Wilco | Schmilco [September 2016]

[Kevin Davis]

I'd love a great B-sides and Outtakes comp from Wilco.

This?

I was actually turned off by that when it came out. Too many demos and live tracks that I have to wade through. I would specifically love a comp of all their B-sides and Outtakes (not demos) from YHF onward.

I fucking love this box set, just a wonderful listen from start to finish. If I have some time this weekend I will try and rip the non-live, non-demo songs for you. As I understand there have been no non-album cuts since "The Whole Love."

SOMETHING IN MY VAINS BLOODIER THAN BLOOD!

Shot in the Arm live can get pretty intense. Via Chicago as well.

I'm loving Schmilco bc it sounds like a band passing through town in the middle of the night

[epilogue]

Welp, shit.

That makes me want to listen to it more than anything else I've heard about it.

This is good. God i fucking love you.

I have never heard a Wilco album

Forgive me for pigeonholing your tastes but they seem like the complete opposite of everything you seem to go for in entertainment.

This is kinda my impression as well

Strat, I've got a minor quibble with your description of Being There, despite having never heard the album myself: how is an album that is longer than 75 minutes "easily digestible"?

One great song after the other, meboy!

So, for YHF and beyond b-sides, you'd be looking at:

The Good Part
Cars Can't Escape
Camera
Handshake Drugs (First Version)
A Magazine Called Sunset
Bob Dylan's 49th Beard
Woodgrain
More Like The Moon
Let Me Come Home
Old Maid
Hummingbird (Alternate Version)
Just A Kid
Kicking Television
Panthers
One True Vine
The Thanks I Get
Let's Not Get Carried Away
Glad It's Over
Dark Neon
The Jolly Banker
Unlikely Japan
I Love My Label
Message From Mid-bar
Speak Into the Rose
Black Moon (alternate)
Sometimes It Happens

Man, that's a great list but some of those early B-sides are a blast. Do you have the YHF Demos, Trag? Demo is an extremely misleading term in that case, some of those are fully finished alternate versions and in some cases entirely new songs ("Venus Stop the Train" -- hoo boy).

[tragabigzanda]

Top 10 maybe?
Hello Morning
Close Captioned
The Kill
Place/Position
Do You Like Me?
Latest Disgrace
Recap Modotti
Nightshop
Break
Life & Limb

I'd maybe bump Life & Limb for Epic Problem

[Kevin Davis]

I think "The Wilco Book" was weird experimental stuff recorded around the time of "A Ghost is Born," but I've never heard it so I'm not sure.

Here is the YHF Demos bootleg I'm referring to:
http://www.panicstream.net/vault/wilco- ... rot-demos/
("Rhythm" is a solo piano version of the song that eventually came out as "Cars Can't Escape," and "Not For the Season" is Wilco's version of "Laminated Cat")

And I couldn't agree more about "Panthers." I will try and get those to you this weekend, remind me if I forget.

[Strat]

I didn't discover Nels via Wilco, though.

I don't know, every time I've tried listen to a Wilco song I've been overcome with a sense of mind-numbing boredom.

I guess Tweedy's songwriting just doesn't do anything for me.

[verb_to_trust]

It's because you listen on CD

[LoathedVermin72]

Oh yeah Wilco really comes alive on vinyl
