knotgreen Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 They have named albums after two movies now...Being There and Star Wars. I'm ok with the album titles. Love this: "Twelve new songs and a vibe that Jeff Tweedy calls “joyously negative.”"Joyously Negative ™ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
milenaferrante Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Hi, do you know if the orange vinyl version exists. It is listed in the pre-order but when you pre-order what comes up is black vinyl. Does it mean orange is over or it really does not exist? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I'll be that guy: Wilco (The Album)Star WarsSchmilco Wilco is falling into a pattern of lazy album titles. I prefer bands come up with their own shit. I can't fault them on the quality of the music, however, and that's the main thing that matters. But still, it's all part of the package, and I prefer none of it be lazy. I don't know if I'd say those are lazy album titles. I definitely don't think they take naming their albums as serious as they did with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot or A Ghost Is Born. Fortunately, they still take their music seriously so I'd guess it's actually a sign of maturity. ..If that makes sense?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Also because I can't turn my brain off from this stuff, I posted the chords in the tabs section for folks that want to play along. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino4evr Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 strange, when I ordered the Gum was listed in my cart, but it's not shown on the invoice or order page? Does that mean I didn't get it? I literally ordered within 5 minutes of the site going live. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I said this on the FB group, but the artwork is very similar to Katamari Damacy. Joan Cornellà's work is very much his own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Is everyone going to chew their gum? I almost feel bad destroying such a limited collectors item! strange, when I ordered the Gum was listed in my cart, but it's not shown on the invoice or order page? Does that mean I didn't get it? I literally ordered within 5 minutes of the site going live.Maybe e-mail Kung Fu? I ordered mine at 7:20 PT and when I check my e-mail confirmation the gum is listed below the album.

rhino4evr Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 The site is getting hammered at the moment. FYI..my order does say "Orange Limited Edition". Could they be sold out already? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 It's a Jewish joke. A Yiddishism actually. Adding the schm to the beginning of a word is a term of derision. An interesting decision for a name?

rhino4evr Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 My order was at 9:10 AM Eastern...and the gum isn't listed on my order details, even though I know it was on my checkout screen. Weird. I emailed Kung Fu. Hopefully I didn't miss out!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveMck Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 The same thing happened to me - maybe it's sold out already. I'm a sucker for colored vinyl. Update: Seems to be working fine now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rhino4evr Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I got an email from Kung fu, they said that the gum is going to be handed out based on order number, in which I made the cut. Thanks god, I don't know what I would do without this gum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tstrapac Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I remember Jeff saying that when they made agib they had material to make a garage/punk record, a noise rock record and a folk record but they ended up weaving an eclectic album. My holy grail! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gopokes Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 For those questioning availability, I placed my order at 11:38 central time and will be receiving the orange vinyl and the gum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThisIsNowhere Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Got the orange vinyl and I think I got the gum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was wondering if they'd do something unique for indies. Good to see. Lots of options for collectors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be there for the midnight release. As I've said before, that's a great place to go and look at & buy records and they do midnight releases every week. It's also where I got a free white pressing of Sukierae autographed by Jeff & Spencer. My pics are too large to upload, but I'm sure that they're in here somewhere. I'll try from my Mac later. It's a nice piece. On a humorous note, has anyone received an email from Wilco HQ regarding Schmilco? I find it funny that they asked for emails and we found out a lot of stuff on our own. I'm guessing it'll come in very soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I've received three from them so far.Really?! Wow! Yeah, still nothing. Anyone else in the same boat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino4evr Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I have two Wilco world emails... anyway...I actually ordered the "White" vinyl from Bull Moose. I had a feeling they would do a "indie store only" release too. I wonder which one is more rare (pressing wise). I prefer Orange to pink though.I see the pink pressing is 7,000. that's quite a bit for a limited pressing. Usually those type of pressings are under 5k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Muzzle of Dan Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 The digital album from Google Play Music says it'll be released September 9th. They could still surprise everyone and gift it... but I dunno if they'd do that 2 years in a row. Edit: For those that prefer to listen before they buy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzLZtj-twXQ Thanks for the link. This song is great! Love the production. All the instruments and vocals sound great! - particularly the drums and acoustic guitars. So stoked for this record! Even more excited about those 3 shows in LA now!
