Shakey

With each release, Apple steps farther and farther away from the music. All they care about are games, apps, and video. Someone needs to fill that void.

1) Tweedy dumps the band. Joins forces with Buddy Miller and band and cuts a laid back, countrified record - pedal steel, banjo... 2) Tweedy dumps the band. Joins forces with Matthew Sweet and band and cuts a pop / power pop album of hooks and melodies. I'll take number 1.

Um, What Light is the best song on the album.

Amen

"Every Night" - McCartney is my favorite.

Lowell George of Little Feat played guitar for the Standells.

The Standells, know for Dirty Water, Try it, etc. had a soon-to-be very well known guitar player in their band. Who was he?

Jeff said while rehearsing this song, Nils kept playing the My Sweet Lord guitar and they'd all laugh. But it stuck and so they decided to go with it. Not sure how the Neil Diamond intro got in there.

The beginning of the song sounds very Neil Diamondish.

Eddie and Jeff should both dump their bands and go it alone. Please.

REMs died after Life Rich's Pageant. Its a silly comparison.

Replacements

I think Tweedy is the biggest talent in rock. Neil Youngish. I love his songwriting; I love his guitar playing; I really love his voice. His solo shows are amazing. But this band really frustrates me. Probably because I don't really think of them as a 'band'. Glenn's drumming wears on me. Nils guitar playing is so over the top. They just don't quite naturally fit and it seems so rehearsed and baked. I miss the AM / Being There days. I think the songs on this record are strong (especially side two) and can't wait for the next Tweedy solo tour to hear them played at their best. So

1. Being There 2. Am Then the rest in no particular order. A Tweedy solo record would break that top 2.

I think its the best song on the record. By far. Beautiful melody. I'm not a fan of On and On and On

I Must Be High The Lonely One Box of Letters

N. Young Mike Henderson - listen to drunk sound on "Edge of Night" - Frisell is in another world, I mean c'mon S. Stills D. Hidalgo Pete Anderson (Dwight Yoakam)

One soft infested summer me and Terry became friends Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in Catching rides to the outskirts tying faith between our teeth Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat And hiding on the backstreets

Yes. Bring him back. Bring Ken back too.

If you don't like AM, you're not a Wilco fan. Period.

Kenny Aronoff was playing drums at the Inauguration. Not sure if he's recently reunited with John, or just part of the house band, but man is he good.

There She Goes - The Las

I'd like to hear a country-ish, folk based record. Pedal steel, banjo, etc. I'd like to hear Tweedy sing up a key

The first solo McCartney and Ram are his two best. "Every Night' from his first is a really great song.
