this makes me happy.

thats a good list

I kinda agree with point 1 & 3 but lets face it: You & I really is the definition of blandness. Seriously, there's no reason to like this song other than the 'zomg, Feist is on it!'-thingie.

i agree with that

so after a number of listens i have decided the following:

-tracks 1 to 4 are moderately enjoyable, "one wing" and "bull black nova" are clearly the standouts on the album.

-"you and i" is cool with the feist thing and everything.

-i classify the remainder of the album as bland, with the exception of "i'll fight," as i love the lyrics.

1. Poor Places

2. I Am Trying To Break Your Heart

3. Pot Kettle Black

3. Via Chicago

if this was SBS i would be happy.

I really like the last 20 seconds of one wing.

i like the "pitchfork gives music a 6.8" thing

It was WAY oversold. Tweedy also seemed PO'd, IIRC there was somebody towards the front heckling him.

it made me really happy at the end when Jeff said "thanks for coming...except you."

i would also love to get this recording...the one on dime is down/gone. help?

at this point, i wouldn't even care if any of that was true. i kinda want it to be so the annoying speculation can stop.

was wondering if anyone was at this show - probably the best wilco show i've been to. they did the "how can I?" routine, but they reversed it, so the crowd asked "how can i?" and they screamed into the mics. it was amazing. they also brought along a couple of young horn players for monday/i'm the man who loves you. i just looked at the setlist and got goosebumps.

this probably belongs in after the show, but i figured since it was quite a long time ago it wouldn't get that many views.

I like that version of Hummingbird better than the ABIG version.

Yes.

I really like One Wing now, especially the last 2 minutes of it.

A thread full of one liners as your country goes down the tubes.

Whereas you are the solution in this situation.

i think everyone should

Woo!

I suppose every band has to do it, but I have never liked it.

The Kicking Television version of Poor Places

"My jaw's been broken, my heart is wrapped in ice."

Come be my waitress and serve me tonight

Serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon

almost every song by the national; "cardinal song" and "green gloves" are the ones that come to mind first though.

m83's "run into flowers" too.

and when everything is downstairs for practice

Not terribly controversial
