I'll report back as soon as I can listen!

Looking forward to diving into the album again. haven't really listened to it in years.

Hopefully enough people buy that Soldier Field bootleg so it'll be the next vault release.

I agree that the second half can sort of plod along but Bleed Together always seemed like a throwaway to me. It sounds too much like 80s hair metal.

Just spun a fresh copy of Doolittle. Do all Pixies records sound so damn good on vinyl?

If you have the MFSL versions, yes they do! All their pressings sound great. But those versions are insanely good, among the best sounding records I have.

Man, I love the quiet bridge followed by the explosive last run through the chorus.
I love that bridge...and yes, Dotu will be mine too.

Some really great records there. Have you listened to Time Fades Away yet? I'm mildly obsessed with it. Neil has gone on record that he hates it, and a lot of fans tend to agree. But for my money, I'd say it's an easy lock for top 5 Neil albums of all time. Top 3 even, if it's the right day.
Haven't gotten to Time Fades Away yet but Tonights the night sounds absolutely amazing. They dont make records like that anymore.

I really enjoy TFA. Always have. I look forward to a night alone with it

Man I had no idea they reissued those two NY albums, damn.

How's the Wilco album? I haven't had a chance to read any reviews of it yet

One spin on in the background while grilling. Sounds a lot like Wilco's recent solo album. In my opinion, he sounds bored. Star Wars was fantastic and this is definitely the other side of that wilco.

Ill listen more though and see!

So Schmilco sounds like the Tweedy album? Because I liked that way better than Star Wars. Either way I fear the days of Tweedy just writing the shit out of a song and blowing me away are long gone. I still remember the first time I heard Misunderstood, Via Chicago, ect.
