Recently, Marcus has collaborated on the music score for the documentary “Mr. Soul.” Marcus has also was requested to play the national anthem in Madison Square Garden for the NY Knicks as well as Oracle Arena for the Golden State Warriors.

Oohhh that Wax Mage! Seriously I'm really digging all these Wax Mage releases. Just too bad they all seem to be so limited

Love the Dead, but the last thing I need is another set closing with One More Saturday Night.
You know the songs you hate by bands you love?

Yeah - thats One More Saturday Night for the Dead.
Impossible Germany for Wilco.

But this isn't the hot take thread...so feel free to disregard.

Funny. I've heard Jeff say, more than once, "with Nels Cline on guitar each night, I would be an idiot for not putting 'Impossible Germany' on the setlist." And he does have a point. And I will say, while I would be 100% fine if they never played it live again, I would also be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the hell out of it each and every time. Nels is a legend, and within Wilco, this song is his nightly platform to astound.

Aw shit I just saw Fat Possum’s mention of it being “the first of four” reissues. I may have to buy them all. I have standard Plain issues of them which are apparently really bad even though I have been satisfied with them. Spiritualized are one of my all time favorites so I should probably jump on these and sell the others. I’m also missing Let It Come Down which would be the 4th in this series.

Edit: so bizarre that shipping is $2 cheaper from Fat Possum than the band’s site, when I’m pretty sure the label is also the one filling those orders.

I have enjoyed several of your label's releases and the Wax mage versions go in seconds. Could you educate us from a label perspective as to why the Wax Mage versions are challenging to produce in larger numbers? Does it cost more on your end and if the prices for those were higher, would that make any difference in how many are made? Thanks in advance.

The most simple explanation is - the plant itself will not allow quantities in excess of 25. They are done with their own methods and are handmade. The cost per unit is quite high for the items themselves as well, compared to your standard vinyl. I really wish we could get them in larger numbers but the additional time it takes to make them is what holds them back I believe.

That's why we have the LTD/100 versions as well - so there are some beautiful wax to go around. Hope that answers the question!

EVERY FUCKING SHOW at the 1/2 way to 2/3 mark they break it out.
I wish there was a Betting site to bet on Concert Set lists....I'd be a retired Millionaire betting IG being played at any Wilco show I attend.
