It leaked, it can be found easily via a google blog search.

I am aware of it's leak but I think I'm gonna wait this one out. I guess my question should have been "how does this one sound? Tell me what it's like."

Well it's so good as I have been listening to it, I have been pondering packing my bags and heading over to Via Hoboken. Typically eclectic set from the band, lot of great Ira guitar parts, some amazing string arrangements and 60's Motown-style duet between Ira and Georgia. Then there's the epic three songs in 35 minutes closing tracks. Further solidifies their position as the "Holy Spirit" in the Trinity of American Art Rock Bands, The Velvets being God, and The Talking Heads Jesus.

Wow, that's quite an endorsement. I really liked their last two records (The last YLT one the CF one).

I refuse to ever buy compilations that don't provide any new material.

 

As far as song choices, how is this?

They didn't exclusively pick the singles: instead, they plucked some highlights from the albums.

It's not awful. I didn't hear disc 2 yet since Spinner is only streaming disc 1.

 

NP: Wilco w/ Andrew Bird - Jesus, Etc. (Live Summer '08)
