remphish1 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Anyone know how to obtain one of these magazines at this point? The Newsstand website no longer has it available.Just got one on eBay for $11 shipped Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Whitney's cover of Far, Far Away is streaming on Spotify (and I assume elsewhere) now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukestar Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 This is great....simply because Billy Gibbons and Jeff pair up for a Casino Queen bonus track... https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/12289 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Picked up the vinyl today via RSD. Casino Queen is really killer. I would love to see classic rock artists put together a volume II. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would love to see classic rock artists put together a volume II. Did I miss you at Laurie's? Anyway, I love this project! Classic rock artists would be interesting, but I most enjoyed some of the tracks by younger artists that either attempted a deeper cut, tried to do something different with an arrangement or at least put their own stamp on whatever song they chose. That Parquet Courts mashup, for example...I'm not sure if I like it or if it went overboard, but I admire them for trying something different. I think Jeff has half-jokingly said he liked this project because it showed that at least some younger musicians/bands still like him/Wilco, and I'm not sure he would get — or even need/want — that from the "classic rock" contingent? But who knows? Speaking of Wilcovered, I happened to catch this cool cover of Love Is Everywhere (Beware) the other day on a KCRW session by a Dutch artist that I hadn't heard of before, Nana Adjoa. Check it out at the end of her short set, if you're so inclined... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 If you're still looking for it, try Discogs. They had a bunch but many are shipped from overseas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you are right about it being great with the young artists and imagine that was a much more fun approach than if Jeff had had to work with Roger McGuinn or Neil Young for example.

TCP Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I thought Ohmme had the best cover, they really adapted it well into their own style while keeping the heart of the song the same. Ryley Walker was great too, really appreciated that he did a new song. I loved Kurt Vile's take on Passenger Side. This was at least the third Wilco song from Courtney, after Handshake Drugs at SSF and Jesus Etc on a stream once. She must be a genuine Wilco fan, I wonder what her VC handle was back in the day?? Twin Peaks cover was the only one that felt a little too safe, IMHO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Inside of Outside Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I'm liking the Parquet Courts mashup - it's pretty bold. I'm also liking the safest one on there, Twin Peaks' Spiders (Kidsmoke). The only one I did not like the first time through is Low's take on War on War. I like Low; I do not like what they did with War on War. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
knotgreen Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I finally got around to listening to the LPs. They sound nice, despite being warped (signature GZ quality control). Cool gatefold, though. Were the little blurbs from Jeff and the contributing musicians in the magazine when the CD was released? To be honest, I'm not sure I ever opened the magazine.

bböp Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 I actually haven’t cracked my copy of the vinyl yet, though the warpage is a little disconcerting. But yeah, there was a two-page spread in the magazine with blurbs from Jeff and/or the contributors, so they probably just reproduced that... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 A colored vinyl version of this is now available at the Wilcostore FYI. Pretty tempting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Yesterday I found my old copy of the Wilcovered/Ode to Joy Uncut magazine, so I reread the article. It talks a bit about how percussion is sort of the lead instrument on Ode to Joy. I remember a lot of reviews emphasizing that, so I decided to listen to the record earlier today and pay specific attention to the percussion. I hadn't listened to this record since before Covid, so it was all pretty fresh to my ears and I was hearing some details I hadn't picked up on previously. Sure enough, there was percussion rumbling away in the background. It was getting gradually louder, almost thunderous, and I wondered why I had never noticed it before. Glenn was making quite a ruckus. But then I realized it was just my wife dragging the trash can up the driveway from the curb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It might be a bit distracting though, if in the middle of the noisy part of Via Chicago, Glenn strode offstage and then returned dragging a trash can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I should go out there with a hand held recorder and get my wife to pull in the trash cans. Maybe I can beat Glenn to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have to make sure she understands her motivation...which is to record garbage can percussion sounds on a recording that'll almost definitely never get any farther than my little Tascam recorder before Glenn Kotche does the same thing on a Wilco record that gets released world wide. Just so I'll have bragging rights. With that understanding, she's sure to see the importance of this effort and deliver a performance filled with heart and soul. As a bonus, there's going to be a big electrical storm later this week, so we can go out there and do a storm version of it, too. She won't mind getting soaked and possibly struck by lightning.
