I don't think the song contains that episode. It seems like there is no mention of contest, just a strange and sleepy decent into something comfortable, otherworldly and suspect. It always reminds me of the scene in Train Spotting when McGregor OD's and he falls through the carpeted floor while Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" is playing.

Wilco had a great chance to debut at #1 On Billboard

Oh well, I don't really care if they make number one, and I bet they don't either. The best thing about it happening would mean (like it did for Modest Mouse) that really popular music can be interesting. Doesn't make Wilco look any better, just makes music purchasers look better. -
I only listen to 180 gram vinyl and I only watch films in 16mm. This is an insult to my format preference.

No, and I sent an inquiry email. Apparantly you can't get a reply within two hours. Damn this world that revolves not around me.

Was he nice/smart/attractive/inspiring/informative?

Thereby avoiding one of the biggest marketing blunders of the 21st century. Phew.

I believe he prefers Digimon.

Awww crap. As soon as I preorder they do this. What about the vinyl buyers, can we get in on this. Holy crap. Crap.

I will eat my hat if 'Just a Kid' is a hidden track on SBS. So unlikely, I just doubt it through and through.
-
wow, I've never heard it anything like that before......thats a big version.
-
So I went all out and ordered the gatefold double LP vinyl for SBS (yeah thats right Analogman), and they say I get a video download. What exactly is this video, and when do I get to download it? cause it wont let me right now.

Their sonic adventures aside I find them terribly hard to compare. Wilco sounds infinitely more comforting because they use folk and classic rock as taking off points for whatever stylistic innovations they offer whereas Radiohead seems to jump from a more avant classic rock (Pink Floyd and much scarier kraut rock stuff) and total electronica. This makes Radiohead feel a lot more cold their songs about alienation sound so much more alien, like being lost in space. YHF seems like being lost in the space we call America. They're interesting to compare because they're two of the most relevan

There is a marked difference between the two considering Sky Blue Sky makes me sigh (bitter sweet kind of sigh) and Far, Far Away makes me swill (probably a cheap American draught, might have a tear somewhere in there).

Apples and oranges my friend, so you're more of a citrus man I see. The thing that I love about Summerteeth, (and if anyone can relate to this hollerback so I don't feel like an island) is that it is simultaneously the best and worst Wilco album. Moment to moment and song to song I think it has some of their biggest break throughs and biggest mistakes. They took risks and thats awesome. It seems their gambling brought more consistent returns come YHF but that album exhibits so much of what they learned from Summerteeth.

Dang froggie's right again. Got me, too. But just to seal the deal: I love all of you guys that agree with me. You guys are really smart, smarter than the rest of those morons. :yay :yay :yay

Whoah. This thread is getting a meta element to it. Here lets discuss some merit to some statements. NPR is not always thought of as 'polarized', many centrists believe it is one of the most unbiased sources of information next to the BBC. I never said anything about harshing my mellow, I just think someone on a rock and roll bands fanboard would have enough earthly wisdom to know better than to think a lifestyle choice such as recreational drug use having much to do with their ability to interpret information, and understand what a musician says in interviews. As far as your bud light d

Ten points to Bjorn.

Does anyone remember that horse on Ren and Stimpy that says "No Sir, I don't like it."? Ten points to someone who can post a picture of that horse.

This is true. One good turn deserves another. But honestly how fair can we be about Radiohead? They seem to make people say things....wonderful things.....terrible things. But I did realize this. Re:Topic name. There must be little merit to the statement at the top. Because it produced arguments about: VC, Radiohead, NPR and even better my statement about someone else's statement. So to answer the thread: little merit. But I find Tweedy statements, NPR and tongue-tied's most on-time criticism of my circular sentence: meritful.

Oh I hope you don't mean that. Cause if its a joke its funny, otherwise it means you have bad taste and your nasty about it. Wait a second. I think much of what I have heard from his interviews is refreshing and insightful. Kind of like NPR. And why stigmatize marijuana use? Would you rather he sound off some trite kibble like fox news and then you can drink a bud lite and high five the president?

I have been back and forth since I heard it. I've decided that I really dont like the intro all that much but once it starts freakin its funk it rules. (i.e. when the fuzzier vox kick in "sometimes theres a war".)

Yeah poor Jim, his name causes dork wars. I miss him (I'm gonna go to Japan and say hi). We can talk khz somewhere else.

The "problems" you speak of are more often called dynamics. Unfortunately in the last ten years new fancy digital mastering techniques have completely taken all of them out and made the loudest cd possible. Some people (maybe mostly nerds) still like albums that can get quieter, but in todays market they seem challenging to peoples exhausted ears. If you imagine the comic book store owner from the simpsons saying this that is fair, but AGIB was sonically one of the most refreshing album to come out in ages.
