Guest Speed Racer Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Since my latest Wilco email tells me Pat and John were responsible for testing the roasts I can only assume the brews are weak and inoffensive (to the point, of course, of becoming offensive).

Guest Speed Racer Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Seriously - do you think the Autumn Defense could manage to put together a strong cup of anything? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I saw this on Consumerist today... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 What product comes after this? Wilco Condoms. Wishful Thinking. Shrunken Treasure. Edit: Actually, if it comes to that I think it's safe to say that Wilco has finally "jumped the shark". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Come on. You gonna put Wilco milk in this? That milk is coming from the Wilco cow, which is definitely being milked here. I hope they're putting as much time energy and effort into the next record as they are into marketing themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxiebean Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I refuse to put anything but Wilco camel's milk in my Wilco coffee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Seriously - do you think the Autumn Defense could manage to put together a strong cup of anything?Heh. I would like to drink Einsturzende Neubauten coffee, or perhaps a Missing Foundation latte. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Since my latest Wilco email tells me Pat and John were responsible for testing the roasts I can only assume the brews are weak and inoffensive (to the point, of course, of becoming offensive). I would think they would make it refined, yet slightly saccharine. Something I might like more when I get older.... in a cup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I saw some Wilco fragrance at Macy's today, sitting on the same shelf at Celine Dion's and Diddy's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 After this, standards went by the wayside. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onYLwFr2OZY Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 What product comes after this? http://pitchfork.com/news/40796-wilco-coffee-is-a-real-thing/ anyone tried these?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 "The body has a light and silky quality, like fresh whipped cream, that beautifully compliments the ever-present note of citron, juniper berry and vanilla. As it cools, the cup blossoms into notes of confectioner's sugar, rosehips, and soft raisin, resonating on a pristine finish with a touch of milk chocolate." Is this for real? You can really taste all that in coffee? I seriously have no palate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jc4prez Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 After this, standards went by the wayside. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onYLwFr2OZY The difference here was this was the punch line to a forty year old joke. In the famous SF 65 press conference dylan is asked what product he would sell out for, his answer "ladies under garments". Pretty classy if you ask me and I hater our consumer culture. Since my latest Wilco email tells me Pat and John were responsible for testing the roasts I can only assume the brews are weak and inoffensive (to the point, of course, of becoming offensive). FTW!

choo-choo-charlie Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Wilco Condoms. Wishful Thinking. Shrunken Treasure. Edit: Actually, if it comes to that I think it's safe to say that Wilco has finally "jumped the shark". I've always known what "jumped the shark" means, but never knew about its origins. According to Wiki, it came from Happy Days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I've always known what "jumped the shark" means, but never knew about its origins. According to Wiki, it came from Happy Days. The fact that I thought everyone knew that surely means I'm getting old. Wilco coffee. Hmm. What does anyone stand to gain from this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 What does anyone stand to gain from this? Overpriced novelty coffee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Or Diamanda Galas coffee! Now that would put hair on your chest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
austrya Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Hopefully Wilco (the coffee) tastes more like BT, ST, and YHF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Hopefully Wilco (the coffee) tastes more like BT, ST, and YHF. Something in my veins, bloodier than blood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
austrya Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Maybe it comes with some cracked cups that you can hook above the sink. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I was thinking that the coffee, plus a VC mug, could be a fabulous gift for someone!!! http://www.zazzle.com/viachicagostore* I've got one of those mugs, and I really do love it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I really wish there were an alternate mug that said, ViaChicagohighy messed up freaks!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
