Kalle Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Hey all, figured it was my duty to give you the rundown on the new Tweedy 10". Side A - the actual Diamond Light tune. Sounds really good, super boxy sounding drums, lots of good crazy sounds in the background. Way more fleshed out and full sounding compared to the live show IMO. Jeff double tracked his voice on it and there is a ton of GROOVE, sort of cross between Bull Black Nova and Radiohead's Where I End And You Begin. Side B - picks up where side A left off, instrumental noise piece, not unlike the stuff off of the Wilco book. Sound-wise it's similar to "I'll Sing It", not totally lo-fi but definitely not as hi-fi sounding as the past few Wilco records. The Wilco book songs are a really good comparison I think.

bböp Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 FYI, I was subsequently told that the single was meant to be a tour-exclusive thing as opposed to being just available at the Detroit gig (though I don't think they were selling it in Pittsburgh last night). So ultimately, who knows how many they pressed? But I was told that it should be available at other tour stops... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Someone posted that he played on at Mt. Jam that he didn't do in Pittsburgh... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

reedybird Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Does anyone know of a link to this tune?!?!? I'm very intrigued. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Sweet, really hope they have copies available at the chicago show! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Does anyone know of a link to this tune?!?!? I'm very intrigued. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm-5J2C-8Bo This 30 odd minute video has (most of ?) JT's solo segment and then the Diamond Light encore. It seems to be have a really hypnotic feel, though perhaps not at its most effective in this setting/situation. The 'noise' seems complimentary/effective here - the sort of criteria which define the limit of my appreciation for it - I think the B side would be too much for me :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobfrombob Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 If anybody gets me one of these, I'll pay for cost, shipping, and finder's fee or something. I'm pretty much positive it won't be available in Ottawa (since it's a festival show) thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A Radio Cure Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 http://wilco.kungfustore.com/category/41-projects/product/4764-diamond-light-10-wil700 Looks like it's available at the Wilco store. I asked about it in Pittsburgh, and they said that they sold the initial 120 in Detroit and that they would have more by Louisville. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Madcap Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 small price to pay for new Tweedy prior to the album release. pre-ordered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linclink Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Just a reminder that I still currently have an extra of these that's up for grabs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 For those who care about such things, I happened to see a sign at the merch table in Nashville last night saying that there were 2,000 of these pressed. Which makes sense. So that's the "limited edition," fwiw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 This is $15?!?!?!?!?!?!? Good lord.have you bought a 10" recently for less? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bleedorange Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 have you bought a 10" recently for less? Not sure when I last bought a 10" so I couldn't say what the going rate is. But rare or not, $15 seems unnecessarily steep. Of course, LPs are overpriced too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'll refrain from making any horny old woman jokes about the relative value of 10" for $15. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
