights.

     

    You are delightful.
