I donno. After going back and listening to One Wing I'm more psyched.

hehe, is it like a rule that once a month somone asks about this? no offense, heh..

hmm, something tells me a guy like Nels Cline saying a record being wilder, and "much more unexpected" tells me that complaining about One Wing might seem a little misguided.

this is guaranteed awesome.

I mean, The Beatles--good singers. Paul McCartney-- genius....but Pink Floyd? Sorry, you had me til then. Also, Thom Yorke has an extremely good voice and decent range. Probably a better range than Tweedy, and better singer. But I feel like Tweedy has consistently captured different moods. If you look at two quiet Wilco songs- Sky Blue Sky, and Someday Some Morning, there is a still a huge different in tone and color. Thom Yorke doesn't do that. Tweedy's a good singer, on the mumbly side, but he is extremely good at using what he's got. To me, Radiohead and the cartoonist R. Crumb pre

while I thing Berman is painting with a broad stroke (and kind of arrogantly too) I agree with him and this kind of materializes my feelings on Radiohead in general. Sure, they're an incredibly unique band, but even at The Bends all you have is this whining sense of self pity and agony. Seriously, Thom Yorke, with the ability to put out a record with no label and still make a sizable profit why are you so angry and depressed all the time? This is why I think Wilco is infinitely better than them. Where with Radiohead you always have this droning on and on about self pity and angst, with Wil

wow, does it frighten anyone to see how young they are here? I mean, obviously it's not that long ago, but still..Glenn looks like fresh out of grad school.

I like Dash 7, but the other stuff, not so much.

the only thing known at this point in time is that it's probably coming out in January, it's probably called Merriweather Post Pavilion, and it features 3 members of the band. oh, and a tracklisting. Track List: 1. In the Flowers 2. My Girls 3. Also Frightened 4. Summertime Clothes 5. Daily Routine 6. Bluish 7. Guys Eyes 8. Taste 9. Lion in a Coma 10. No More Runnin 11. Brother Sport everything else is a mystery, and I am excited.

Animal Collective

wow, really, on The View? you know you have a problem when both candidates couldn't/can't handle competently talking and discussing your issues with those women.... edit: not that it matters that if they were anti-Obama he would get ripped apart too, but I'm still amazed some people here are still vehemently pro Obama, OR McCain. they're both awful choices. On one hand, you have Obama: you want to like him, but too bad he's just as big of a liar as any politician. He's consistently sided with the "evil" George Bush on issues which he now tries to distance himself from, and he tries to pr

same

to be fair, Obama is just as bad.

vote Ron Paul real change

Here comes the sun and Clair de Lune are probably the two most beautiful uplifting songs ever edit: and usually this band is great (but not always standard "nice"), but Loch Raven off of Feels by Animal Collective is amazing and up there with those two I feel like.

as much as I don't like Kevin Barnes, he's a pretty smart guy.

if I'm not mistaken, those guys all have the high enough range to sing good falsetto, like Brian Wilson, where JT's range is low enough for him to have to sing actual falsetto (where male singers with a lower range can sing falsetto, it works differently and isn't as clean sounding). that's what I mean...it's the difference between Beck's "Debra" and the high parts in Good Vibrations or any earlier Beach Boys song. I could be wrong, but this is what my girlfriend whose part of a choir told me, and having a generally similar range to JT I get what she's saying.

JT is probably the only guy I can think of who tastefully does falsetto

i think my main problem is that it wasn't even a review. I definitely got around to going over the content, but they didn't even analyze the album. What was good about the album? what was bad? instead we get a random, literary mess of relating Wilco to The Band, something I'm SURE NO ONE has heard of. I don' care that he thought the album was good, that's not my problem. it's the fact he went at length to make all these comparisons without even talking about why the album is good or bad. A rating doesn't suffice, a review is a review, not some pretentious exercise in witty use of languag

this is the worst music review I have ever read.

yeah but Glenn could probably actually do the drumming to 15 Step

for the short among us, this was a brutal venue. The Pines personally was a better place. The acoustics muffled all the individual parts, too, but still, a great show.

for me it's gotta be "Flying" off of MMT. IT's like a good rap beat.

Wilco isn't the American Radiohead because Wilco doesn't suck.
