Strangers Alamanac - Whiskeytown if only ryan still made music that good!

it's sure as hell not "Living With War".

1. laminated cat 2. at least thats what you said (kicking tv) 3. impossible germany 4. via chicago 5. box full of letters

gotta go with "The Wall", the resurfacing guitar riffs and the story is awesome. Floyd did a great job with "concept albums".

i love wilco, but i can't get into this one at all. my initial reaction to this recording was that it reminded me of hopped up elevator music. "sky blue sky" and "far, far away" sound like the same song to me, i hate shake it off , and the absence of any true rockers annoys me (and yes i have heard walken). with the exception of "impossible germany" and maybe "either way" all of the remaining songs are just ehhhh. the comparisons i was hearing to "being there" have little to no merit in my humble opinion. sorry about the bashing, but i was really looking forward to this recording

most certainly my least favorite track on this record.

the other you apparently get if you buy the disc at an independant record store, i can't remember what it has on it other than a live version of bandages and scars.

there are 2 ep's floating out there. if you get the disc at best buy you get alternate versions of the picture (without horns) and highways and cigarettes (acoustic). the third song is circadian rhythm live at acl fest. i can see why some would try to shoot down my earlier reviews, but if i just thought it was good i would have said that. the first time i heard okemah i was like ehhhh. the first time i heard yhf i said it was a masterpiece. not comparing the two i just love the recording and really think it is some of the best stuff i have heard. just my take sorry i fired back at yo

can you post anything on this forum without someone being an as*hole ???? maybe four question marks will suit you better.

this disc is a masterpiece!!!!! i really think everyone here would enjoy it. jay farrar's best work, period. yes that includes uncle tupelo and trace.

i have heard people comment that the first half of the record is weak. circadian rythm, underground dream, action and the search are all great imo. when they played these at the free concert in philly all 4 were awesome.

that's one of the first first solo's that came to mind. good call. i take it walken is not a nels cline fan.

why would you say he is a wash up? the man consistently makes brilliant music.

http://www.xponentialmusic.org/ click on the son volt icon, then streaming icon.

i think it is ridiculous to suspend a kid from college for downloading music, i don't care how much he or she does it. i could think of worse things to do in my free time.

here you go. http://www.gumbopages.com/son-volt.html you can get uncle tupelo tabs/tunings from that icon as well.

he uses drop d alot. he also comes up with some of his own. many of the people on jay's board are guitar wizards and still can't figure out the tuning for medication. i've got a page somewhere w/ a ton of son volt tabs including alternate tunings. i'll see if i can scrounge it up.

i'm still learning.... behringer v-tone (strat copy). behringer 15 watt amp. yamaha eterna acoustic. the yamaha has been declared by many of my musician friends as the most unforgiving guitar of all time.

jay and the boys announced several new tour dates in support of the next record "the search" which comes out march 6. the tour starts 03-26-07 and is mostly west coast and mid west. here is the link for the dates http://jayfarrar.net/tour/index.htm i am sure most of you all here know that they kick ass live

i hate to start another cliche' i love this recording thread, but here goes anyway.... big "alt-country" fan here, who listened to wilco alot in the late 90's but never bought any discs. i decided to dive into the wilco catalog recently (already had all of tupelo's stuff). i started w/ kicking tv and yhf. i was marginal on both in the beginning, so in one fatal swoop i got everything else knowing the alt-country sound was somewhat present. after wearing them all out i seem to always comeback to kicking tv. i absolutely love those 2 discs. i haven't noticed it getting much love around

kicking tv disc 2 yesterday. a.m. day before. i love having a cd player at work

you guys should really check this one out. if you loved uncle tupelo's march album, you will love this one too. way to go cal, get the moderators in a tiff why don't you!

thanks for letting us hang out for a while. i think alot of us including myself, love wilco but just post on jays board.

here is a back door in for those of you who don't have it!!!!!!!!! http://66.113.175.214/board/index.htm

still not up, no word from fastatmosphere or sharon agnello
