I just finished a sci-fi book called Project Hail Mary last night. One of the better sci-fi books I've read in several years. I appreciated they used real science in a plausible sort of way.

AppleTV is great. I definitely think the storytelling is better on there than a lot of the other services at the moment. I really enjoyed Severance (though, it does start sow, and is pretty dense, so you really need to watch it without distractions. It took me 3 tries to get into it), Shrinking is a great comedy, and Harrison Ford is excellent in it, Ted Lasso is another really great feel good comedy.

This was such a great listen. Jim comes across as a really warm and kind person. It made me happy he said "Hell Is Chrome" is his favorite Wilco tune.

This is how I feel about the Beatles too. They're *the* reason I love music so fiercely. In fact the reason I picked up a guitar was seeing them on TV and telling my dad "I'm gonna do that, look how much fun they're having". I'll need to watch those McCartney interviews... forgot they were on there!

How exciting to see Wishful Thinking on a set list! Hoping it sticks around for a show or 3 in a couple weeks

Heard "Outtasite (Outta Mind)" checking out at Trader Joe's yesterday. I audibly gasped and the cashier said, "Are you ok?" I said "This is Wilco on the stereo. They're my favorite band!!" and she said "Oh I know Wilco." and then I said "They're coming here May 11. You should come to the show." I hope she does. I'm pretty sure she thought I was crazy though...

So exciting, and I hope you have an excellent time! I can't wait for our run of shows to start next week in Birmingham.

AM was the first Wilco record I heard, though admittedly it wasn't until 2001. I was in eighth grade and very vividly remember begging the band teacher Ms. Brown to let me use the CD player in the band room to listen to the majority of it (having been lent AM, Being There, Anodyne, Trace and Straightaways from another teacher) during "home room". She let me play it super loud too, and didn't even flinch at the lyrical content of "Passenger Side" being played at school. I spent the rest of the afternoon when I got to my grandparent's making tapes of the CD's off my uncle's

Less than a month until tour starts! I'm already debating what shoes to wear. Any guesses on what song they'll open with? I'm thinking "At Least That's What You Said".

Zoo animals have bed times to keep! Can't have a grumpy giraffe or capybara because they rocked too long.

Listening to the version on Apple Music now. Is the regular record remastered at all? It sounds the same to me. The SOMA tracks are really neat to hear. Hopefully going to buy the CD version next payday. The vinyl is just too spendy for me now. Plus, the CD's will get more play in the car. edit- SOMA version of “Less Than You Think” sounds like it could fit in the hootenanny style stuff they did back 10 years ago at shows. No drone to be found. also digging the guitar heavy “Late Greats” from the SOMA stuff too. Reminds me of the way they were pla

I’m leaning that way. We’re taking the whole day off for show days (some are weekend, thank goodness). I wish you could come to some of these shows!! It’s been too long!

I know this forum doesn't get the same frequency of traffic as the Facebook group, but I thought I'd star a conversation over here anyway. What's the GA protocol for shows these days? The last time I saw Wilco in a GA setting was in Atlanta in 2016 at the Tabernacle. I don't remember how long we waited before doors. 4 or 5 hours maybe? Y'all think that's overkill for these bigger amphitheater style venues for the Southern spring run? 3 of the 6 shows we're going to are GA (luckily not one after the other!) so I'm trying to start planning our itinerary.

Me and Matt are going to Birmingham, Nashville, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Asheville and Louisville. I'm absolutely thrilled they're coming back to Chattanooga and doing a proper headline show. They came through here in 2021 for the Moon River Festival, but it was only an hour and a half set being a festival. The only other headline show Wilco has played in Chattanooga was back in 1999 at this warehouse place called The Bay that was more notable for hardcore scene gigs back in the day... I didn't go to that show cos I was 11 at the time, and still 2 years away from discovering Wilco.
