WaronWar Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 fuck the grammies I'll second that. Hopefully the new album is out in April, I am pretty happy to hear Jim O'Rourke mixed it. I just love the guy's work as a producer, mixer, solo artist, and all the bands and projects he has been in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I knew about those 2, but I didn't know that 2 are already considered as "multiple" that and they only won one of them if remember correctly. they've been nominated a few times, those ones and one of the Mermaid records.

Preferred B Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Nah, they won both. "Multiple" just means more than one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamin' Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Covering long distances between venues on the (almost) Trans Canada tour last summer must have been good practice for an Australian tour. Congrats, froggie et al! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clouds of Fluff Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Congrats to VCers down under! Looks like well-deserved Wilco shows ahead. (Heck, I'd like to see Wilco in Australia!) Dates are officially up on wilcoworld I see now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 that and they only won one of them if remember correctly. they've been nominated a few times, those ones and one of the Mermaid records. I think both Mermaid records were nominated for something, there's the famous story from the 1998 (I think) ceremony where Puff Daddy thought Tweedy was an usher and there's a bonus clip from the I am Trying To Break Your Heart film where John and Jay are seen riding from the Grammy's in 2001, lamenting their loss. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is a glorious 30th anniversary, it being 2007 and tour being in 1977. I am hoping no offenses were made, but correctness in all things is good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
