You can listen to entire new Wilco album A Star is Born online. Just go to Wilco’s official website and follow the links or use the links below:
The album is called A Ghost is Born not A Star is Born.
I do not know why but I have a feeling this thread will fall off the face of the front page and be lost forever, discouraging you from wanting to post threads even in the slightest bit since you are a newcomer (WELCOME, I am pretty new myself).
Anyways, all I can add is Wilco is fun and quicktime wont work and I do not feel like figuring it out. So, yay.
There is a link at the bottom of the page on the Wilco site that explains common problems. However, if you are using dial-up I don’t think you are going to get this to play. I tried it on dial-up a couple of times and all I would get is about 30 seconds of music before it would jam up.
My girlfriend has been looking for Jeff Tweedy’s book of poetry… has anybody seen it at the bookstore, or is it pretty much something you have to order?
Quicktime is an evil invention, but after I smacked it and Zone Alarm around a little, I got it to play. And it’s lovely. Thanks Kel Off to email my sisters. They’ll be thrilled. (Though The New Orleans show being cancelled may dampen their enthusiasm)

It’s amazing how boring the new album is, both sonically and in terms of actual songwriting. Jeff Tweedy needs a creative partner, someone to balance him out. His best work was in Uncle Tupelo (with Jay Farrar playing yang to his yin) and then in Wilco when Jay Bennett was there to balance him out (the classic “Summerteeth,” the decent-but-better-than-AM “yankee hotel foxtrot”).
