lost highway

Dont despair yet, you haven't heard it. Who knows maybe us optimists will be dissapointed and the naysayers will be suprised with deep love for the thing. Ya never, never know...

I bet its different, they haven't played it in almost a year, and probably didn't perform it for at least five or six months before they started recording. All it would take is the perfect little tweak.

This thread has become entirely to pretentious and intellectual for me.

So your comments in no way endorse the eagles or eagle related tunesmithing.

From the authoratative moustache under you piercing eyes, and the award you have received from the planetary husband appreciation network.

Yeah, I cant figure out how despite the massive success of 'Express Yourself', Charles Wright is often omitted from the list of classic soul performers.

Ooh that makes for a great Freudian slip in my endless maze of clauses and commas. No I meant its not cause I adore Tweedy more then Soul Asylum or the Jayhawks, but just cause those particular songs really sound like better songs to me. Only your opinion is the truth, I just try. Also truth. Ask Callahan or Plato, higher form of the good for sure.

Its funny I think I have a different space for Golden Smog in my brain. I thought Another Fine Day had a higher hits to misses ratio then Weird Tales. I dont think they have to have Tweedy to do well (a couple of the new records songs without him are pretty alright) but so far the songs he has sung on have just been better written. I swear its not a Tweedy bias, just the truth. Kinda like how Collin Meloy makes for the best moment on Minus 5's gun album.

I'd say its at least four gems, hugged warmly with bland. But then again Golden Smog bland on this disc is better then bland on others.

By this you mean there might even be reverb on the album? One who takes interest in these production matters has to marvel at how gorgeously dry and small AGIB often sounds, its as if they are playing in your bedroom through tiny amps with a t-shirt over the snare drum.

ooooh yeah, In a Future Age, the MOST UNDERATED WILCO SONG EVER!!! in caps.

wait are some of you actually there?!

he's a charming goof ball-ripped his head off, ate his heart, finished the song

my webcast window just said 'warning dangerous ideas'

damn mine cut too on the new song!!!

Am I the only person on earth who has no idea what a superball is. Please enlighten me.

Sort of like when someone compliments my layup, because they know I cant slam dunk, possibly due to being pigmentally challenged.

Man I would love to hear the demo version of 'Birds and Ships' sans Natalie Merchant vox. A well written super-simple endearing song.

I found Jim Webb's comments on class divisions, and Jackson's (not my favorite historic politician) view that you judge economic conditions from Main St. instead of Wall St. to be how you say: fresh and on time. Anti War rhetoric is indeed about as predictable as it is necessary, but you can not deny the thrill of seeing a major politician call the war four years of a disasterous mistake AND THEN have the FOX NEWS REPUBLICAN ANALYST not even bother to refute him. Bush is in a lonely lonely place, because he has steered our country into the toilet and his own people are turning on him.

Bush is center stage on the TV, and I gotta take a sec to vent on the internet. He suddenly wants to fix health care, and schools, and balance the budget (that Clinton meticulously perfected in order for Bush to destroy it) all while cutting taxes. Huh.....his plan is if your poor, you get a write off for health care so you dont have to pay as much tax. So he is going to magically fix health care by having more people pay less taxes, while the rest continue to pay what has alway been not enough. Genius. Meanwhile we got a trillion dollar war that never ends.

Am I the only one on the board that thinks the Panthers version from the AGIB sessions is completely mesmerizing (sp?). Its so good I reach for adjectives I can hardly spell.

Where do you put it so you dont lose it? (re--Im a dumby who needs it on my headstock or I will lose the thing along with my sense of security)

What kind of tea does he drink? His voice sounds so much more rich and strong than it ever has before.

Okay heres where I get nit picky: the pitchfork blurb has a link to a stream of The Thanks I Get and says it is off the upcoming album. The link is to Tweedy's solo version from the DVD. Can we trust Pitchfork actually knows the confirmed tracklist? It has been a matter of uncertainty as to weather that tasty soulful pop of ..thanks I get, will actually be featured on the album. If you care about this please commence the debate. If you dont: I am sorry, I am just a little too excited for this album.
