Kalle Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Well if you've been keeping up with Jeff's recent solo show banter from the last few days you will know all this but here it is anyways. The songs they mentioned sure excited me! The band are in the final stretch on the new record' date=' which they're calling "Sky Blue Sky". It's scheduled for worldwide release (Nonesuch Records) on 15 May. Some of the 18+ plus tracks recorded and being considered for inclusion are "Impossible Germany", "Shake it Off", "Glad it's Over", "Side with the Seeds", "Walken" and "Either Way". Watch this space for more updates and maybe even some music soon(ish). Oh, and per the press release, it's the first studio record with the sextet lineup that was heard on the 2-cd live set Kicking Television.[/quote'] [edit: topic sub-title edited by gogo, who is on a merging/moving threads power-kick this morning (threads with substantially similar info/on the same topic will be merged into this one)] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DogsPlayingPoker Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I'm disappointed that "The Thanks I Get" isn't going to be on this album. Jeff said it would be on the NEXT next album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Wilco's new album, "Sky Blue Sky," will arrive May 15 via Nonesuch, frontman Jeff Tweedy said on stage last night (Jan. 17) during a solo show in Nashville. Among the new songs Tweedy has been playing are the title track and "We Can Make It Better." As a full band, Wilco has also previewed the tracks "Is That the Thanks I Get," "Lullaby for Rafters and Dreams," "On and On and On" and "Walken" in the past year. According to a spokesperson, "Side With the Seeds," "Either Way" and "Glad It's Over" are also in consideration. "I think people may have an idea in their head about what it will sound like, but it's going to be different than that," Wilco bassist John Stirratt told Billboard.com in November. "Jeff had a lot of creative fire. And also, the way we recorded was so cool because a lot of the arrangements just grew right there with everybody sitting around. I'm over the moon about it. I think it will be a really beautiful record. It's a great time to be in Wilco." "Sky Blue Sky" is the follow-up to 2004's "A Ghost Is Born," which has sold 346,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Tweedy's solo run continues through Jan. 31 in Charlottesville, Va. The lone Wilco live dates on tap at present are three mid-April shows in Australia: April 16 in Brisbane, April 18 in Melbourne and April 21 in Sydney. from billboard.com I'd like to thank you all for nothingI'd like to thank you all for nothing at allI'd like to thank you all for nothingNothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing at allNothing, nothing, nothing, nothing at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WaronWar Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 So is "That The Thanks I Get" going on the record because I read in some interviews it is not and on this billboard post it says it is. I really hope it is because the band verison that I heard on Conan last May was killer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RainDogToo Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I just can't get enough of "Side With the Seeds." I can't wait to hear the album version, is anyone else excited for this tune too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 i have agreed with John Stirratt's statements about every album and every era of Wilco entirely, so the fact he's "over the moon" has sent my anticipation levels past the exosphere, and it's only January. dammit.

Jesusetc84 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I'm proud to say I haven't heard a single new song since they first played "Impossible Germany".I just decided I'd rather be introduced to the songs in completed form than in live unfinished form.

Jesusetc84 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 That's too bad because this has been an amazing year of live shows to listen to. I realize I missed a lot, but at the same time, I really wanted the album to be fresh. I mean, we only get a new Wilco record (not a side-project, or a live album, but a new studio record) once every 2-3 years. This could be the last one we get this decade. I want it to be fresh when I hear it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I want it to be fresh when I hear it. As a full on Wilco fan since 96' I've purposely not heard one song that has been listed as being on the new album "SkyBlue Sky". I want to hear an album that's completely fresh to my ears. I haven't even watched the new Jeff DVD for fear of being exposed. I knew every single song on AGIB before I even had the disc. I had YHF years before I even bought the disc. This one is gonna be different. I'm really excited. Like the good old days. PS- I may have heard a song or two at a couple of Jeff's shows but did not seek copies of the shows. They are as good as forgotten. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I realize I missed a lot, but at the same time, I really wanted the album to be fresh.I can understand this. I can't resist listening to live bootlegs along the way--it's fun to observe the evolution--but I won't seek the leaked album. I'll wait until I actually have the CD in my hands.
