lost highway Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I don't know anything more than the next Wilco nerd, but when Jeff talks on his Substack about how their archivist (Cheryl Pawelski who curated the YHF reissue) has been hanging around the Loft with him, you know they're getting ready to shake loose some recording you've never heard. AGIB 20 Year is being prepped. That's my prediction at least. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chisoxjtrain Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I think we all need to hear the original, uncut drone from Less Thank You Think. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 The timing makes sense for a fall release. Hopefully this means we finally get the Wilco Book on vinyl. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Wilco Book CD is a compilation of the (12?) Fundamentals session recordings, right? Would love to hear more of those! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would love to hear more of those! Yeah, I remember Jeff saying after all of the scrutiny they put into perfecting YHF he wanted to practice making "records" in real time. I think they did it multiple times. Like anything, I'm sure there's plenty of stuff no one ever needed to hear, but there are probably some gems. Maybe even the hammer dulcimer licks that made it into real songs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marijn Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 From a 2004 Spin interview: Quote Several of the songs on A Ghost Is Bornare the result of a process the band calls “fundamentals”: Tweedy played an acoustic guitar and sang random lyrics while the others listened in another room; the rest of the band then performed along with Tweedy while he remained in isolation (they could hear him, but he couldn’t hear them). These half-hour sessions were burned onto CDs; Tweedy would later listen to the discs at home and try to turn fragments into individual songs. https://www.spin.com/2019/11/wilco-jeff-tweedy-a-ghost-is-born-july-2004-interview-a-ghost-story/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCP Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 @radiatortunes sent this to me before my alarm went this morning, so after I turned it off this tweet was the first thing I saw. I admit in my still mostly asleep state of mind my initial thought was "fuck, that won't fit on my record shelf". But if they're teasing us, maybe an actual announcement is imminent?!
