gogo Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Thanks for the link. Nels mentions an upcoming gig with Scott Amendola Band w/ Jim Campilongo as a guest. It'd be cool to hear Nels with Jim Campilongo. I've recently discovered Jim and have been pretty knocked out.It was very cool to hear Nels with Jim Campilongo. The first half of the show was Jim w/ Scott Amendola and John Shifflett, followed by the Scott Amendola band, which was Scott, John, Nels, and Jeff Parker. Then for the second half of their set, Jim came back on and joined them. There were definitely tapers there. If I find the show available anywhere, I'll let you know.

Three dollars and 63 cents Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'd be interested in hearing that, too. Any show involving Nels, Scott, and Jeff Parker is going to be great. It's a shame Jenny Scheinman couldn't play with them last week, since she's stunning. I'm hoping to go see her the week after next while she's on tour with Jimmie Dale Gilmore.

Mr. Kinsley Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'm more of a boxer-brief guy. But believe me, they're tight...tight like Wilco's new album will be... That mental image may have just ruined this album for me before it's ever made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blureu Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 The Obama with Jeff Tweedy & friends review mentions they possibly played a new song: I'm the man who loves youNew song?

Guest Jules Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 this sounds exactly like an interview Nels gave when they were recording SBS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesusetc84 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I hope it's not just a SBS part 2. I think we can all agree that part of the fun of Wilco (or the challenge) is that no two records sound alike. I hope they keep that up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
giraffo Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I hope it's not just a SBS part 2. I think we can all agree that part of the fun of Wilco (or the challenge) is that no two records sound alike. I hope they keep that up. I remember an article awhile back where Jeff stated being psyched on Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective, and Dr. Dog. So we can only hope the next album is some hellspawn Wilco combination of the three bands. Personally, if you combined them, I don't think you could go wrong, and it's freaking Wilco: Jeff effing Tweedy, the Nels Jazzmaster Cline, Glenn the conservatory drumming genius, and the man who will go down in history as the most under rated bassist of all time, John Stirratt. and then there's Mikael and Pat.frankly, it's like the dream team of indie rock or flat out musicianship. I have to hyperbollicly rant like this everytime in my head that I think about Wilco. That's so much amassed talent. It's like if I were Pat or Mikael I would just quit, or at least tell JT to do what he really wants to do and form a second supergroup consisting of Tweedy, Stiratt, Glenn, Nels, and Jim O'Rourke and making Wilco an official side project. I mean, Glenn probably knows Marimba or associated instruments, can't he just play the keys while he drums?we all know he's capable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Mikael and Pat are great. Imagine SBS without the keys, or Impossible Germany with only two guitars. Jim O'Rourke has distanced himself from music, and might not come back to it any time soon. Glenn plays bells while he's playing his drums, check out the crotales on IATTBYH. Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective and Dr. Dog are all really new bands, I think Wilco wouldn't lean towards a combination of recent contemporaries. Sorry, I'm excited too. And John Stiratt is the most under rated bass player of all time, you're right on that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I mean, Glenn probably knows Marimba or associated instruments, can't he just play the keys while he drums? He rips out the thumb piano on Monkey Chant or Mobile, I don't remember... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I'm a dick. John Stiratt is a buddha. You're a bunny. New Dr. Dog comes out Tuesday. Everybody's happy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Everybody's happy. that first song makes the whole thing worth getting for me, imo. it does lose a bit of it after awhile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Really?! I hope not. I'll get back to you on Tuesday. I've been looking forward to that record for months. I predict they're the next "talked about" band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
