lost highway Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I'm really digging "Where My Love" right now…reminds me of Golden Smog…its got a similar feel to "All the Same to Me" which is a personal favorite of mine That one is a haunting beauty. The piano especially gets me. It reminds me of something else that I can't place. It would work well in a film. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 In fact, I'm gonna come out and say that I strongly disagree with the Disc 2 haters. I can imagine myself crawling inside of those songs and living with them this fall. It's perfect for dropping temperatures and changing colors. The only complaint I can share is that the songs, and also the treatments on 'Hazel' and 'I'll Never Know' feels just a little wrong for ending this hour and ten minute album. Maybe just a little too loose and ramshackle. I think he could have ended with 'Fake Fur Coat'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twoshedsjackson Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Lucky you, twosheds! Now I'm really anxious for mine. Will be meeting my mail carrier at the door on Monday, but hopefully not acting like this woman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJye229QbVs "Just gimme my music! Unless you're speaking Sukierae into my hands, I don't wanna hear it!!!" It's difficult to express how much I love this album. There are a few songs on here that may end up among my all-time favorite Jeff Tweedy songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BillLee Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Received the 180g vinyl yesterday on my doorstep - there was much rejoicing. Currently on my second listen. The vinyl is flat and quiet. The sound is excellent, intimate soundstage as if Jeff and Spencer are playing in my living room. Tip of the cap to Executive Producer Samuel L. Tweedy. Current faves are Diamond Light and Summer Noon, but album seems like one of those growers which will yield new faves every couple listens. Psyched to continue to dig in.

linclink Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Apparently posted on youtube a few days ago, & taped on 7/23 at WFUV with just Jeff on acoustic & Spencer on drums..."Love Like A Wire": "Flowering": "New Moon": Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino4evr Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 has anyone heard that B-side that was on the limited run of the Summer Noon 7 inch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

linclink Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 The liner notes are amazing guys. The pictures! It's like he's sharing a family album with us or something.Liner notes, eh? Well the eagle had landed here, but it's a CD eagle, & apparently there's a hierarchy of landing eagles & it looks like the vinyl's got something mine ain't got. Too bad, it doesn't seem like it would take much to include that really. Just a few extra pages in the lyric booklet. Hopefully it'll surface somewhere to read...soooooo...if anyone has it to share, please do. Thanks in advance... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Mine has arrived too. Linclink, I got both the cd and album and from the fast skim I've done (all I've had time for so far on this busy day) the two seem to contain exactly the same notes and pictures. Nice having the photos in larger form on the album. The picture of Jeff & Sue is so sweet! And the colored vinyl is gorgeous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scribex6 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Does the vinyl come with the album on CD as well, like Wilco have done with their other vinyl releases? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I picked up the yellow colored vinyl at the show last night and yes, it does contain the CD. I also, of course, had preordered the CD (bundled with something or other) but haven't gotten it yet in the mail--maybe it will be waiting for me at home. But I think there are just the pictures--no actual liner notes per se, at least not in terms of the written word. And Samuel L. Tweedy is indeed the executive producer. The pictures are just adorable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Mine had the lyrics on the dust jacket of the actual LPs. Unfortunately the cover got a bent corner in shipping. Not enough of a setback to return it, just enough to put a small damper on the "new stuff in the mail" joy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twoshedsjackson Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Tweedy will be on Colbert tonight with the Lucious gals (who'll also be joining them in Brooklyn tomorrow night!). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Sorry for the confusion- by liner notes I meant the pictures, I just consider all booklets with CD's liner notes... my bad. Also, the Summer Noon B-side is good. Kinda punk-ish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clayton Kershaw Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I decided to visit my local independent record store tonight just a hair before midnight, even though I already bought this on iTunes to get the 8 tracks as they came in. Let me explain to you what happened. I see the latest issue of Magnet with Jeff & Spencer and decide to pick that up. I found the double disc set and head to the register to get on the road to hear this. The polite young woman told me that the issue of Magnet is free at the store. OK. Cool. She hands me a poster which is really cool, as you can see. I thank her for this and I'm on my way out. Her coworker runs behind the counter and tells me not to leave. She pulls out what appears to be 2 albums and she reads the handwritten note on it that says to give these out to the first 2 customers to buy the album. She flips it over and the album on the bottom is signed by both Jeff & Spencer, so she hands me the autographed one and I was in shock. $12.97 for the double disc and everything else was free.

Mr. Heartbreak Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Got mine in the mail yesterday and started listening to it on the road. I've gotten through all of disc one and part of disc two (thanks, traffic jam!), and I'm really digging it so far. I think the first disc has enough variations in style to keep a listener's interest, and I haven't heard anything "forgettable" or "filler" on disc two yet. I also think there are probably enough really strong songs on both discs to warrant splitting the album up into two separate parts like this. It occurred to me that the whole thing is, technically, short enough to fit on one CD (70 minutes), so the decision to have two discrete CDs was an artistic one. I can understand that.More to follow...had only heard most of these tracks once, streamed at my work computer at a low volume, so I am just now getting a feel for them.

That's awesome! Is anyone planning on ripping that B-side?I wonder if the B-sides will be released on another release down the road... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I don't know how to rip it, otherwise I would, but I don't think my record player does that kind of thing. That is way cool you got the test pressing, Clayton Kershaw! Lucky dude! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
