darkstar Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 you're probably right. in fact, i would prefer if they continued operating in this fashion. is this bad/selfish? Nope, not at all Used to be real easy to go see the Dead back in the day, small venues, easy to get tickets. Then they got popular back in '87 and the scene got bad cullminating in the tour from hell in 95. Death threats, gate crashers you name it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jesusetc84 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 To the people who say Wilco don't do singles: "Box Full of Letters", "I Must Be High", "Casino Queen", "Outtasite", "Monday", "Hotel Arizona", "Can't Stand It", "A Shot in The Arm", "Nothingsevergonnastandinmyway(Again)", ""Kamera", "War on War", "Jesus Etc;", "Heavy Metal Drummer", "I'm a Wheel" and "Theologians" were all released as promo singles. Sky Blue Sky will definitely have a single of some sorts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mrrice Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I don't know about the whole "promo" single thing. I guess I always think of singles as:1. Something with B-sides2. Available to purchase.3. Something that is charted.Like these: Box Full Of Letters CD-Single 1995 Outtasite (Outta Mind) CD-Single 1997 A Shot In The Arm CD-Single 1999 A Shot In The Arm CD-Single 1999 Can't Stand It CD-Single 1999 Can't Stand It CD-Single 1999 War On War CD-Single 2002 But I guess other people have different ideas of a single.

nicburto Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Either Walken or What Light - they seem more "radio friendly" - but probably What Light Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Singles : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_%28music%29 Cd-singles are a lot less prevelant than they were ten or fifteen years ago. They've been replaced by a large degree by promos, and i-Tunes pre-album releases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 CD singles are basically obsolete now. Like you said, i-Tunes pre-album releases are popular now. Singles are mostly just for radio air-play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
