I have read this is indeed happening, but I believe they only started filming last month or even this month. So my guess is a release will be later this year or next year. I'm sure it will be a gigglefest.

He had posted a few times over the years that he was working on new material that would be out "sometime in the next year," or some such prediction, which he was kind of famous for doing. So I am certain there is some lovely unheard WP music that will, hopefully, see the light of day someday.

THIS was the show I was at, on my 43rd birthday. Thank you for posting! An anecdote: I chatted with Karl out front for 20 minutes prior to the show, and when my friends told him it was my birthday, he took my name down and told me to come to the show the next night (in Portland, ME, 30 minutes from home for me) and they'd let me in, free of charge, which I did! I got to see WP twice in a row

Sinclair! That was it, yes. GREAT show.

Tragic. I am really distraught over this. I was 13 when I first heard "Ship of Fools," prior to the release of Private Revolution (debut LP), and became an immediate and permanent World Party fan after that. Karl wore his Stones and Beatles influences on his sleeve, and his songs were gorgeous. His lyrics and music connected with me on a personal level. I saw WP four times, and met Karl

Yeah this has been a hot topic of late-- All I've heard is "She puts on a spectacular show for her fans," but nobody has told me, "He music is AMAZING!" or "Her songwriting is AMAZING!" or "Her musicianship is AMAZING!" All I hear is "Her songs aren't bad," or, "Her latest is actually pretty good." Nobody has said, "You ha

March: Julian Lage w/ band. My favorite jazz guitar guy as of late. June: Solid Sound Festival, North Adams, MA. Wilco's uniquely curated fest with a reliably amazing list of mostly lesser known but excellent acts nestled in the Berkshires, away from all the madness. My blissful utopia.

QuotePalace Revolution 2000 Some very good Bass tracks all over the album. How wild is it that Wyman comes in, and lays the best one down? Totally agree!

Bill W sounds so, so good on this. I had not seen the track notes and I immediately knew this was the BW tune. So good.
Forum: Tell Me

Yeah, it's just a very different kind of album, with lots of spoken word and storytelling. I think Roger's voice is quite good when he sings, and he does sing a bit on the new record, but this isn't really about him trying to improve upon anything. It's just him wanting to take an old piece of art and create something more expressive, lyrically, a sort of lyrical update, as I

DW still sounds sloppy and badly mixed to me... Drums (and some vocs) waaay too loud on most tracks. Loved Harlem Shuffle, Sleep Tonight, and Too Rude, but I think that's it by my memory. Hold Back to this day just hurts my ears and soul. I wish this album would be remixed, and maybe some vocs re-recorded, but I want Charlie's drums, un-amplified and not cannon-like. The album could sou

I'm listening right now, and it's quite an interesting undertaking. Reminds me of a Laurie Anderson type experience, which I entirely appreciate. I think it also amplifies the beauty of the original album-- I see this more as a companion piece and not really an update or "alternate" version--- even though it's kind of being promoted or discussed as such.
Forum: Tell Me

It’s not out yet here on the east coast of the USA, but I’m eager to have a listen on the way to work in the morning. I’m a big Roger fan— but I also know this won’t be an “improvement,” per se, and certainly not a replacement of the original record. It’s just an update. Why not? It will be very interesting, I think.

This is my band! You'll definitely hear Stones influences in there, among many others. Cheers! Tate

On their current IG story, be if the animated clips includes a barely audible snippet of something new… Super fun. I’m so excited about this album, whatever it ends up sounding like. I feel like I did when I was a kid, when a new Stones album was due soon. Nostalgic joy.

That was fascinating. I can imagine similar conversations exist about each one of those three by others, behind their backs. It's funny how the conversation ends. Dylan says, out of the blue, "I'm gonna split." Ha. Bob Dylan is a quirky guy. In fact, he's the king of all quirky guys. As the legend goes, that "rehearsal" proved irrelevant when Dylan hit the stage

It looks to me like the sound is not synced to the video, which makes it look like a bad lip-sync, but I highly doubt RW lip-syncs at his expensive live shows.
Forum: Tell Me

I do find it silly to worry about the output of a band that has literally been around for over 60 years. Near octogenarians. I'll be delighted at any new material, or 30 second clip of guitar noodling in the studio. And I'll be thrilled about a new album, even if I don't love all the songs. Hopefully this new material will see the light of day sometime soon. But, you know, whenever

I love Led Zeppelin, always have... I think they are every bit as brilliant as the Beatles and the Stones, and I enjoyed all of their live material I've ever been able to get my hands on.

Hey 9 monthly listeners! Not bad. Three albums. The Stones are in my bones, so there's a heavy influence at times, at others, not so much.

Looks like Steve Jordan is jamming out with Pino Palladino as part of John Mayer's trio. So he's good. Maybe it's Chuck L?

I just realized this is the new album thread and not the tour thread... but still. After the next album, if they are able to tour from it, I will love any new songs they can crank out, but would accept whatever they have to offer. :^)

Ha. Scrolling up through these comments is interesting. The Stones are pushing 80, so they get to play absolutely whatever they want. They could play Satisfaction three times in the same set if they want to. They could play nothing past 1978 if they want to. They could do all Muddy Waters covers if they want to. They have license to play anything in their massive catalog, whether or not they have

April 6th, 7th and 8th: Wilco... in Reykjavik! So. Excited. (I live in Maine.) Then Andrew Bird (April), Heartless Bastards (May), Plant+Krauss (July), and a couple of mellower shows: Zakir Hussein/ Bela Fleck/ Edger Meyer (May) and then Bill Frisell trio (June). I've never had so many great shows lined up. It's all very exciting!

I just sold my Boston tickets via the Ticketmaster site. I love Bruce, have seen his excellent arena show before, but felt the need to sell my tickets for a couple reasons, but mostly buyer's remorse. Here's my brief story about the evils of TM.

I love Bruce. Over the years, his shows have been SO fan oriented, and tickets reasonably priced, that I was pretty shocked to see how expensive tickets were when I got them for the upcoming Boston show. The verified fan thing got me in, but then left me with only expensive options, and when I bought my two lower level tickets, I noticed the upper level tickets were rapidly increasing in price by

Quotetreaclefingers Quotebam QuoteHairball Sounds like elevator music, but maybe that's what they were going for? Something you might here at dentists office, or at a grocery store...bland and harmless background music. The power — of a tremendously powerful song - is gone. To me, it’s just a fading echo of what was once great. Perhaps unintentionally, an analogy of the band itself?
