One of my favorite parts of that doc is when Laminated Cat is being teased or demo'd or whatever. Here's something in case anyone missed it: https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/ ... toget.html Tracklist doesn't seem amazing on paper, but who knows 01. “Via Chicago” 02. “Laminated Cat” 03. “Lost Love” 04. “Muzzle Of Bees” 05. “Ashes Of American Flags” 06. “Dawned On Me” 07. “In A Future Age” 08. “I’m Trying To Break Your Heart” 09. “Hummingbird” 10. “I’m Always In Love” 11. “Sky Blue Sky” |

Richard Thompson made an album like this a few years ago (probably around the time of Americanarama and the Tweedy-produced "Still" so maybe that's where he got the idea). I'm willing to be proven wrong but I'm pretty ambivalent about this. I also wonder why he chose this instead of a proper release of one of his many solo shows. |

Count me as also ambivalent. I'm certainly not upset about it...But Tweedy without Wilco, doing a bunch of stripped down songs I already own, is not super interesting to me. Maybe if it were a live set I had attended I'd feel differently. |

Suit yourselves. I'm always looking for more background music to have on while I'm computing or doing dishes. |

I imagine these versions will simply be guitar/voice/possibly harmonica. |

That live album doesn't get old for me. |

I kind of want to pick up summerteeth and being there. Those albums really trigger that late teens early 20s nostalgia along with YHF. |

This sounds great, and very reminiscent of Eddie's own Dead Man. Jeff does a great job of building the tension with just the guitar. One of my favorites off Wilco (The Album), I should make an effort to listen to that record more. It's almost like their own Avocado album -- a bunch of stellar songs that are basically retreads of songs they've done before. But it's way better than Avocado. |

This is what I came up with before: tragabigzanda wrote: A Ghost Is Born Sky Blue Sky Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Star Wars Schmilco Wilco (The Album) Being There AM Summerteeth The Whole Love I'd say it's more or less the same today. My biggest problem is with spots 3-5. I can always appreciate the genius that is YHF, but I'll be damned if I ever put it on these days. It's a fairly impenetrable record, and I've really come around to the smooth taste of Sky Blue Sky, Star Wars, and Schmilco. So they would probably get shuffled on any given day. But AGIB will always be my favorite, and Wilco (The Album) and everything below that aren't apt to change any time soon. |

yeah, here's mine (it hasn't change since page 1 except for the 2 new albums that came out): 1. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot 2. AGIB 3. Being There 4. Summerteeth 5. Star Wars 6. The Whole Love 7. Sky Blue Sky 8. Schmilco 9. Wilco 10. AM |
