Incorrect.

I also love Draft Morning, sometimes I think Notorious is one of the strongest influences on Wilco's sound.

Was it 3rd Eye Blind that was mercilessly booed for such bold proclamations in Cleveland?

HRC is nailing it right now.

Ah, we're dusting off this old chestnut.

Yeah, I think more people find overdrive pedals more handy, but there's a tool for everything, and really the difference between overdrive and distortion is kind of academic. Really it's a progression with most pedals.

I read this in a thick Scottish brogue, "FOOkin'".

It sounds awesome. Too bad it's almost 300 bones!

Well there's Reaganomics, Iran-contra, the savings and loan crisis and he ruined the EPA with industry corruption. Don't believe me? Ask the Dead Kennedys! But we digress.

I'm convinced that in an alternate universe, a Sanders presidency would leave his supporters as disillusioned as many Obama supporters felt. I think this is the nature of being president of this country. I also think similar to Obama, Sanders would make changes in the places he could. There has been an ongoing philosophical cliche about the 'lesser of evils' as an unacceptable motive to vote. The more I think about this, the more limited I find the perspective. Every president of the U.S. (at least in the last century, I'm not sharp enough on some of the earlier ones to say) has been directl

I've read more than one article recently that suggested NAFTA was neither the disaster its critics claimed it to be, nor the smashing success its proponents have claimed. I'm no economist, but I found that perspective interesting.

I'll take a senator/constitutional law professor over a business mogul every time.

No need to feel bad. I think everyone can agree that the music has changed. I freakin love Star Wars, I love it. But my relationship with it is different. It's like AGIB and YHF were in my bones the way Joni Mitchell, or Nick Drake can get. It's a poetic, sonic, deeply emotional conversation that merges with your actual identity as a listener. Star Wars gets into me the way that Guided by Voices does. It's imaginative, invigorating and joyful, it just doesn't cut as deep. Few things do, I love the Faces, or R.E.M., or the New Pornographers, or ELO, but they don't bare the same kind of weigh

Strategy question: did Clinton gain more votes from the center for her VP pick or did she lose more from the far left? (Talk amongst yourselves).

It's about acceptance- accepting who you are, being accepted by the person in your life. Both Whole Love in the human relationship sense, and a full confession as Jeff pointed out. Laying it all down on the table. I feel like the quasi title track lays the theme out there, also Born Alone in kind of a depressing way, Dawned on Me in a romantic way are songs of acceptance. I remember in the interviews for Sky Blue Sky Jeff said he had always wanted to put out a record with some lyrics that could express his life with his wife in the kinder terms she was deserving of. I don't really know i

It's such a lame waffley move. Okay, you can button hook the LGBTQ community as a talking point while you're thinking about bombing the shit out of ISIS. How progressive.

This is my question. Are enough people really this scared? Has their everyday experience of America been that frightening? I mean, I get the suffering of some rust belt folks with industries shutting down, but do that many of our citizens walk outside everyday and say, "Oh god, how terrible. This place is falling apart and I'm frightened for my life. The last eight years have been the most dangerous time of my life."

This is a sidestep, and terribly on the nose, but I remember they were leaking an mp3 a week for the Tweedy album the summer my wife and I moved. I was making a lot of extra trips in my car and I probably played "Summer Noon" about a million times. It brings me back to that moment in a great way every time I hear it. In fact, I think driving is a huge part of my association for these songs and albums. Probably because it's the thing I do where I hear the most music (other than playing music). YHF, Summerteeth and SBS are all winter to me. Don't know why, they just remind me of wanting to

I'm not sure what you're looking for here.... sorry you feel this way? You're right they're on a downward spiral? Shut up dude, it's awesome you're listening wrong? But seriously, Star Wars rips, hard. If you're not into how that works it seems the next one is likely to please you as it resets the dial a few notches in the other direction (or at least that's what they said). As for the title, a rose by any other name.... the way I see it now is that Tweedy and Co. have artistically liberated themselves. They already had their own studio, then they got their own label, and now they've s

Too bad about the heading, "Is this the best country can do for president?". I myself have wondered what country can do for president. It seems country votes for people that it doesn't actually like for nominee. Country should be more thoughtful in nomination process and maybe next time country will nominate Kasich, and O'Malley, or Sanders.

I'm glad people dig it. I'm sure when I get to know the album it will give it positive associations. Is it lame that I liked it more when I read about the artist being from Catalonia?

180g vinyl sounds the same as standard vinyl. That whole thing is an old hi fi myth. The thicker slab is just less likely to warp if mistreated but the same grooves. Color is tricky. Generally colored vinyl is not as good as black, but I can't recall why. It's a subtle difference and I've been told some plants press colored that sounds as good as black.

He's awesome. I loved the last one, haven't picked up the new one yet. Also, I too have struggled with his last name. It's Kiwanuka.

I remember Jeff saying that when they made agib they had material to make a garage/punk record, a noise rock record and a folk record but they ended up weaving an eclectic album. A while before the Whole Love they talked about doing a double album with rippers on one disc and a sad/beautiful second disc. Once again it didn't happen that way. I think the one-two punch of Star Wars and Schmilco is the boys finally getting to do something they've talked about for years.

They have no real ideas.
