  1. have you at least tried the links from wilcoworld as far as their official management, etc.?

     

    A couple of years back I went that route, trying to get an interview for my school tv station in college. I used the contacts on their website and got a request in. Got denied, but it's worth a shot. You sound like you've got a better chance, being such a small venue and in a different country and all.

     

    Good luck!!

  2. hey, at least you agree with me on the fact that, despite all their much-deserved critical acclaim, people won't fully "get" "Love & Theft" or Modern Times for years.

    I still don't "get" the craze around Love & Theft, but boy, Modern Times hit me upon first hearing!

  3. thanks for the info.

     

    I wonder if his band he's toured with is on this ? they are great.

     

    I'm hoping the same thing, maybe the album will make more sense

     

    I read that Paul did most of the instruments on this track, but I too was under the impression that the album was recorded with his touring band.

  4. who's producing ? and who's playing on this ?

     

    David Kahne produced. He also did The Strokes' First Impressions of Earth, and Paul's 2001 Driving Rain album. I wish he'd gone with Godrich again though. While this song is catchy, the production is distracting. Who knows, maybe it'll make more sense when we hear the whole album.

     

    It'll be interesting to hear this stuff in Starbucks this summer...

  5. Either Way - Appropriate opener, sets the mood.

     

    You Are My Face - So good it hurts.

     

    Impossible Germany - Pefectly Executed

     

    Sky Blue Sky - Classic Wilco.

     

    Side With the Seeds - Was my most anticipated song, but I'm not a fan of the slower tempo. Sounds tedious at times.

     

    Shake it Off - Ouch on the vocals, but once it gets going, it rocks. But seriously, "Sunlight aaanglees oownn?" Do another take.

     

    Patient With Me - I'm trying, but I wish it wasn't on the album. It's a solo song.

     

    Hate it Here - new for them and I love it.

     

    Leave Me Like You Found Me - I see it as this album's Wishful Thinking and that's what I love about it. It's understated but beautiful.

     

    Walkin' - Nothing to dislike here.

     

    What Light - "is basically the world's biggest deep-fried cheeseball" TheMaker said it best.

     

    On and On and On - until it gets going it sounds like a throwaway to me.

  6. I can't get over the range in taste for this album. Everyone seems passionate about certain songs while showing distaste for others. The only song that seems to get universal praise is You Are My Face.

     

    By the way, mark me down for loving Shake it Off.
