Wow, I can't believe it's taken this long.

Possibly my favourite band. From Tupelo til now. Being There rules the school. Can't wait for the newie. Shame about that DVD.

god willymilly

let it go buddy


newguy  said about 5 years ago:

Doesn't Pitchfork like 'em anymore?


williammiller  said about 5 years ago:

Not sure newguy.

I still love them.

I wish he'd stop with all those side projects and make another record. They have lots of songs already


capo3rdfret  said about 5 years ago:

at least thats what they said !


medicineman  said about 5 years ago:

best american band of the last 10 years.


blake3030  said about 5 years ago:

I like Wilco.

get bored of them pretty quickly though.

Half an album does me fine when i'm in the mood.


montyclift  said about 5 years ago:

big call med, but if not, as close as fuck is to swearing.


newguy  said about 5 years ago:

Sorry will, that was directed elsewhere :)

I'm definitely a card-carrying member of the 'Wilco Rules' club. Will never tire of 'Being There'!


williammiller  said about 5 years ago:

Yeah Being There is amazing.

Top 5 off the top of my head

Misunderstood. Via Chicago. I'm the Man Who Loves You. Say You Miss Me. Hummingbird.


medicineman  said about 5 years ago:

hahah monty. that's classic.


Wonky  said about 5 years ago:

YHF is definitely in my top 10.

I think they're just about due for another album aren't they?


buddychilzelski  said about 5 years ago:

You can download a couple new tracks (live) from Chromewaves. I haven't listened to them yet but have them on my I Pod ready for airing.


williammiller  said about 5 years ago:

yeah got them already. That song Is That the Thanks I Get is great. Very early 70s soul pop


thisispants  said about 5 years ago:

Wilco are probably the greatest band I've ever heard.

But I hope they get away from the whole jam band thing they seem to be heading towards.

AM, Being There, Summerteeth, THF are all classics!

A Ghost is born is ok... some crackers, some slappers....well, as slappery as wilco can get, which is still pretty crackery really.

I'm done.


josejones  said about 5 years ago:

The next Wilco album is always my favourite Wilco album.


redwhiteblackblue  said about 5 years ago:

<i>But I hope they get away from the whole jam band thing they seem to be heading towards. </i>

NO WAY. a ghost is born is the best thing they have ever done.
every wilco album just exceeds the last.


poprocks96  said about 5 years ago:

they have been keeping me company all day. how friggin awesome is summer teeth ?

ahhh, via chicago.


littlearch  said about 5 years ago:

i really love a ghost is born

i've got to pull out summer teeth and give it another spin

i might go buy the book this week, i need a treat

more or less, one of my all time favourite bands

and my best gig ever


medicineman  said about 5 years ago:

yep i agree with jose - each able is better than the last... a ghost is born s fucking rad.


redwhiteblackblue  said about 5 years ago:

yeah hell yeah. when i saw them in london they did this awesome acoustic version of via chicago. fierce as.
they are TIGHT live always fucking with their songs and throwing something new into the mix.
tweedy what a hero!

anonymous  said about 7 months ago:

ruh roh.


mud  said about 7 months ago:

It's already been announced as a Nick Lowe tour for those dates.

Note that they're not asterixed.


poprocks96  said about 7 months ago:

I was just going by this link. Couldn't see any asterixes aside from at the bottom.

shrugs

The Forum one says with ''special guests''. Could be way off.


mud  said about 7 months ago:

I hope I'm wrong.


poprocks96  said about 7 months ago:

Maybe Yep Roc forgot to remove that from some previous shows. Would seem odd to announce Nick Lowe and not Wilco.


mrmagoo  said about 7 months ago:

rumoured for Bluesfest i think


anonymous  said about 7 months ago:

which is 5th to the 9th of april next year, fits somewhat.


mark  said about 7 months ago:

You guys are good in finding these hidden tours....whoever the hell Nick Lowe is, thanks for touring with WILCO :)


mark  said about 7 months ago:

The only problem is the Wilco site has them playing in Switzerland on the 7th and Italy on the 8th March 2012. On Nick Lowe's site they are suppose to be playing together in London on those dates.


misatokatsuragi  said about 7 months ago:

The low point in Wilco's career is the trilogy of Hate It Here, Walken and Shake It Off.

Yes.

Just awful plodding songs with terrible lyrics.

YES.

They are why Sky Blue Sky gets so much hate. Without them it would be a very solid album.

YES AND YES.

Also the outtake 'The Thanks I Get' is better and should have been on the album.

YESYESYESYESYESYESYES.

Also, if you don't know who Nick Lowe is, you are a very deprived individual.


poprocks96  said about 7 months ago:

I think it's all a mistake from the Yep Roc site. Damn you! However, I can not wait to see Nick Lowe again.

you must at least know this one

mark  said about 7 months ago:

yep know that one - wouldn't pay $90 to hear that song though...


misatokatsuragi  said about 7 months ago:

Me neither! He was so wonderful at the Palais with Ry Cooder a few years back. So much love for that man.

Nels Cline giving a 40 minute run down of all his gear.

The bit when he gets to the pedals is best!
