magusmachine Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Anybody have a hunch? Before anybody tells me to shut up and enjoy the current stuff I must point out SBS is my 2nd favorite Wilco album and I by no means want them to rush out of their current style.

LouieB Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 They will play more music and tour more as well as record some more albums.... LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I'm sure the next set of songs will dictate what they need to be and how they should be dressed up musically. The band seems to work from a let's play and see what happens approach so who knows what we'll see next... and that's the way I like it. Whatever they do next, the only thing that matters is that it comes from an honest place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socbret Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I remember reading something where Jeff says that they probably won't ever make an album like this again, which I guess with Wilco should be a given but still... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 You have to figure that while they are on their tour break for the moment, they are hanging out in Chicago. Their next show is in Duluth, MN. Therefore, I'm going to say Wilco's next direction is roughly north by northwest. Which happens to be my favorite movie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I hope their next musical direction deliberately polarizes their fanbase to such an extent that there will be heated arguments among their fans along the lines of " you're not listening to them in the right way" & "stfu you highy messed-up freak".

coast to coast Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 some kind of rock n roll influenced album I'd wager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lemsky Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Sure will be different from SBS,at least this is what he said recently: JamBase: In a recent issue of Harp Magazine when you were discussing this new record you said that you don't think you'll make another record like this, but that you love it. Now those ideas are not mutually exclusive, but it is an interesting dynamic to love something yet not want to do it again. So, I'm kind of wondering what it is you love about this record and why it is you won't revisit this style or this exact angle? Tweedy: It's not about whether or not I want to revisit it, I just don't know if I can. I think if we set about using the same process and the same philosophy of music making that we used making Sky Blue Sky the results probably wouldn't lead to another record similar to Sky Blue Sky. I think the whole point of it was to just communicate with each other musically and allow something to happen, and to embrace what happened. I think that's what we did. And I guess I love it because it was so gratifying and we were so successful at just staying out of our own way and making the record that was there to make. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I hope their next musical direction deliberately polarizes their fanbase to such an extent that there will be heated arguments among their fans along the lines of " you're not listening to them in the right way" & "stfu you highy messed-up freak". I'd say that's highly unlikely, considering the last six studio albums... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
random painted highway Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Didn't he say that they have some improvisational jams they've been sitting on?Also, the *very* early 2005 rumors mentioned them listening to a lot of Fela Kuti. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I don't really have a preference, but if Tweedy's been grooving on Battles and Panda Bear lately, I'd love to hear a Wilco record influenced by those bands and their sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 okay I must have missed something but where does "Highly Messed-Up Freak" come from?Long, old story, but here's the short explanation of the in-joke: Years ago a very annoying newbie--I'll refrain from naming him, especially since he's still quite young--once used that term in an argument, and VC latched onto it... first as mockery, now as satire.

The fact that I'm listening to all of that stuff at the moment (except Dr. Dog who I've never heard of) is nice but mainly, I really like Jeff's quote about albums having their own internal logic. I'd never been able to articulate that before. Damn you Tweedy you legend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

abombregardless Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I have a theory that every album contains at least one song that points in the direction Wilco will eventually take with their next album. For example: - "Should've Been In Love" from A.M. has much less twang and more of the straight-ahead '90s pop-rock that would comprise a large swath of Being There.- "Why Would You Wanna Live" from Being There has the evocative piano and dark lyrics that would appear on Summerteetn- "Via Chicago" from Summerteeth features abstract lyrics and feedback/noise that would define Yankee Hotel Foxtrot- ummmm.....OK, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot doesn't really give many clues to the direction AGIB would take. - "Hummingbird" from A Ghost Is Born has the straightforward lyrics and full-band-in-one-room feel that runs rampant on Sky Blue Sky Given this trend, I would guess that the crunchy guitars of "Shake It Off" will influence Wilco's next record, and it will be a lot more hard-rocking. There's my two cents. Time will tell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
giraffo Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I thought for a little bit, and thought maybe they'd go for a very "rocking" album too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
