2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;
2006 - Tidal...
I wish the lazy gits would stop teasing everyone with their website annoying hints and just released new material followed by some proper gigs. They are brilliant live. In the meantime...

Wilco - Sky Blue Sky

Played this so much as a student. Listened to it tonight for the first time in donkeys years on Tidal, inspired by another forumite on this thread, and thoughroughly enjoyed it. It so took me back to those happy student years, and what a great album!
Can't wait for the CD to float down the river to me.

Live in Ravenna
It seems and sounds like this would have been a good one to be at:
"Ravenna was memorable for a number of reasons, the most prominent being the really very intense heat, and the setting Hanabi has an outdoor stage on the beach, the Adriatic Sea only meters away," the band's Sanae Yamada explains. "The show that night, and the recording of it, sort of encapsulates everything that was happening at the time the heat wave, the journey, and the shift in the energy and composition of the band."

(2008)
"A collection of long deleted vinyl only sides from San Francisco's Wooden Shjips. The Wooden Shjips earliest material was released on vinyl, pressed in small quantities that were either free or hard to come by and are now hopelessly out of print. Volume 1 collects all the tracks from the free 10-inch, the Dance, California 7-inch, and the SOL 7-inch. Tight-wound repeat psych guitar raunch with spoony percussion, surprisingly Rev-like keys, and vocals buried under burning driftwood."
