Together at Last is the solo album I'd been waiting for ever since that solo show footage on I Am Trying to Break Your Heart. Just Jeff, a guitar, a harmonica and some Wilco songs I know and love repurposed for a good walk and some headphones. Now that it's a thing that exists, I am ashamed to say that I don't listen to it nearly enough. Careful what you wish for, I guess.

I'd be willing to check that out since it's Wilco songs.

Schmilco is definitely my favorite album since AGIB. Just Say Goodbye always kills me, especially the hushed “as if I have answers…” line near the end. I could listen to it all day.

I don’t know how to post pictures but I’m at Sky Blue Sky in Mexico and Wilco just played their first night set—a smattering from every record but Star Wars. Posted the setlist at Setlist.fm but highlight for me were Side with the Seeds, a rare performance of You Never Know, and The Lonely 1. Band is TIGHT

Yes! Mavis sand Freedom Highway, too. On California Stars, Ohmme, whose members have been filling in for Mikael Jorgenson, all sang/played, as did Chris Funk from Malkmus’s band on banjo, and James Elkington (Zincs, Tweedy, and more) on lead guitar.

Mavis was INCREDIBLE.

i don't think i'm going to spend the money on this, but I'll look forward to hearing it on streaming as wilco intended when they made the album in 2001/2002.

years ago, there was a music blog, something owl...owl and bear, maybe? anyway, they had a version of YHF that included some alt takes and the engineer demos.

i used to have it, but i'm not sure what i did with it. i wonder if that's what some of the alternate versions will be.

I haven't heard it in a while but the YHF Demos bootleg was pretty awesome -- especially given its sordid history I can easily imagine this being an album about which the working tapes really tell a tale. This is a pretty deep dive for one album and over 82 tracks I can't imagine it won't feel like a barrel scrape in places, but I bet this ends up being a cool release. Will stream for sure, and will likely end up buying one of the physical editions after hearing it all.

trag, the PM i sent is not the demos. i was wrong. it's a compilation of stuff they were working on and playing around that time.

i know they're out there though.
