I agree "Insignificance" may be the best overall, but "Simple Songs" is super underrated. Also, I've been alternating two of the instrumental ones, "Bad Timing" and "The Visitor," just about daily while I work. Gorgeous pieces of music.

Just wanted to say that listening to this podcast (which was great!) made me go back and revisit some of Jim O'Rourke's solo albums. My goodness, what absolutely amazing records those are.

That makes two of us! Plus three versions of "Muzzle of Bees," two versions each of "Panthers" and "Diamond Claw" (both personal favorites of mine), "The High Heat," something called "Improbable Germany," and a whole bunch more. This track list is a dream.

You called it, TCP! I just saw the tracklist and I am floored. https://ghostisborn.com/

Intriguing! Any reasons (that you can state publicly) for this prediction?
-
Say what now? There are still plenty of us 'round these parts who tune in for these! -
Me three! They come on at 11:15 tonight — I'm getting my coffee ready now.

That makes sense. I think Cousin is great, their best album since The Whole Love, but a not-insignificant factor in my enjoyment of it is an adjustment in expectations. With each new album over the last several years, I've hoped for a more explosive, dynamic Wilco, and then ended up somewhat underwhelmed by the eventual release. I had to just accept what Jeff Tweedy is nowadays and what he wants out of a Wilco album. That said, his own "art pop" hype didn't do this project any favors, since it conjured up expectations of stuff even more adventurous.

Curious, what made Cousin such a disappointment for you?

It's no coincidence that I think "Hot Sun" is the best song on the EP. It's the only one CLB is credited on, and it feels the most developed, three dimensional and Cousin-like to me.

Good way to put it. Wrestling songwriting (any aspect of it) from Jeff Tweedy has become more and more difficult as time goes by. But even if the songs are written by him in isolation, it's nice to get either 1. the band involved in the arrangement or 2. a different producer involved with the development. When Jeff handles every task end to end there does seem to be a bit of diminishing returns.

Ha, no I hadn't heard that one, but "Annihilation" — which has been stuck in head relentlessly — segues into the middle of "Born Alone" from time to time for some reason.

I would think the next thing we hear about would have to be the AGIB deluxe box set, right? Maybe they'll play a few special shows for that like they did for the YHF one a couple of years ago. In addition to the new Tweedy album late this year/early next year, I think the Autumn Defense has a new album in the can as well that hopefully comes out soon. Maybe they'll support that one with a little run of shows. -

I love that they left "Panthers" in the set! One of my favorites. -
I think "Livid" has a very cool riff and has the elements to be a highlight, but at only a minute long, it's hard to take it seriously. There are a couple of times within the track I think even the band is winking at us saying this is just a joke — namely when those video game-like sound effects come in and that random giant drum drop at 0:52.
