Atticus Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 House is quiet. Great time to work on honing the toneprint on my TC Flashback and reading really important things on the interwebs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Plus I have to get to Whataburger by 7:45 before I go to the nut hut at 8:30 on Saturdays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linclink Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 First of all thanks to "The Inside Of The Outside" for the kind words. Here's a little something to keep the glass half full...Here's the second song from the album for us to enjoy, "World Away". Even though I totally understand & appreciate the no camera rules (I don't do them at shows), I, paradoxically, also am very glad to have what has been documented as well. There are three videos from last night's show in Pittsburgh (this, "Spiders (Kidsmoke)" & "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart"- all taken by the same person) & one expects more stuff like this to show up from any of the Festival shows...

lost highway Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 But I am disappointed that he's not playing much lead or electric on this tour. Yeah, it kind of makes sense that he's playing acoustic all the time at this point. Other than the drums, all of the instruments on the record were played by Jeff, so he really could approach the band interpretations of what they recorded from whichever instrument and teach everyone else the parts from the record. The acoustic is probably the simplest way for him to hold down the chord progressions, follow the blueprint of the new songs, and focus on singing. I wouldn't be shocked if an electric guitar comes out more as the tour goes on. Meanwhile you get to hear a very competent electric guitarist play parts that Jeff wrote.

bleedorange Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I definitely want to hear more of Jeff on lead guitar. I personally think having Nels there initiated the creative downturn of Wilco. But that's another topic. Looking forward to hearing the new stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I will say 1000 percent that it must take MASSIVE cajones to go to some festival like this and play like TEN new songs in a row from the beginning!!!I for sure cant think of ANY touring act now or in the past that would even attempt such a thing!Anyone??PS I already love World Away or whatever its called Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I checked out "I'll Sing It'... My first reaction: But I'll listen to it again.. Maybe I didn't listen to it correctly, because everyone else seems to be batshit over it. However, Spencer is the shit on drums.. He kind of has that old school, Levon Helm feel to his playing. Apple doesn't fall far, etc... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I like summer noon. At least the live version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I also really like New Moon, High as Hello, Low Key, Honey Combed and Diamond Light Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Another vote for Summer Noon. Already the sound of summer 2014 for me after a few listens courtesy of nyctaper on a lovely sunny day in London. Another top notch pop song to go with the likes of Magazine Called Sunset and Dawned On Me. Looking forward to the album version with a touch more bouncy production freshness. So how many of the 20 new songs have been premiered now? Must be at least 5 still not heard? Would love to know the history of these songs - all written in the last few months / some from the reported slew of songs written for The Whole Love / some that have already been discarded from those being considered for the next album (there were some initial sessions weren't there?) / random mixture with some resurrected from old notebooks as has happened before / etc. / etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A Radio Cure Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Just saw this on a facebook post from The Loft: The TWEEDY double record "Sukierae" is set for release Sept 16th but you can catch the band live NOW and throughout the summer! Did we previously know it was a double record? Wonder if this means double vinyl / single CD, or an actual double album like Being There... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to hearing the new stuff.i agree about Nels. they had some great potential when he joined the band, but nothing has really panned out. there's a reason AGIB and the loose fur records are killer…it's all Tweedy and and Kotche (of course O'Rourke has some say :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I also think that when Tweedy has to step up as a lead guitarist he brings something very unique and human to the six strings. Nels and O'Rourke have been quoted saying as much about Jeff's guitar playing. When we listen to the record we'll hear Jeff on lead. He's the only guitar player (bass player, keyboardist?) on there.

Al.Ducts Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I hadn't heard anything beyond the single until this morning, but I found a compilation of (really excellent quality) live recordings from the band. Pleased with what I'm hearing so far. While I enjoyed the most recent Wilco releases for the most part, I'm happy to hear the noise and weirdness and oddly structured songs employed more broadly. I think we've had enough time to cry on the sonic shoulder. More jagged guitar and drone-y goodness, please. Some of it feels like it could fit on an imaginary, stretched-out version of the More Like the Moon/Australian EP. Which for me, is a very very good thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Muzzle of Dan Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Been listening to the Mountain Jam show a bunch this week - Fake Fur Coat is probably my favorite of the new tracks. I also really dig Slow Love and Diamond Light (already ordered my Vinyl of that one). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I haven't been in here in a long while so go easy on me, please! How do you pronounce "Sukierae" and what does it mean/what's the derivation? I've used all my powers of deduction to come up with this: Su = Sue = his wife's name. After that I'm lost. All I got in my mind when I see the Sukierae is Vampire Bill from True Blood.

Atticus Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 has someone compiled all the live songs that have appeared so far (plus "I'll Sing It") for a list of potential tracks? I have seen so far: Desert Bell Diamond Light Down From Above Fake Fur Coat Flowering High As Hello Honey Combed I'll Sing It Low Key New Moon Nobody Dies Anymore Slow Love Summer Noon Wait For Love Where My Love World Away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bleedorange Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 The Tweedy setlist from Dallas is posted below. According to the poster, "Hazel" was the only song played that has not been played before. I was pretty encouraged by what I heard. The five-song stretch of Flowering, Hazel, Summer Noon, Honey Combed, and Desert Bell didn't really grab me. Of course, I was in the mezzanine towards the back and that might be more a result of where I was sitting. However, World Away sounded great and the band seemed energized once they played that one. The rest of the set was great. I'm anxious to hear the album now. Down From Above*Diamond Light*Flowering*Hazel* (first time played)Summer Noon*Honey Combed*Desert Bell*World Away*New Moon*Fake Fur Coat #High As Hello*Low Key*Slow Love*Nobody Dies Anymore* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff18 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I was at the Cain's show in Tulsa. The highlights for me of the new stuff was definitely Diamond Light, New Moon, High as Hello and Nobody Dies Anymore. Liked most of the other stuff, but those four really stood out for me.Holy cow - I just realized that was my first post. I've lurked here forever.... can't believe that was my first post, lol.
