That song sounds like a song for Army recruiters or a Tea Party rally.

Wilco - iTunes Session

The description makes me think of a Steve Earle album. I also wonder if this is a solo album, or tracks he did by himself and then added on parts by the band. Bruce Springsteen Returns With Wild New Album

I read somewhere that album was recorded all live in the studio. The thing about some of those songs is the fact that the arrangements seem to go south some times. I am thinking of Hear About It Later - it's grooving along, and then there is that terrible breakdown part towards the end.

Well, the magazine is a far cry from what it use to be. I'd say what Nels really pointed out is the lack of research that goes into such articles these days. Or at least, the lack of fact checking. I often notice things like that in music articles these days. I never read Rolling Stone for political stuff. I read it for the music news, and the long interviews with muscians.

Bruce Springsteen's New Album: His 'Angriest' Yet

The album is already finished. Check the Jay Farrar thread in the Someone Else's Song section.

A new Neil post: At The Gate Of The Year I wish he would do a daily blog type of deal.

I'll take Quadrophenia over YHF any day. But, that's because I love The Who and Quadrophenia is one of my favorite albums. I have not bought the box though - can't afford it. I hope to get it someday. I suppose all the Wilco albums will get the De-Luxe treatment someday. That is one of the ways record companies keep the cd alive. I don't really see Jeff sitting around plotting how to re-release old albums though. At least not when they just released a brand new album.

At first I thought maybe it was a Firefox foul-up, but the spellcheck works in other places - just not here. Also - as some people mentioned in that other thread, the log-in does not seem to work sometimes. For me - it works at work, but not at home. I have to open the sign-in as a new tab in order to log-in.

I don't know if this is related, but today I noticied the Firefox spellcheck thing no longer works here.

I like what Chris does. And I agree - Rich's vocals have improved. Maybe they could get Trigger Hippy, and whatever band Sven Pipien is in, and do a tour all together. Ha ha ha.

It was on during the 1993-1994 season. I'd say Jay's take on the Woody songs is going to be pretty different than the Wilco/Bragg albums.

I know some of the popular songs - that's about it. He's just someone I never got into really. I did, however, use to watch the show The Byrds of Paradise.

I see. You would think he could get whatever Crowes fans there were over there to come to shows.

Several bands do that these days. But - I don't really get people wanting such things, when there are hundreds of AUD tapes out there to be had. And occassionally, a SBD show appears. The same with all demo tracks that people always seem to want - they are out there already. Maybe it's due to the fact that I spend so much time with these things - that I don't get wanting live stuff that you have to buy. I don't mind buying some re-master of some old band I am into, but for Wilco to start putting out such things would seem weird.

I saw this on Billboard.com this morning: John Fogerty on New TV Gig, Next Album, & CCR's Deep Rift

Speaking of those days, they really screwed Michael Anthony over good. I was reading some stuff about that the other day.

That is true. I think there were reports from the last tour that just like Ozzy, some of his vocals were not exactly live.

I never thought he was much of a singer to begin with - a great front man, a great showman, but not so great of a singer. I am surprised he has not ended up with some sort of reality show. He would be a natural for that sort of thing.

The album is made up of old songs and ideas they worked on back in the day. (Look up She's The Woman - from 1976)

I would think that is David Lee Roth's idea. Last night, I was thinking about all the shit he wrote about Eddie and Alex in his book. I guess they must have had some long talks to work through all that hatred a few years ago.

At least they are still rocking - at least somewhat.

It's ok. I am surprised they didn't go with She's The Woman though.

I think much like Ozzy, Dave may not be able to cut it live anymore. I guess the new album is made up of old songs from thier early days that they never put on any albums. Still - it's cool to see a real rock band out there. My first thought was - the music sounds like the Sammy Hagar era, and the words make me think of a David Lee Roth solo album.
