The Juan MacLean - Everybody Get Close

Yeah, I can't read. Nevermind. I'm totally wrong. In fact, that sentence means absolutely nothing. My mistake.

Lou Reed and Metallica - Lulu Ugh, what a quagmire.

Most of Wilco's catalogue traverse mid-tempo rock. Even Tweedy proudly declares it in several concerts. What the writer is saying is that Feist and Wilco don't bring extremes to the forefront. It's not like Feist nor Wilco made a metal or disco album titled Wilco II: Electric Boogaloo. We have yet to see Wilco stray so far away from rock or country. They are firmly in place. They're somewhat mid-tempo and approachable. If anything, this article is trying to dispel the "meh" and "dull" tags from this mid-tempo country. What that means: go read it again.

Pat loves Dungen enough to wear their shirt! It's good to know someone in Wilco loves Dungen.

Also, which one of us is analogous to Ice-T? I don't know anyone in here that constantly exclaims "That's messed up!"

M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming

This World: Spain's Stolen Babies, a new BBC documentary, claims the Catholic Church stole up to 300,000 Spanish Infants over a fifty year period, and sold through illicit adoption services. ~via MeFi While I'm sure this has happened elsewhere, but I've never read about this on such a huge scale. Hooray for Statue Of Limitations.

Wait, so, who's our version of Jerry Orbach and when is our version of Mariska Hargitay taking a maternal leave?

Wilco's Monday heard on Sunday Night Football. o.0 Then again, NBC doesn't get Monday.

Real Estate - Days The Field - Looping State Of Mind

Review: critics, snobs, and even Wilco fans criminally underrate The Lonely 1.

No. That's exactly the opposite of what we're doing in this thread. We can't naturally assume there's some sort of general consensus that everyone agrees. The last thing we want to do here is to intimidate a neophyte or a newcomer to the board. That album is Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures. It's a superb album.

Future Islands - On The Water Radiohead - TKOL RMX 1234567

James Blake - Enough Thunder [EP] I think this is exactly the music I needed for this weekend.

I'm starting to miss this album a little bit more than I thought I would after seeing that puppy face album cover... Don't judge me! Björk - Biophilia

Zola Jesus - Conatus DJ Shadow - The Less You Know, The Better Wow, it is difficult to find a good image of this album cover.

Reminds me of Monday and Hoodoo Voodoo. But my favorite moment is at the end of the second chorus where Jeff lets out that ferocious bark.

I keep getting the normal splash front page, not the stream. I gave them my email too.

I'm still assured that any reviewer calling One Sunday Morning snoozy and or boring are just looking forward to the next Jonas Brothers or Miley Cyrus album. They're allowed to like them: they're just not allowed to have a qualified opinion.

It just seems like a mess of a collection to soundtrack the movie. There's the live stuff and demo stuff placed against one another, and it's not like any of it is awful: just that as a whole, it doesn't feel right. Even as a Pearl Jam fan, the entire thing feels like a giant incohesive mess. Keep in mind I still haven't seen the documentary yet.

Pitchfork likened Capitol City to Hoagy Carmichael's music and I can see it. I've also had several friends say it reminds them immediately of The Beatle's When I'm Sixty Four and For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite. I think that this song is one of the strongest maneuvers Wilco has made, even more so than placing Art Of Almost on The Whole Love. Not only does the nostalgic show-tunes/carnival quality bleed through beautifully, but the schizophrenic mind-changing attitude comes through too. The song plays wonderfully on the contrast of the words and the music.
