  1. Maybe I am confused, but this is a fan forum, no? As a fan, I think it's fun to discuss where the band might go next. That's not dictating where the band goes next or passing judgment on what they've done before. It's just...speculation. I like the Wilcos and I'm looking forward to the next album. That's all.

  2. I have been absent from these boards for a while but the new Mavis album got me all wound up for Wilco again. That and Wilco (The Album), that is. I am so loving the new Mavis though that I am hoping it influences the direction of the next Wilco album. I'd love to see a focus on soulful, folky song structures and engineering. I am a bit over 8 minute drones. "You Are Not Alone" is one of the best things I've heard from Jeff in ages and would LOVE to hear a Wilco version of that song and more songs in that vein.

     

    What about you? Any guesses or wishes?

  3. If the band references in the TV show or movie make a bunch of people legitimately discover Riviera, then that's great. If it makes a bunch of people like one Riviera song, that's also great. If it makes people think they like the band based on that one song, that annoys me.

     

    I'll take any reason for people to like Riviera or to think they like Riviera. That band is still near and dear to my heart.

  4. Thanks, guys. The TV show was out of the blue. I think someone who works on the show is apparently a fan and used one of the songs in placement while editing and the producers liked it. Music Supervisor contacted us and they ended up licensing two songs. We make a few bucks and hopefully some people hear the music. I can't complain.

     

    Beltman, thanks for caring enough to post this. I am in Portland now and don't get back to your neck of the woods often but if this sparks a reunion tour you can bet you'll be among the first to know.

  5. Yeah thats the best part, you dont have to spend hundreds to get these on vinyl now. The originals will probably be collectibles for people who want to have them, I think AM was red with clear cover which makes it different also but I dont think the prices will stay as high for them once re-issues are out there. Although I doubt the original release was on 180-gram.

     

    I have AM and it is most certainly not 180 gram.
