DARK NEON ANYONE?


Recommended Posts

Guest Speed Racer

I know it's wrong. I know everything we've valued and held holy will fall. I cannot believe what a terrible person I am. Sorry.

 

Is it that hard to follow a simple rule? One that's in place because of the band that you're promoting? Way to shit on your own doorstep in your fifth post.

I have at this time counted there to be around 34 studio b sides, soundtracks, etc releases by Wilco. I have purchased or accessed 31 of those tracks legally. (Those of you probably remember me pleading for those other two or three a couple months back.) Anyway, I have little sympathy for those of you patrolling around here with 3 posts looking for free music. I will say it again, I have NEVER illegally taken from Wilco when the songs or albums were available in a reasonable manner. (I'm not buying a compilation album for 30 bucks on ebay). I have a sad obsessed room of evidence on how much I've invested in this band if anyone ever asks questions. Therefore, if you are just wanting hand outs and haven't paid your dues then please think twice before getting this place shut down. If you are a hardcore long time fan looking for the final pieces of a puzzle then that is cool (only you know how you sleep at night). That being said, the way Dark Neon was available was a joke in terms of marketing.

 

And to add: Dark Neon does nothing for me personally

Analogman, is there a place to purchase just the song that i'm missing? It's not even on itunes anymore is it, since the album is out.

 

It's gotta come out legit sometime, either as a download off wilcoworld, or on itunes or something (even though it seems like all of the previous eps have disappeared off the site). I'd gladly drop a buck or two on it myself (Jolly Banker was completely worth the $2 donation), but the fact that I am refused buying a song because I didn't want to preorder the whole album on itunes (since I already have legit mp3s, cd and vinyl of it) is really kinda crummy.

 

It could have at least come with the nonesuch and kungfu downloads, those were preorders just like itunes...

I think it is just at iTunes when you buy the new album there - is that right? I don't use iTunes, so I don't really know much about it. I would think they will put it out in some other form at some point.

Just looked since I have a mac at work. You don't get it if you buy the album now, just the regular songs and a digital booklet. It was a preorder special for itunes only, which is sad looking at the push they made for preorders on their own site. I haven't heard it, but reading the descriptions, I cannot fathom why the left it off (even looking at the album art, it's like the space for it is still sitting there)

 

Plus, and this is just my opinion, the second side of the album is lackluster at best, the songs are great but it needs something with some life to it (which is why the placement of Bull Black Nova and You Never Know are perfect on side one).

Many people seem to rank I'll Fight and Sonny Feeling pretty high, myself included. I agree that the 2nd side doesn't hold up with the 1st though.

I like the arrangement -- sonically, that would be an interesting direction for this band to go in -- but from a songwriting perspective, this ain't much.

I was tempted to go into this, but this isn't the album thread. I like all the songs (even putting W(TS) towards the bottom of the list for me, just because the goofiness of it has started to wear thin), but if there was just something a little... noisier at the end of everlasting, it would round the package out more (like going through the experience of AGIB to have a wonderful little pop rock song to finish it).

I see. I suppose people will just have to find it out there, or wait for it to show up in some other official capitally. I have mot received my CD yet - as UPS is playing games, so I have not really heard the album.

I was surprised there was a lack of quicktime file built into the cd like the last few releases, honestly. Even if nothing was ready, i'd think there'd be something there for when the inevitable ep drops. Maybe those days are done though, like our 6 concerts to pick from (that never happened) with the ashes dvd or whatever the hell it was.

That's a good point. I noticed there was not a special edition this time around. I suppose that is due to the concert DVD that came out recently.

Maybe they're giving up on the horrible quicktime support and just going to send the tracks directly to owlandbear from now on.

but from a songwriting perspective, this ain't much.

 

I got you and that's all I need

I got you and that's all I need

I got you and that's all I need

I got you

 

I got you and I still believe

That you are all I will ever need

It's you, oh

 

All the way back in the seventies

You were my little TV queen

Your Tarzan and your friend Janine

I got you

 

I got you and I still believe

That you are all I will ever need

It's you, oh

 

It's the end of the century

And I can't think of anything

Except you

 

It's the end of the century

And I can't think of anything

But you, oh

 

All, I, need

 

I got you

I got you, babe

I got you

 

It's only rock and roll, but I like it.

For future releases all B-sides will be given to mpolak21 in advance, PM him on Via Chicago for links and details, but please do not clutter up threads asking for PM's.

 

Thanks,

 

Wilco Management.

they should just redirect all the links on the old cds and sunken treasure there, saying "they're better at the internet than we are"

 

As long as they send FLAC files, that they made using EAC with the proper settings, of course.

Aww, for reals? I think this is my favorite Wilco song since You Are My Face.

 

Jeff's vocals on it are VERY raw... and not in a good way in this case. makes it hard for me to focus on the rest i guess.

 

i like it more than Unlikely Japan, but i don't dig that song at all really.
