Looks like the new Noah Baumbach movie is perpetuating the "Wilco as Dad Rock" thing big time, based on a character in the movie played by former Beastie Adam Horovitz.
 
Here's a New York Times article on Horovitz, where I guess he thinks Wilco indeed isn't cool(third paragraph)...

Been listening to this album a bunch this week, pretty solid stuff from Dave Bielanko. Nice pressing and sound as well. Not up there with Kids in Philly or If You Didn't Laugh, but a cozy little album good for some winter listening.

Have an extra copy of the vinyl as well, PM me if interested.

Complete setlist, as played:

To quote Judge Smails in Caddyshack, "Well....we're waiting???"

Great show, we left during Hummingbird...around the 30 song mark maybe???

Know they played "In the Street" as a tribute to Alex Chilton, heard it in parking garage next to the venue.

I'll take a what.cd or waffles invite if anyone has one...I have invites for demonoid, libble or stmusic if interested...

Looks like Wilco may have been in consideration for the cover this month though? There is a lengthy piece on Jeff Tweedy in this Beatles issue.

Some great choices. No love for "Under the Blacklight" by Rilo Kiley though? The perfect pop album in my book!

Marah is no longer "cool"...but Kids in Philly was a great cd.

Didn't see Josh Rouse's "Nashville" mentioned here? Phenomenal CD!!!

Any love for the first Audioslave album? That has held up pretty well.

I'd probably round out a list of 10 with ones already mentioned:

Wilco-YHF

Strokes-Is This It

Ryan-Heartbreaker

Beck-Sea Change

White Stripes-Elephant

Bright Eyes-I'm Wide Awake...

I thought the season was over a couple weeks ago.

The season pretty much ended for me after Iowa 24 PSU 23. Although it would be nice to kick USC's ass in the Rose Bowl and get some respect back for the Big 10.

so you're five times the size of Lewis's bf?

Busted! And yes, I walk around wearing pink scarves and eyeliner. But at least give me credit for defeating Uncle Elmer at Wrestlemania 2.

Calm down Adonis, I know it

Lamrod, I won't be hard on myself, but I was hard on yo momma last night! Oh snap!

Well, here's the latest pic, homeboy been hitting the Pop Tarts:

In the life isn't fair department:

Ok, Jenny Lewis is a smokin hot redhead, and her boyfriend is a fat, hairy disgusting blob of goo.

Hey, I'm all for weighing personality into the dating equation, but this is just too much.

It's also in the new RS with Britney on the cover.

that's awesome. have you seen Conor/Bright eyes before? I have a few times, and I think this was my favorite show. I was surprised by how hard it rocked.

I had never seen him before, but agree that it rocked pretty hard and was an excellent show. Do I dock him points for wearing a Jason Mraz-style hat during the show? Nah...he wore it well.

I'd like to see a setlist, it seemed like he played quite a few new songs. But I have to admit I'm not overly familiar with the solo album... I have not spun it as much as I'm Wide Awake or Cassadega. But the only ones from the new cd I recall him playing were Sausalito, (I Don't Wanna) Die in the Hospital, and I think Souled Out.

ah shit, you got the full Ghost Busters!? we weren't so lucky, they only fooled around with it when they did the band member intros.

Oh yeah, the full Ghostbusters, in its entirety, as originally made famous by Ray Parker Jr.

Anyway, to hear Conor yell out "bustin makes me feel good" was fantastic.

Full disclosure: We got there late, when Kweller was on, so we missed Rig 1.

Oh, the Union Central is pullin' out and the orchids are in bloom,

I've only got me one good shirt left and it smells of stale perfume.

In fourteen months I've only smiled once and I didn't do it consciously,

Somebody's got to find your trail,

I guess it must be up to me.

There's a neon light ablaze in this green smoky haze, laughter down on Elizabeth Street.

And a lonesome bell tone in that valley of stone, where she bathed in a stream of pure heat.

Just saw Conor this past Friday at tiny Messiah College in Grantham, PA - Wilco played there a couple years ago as well. Pretty great show, Ben Kweller and Rig 1 opened. Kweller came out during Obert's encores, which included "Kodachrome" and a rousing version of "Ghostbusters"....yes, the whole song in its entirety.

Enter the 36 Chambers destroys everything, ever. You know it's true.

If you want to talk about a "gangsta" rap album that's better than anything Wilco ever put out, you'd have to go with NWA's "Straight Outta Compton"....there was nothing like that before, and really nothing since. It's one of those landmark albums that defines the genre, like people say "Nevermind" defined grunge or "12 Inches of Snow" defined white Canadian reggae. (lol)

I remember first listening to this as a 15 yr old white kid and thinking, "wow, these guys are PISSED"...could cops really be bad people? Then Rodney King happens, and I was like, ohhh....now I see what that was all about.

Also, the Rick Rubin-produced Geto Boys is one of the most offensive, profanity-laced albums out there, but it's just so damn well done and so well-produced, it's really a classic.

As far as a general rap album, not Gangsta, I'd go with Public Enemy's "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back." I don't see how anyone could listen to this album and claim Chuck D isn't a talented songwriter or rap wasn't a valid genre. Also much better than "Fear of a Black Planet" IMO.

Runners Up: Paul's Boutique by the Beastie Boys and "Low End Theory" by Tribe Called Quest.

I have some libble and stmusic invites if anyone wants to trade for a waffles.fm invite-

A-man, that post made my day. "Dancing with the women (in the wal mart parking lot)" is priceless!

this was a disheartening experience....i work with this 19 yr old chick who loves Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith, Dixie Chicks, Miranda Lambert, Gretchen Wilson, etc. and I've been trying to get her to listen to Ryan. so I put together this compilation for her to check out:

1 kiss before i go

2 too drunk to dream

3 hard luck story

4 excuse me

5 16 days

6 bar lights

7 to be young

8 new york

9 firecracker

10 cherry lane

11 let it ride

12 two

13 everybody knows

14 halloween head

15 tow hearts

16 dancing with the women

17 come pick me up

so i just talked to her and she said she doesn't like it at all, that he sounds "weird"...i was hoping to make a conversion...i just don't understand how you could think kenny little monkey chesney is better than ryan? oh well

Is Oink gone? I went to log on and there's just an advertisement saying you can buy that domain name.

Doesn't look to good! The greatest site ever could be toast!
