Ugh. That's terrible to hear. It hits home for me...my dad was prescribed Fentanyl, along with a boatload of other pain management drugs. They never really did much more than temporarily mask things, and the danger of overdose was always there. Pretty safe to say he wasn't looking to go out like that. RIP...hope you found peace, Jay.

What the heck... Just ordered the single, can someone PM me? Many thanks.

Pleasures: - The way that several of the songs (One Wing, BBN, You Never Know, the Song) so easily find a groove. I listened to this album while moving out of Miami this past weekend and it got me through some pretty boring stretches with ease...even joy. - The sonic density, which a lot of people have mentioned - The album pacing. Probably the best sequencing of all the Wilco albums. Disappointments: - The duet with Feist. Lyrics aside, the sound of this song is something out of a romantic comedy soundtrack, or a bad TV drama. that's really it

I feel like a fool, because I'm not finding the presale info anywhere? Is there a link of some sort? Sorry and thanks in advance.

This story probably doesn't fit here, but whatever... I was flying from Atlanta to Chicago (Midway) earlier this month, and ended up sitting next to a twentysomething girl. We started asking each other questions, and she said she was married and her husband is from the midwest. So I asked her where from, and she says "Belleville, Illinois". I'm like, "Oh, yeah, the home of Jeff Tweedy." And she got all excited that I knew that. And then proceeded to tell me that her husband actually went to high school with Jeff and Jay, and that the first-ever performance of what became Uncle Tupelo occ

"One day I woke up to find right in the bed next to mine Someone that broke me up with a corner of her smile" Okay, that's three lines. Whatever.

Gotta go with: "I was up all night again boning up and reading the American dictionary You'll never believe me, what I've found think I better follow you around" or "But that's how we like it, and that's all we want Something to cry for, and something to hunt"

You got it. Although I love the feeling the Brothers Johnson version gives me...but it's kinda like the Hendrix version of Watchtower vs the Dylan version of Watchtower. The Hendrix version is a great sonic landscape but loses some of the "spook", whereas Dylan's Watchtower has this reservoir of romanticism and mystery due to its sparseness. Same thing with the Shuggie Otis version. It's got this intangible spook that BJ version doesn't have.

Alright, I changed my mind. It's "Strawberry Letter #23".

Sleeps With Angels is my favorite of his post-80 output. It was one of the first NY albums I bought on CD, and it took me about 7 years to get into it, but the whole album just spooks me out emotionally...which not many albums do. Mirror Ball is an excellent road trip album. Yeah, it drones a bit, and as I heard someone say, the songs probably took a total of 40 minutes to write, but there's really not a bad track on the whole album. Broken Arrow is another excellent album, provided you can get beyond the lack of chord changes in Loose Change and the C+ audience recording at the end of the

My heart goes to the PurpleChick mix of the Beach Boys' "Surf's Up". Possibly the most sublime melody line ever written in pop. But does that recording really count, since it's really a FLAC-only sort of thing? If not...for me, it always goes back to Gimme Shelter, which I saw was mentioned earlier. A menacing riff, an absolutely remarkable sonic atmosphere, some truly dead-end lyrics, and Merry Clayton singing the hell out of it. I've always felt that it sounds like nothing else in rock and roll.

There should be no guilt whatsoever in loving the Dan. I first got hooked by an old, old reel-to-reel mixtape that my father had cobbled together off of radio broadcasts in the late 70's. It had "Peg" on it...that was my entry point. Still one of my favorite songs ever, even moreso because I understand what the lyrics mean now. I've been on a kick here lately, trying to collect all of the available torrents from the 1974 live shows. It's a shame that there's so little bootleg live material out there from the band. Despite Becker and Fagen's loathing of touring in the 70's, they put on a

Great info...thanks for knowing it! I wonder if they owed any royalties for sampling a product demo.

Maybe I'm a bad searcher or something, but after 14 pages and 35 minutes of searching, I only found a handful of threads specifically discussing Magazine, and there was no consensus on where that little piece of music is from. Bummer. Also, as I go back to listen to the song...am I the only one who prefers the YHF Demos verson over the MLTM version?

At the start of Magazine, there's about a 7 second clip of what sounds like canned music before the full orchestration starts. Is that a Wilco original, or is it sampled from something else? I remember hearing that clip of music on a golf commercial a couple years ago, which is what made me wonder.

That would be a curveball only if Neil Young hadn't already released "Arc".

Worst place ever.

Yeah, they had a string of radio hits in the mid-90's...didn't "Gel", "Shine", and "Where the River Flows" all come out within like a year of each other? I haven't heard any of their new stuff, either.

American Psycho - Treble Charger (or was that the early 00's?) Summer Sanders - Daddy's Soul Donut Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth - Primitive Radio Gods Teen Angst - Cracker Also, PotKettleTug ... Are you thinking of "Super Bon Bon" by Soul Coughing?

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is a hopeless mess of a record. It's got some good songs, but it's far from an all-time classic. Love's Forever Changes contains almost nothing that warrants its reputation. The best song of the 1960's was "Gimme Shelter". The 1967-72 Moody Blues are unfairly underrated by music critics.
