welch79 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Yup...that's right...I have heard it twice now.... LouieBi wouldn'ta picked this song as their first "single" (if such a thing exists in wilcodom). guess i'm glad i didn't lay down any cash on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DawgSong Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Same here. WUTC 88.1 out of Chattanooga, TN. Station has always been Wilco friendly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deepseacatfish Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 When I was back home (Minnesota) I heard it a handful of times on 89.3 the Current. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 I guess someone somewhere in the star maker machinery behind the popular song has figured this is the "single" from this album. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Of all the songs on this record... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Of all the songs on this record... Seriously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_H_2 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Well, with the exception of Walken (and perhaps Either Way), it's really the only radio-friendly song on the album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Well, with the exception of Walken (and perhaps Either Way), it's really the only radio-friendly song on the album.Not that any Wilco song could be a hit (I really thought "Theologians" was going to be a single and a modest hit), "Hate It Here" has my (doomed) vote as the candidate from this album.

Wilco LP #7 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I think that Hate It Here is the best "single" on the album, personally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Szabo Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I heard Can't Stand It on XRT Saturday afternoon, right when i was telling my lady friend how XRT is the best station in Chicago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moe_Syzlak Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Walken and Hate It Here (or to a lesser extent Side With Seeds) seem like the most natural "singles" on the album to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 (I really thought "Theologians" was going to be a single and a modest hit),It was the single from AGIB on XRT....there were days I never wanted to hear it again... LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I think it's single material. It's probably the most catchy song on the album, and if that's what makes a good single, then this is it. Whether this statement is true or not, I'm in a little doubt. But, hey hey; does it matter anyway? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Seems about right to me: simple lyrics, simple chords, sing-along chorus. Don't get me wrong, I dig the tune quite a bit, but isn't it the obvious choice for the most radio play? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack1956 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 WRSI 93.9 in Northampton, MA plays it every morning around 6am. The dj is a dick but hearing Wilco at that hour is sublime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 "Hate It Here" has my (doomed) vote as the candidate from this album. Might be a little too long. Requires too much patience for the hook. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilco LP #7 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Might be a little too long. Requires too much patience for the hook. same can be said for phantom limb by the shins, which XRT plays constantly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 It is also featured as part of a promo today for New Releases Thursday.... Man alot of stuff has been released this week.... LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Artifice Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Sirius #26 has it in light rotation. I've purposefully been avoiding all the leaks, so this is the first official release I've heard. Really don't care for it at all. Snoozefest w/ a terrible refrain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
camaroheadus Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 this song has had the most growth for me after several listens to sbs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 Personally ...I can't get it out of my head... LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 "Personally ...I can't get it out of my head..." I'm with you, Louie. I think the chorus will make a great jingle for a lightbulb company ten years from now. I also often wake up in the morning with the melancholy "eith-er wa-ayyyy" rolling around my head.

viatroy Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I love it. Period. One of Jeff's very finest songs and sentiments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
