Jesusetc84 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I don't care what it means or why it is. It's a 7' tall, 1500 lb walking w. With a party hat. I can't think of anything more outrageously funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gueringray Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 ok, Shirley.Well played, sir....(ma'am?)    But what I am REALLY interested in about this cover is - which chair represents which member of Wilco.... I mean this is SERIOUS stuff. Is Wilco giving us a message? I mean, clearly Jeff sits at the head of the table. It's HIS party after all.... Nels must be the one in the front-left, as that chair is so far from the table (Dear GOD that man is tall). Who has the two drink cups? Who has the noise maker (Mikael?)... Is Pat dead? Is that what this cover means? Pat is dead! What? Oh god, its Abbey Rd all over again AHHHHH! Please discuss....(please?)

J_Lefty Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Is Pat dead? Is that what this cover means? Pat is dead! What? Oh god, its Abbey Rd all over again AHHHHH! Who would replace Pat if he died? I'm guessing you could find lots of people who look like him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aricandover Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 A bit of trivia for everybody: The camel's name is Tzvi (or Zvi), which is a Hebrew name.  it's pronounced Svee, not Schvee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jules Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Really? Weird. I always assumed it was Schvee. The animal's handler called him "Schvee", but he was reading from the paperwork. So, maybe he read it wrong. I got his card, so I'm going to call him to correct the pronunciation of this now-famous animal.You got the card of the camel's handler?

ditty Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Late comer here, I like the artwork! It's hard to catch up on 10 PAGES of post. Did anyone see this below the photo? More details to come very, very soon. In stores and on the nets June 30, at the latest.  I like that!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In stores and on the nets June 30, at the latest.  I like that!!! Im tired of the teasing, I just want to know when they will start streaming it already. Kind of like what Radiohead did. Basically said "Hi..our album is done, will leak it in about 7 days. If you want to give us money for it, go ahead. The physical product will be out in a few weeks" All bands should do this.

imdwalrus Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 You got the card of the camel's handler?  Yeah, my nephews are really into animals and I wanted to see if I could make a contact to get them in to see non-zoo animals. The handler was really cool and we talked about the camel (dromedary) and what his name was, where he came from, etc. I thought Tzvi (Schvee/Svee) was a Swedish name, but the handler said it's Hebrew. We had already considered making Tzvi the Camel tshirts, but none of us are any good at design.
