DogsPlayingPoker Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Okay, I've been a Wilco fan for a while. I didn't care for AM, but I discovered Being There at a public library and thought I'd give them a second chance, I'm digressing, the point is, I don't know that I've ever heard them on the radio or seen a video, a la the MTV kind... My question is, do you hear Wilco on the radio where you live and have they ever made conventional videos? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They do have one "conventional" video for Outtasite (Outtamind), of them skydiving, but other than that, not really. I could be wrong but I think the band just kind of decided not to do music videos.

I'm a little bothered by that.I'd poke around youtube, or maybe yahoo's launch, I remember seeing the videos there a while ago. Cherry Ghost is just the first member title, don't worry about it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I was on my way out of the health food store a few days ago and ELT started to play over their sound system. I think I literally did a double take. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aricandover Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 one time, Paul (bbop) and I were at Chipotle, and the theme from Chelsea Walls was playing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockinrob Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 They get played somewhat regularly on wmnf 88.5 in tampa. I dont listen to the radio usually except for my alarm clock and Ive gotten woken up by wilco a few times. Also one time I was telling this friend of mine at work how freakin' awesome wilco was, and how you just dont hear bands like that on the radio. We happend to have the radio playing (88.5) and as soon as I said that, The late greats started playing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
welch79 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 The only Wilco I've ever heard on the radio is HMD played on 105.3 in Knoxville. We don't really have any great radio stations round here; the one I mentioned above is the most forward thinking, simply b/c it is (supposedly) locally owned. To be honest with you all, I just don't listen to radio anymore. It's either CDs or iPod over the FM transmitter. Also, I was having this discussion the other day with my wife: MTV should not be called Music TV. They never play videos anymore! Neither, really does VH1. I know there are some digital/satellite options, but my point here is if your station is named "Music" TV or "Video Hits" One, then you should probably play some. I know, I know videos don't get the rating these crap shows do, but... I'll stop now. Thanks for letting me rant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Shot in the Arm here's Shot in the Arm if you search VH1.com for wilco, you'll find some more videos Whoa. The music video format is such a strange thing, not just in a Wilco context, just altogether strange.Dig those Tweedy thighs though. Meeoooww... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blindgonzo Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 there's a great radio station out of Calgary...or Edmonton. I forget. It's CKUA and that's the only place I've heard Wilco. It's an amazing station playing stuff from all around the world. You can listen to it online as well...check it out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 My question is, do you hear Wilco on the radio where you live and have they ever made conventional videos? i heard california stars a couple of times on the radio in 1998.... 'twas enough to make me a fan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When A GHOST IS BORN was newish, I heard "Handshake Drugs" on the only station remotely resembling a new nusic Rock Station. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nonlinear Nonfiction Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 When I'm in Minnesota I hear them occassionally on 89.3 the Current That's because I call 89.3 The Current at 11:00 p.m. everyday and request Wilco. Hah! I don't even live in Minnesota right now (I'm in school in Madison, Wisc.) but that is the best radio station in the world and I still call to make requests. It's no. 5 on my speed dial.

yankhotelfox Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I have heard "California Stars," "Handshake Drugs" and other random Wilco songs several times, mostly on college stations. I have heard a few other tunes at stores. Who is the woman in the "A Shot in the Arm" video? I wonder if she's a paid actress or what. That newbie does deserve a good bashing. Welcome.
