I think that the band decided to put the bonus track on the cd, but as a hidden track. This way it causes 3 months and up 20 pages of discussions about the morals of the band. Consider it part of the deluxe special edition.

Does anybody else not like extra tracks tacked on at the end of an album? When the album ends I don't want it rolling over to some bonus track no matter how good it might be.

 

Yeah, when I listen to an album, I like to listen to the finished product, exactly as the artist intended it to be. I usually put the bonus tracks in some other music folder on my computer. Likewise, I wouldn't want to watch a movie, and then have the deleted scenes start playing right after the final scene of the finished film, ya know?

I've heard it put that way before -- in Pitchfork's review of the UT reissues.

 

"I'm the rare bitch who resents bonus tracks. They violate the sequencing of classic albums; imagine how a film's coherence would be disrupted if the "deleted scenes" played right after the denouement..."

I feel like bonus tracks are defiantly an extension of the record. When the last track plays, it usually feels like some sort of closure.

I like what the EELS did for one of their records. They added about 15 seconds of dead space before the bonus track started playing.

 

you can ALWAYS make a playlist of just the album. :)

Bonus tracks depends on the album...for instance The Suburbs has a definite beginning and end and the recent deluxe edition that has two bonus tracks completely ruins that flow.

 

If it screws up the flow I usually just put them in a second folder and label it "B-Sides"

Got the email update from Kung Fu with a few more [tantalizing?] product offers, including the Wilco koozie, which looks more like a beer sweater than a koozie. Either way (ahem) it's $10 for one. Pass. If it were a set of koozies, for $10 I'd do it. But not for one. And I don't want a yo-yo.

this must be the hot new thing. I just saw my local brew-pub is selling can koozies, although they don't sell can, just bottles................. But they are only $2.50 a piece, not $10!

I was really hoping that those koozies were made by a bunch of Wilco gramma's in the Kay-Settes Knitting Club from Boise or something like that. Alas, according to the website it's a group of hipsters in NC. Or they're all made in China and the whole thing is a marketing ploy.

 

Really, you never know.

I just ordered the vinyl there and lowest shipping option was $9.80.

 

here is what the email in part read that i got from kung fu last week:

We're writing you regarding a few updates to The Whole Love Pre-OrderStore that might impact your order.We are offering media mail shipping for $5 to customers within theUnited States who ordered the vinyl LP by itself (transit time of 7 to10 business days once the order ships). If you would like to change theshipping method of your order to media mail, please let us know and wewill be able to adjust the shipping cost and refund any applicableshipping cost difference to your card or PayPal account. Unfortunately,this method is not available to international customers or customersthat have anything other than media on their order.

Did the deed yesterday. Pleased to see that there was the double 'extras' CD available right up front on initial release, and without any extraneous bits and pieces, so maybe someone listened to my earlier grumbling.

Ta very much.

well actually you are still missing some bonus tracks..the only version of the album that has all the tracks is the Itunes one.

Whats the deal with pre orders on itunes? Is it cheaper than buying it on release day or are the bonus track's only going to be available with the pre order?

 

The iTunes version should always have all of the bonus tracks -- that's the way it's been with other albums from Wilco and other artists. The AGIB 'Tour Edition' in the store still has 17 tracks on it.
