Wilco on Austin City Limits


I saw them on Austin City Limits recently and was really impressed with this band. They have a great sound, interesting lyrics and Nels Cline is an absolute MF on the guitar.

Anybody heard Nels new album?

Wilco is one of my favorite bands. Every release is a bit different from the rest.
"The Thanks I Get" is not on any release. Although it was offered as a extra as a download with purchase of the Sky Blue Sky album when it was first released.

here is a link to a nice performance of the song from Tweedy's solo dvd Sunken' Treasure". I was fortunate enough to be at this show in Portland.

Most music from unfamiliar bands take more then one listen for it to sink in for me. The extra few spins helps me find new music. Some times you just have to sit with it for it to sink in. YHF was one Wilco recored that was that way for me. As time passed and with many listens it's now one of my desert island disc.

You should rent the Sam Jones film on the making of the recored called "I'm Trying To Break your Heart" It might be easier for someone unfamiliar with the Band and the recored to be entertained. And maybe give the music a better chance of touching you.

I'm 44 and i am still looking for new music. no matter if its from a new band or a old band i just had not been exposed to.
Wilco not only will be around by this time next year but they will likely have a new release that will be on the verge of gold status in sales, even though they give every release away via their web site for free.
Wilco will probably be headlining arenas in the next two or three years.

come on rockboy stop living in the past. You need a steady dose of Wilco, Arcade Fire, M. Ward, Ryan Adams, Of Montreal, The National, Andrew Bird... stop me when you have heard any of these artist ...
