Random question--is it ever possible to play non-singles from albums? Any legal issues there? or just that radio stations believe people won't be interested? I've always wondered.
Thanks

AKA Marina Towers. There is a great stunt in "The Hunter" where Steve McQueen is a bounty hunter and his prey drives off the upper level parking into the Chicago river. |

I remember when they were built, they were the ultimate in modern design and urban living at the time...

Didn't know where it was, though. My vote was for some woebegotten corner of Seattle. Kinda Space Needle-ish in vintage.

Now, yes, it does look obviously like buildings, but it also reminds me of bacterial flagellin:

Wiki has an entry devoted to this business/residential complex in Chicago called Marina City. I thought I'd recognized it in that Allstate commercial homaging Steve McQueen!
(click here)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_City
Marina City was the first urban post-war high-rise residential complex in the United States and is widely credited with beginning the residential renaissance of American inner cities. Its model of mixed residential and office uses and high-rise towers with a base of parking has become a primary model for urban development in the United States, and has been widely copied throughout downtown Chicago.

Wikipedia is your friend. YHF is a relatively famous "number station". Tag line is a voice repeating "yankee... hotel... foxtrot..." I guess they thought it was mysterious & cool, which I do too.
http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=570
Some samples of recordings from numbers stations and shortwave radio stations that appear on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot put the band in legal troubles. A sample that can be heard at the end of the song "Poor places" was taken from The Conet Project, a four-CD collection of numbers station recordings. The collection's record label, Irdial, sued Wilco for copyright infringement. The lawsuit was eventually settled out of court with Irdial receiving some undisclosed royalties for the song <5>. |

Perhaps it has to do with the band's name which is radio shorthand for "Will Comply." Usually also preceeded by "Roger."
Or it could be completely unrelated.
