John K. Samson - Winter Wheat (October 21, 2016) Album • Page 2

That's upsetting but I'm optimistic.

 

I cannot be optimistic about a song with that title

 

This album is looking, track time wise, shorter than I was expecting. Also the cover reminds me of Live at the Burton Cummings Theatre

 

New song! John K. Samson 'Alpha Adept'

 

I love this song so much, getting so excited for the new album!

"One of the themes that runs through this record is delusional thinking, and how sometimes we need to learn to live with our delusions, accept them, in this case turn them into a useful reason to live. Especially if the only other option is to let them control and destroy us."

 

Wow, when the second guitar comes in on the second verse. Totally sublime.
I could see this on Reunion Tour?

EDIT: The only guitar on the second verse that is, whoops.

 

I could too. Thematically, it's not too far off from "Bigfoot!"

 

Are we expecting a tour sometime before the end of the year? I see he has a couple dates already in the east. Hopefully he comes west, I'd be more than happy to make the drive to Calgary.

 

I don't know about this year but I sure hope he does some more extensive touring next year.

 

i want this now.

 

i want this yesterday

 

I want this when the leaves start falling. It just feels right!

 

better post than mine

 

Not sure how I never saw this:

"Virtute the cat and her troubled human companion (from The Weakerthans songs Plea from a Cat Named Virtute and Virtute the Cat Explains Her Departure) make their final appearances in 17th Street Treatment Centre and Virtute at Rest."

Two Virtute songs!

 

And here I was thinking my excitement level was as high as possible, then I learn this.

 

sheesh, i gotta start looking at track listings closer before albums come out haha. that is so awesome.

 

I'm already crying.

 

alpha adept is excellent. i didn't really love his last solo record, but the weakerthans have been a favorite of mine for years.

 

Alpha Adept so good.

 

Album stream and track-by-track with John is here! Haven't listened yet but can't wait to.

First Play: John K. Samson, Winter Wheat plus track-by-track guide

 

Didn't expect a stream this week but this is the best news.

 

Holy Frick

 

This might have his best lyrics yet. That's a bold claim, but some of this is way too good

 

this opener is gorgeous

 

Oh my lord. Class cannot end soon enough!! What a perfect, dreary day for it, too!!
