hmmm... very interesting. right now i think a bug getting squished is the most right on. or at least with me, you know? no. you don't know...

So i love how poetic Tweedys lyrics can be. It is one of the more appealing aspects of Wilcos music to me. Sometimes I get it, sometimes i don't. Sometimes the music moves me one way and lyrics push me another. Bottom line, there is some very powerful music produced by Wilco (lyrically adn musically) and i think Company in My Back ranks pretty high up there is this reguard. But what is the song about? I honestly have no idea. Maybe some of you do.

also, i think Kind of Blue is more of a fall/winter/spring sunday morning album than anything. Just my .02

Thank so much everyone. I really appreciate all the recomendations and have found some new great music. I also just really appreciate this thread. I know its a bit of a downer, but it's allowed me to get some things off my chest without worrying what i am saying or who i am saying it to. Music is a constant in my life. Probably the only constant. I am by no means trying to wallow in this music, even though that seems to me what i am doing more often than not. I am just trying to mix up my music library. The music isn't really helping anything and i cannot handle listening to lonesome tea

I'll take em live, studio, with a soup, or with a salad. A Ghost Is Born is (probably) my favorite Wilco album.

so how does the presale business work?

still sucks. nights and mornings are still awful. it's like i can go all day and get by by hoping that she is going to call or text me. but then night comes and i realized it's not going to happen and that i'm going to be alone. and then i wake up alone, and it reminds me that it's over. then i go to work and don't get much done. and repeat. ugh.

Also, what's the deal with the presale? Do i need a password or something?

it's impossible for me to have a favorite. The three albums i listen to most are AGIB, Summerteeth, and YHF. But i listen to AM and Being there and SBS a whole lot too. I pretty much love their whole discography. Mermaid Avenue Two is probably the least listened to for me.

does any one think there is a chance for a New Years show?

I live in Missoula!

yeah, i got my roomates to enter. you guys are so dunzo.

done and done!

A.M. - That's Not the Issue / Casino Queen Being There - Sunken Treasure / Hotel Arizona Mermaid Ave. 1 - At My Window Sad and Lonely / Christ for President Summerteeth - A Shot in the Arm / My Darling Mermaid Ave. 2 - Someday Some Morning Sometime / All You Fascists YHF - I am Trying to Break Your Heart / Reservations AGIB - Company in my Back / I'm a Wheel SBS - Impossible Germany / What Light W(TA) - I'll Fight / You and I I like most of the songs that are i have listed as my least favorite from the albums, so this isn't really saying much. Also, i think all of the Wilco albums, collectiv

i know it is best for me to just cut all ties with her and all forms of communication. But i don't really want to end this relationship either. she is the one who wants to end it. so it's alot easier said than done. i think it is just time for me to stop being a pussy and get on with getting over it. again, easier said than done but maybe if i put my mind to it...

tender is a great song! Listned to that one a lot a long time ago. Just read the lyrics again, and i think it will find it's way back into my listening library. Thanks for all the recomendations everyone. I apreciate it. SO far, tender is the night. and tender is the morning. and tender are all the places we use to go together. the grocery store, our favorite bike trails. meals we use to eat together do not taste as good naymore. shows we use to watch together are no longer entertaining. Everything in my life reminds me of her in some way. And it is very hard feeling that all these things a

waking up alone on a saturday morning is very hard. it's even harder trying not to think about her waking up alone too. and what she is thinking or how she is feeling. i just want to see her so bad. that's all i really want right now. even if things are ending, hanging out and suffereing together sounds like it would be so much nicer than suffering alone. Street Legal and Sea Change have been the only two albums that have recieved any sort of heavy play. I cant really focus on anything right now, let alone the music. So it's all just background noise. I think i'm gonna try to get out of hte

more likely than not, i will make a mix of break up songs this weekend to help deal with all these feelings i am feeling. Single songs are also appreciated. Man. what a thing to deal with. To start the cd off right, i think i will go with Who Loves the Sun - Velvet Underground. I was listening to some wilco songs for a while, but wilco is a band we kind of discovered together or at least grew to love together. More accurately, i turned her onto wilco and dylan. and now i feel weird listening to them. i turned her on to a lot of the music i love. and now that music feels kinda dirty. so it

thanks guys. i appreciate the recomendations. thanks for the media fire The King. Here's to the start of a very shitty weekend!

Just got out of a 3 year relationship involuntarily and want to drown out the voices in my head with the collective pain of musicians who have been there before me... so far my break up album library includes: Beck - Sea Change Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks Ryan Adams - Heart Breaker what am i missing VC?

Hey Folks. Love your work. Long time lurker, very freequent poster. I love Wilco. I love the omnipotent Grateful Dead. I love phish. Don't care for too many jam bands. That being said, Wilco sounds nothing like the GD, and comparing Nels (tone, style, anything) to Jerry is just silly. The band that sounds most like the GD right now, excluding DSO, is Ryan Adams and the Cardinals. Durring some of the longer extended jams in Easy Plateau or Mockingbird, i often find myself comparing the guitar work to Jerry. Absolutley amazing current music. Thanks for your time.

is the theatre in the first pic the one they used in life aquatic? i think so... man, i'd really like to make this happen. thanks for the replies everyone!

Hello there fanners. Long time lurker, first time poster. Hope all is well on your end. After seeing the eurpean dates announced, i was wondering - Who has seen wilco overseas? Where was the show? How was it? Was it very different from shows in the states? My gf and i are considereing planning a european vaction around a few of the dates. Thanks for your time and have a great day!
