  1. But I have to go with: Wilco: California Stars I'm The Man That Loves You I'm Always In Love Pieholden Suite Far Far Away Say You Miss Me New Madrid Wait Up (These have work well) Neil Young: Harvest (Great fucking song) Bob Dylan: Shelter From The Storm Apple Sucking Tree Corina Corina Your Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go The Velvet Underground: Pale Blue Eyes I'll come up with more later especially more Neil Young and Dylan and other artists.
  2. Your right, its "Sister Ray" that gets the drags going.
  3. I think both albums have a refrence to 70's music with Born Again In the U.S.A. a nod to prog-rock while Sky Blue Sky a nod to the soul and interweaving guitars of the 70's. I mean I always thought the title of Loose Fur's second album is a refrence to the music within the album you know: Bruce Springsteen's horrible album came out in the 70's expect the music is not in any relation to Springsteen, but rather the music from the 70's is being born again such as prog-rock (most of the album), rockers (Hey Chicken), and some country-rock (Ruling Class).
  4. I listened to it once when they streamed Saturday night and will not listen to it again until May. I may listen to the single "What Light" though because it is killer.
  5. I hope they don't because I hate Rolling Stone. All they know how to do is suck up to anyone that is popular within the mainstream.
  6. It does not stick out. It has the same concept of being minimal within its landscape which relates to the rest of the songs on the album. Besides the song rocks with an amazing Neu!-like beat ("Hallo Gallos"), the riff, and the fragmented gutiar solos. Who could ask for more?
  7. I know the basic chords of the song for the verses, but I have trouble figuring out what he plays in-between the verses at solo shows. Does anyone know what he does?
  8. Hey great stereotype man. Just let me just me to first to say you need to do your research. He has done thousands of different of styles. Before stereotyping the man, you need to listen to other recordings he has done. This is what you need to do in order to not be a dumbass: Buy or listen to: Destroy All Nels Cline- Come back on to Via Chicago and then tell me if he is a smooth jazz guitarist. Edible Flowers- Its out of print but fantastic duo with Devin Sarno and just to let you know the CD has lots of drones. To me, I don't think drones have anything to do with smooth jazz guitarist.

    Sky Blue Sky

    I listened to it once last night late with only one speaker working, but it was fucking great. I LOVE IT that they did something different. As Tweedy has mention, there is a 70's vibes feel which is true because of the soul coming from the keyboards and I also enjoy the interweaving guitar parts. While I am not sure where it ranks for me because I only listened to it once and will not listened to it again till May 15, I think its great. They did something DIFFERENT which is what is important because while AGIB is my favorite album, I would have been pissed if they did repeated A Ghost Is B
  10. Does anyone know when they will stop streaming the album because I am going to be out tonight but should be home between midnight and 1 am?
  11. I always try to go to an indepdent store but if I can't, then I go to SamAsh instead.
  12. I have question for people to discuss (I had this same question in a conversation with someone who once was Wilco but now is not): As a result of AGIB being written far prior to its recording, is the album actually creative? Disclaimer: AGIB is my favorite album. Also, I have heard most of the songs on the new album were written a while ago too? Is it true?
  13. I am looking into buying one and I was wondering if anyone would know a place in the Chicagoland area where I could get one somewhat less 2,500 or 2,000?
  14. A Ghost Is Born would be my desert island pick and of course Jim O'Rourke's "Bad Timing." I just had to add that in because I truly love that album a lot too. There both minimal statements that reflect on a lot that happens in life.

    Glenn Solo

    I am in too but I think he is just a special guest for the Elmhurst percussion ensemble. However, I hope he does perform something of his own work.
  16. If you are talking about Jorgensen, Cline, and Sansone your nuts. In the new songs, the keyboards sound great and I enjoy Sansone's guitar playing on "Walken" when he does slide down on the guitar. Plus, Jorgensen contribution behind the computer is huge and I do think "Hell Is Chrome" and "Theologians" are rather good songs. And finally Cline, has had a huge impact with making the Summerteeth tunes sound darker (Via Chicago, A Shot In The Arm), Misunderstood sounds better than ever, his solo on Ashes of American Flags is killer, and unlike Mr. I have to play every single note in every single
  17. He is credited for "A Shot In The Arm"
  18. Death Cab and The Postal Service suck!
  19. Someone a month ago posted an article from I think Q magazine? and within the article it stated that Jeff Tweedy was producing it. However, Jim O'Rourke is still mixing the record which I happy to hear because Jim O'Rourke ruins records. Though seriously I love O'Rourke and I think he is amazing at everything he does.
  20. I went to the May 7 show and they did start off that night with the first three songs that are on KT meaning: Misunderstood, Company in My Back, and The Late Greats. So my guess is that those songs could be from May 7, but I could be wrong.
  21. No they only mention about Barack Obama smoking ciagrettes.
  22. A dense poem with words taken from "Tropic Of Cancer" by Henry Miller which I think is rather creative by Tweedy cause I do it too and so does everyone else basically. Since nothing is sacred.
  23. I have to go with what got me into Wilco in 2005 with A Ghost Is Born. At the time, I was really starting to become disappointed in rock and roll. I did not know about some good music that existed nowadays and I basically thought rock and roll is dead. However, I was looking at NPR's All Songs Considered show and I noticed the viewer's #1 album of 2005 was A Ghost Is Born. At the time, I had only heard Wilco by name because of Greg Kot and Jim Derogatis's review of the Madison Square Garden show on New Year's eve 2004 on Sound Opinions. So I went to buy the CD on my first day of spring brea
