tinnitus photography Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 you in contact w/ Henry? he's a good dude. I finally met him in person at an ATP festival a few years back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I've only talked with him on the phone but yes, his name is Henry so I'm sure that's the same guy. Small world! This all evolved from Susan Tweedy posting the t-shirt on her FB page. I bought it and then noticed that Jeff was wearing it at shows and I thought it would be a cool idea for us to show some unity at Solid Sound. It kind of mushroomed from there. Now I hear that Henry spoke with Susan and wanted to make sure we wouldn't have a problem if Wilco decided to promote the t-shirt on its own. I told him I thought it would be fine. By the way, 100% of the proceeds (not just profits) from the sale of the shirt will be supporting Center of Excellence. Henry's wife is an immigration lawyer and this is an organization of people who help out at airports, etc. for people with immigration issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Diane, I love that our money is going to support such a great cause. Thanks for spearheading this thing! What a nice show of unity in troubled times! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thejokeexplained Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I can't get enough of Kevin Morby! I have been playing him on Spotify relentlessly for about two weeks. I can really hear the Tweety influence in his songwriting and singing style. Just picked up his back catalogue on vinyl for a pretty good price for all three at https://www.merchbar.com/. Anyone else become a fan since his announcement on the SSV bill? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I know, right? The past few days I've had Singing Saw on endless repeat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Just this second got the tweet. Fun! I'm voting for Being There, no question about that for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
knotgreen Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Wow.... While it's not my favorite Wilco album, I too am voting for BT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 that's kind of cool, will vote for summerteeth even though I won't be there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 BT has the most songs; ergo, the sane choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Being There all the way. The crown jewel, the album that has it all. Summerteeeth also would be pretty cool, but the album with NINETEEN FREAKING SONGS should be the clear winner here. There's a damn good chance you're gonna hear a chunk of YHF and AGIB anyway. C'mon people, make it happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dasradiohead Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Schmilco!!! How flattered would the band feel to have their latest work, probably the one where they've all contributed the most equally, selected? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mariana neri Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Unfortunatelly I won't be able to attend the festival this year but If they play Summerteeth send me Pieholden Suite videos PLEASEEEEEEE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How flattered would the band feel to have their latest work, probably the one where they've all contributed the most equally, selected?Your vote is your vote, but there's no way any of us should collectively pass up the opportunity for them to play all of Being There. Voting for Schmilco would be about half of a set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 You are making good arguments. I'm all indecisive, for the moment at least. It will be interesting to see how the votes tally up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mizzy Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Why would someone vote for Yankee Hotel Foxtrot? The band plays half that album every single night. I'm not trying to be mean, or ridicule someone's choice, but seriously Heavy Metal Drummer, Jesus Etc., I'm the Man Who Loves You, I am Trying to Break Your Heart, are pretty much a given at every show. And then when you factor in that over the course of two days they'll probably add in Ashes as well as War on War you've got almost the whole thing right there. Vote for whatever you want, except that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shawnsolo73 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 It looks like a close race between YHF and BT. While I agree with and understand the voters for YHF I have to make a clear case for BT. You'll hear MANY of the songs from YHF if you attend a few Wilco shows. At least 2-3 any given night plus a deeper cut from time to time. Hell, I've seen them about 10 times and have still never seen Kamera...But a chance to hear all of Being There. In full? That is a no brainer to me. I've never seen Far, Far Away, What's The World Got In Store, Say You Miss Me, Sunken Treasure, I'm assuming they'd play the alternate Outta Sight Outta Mind as well, Someone Else's Song, The Lonely 1...Shit! I haven't seen 1/2 of that release! So... For the love of all that is good and pure...Please consider voting for BT. Vote early! Vote often! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Voting for Schmilco would be about half of a set. I sincerely doubt the entire set will be made up of one album. They'll play a regular length set with the album somewhere in there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shawnsolo73 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I totally agree, otherwise it would be a crazy short set. BUT if you want a certain whole release played... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Let me rephrase my statement: voting for Schmilco would be voting for one of the weaker Wilco albums...and an album that they've already been touring on. Voting for Being There gets you a full set's worth of classic Wilco, including many songs rarely performed by this lineup, some of the best pure rock 'n roll songs, power pop, the old alt-country, psychedelia and all sorts of amazing songs and styles in-between.

theashtraysays Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Regarding the "lack of enthusiasm" for the YHF proponents: Anyone who thinks that hearing "Poor Places" --> "Reservations" is worth their vote is A-OK in my book. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linclink Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I'm voting for "Being There" myself, for the obvious double album reason & it's brilliant to boot... but... it looks like it's gonna be "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" & that's great too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 No skin in the game but AM all the way! Sunmerteeth next (can't believe We're just friends doesn't get played more) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Let's all vote for AM! It's all about the deep cuts, folks. (Being There actually got my vote..... strategic voting, etc). Though really, I wish there was an option to vote for all the Jeff-on-lead-vocal-songs from Mermaid Avenue 1-3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
