Livin' in New Orleans Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 There is of course always this period between records, and we have seen a few things happen during these times (Kicking Television, Ashes Of American Flags, etc.) I was wondering what you all thought might happen... I, for one, would love an official release of some of the new songs live...that doesn't seem too out of this world Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I, for one, would love an official release of some of the new songs live...that doesn't seem too out of this worldI think an official live release right now is very out of this world, actually. Considering they just released Ashes, and they're still playing very similar setlists, the logic in releasing another live DVD is flawed, especially since the band knows how easily obtainable their show recordings are. If you want live versions of the new songs, they're out there. I would love a new Loose Fur record... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Wilco will tour the world making tons of money for the band and everyone concerned selling recordings, mech, and tickets to shows. More power to them. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you want live versions of the new songs, they're out there. I would love a new Loose Fur record... I don't mean like a live album or downloadable tracks from a DVD... I mean like a bonus EP or something with a few live songs, as they did with AGIB and SBS Also, what are the odds of a new Loose Fur record... I mean Jim O'Rourke is coming out with a new record, so he is not off the map by any means Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 In theory, a new Loose Fur album could happen, but I don't think it will anytime soon. However, Mikael and Nels have mentioned non-Wilco plans, so it's plenty feasible for Jeff and Glenn to slip away and lay down a new Loose Fur LP. That being said, I think it's ways off. If it happens at all... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmacomber68w Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I said this before, and I'll say it again. I would pay through the nose for a Tweedy solo record. Will it ever happen, yes. Will it happen anytime soon, probably not. I would love a 8-10 song album with folkish, sing a long tunes. Obviously there would be appearances by the rest of the band.

It just seems unlikely at this point that Jeff will find himself with songs that he doesn't want the band to play with. Some day, I hope he does release a very stripped down album. WTA is a pretty stripped album in the grand scheme of things, but I think an album of Jeff and a guitar would be pretty amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WTA is a pretty stripped album in the grand scheme of things, but I think an album of Jeff and a guitar would be pretty amazing. My friend and I were talking, and we were thinking this: An album in which each member of the band writes their own song for the record, depending on their musical style and tastes and primary instruments. (Jeff would sing of course.) There would be at least six of these songs unique to the individual band members. I think this would be cool, especially considering the collaboration that they enjoyed so much in New Zealand. I picture Nels writing an avant garde guitar song, with playing that reflects his personal tastes...and so on... just a thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The other guys don't write lyrics, but they add instrumental parts based on their preferred sounds, and shit like that. And considering everyone in the band has non-Wilco projects going on too, it's not necessary for them all to contribute their own individual songs to a Wilco album.

Not necessary of course, but it would be a cool musical experiment.. I mean i'm sure a ton of that goes on in the loft and in private.. but a record like that would be pretty cool. I know they do similar things already, but I am talking each individual writing their own song and then bringing it to the others... I don't know, sometimes I wish I could play more instruments than I can hahahaha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jcroach Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I think KISS did this or something similar. Dude! You just beat me to this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Stanley_%28album%29http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Simmons_%28album%29http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_Frehley_%28album%29http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Criss_%28album%29 All released on the same day, September 18, 1978. From Allmusic.comAt the peak of their popularity in 1978, Kiss decided to maximize their sales potential and exploit their loyal audience by having each member release a solo record on the same day. Instead of sending sales through the roof, it had the unexpected effect of stopping their momentum cold. It wasn't because the market was flooded with Kiss product -- although it certainly was, since they released nine albums, including two double-live records and a compilation, in the course of four years -- it was because the albums were, for the most part, terrible.

jff Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 a new Loose Fur LP. That being said, I think it's ways off. If it happens at all... Tweedy says in this month's Uncut interview that he, Jim and Glenn are all still interested in continuing Loose Fur. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are you familiar with the Creedence Clearwater Revival Album Mardi Gras? (cryptic reference to a really bad idea that was tried by a Seminal Rock band for different reasons) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Prior to any tour edition EP or any similar stop-gap*, I'm really looking forward to the Beck collaboration on Skip Spence's Oar since: It's 22 songs of new Wilco materialIf it's anything like Beck's cover of the VU & Nico, it will feature the band unrehearsed, raw and (in my opinion) potentially exciting in a "without a net" fashionI don't really have any strong opinions or affinity for the original, so the album will come off as entirely new to meLooks like we will have to wait three long weeks for this to start trickling out. * - And the 7 Worlds Collide album, too, forgot about that.
