First time having a turntable for a new wilco album, for me. This thing with headphones is unreal.

Is the AGIB vinyl worth picking up? Is it a significant jump in quality from the cd?

I didn't know Sometimes It Happens is a cover. Jeff explains in the beginning of this video. Haven't heard the album version but I wish the vinyl would end with One Sunday Morning.

One Wing has always sounds to me like a song they wrote in their sleep. So run of the mill.

AoA is the second coming of IATTBYH for me.

I just got the email. It's legit, and I'm a little sad that I'm gonna miss it. Will be tailgating all day tomorrow and will be overruled if I try to stream it then...

I love tailgating, but I can't imagine a worse scenario for the first listen of a new Wilco record.

I wish I could hear this album before I read all these lame impressions form snarky bloggers.

I agree. Probably been addressed but how have they already heard the album?

It's also streaming for free on iTunes right now.

I'll always give them a shot too. I don't find their recent stuff to be bad at all, in fact I like the added attention they've given to production on recent albums.

Haven't given this too close of a listen yet, but John's absence is immediately noticeable.

My frequency of checking this board hasn't been this high since the brink of AGIB's leak in '04.

Snap. Didnt know you could have the same name on here.

Almost.

Looks like an incredible opener.

So excited for this! New Wilco!

1. Downloaded YHF freshman year of college the second I got an internet connection. Things were never the same.

2. Taping for PBS Soundstage.

They opened with the pre-AGIB version of Handshake Drugs.

Jeff was actually chewing gum during the performance.

When does the pre-order ship? I haven't pre-ordered from the wilco store before. Do they ship before its available in stores?

Can someone help me find an mp3 of this? I used to have a stream of it. Thanks!

If anyone's looking to get rid of 1 or 2 GA tix for the 6/23 Wiltern show please email or pm me. I live in Hollywood but will come to you for the exchange.

Thanks!

Wilcoworld says dates including the 2 LA shows go on sale this morning at 10am. I see nothing listed on Ticketmaster....

.

An album, DVD, EP, side project...anything! Is anything on the horizon?

if there's a sendspace link going around could someone pm me? I'd totally be willing to buy the lone track if possible.

Could someone once and for all tell me how you pronounce John's last name?

Nice article. This excites me:

Who thinks they can guess what songs they play?

When I first started to listen to Wilco, I made this mix. I used Acoustica software to blend them together. Some overlap and some don't. Bottom line is I would probably give this mix to someone who was interested in giving Wilco a try as opposed to any single album. A primer, if you will

 

1) Kamera

2) Why Would You Wanna Live

3) We're Just friends

4) I Must Be High

5) She's A Jar

6) No Poetry

7) Casino Queen

8) Nothing'severgonnastandinmyway(again)

9) Heavy Metal Drummer

10) I'm The Man Who Loves You

11) Pot Kettle Black

12) Shot In The Arm

This mix is wildly outdated. Funny though, those were my favorites too when I first started listening in '02.

Got this and watched part 1 last night. Did NOT feel like 2 hours. I enjoyed it way more than I expected to. Can't wait to watch part 2. Highly recommended even for moderate Petty fans.
