lost highway

I remember some story about on one song they had everyone play and instrument they were uncomfortable on (might be the noisier version of misunderstood which was mixed in with the mellow version making the song we know and love). Remember that violing screeching at the very beginning of BT? I might be wrong but I think its there. That wouldn't be the same instance as Jeff playing Bass seeing as he is quite comfortable with the instrument.

# 1: Sure noisey endings can be a way to reflect an existential angst or the ideas of interference in personal life and relationships. They do that well. But they also fucking rock. #2: John Fahey has no lyrics. Gastr Del Sol (Jimmy) love the use of noisy disruptions.

Yes, but in any discussion of art, lit., music etc. It is usually more persuasive to provide a decent example when making an umbrella statement like "I realize Wilco are a boring band fronted by a musically empty soul-cougher" and why would you follow that up by "I Still Love Them"? Thats like saying this band is freakin dumb and repugnant, but I like them because I am the same.

I would be curioius to who you would gesture towards as an example of lyrics that aren't shitty and shallow. You probably don't need to guess that there are hundreds of people on here that would love to battle that point out with you. But, before any such thing happens, I wonder whats your antidote. Who writes a good line if Tweedy's are 'shitty'?

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.

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.
