Over the course of the past few weeks I’ve spent a lot of time revisiting albums for my ‘best of the decade’ list. And since melophobe’s actual list won’t come out for a few weeks, I thought maybe my role in this season of giving could be to provide links to things like demos, bootlegs, radio broadcasts, etc for our readers that correlate to some of my favorite albums of the decade.
Today, we will start with the Engineer Demos for Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. The album’s story has been told ad nauseam (if you don’t know about it click here) so I won’t go into it. However, one of the cool things that came out of those sessions are the fantastic alternate versions of the songs and some gem-like unreleased tracks like “Magazine Called Sunset.” Some people find it to be as rewarding as the real thing and even though it has been out forever, I wanted everyone that hasn’t heard it to have a chance.
Tracklist is below, download link is HERE and this came to us via The Midnight Cafe.

Great post! Really digging the new record a lot. The Rainwater LP has some gorgeous moments - definitely recommend checking it out. There are 3 of the new songs up on the myspace page: myspace.com/citizencope

love that melophobe has more “couples” reviewers, and more “Ian/Ion/Ian/Iain” than the average site…
