"Egg Foo Young?....Enter the Dragon"---

These songs will all sound great live! Once again WILCO outdistance themselves from the usual by making a record no one but rock critics and fans will listen to. It's essentially devoid of any possible radio "hit", and I DIG that about these guys. They make great music, and we never have to worry about corporations or the generally dumb ass radio ready public ruining a perfectly good thing. Face it; these guys COULD do anything, any type of song or style they wanted to do, but they do what they feel and that's cool.- So yes, in that way the Radiohead comparisons are valid, but My Morning Jacket and The Flaming Lips and a host of other American bands are in full bloom right now creatively as well. Wilco are at the helm of a musical happening right now, because no one really expects airplay from typical radio so the game is wide open and wonderful. This album adds to that tapestry in it's own unique way. Bravo Wilco, Excelsior!

looking forward to MY 1ST WILCO SHOW!
