I've been on a Proud Mary kick.

Courtney was 7 when Hendrix died, which means she'd probably already done blow, been arrested twice , and killed a puppy. Random thought; Courtney is apparently also Marlon Brando's illegitimate Grand Daughter, her mother being Brando's illegit child.

The only one we have uncontrovertable proof of is a b-side called Old Age, which was a Cobain song recorded in rough form (scratch vocal) at the Nevermind sessions. She's admitted taking songs from him, and also admitted she tried to beg Kurt to give her Heart-Shaped Box for Live Through This. It's worth noting that Cobain, who wrote on average 20 songs a year, only wrote half a dozen new Nirvana songs in the year leading upto Live Through This; In Utero was 50/50 comprised of New songs and songs written between 1990-1991 (All Apologies actually predates Half of Nevermind). Now part of t

Oh, I agree. I mean, there are tons of classic albums where the primary artist didn't even write most of the material; I think it just peeves people that she took sole credit. From what I can tell based on the one Nirvana song she stole that we actually have the Nirvana version for, she writes all of her lyrics, which is something, I guess.

All of Hole's albums have their merits due to her getting writing help from some of the better songwriters of the early 90s hard rock scene. Cobain is confirmed to have written songs on Live Through This, Billy on Celebrity Skin, and Kim Gordon is rumored to have written songs on her first album, which I'm blanking on the title of.

Now that all the unreleased Nirvana is out, I don't really hate her anymore. That was my prime point of contention with her; now I'm just apathetic to her.

I'm not convinced that these will be any good. Let it Be Naked had far too much noise reduction used, causing a hollow clanky sound. the Yellow Submarine also had this problem (though I did like the new stereo mixes.) I hope they go the route of the Dylan and Stones reissues, which left a little hiss. You can't completely remove the hiss from a 40-50 year old recording without damaging overall sound. Dr. Ebbett's, Purple Chick and Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab masters are all readily available for those who want them. I'd recommend those to anyone looking for a great sounding beatles experienc

was this the first/ only Wilco songbook?

oh my God. "Chelsea Hotel No. 2" by Leonard Cohen. Runners up: "Mother" by John Lennon "If You See Her, Say Hello" by Bob Dylan "Hang Down Your Head" by Tom Waits (I listened to on the plane the last time I saw my ex-gf.) "You Know You're Right" by Nirvana (This one just hurts; it's a song I love that's so sorrowful, and he died 2 months after recording it.)

Well I finally wrote a new song...it's sort of an inarticulate mess, but it's something...I might post it later.

It's been really frustrating. I'll sit down at the guitar and I'll play a chord. and I'll sit there. As soon as you go to the second chord, you're locked in. I know a decent amount of theory, decent enough that I've taken apart tons of songs and analyzed the chords and melodies. Like I completely understand why things work on an intellectual level, but I have trouble applying that to my own songwriting to make my songs better. Also I feel like studying music and tearing it apart has demystified it for me, and makes everything I write feel like such a struggle to not be trite and to not writ

I find the spot Wilco's in is really cool; these past few years they've simultaneously won the respect of an older generation of musicians (Opening for the Stones, Playing with Neil Young etc), remained one of gen-x's few bands to stay commercially and artistically beyond their 20s and 30s (sorry Mr. Corgan), and now a generation of younger groups like the Fleet Foxes name drop them as big influences. Hurray Wilco!

My thoughts and prayers go out to you; Losses in the family are always extremely hard. I'm sure you'll find nothing but support on these boards, Steve.

I thought this was kind of a mediocre new waveesque throw away. Kind of a poor man's "I'm Always in Love". Hopefully this is just a b-side.

I have a playstation 2...that has a dvd player...other than that, not really. I also like listening to music as I do things, not being stuck in front of my tv while I listen to music. Of course, it'll be bootlegged, ripped, transfered or what not, so there's not too much to worry about, but I still find it irritating that Neil is so persistantly difficult about things like this.

Neil Young is being a total prick and elitist by releasing his archive stuff in a format that most don't own/ can't afford. I'm pissed that he's not making the archives available to people like myself, who don't have blu-ray and won't for several years.

I was in the emergency room tonight and missed this...can anyone possibly upload this new song?

Summerteeth is probably my favorite Wilco record; it's the only one I never tire of. Every song and every melody on that album does something for me. It's lyrically great, and the arrangements are probably my favorite of any Wilco record. Nothing about Summer Teeth bothers me, or even fails to excite me. To me it's everything I love about Armed Forces by Elvis Costello, just in a more consistent record (yes, I just said I think Summer Teeth > Armed Forces...shoot me.) A.M. is probably my least favorite Wilco record...thus I can't agree with said statement. I don't dislike country or anyth

It sounds like a mix of Where the Roses Bloom Again and On and On and On.

I forgot Primal Scream- "Moving on Up"- Screamadelica.
