Whats your favorite "fuck you" song?
MattZ replied to junkbond_trader's topic in Someone Else's Song
EC - I Hope You're Happy Now If I knew then what I know now I never loved you, anyhow. -
I have a special bond with this song. I hit snooze twice before dying every damn morning. Love it.

For some reason, I always bust out laughing on the 4th (?) track when they say "bet". Its so funny, awkward, cool, lame, etc. I still like this album. Seems to me like a good mesh of Kill the Moonlight and Gimme Fiction.

I think Billboard's ranking of 4 is incredibly lame and I dont understand how Wilco wasn't ranked higher. I am outraged. Everyone knows it should have been ranked 1. Who are these morons at Billboard. Are they even relevant anymore? I think this proves that Billboard, like Pitchfork and RS, is no longer relevant.

One of the sadder (and I think underappreciated) losses as the CD has continued to obliterate the LP is the loss of the whole "what a great song to end side 1 with" or "can you believe that they opened side 2 with this?" etc. I hate that CDs are 1-12 tracks with no breaks. But I guess it all comes down to how you were raised. I am no old fart by any stretch but I grew up when CDs first started breaking through and I couldn't afford them so I was forced to listen to old LPs from parents, friends, etc. Enough about me. I vote for Side 1 of 4 for SBS.

This is probably on the second tier of fuck you songs, but I have always like Elvis Costello's No Action. What a way to lead off an album: "I dont want to kiss you, I don't want to touch..." -
Yeah, you overthrew me, assface. I was wondering who Hutch was.
-
I'd be lying if I didn't admit that felt pretty good.
-
I am loving it so far. I haven't listened to the lyrics all that carefully, but the album strikes me as a bit more political than I would have expected. Dont Make Me A Target and The Underdog especially. Then again, maybe I am projecting.

Nuclear dicks with their dialect drawls? Booyah.
-
Jeez, I have never read the lyrics. Chills.

I am totally digging this album.

I live in an apartment in NYC, so 90% of the music that I listen to at home is on headphones and I have done a ton of research on headphones. The holy grail of headphone websites is a place called Headroom -- www.headphone.com. That site has everything from reviews to articles to theories behind headphones. It is an invaluable site and I have bought all of my headphones from them. I can't recommend them highly enough. You should certainly surf around that site even if you dont buy from there. When it comes to headphones, its mostly about budget. I have the Sennheiser HD 600s for home u

I am a big fan of Jay's choice in covers. The last time I saw them they encored with I'm Not Like Everybody Else by the Kinks. It was awesome.

Amen.

RIP Rod. I can't wrap my head around this.

I haven't seen wilco since before the new songs debuted. Watching this DVD gave me a new appreciation for this lineup and these songs that I didn't think I could have had. I mean, I love SBS. But these live performances put an exclamation point on every single gosh darn song. And an exclamation point on every single member of the band. I honestly gained a new appreciation for every member in the band -- especially Pat and Mikael. I had waited a couple of days to watch -- it was such a treat. Thanks Wilco.

happy birthday!!

I like Wilco with Jay Bennett. I also like Wilco without Jay Bennett. That's how I roll, people.

Predictions for what song they will play on Letterman
MattZ replied to unposed_question's topic in Just A Fan
I predict they will play Hate it Here. -
Some breakdancing with a twist:

News Flash: if you don't like SBS you dont have to listen to it.

Yes, you just did.

Wilco - SBS (People: wilco released an album today... not that this is a wilco board or anything. )
