lost highway

Someone explain to me what Mikael Jorgensen says and how he sounds. He's like the new Leroy, silent supporter, man of many skills and zero glamor.

I don't know why I preordered. I had to pay shipping and then stare as my girlfriend bought the 2xLP (which is 180 gram and sounds amazing!) before mine has even arrived and the LP's were right under a rack FULL OF DVD SPECIAL EDITION COPIES! Man I'm going old school when they put out the tentatively titled Brass Hinges in August 08, I am gonna walk up to the record store and say gimmee, pay 18 dollars and then set the slip case aside. UGH.

Who are you attempting to convince here? Yourself, or the people on the board? You might have a very carefully made, and legitimate opinion, you don't have to like the new album. But a good argument in a lit. class or on a music board has evidence. I wouldn't compare YHF to SBS because they're apples and oranges. I also wouldn't reactivate my account just to make simple minded knocks on an album a lot of people happen to be enjoying at this moment. But hey you've already inspired me to use my personal time to reply to you, so I guess thats the internet

Alright Ninjas you're a good mediator. I think my complaint is that there are already a thousand arguments against SBS up here, and they are actual arguments with reasoning and site actual songs or lyrics. Not only that but a one dimensional gripe as a first and second post. It's just rough when a newby has to shit in the punch bowl. Once again I fall back on David Fricke's take on music "If you don't get it.....well that's just kinda too bad."

Maybe his album is okay (not Ram or Plastic Ono Band) but I don't know if he's doing okay.

Dude your first post is a complaint. And your second one is a childish joke on their album that came out yesterday. Why are you here? to bitch? I mean I know these things are a little ridiculous but I get on this thing to talk with people about the band, not to hear some whiners construct banal arguments about how awful the band has gotten.

No, no, no. They've been sans-Jay for years now, if you don't like where its going you should probably find another bands fan board to latch on to. And another thing is when Lennon and McCartney split up Lennon wrote Plastic Ono Band, and McCartney wrote Ram, Wilco wrote A Ghost Is Born and Bennett wrote whats the name of that album? (I know someone on here has got it)

Tweedy solo Acuff Rose edge of the stage no PA, nothin but net.

Oh Analogman, I assume your wisdom encouraged you to leave it at that. Knowing our argument would be almost as predictable as a Grateful Dead argument. Hats off to you. How ya feelin about SBS though?

Man I really hate Phish. I loves me some SBS. I also love the Replacements. I would think the old band threads that lead up to SBS would be: Byrds, Zombies, Neil Young, Bob Dylan and the Band (basement tapes), Bill Fay. You down with any of those dudes? Oh, and Phish suck.

I'm now freaking out because I changed the 2xLP to the CD+DVD, and the SBS preorder site doesn't indicate this on my account. EEEEEEEH!

Man, you should never read a novel then. They grow real slow sometimes. Okay, that was shitty. I'll stick with my David Fricke quote "If you don't get it, thats just kinda too bad." There are some stunning new ones from: Feist, Blonde Redhead, and Low if you're looking to spice up your summer listening.

Does he sound like Kermit the Frog? What does he say?

Historically Brendan Canty and Chris Green have done everything on high end digital. (all the Burn to Shine Documentaries)

Wow, this review is funny because I agree with the writer that the album is great. Yet, I whole heartedly disagree with most of what they say (especially the rampant YHF, AGIB bashing).

Two imaginary dollars on What Light.

Have Wilco ever come up with a better song than "Impossible Germany"? For the first three minutes, it's a mysterious soft-rock ballad with jazzy chords filtered through stoner-country guitar licks, like some lost outtake from Steely Dan's Katy Lied. Jeff Tweedy mumbles about isolation in his most beaten-up-by-life voice. Then, in the final three minutes, it builds into a twin-guitar epic, with Tweedy in the left speaker reinventing Fleetwood Mac circa Bare Trees, and Nels Cline in the right speaker reinventing Television circa Adventure. There's no noise, none of the spazzed-out distortion of

I really think that Pitchfork couldn't be any more right in awarding Side With the Seeds the best track ribbon. I also think they couldn't be any more wrong when they say Nels Cline contributed solos, but not texture. Someone needs to buy that constipated critic a pair of headphones and tell him to slow down his mouth and open his ears.

"Best SBS review ever." (someone post a picture of that comic book guy on the simpsons)

That makes total sense. Jim said he was moving to Japan (how long ago was that?) to concentrate on film and stop playing music. It's no shocker that maybe his head wasn't in the right place to mix a Wilco record. But Wait! Could this be the only point of drama and tension in the history of SBS. Someone needs to find out a little more about it and totally blow it out of proportion so we can get something new from the magazines every time they write about the band.

It is, since a lot of us have been reading all the press on this record we can find, I think out of sheer curiosity. But they need something to tie the story up, something from the lyrics, and those aren't a bad place to start. Its only unfortunate when they misquote the lyrics or talk about Blue Sky Blue. I will still take that over: Jeff Tweedy leaves rehab and makes flowery sunshine record with out a trace of experimentalism.

You would be wise to avoid them. I looked at two and they we're something along the lines of "Wilco used to be all crazy with like static and stuff coming out of nowhere, but now its just kinda like boring you know? like just kinda some old man classic rock shit."

Ever since all those damn kids at the mall started buying those 'This Machine Kills Facists' shirts, and hopping trains. Old Timey is just so MTV these days.

Kicking Television, would give Garrison a heart attack.

Sticking to the folkyer numbers.
