  2. Hmm hard but let me think, mostly: Heavy Metal Drummer I guess I'm a little spiteful towards it, they closed with it last year's London gig instead of Misunderstood due to time restrictions... Songs I like live any day of the week like but would like to trade in for some other Wilco classics: ALTWYS IATTBYH IG
  3. Ooh, right at the very top of my list would be: Far, Far Away Hell is Chrome Country Disappeared Rising Red Lung I did finally get to hear Theologians and Black Moon last night so no complaints from me.
  4. Found some great covers on that recently, I browse a great deal of blogs here and there but this one's my oldest followee; http://www.fuelfriendsblog.com/ (aka until recently I Am Fuel, You Are Friends)
  5. Friday 2 March 2012 Wilco @Ancienne Belgique, Brusssels Saturday 3 March 2012 Wilco @Ancienne Belgique, Brusssels Sunday 11 March 2012 Emmy The Great @ Queen Elizabeth Hall, London Monday 19 March 2012 Laura Marling @Ancienne Belgique, Brusssels
  6. TSAITA (mouthful) stands up as something of a comeback album, They've gone back to the bass-lines of past albums Let Go and The Weight is a Gift with some success.
  7. I have some old favorites but of my recent favorites, this Girls song top the list http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIrjFnnit5A
  8. Just finished this 79-page whopper. Just as enigmatic as you'd expect. Got this for Christmas/New Year's.
  9. I liked Mos Def in Dexter and Henry Rollins in Sons of Anarchy, the first two examples that come to mind. Justin Timberlake was okay in The Social Network I guess.
  10. Here's a list by the well-respected ME-magazine to add a little change-of-pace from the top album lists to Someone Else's Song. Does anyone feel up to sharing what specific songs colored their past year?
  11. Little top ten I whipped up just now, first half critical darlings, second half playful: 01 Wilco - The Whole Love 02 The Decemberists - The King is Dead 03 Girls - Record 3: Father, Son, Holy Ghost 04 Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring For My Halo 05 Bill Callahan - Apocalypse 06 The Rural Alberta Advantage - Departing 07 Laura Marling - A Creature I Don't Know 08 Slow Club - Paradise 09 Emmy The Great - Virtue 10 Seapony - Go With Me
  12. Well, just so happens I'm listening to it now, it's really good but the songs are more (too?) straightforward than she's ever been, the lyrical genius picks up her pen only every other song (ordinary lyrics in keeping with the straightforward theme) and Rawling's background coloring seems a little uninspired at times. If it's any comfort, most critics disagree with me and I find the songs that I like to be quite close to brilliant. This almost goes without saying, but her vocals are once again out of this world, so nothing to worry about there. My favorites are the slow burners The Way It Will
  13. This might be a remainder of adolescent taste talking, but I really liked the new The Rural Alberta Advantage album (the piano additions were especially likeable), the ambitious new Slow Club and I'm very surprised not to see more mentions of Okkervil River's daring 2011 release. I was also charmed by the swampy new Timber Timbre and the return to form for Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks. I felt like 2011 was mainly the year of disappointing follow-ups for me including the new Blind Pilot, Emmy The Great and Woods (in terms of smaller indie artists) and the half-succesfull efforts by Wye Oak
  14. 01. Sunken Treasure 02. She's a Jar 03. Radio Cure 04. Muzzle of Bees 05. Black Moon 06. Ashes of American Flags 07. Pieholden Suite 08. Capitol City 09. I'm a Wheel 10. Theologians 11. Reservations 12. One Sunday Morning
  15. The Fireplace Poker is -despite it's length- remarkably replayable and still one of the songs that defines new discoveries in 2011 for me...
  16. Despite the steady quality decline since Let Go, they're still one of the top power pop bands out there and I'll be spinning this as soon as I get my paws on it...
  17. Great choice. I also really like this part: A sleepy kisser A pretty war
  18. A lot of great choices here, the first ones that popped to mind have been named already so I'll go with my fifth choice. This doesn't really count because it's a Guthrie lyric: Bitter tastes of twigs we chewed where tangled wood vines twine This does: In the beginning we closed our eyes Whenever we kissed We were surprised to Find so much inside
  19. The master mixes of WTA must've been really horrid then, if if was mixed by the same guy who did the great sounding Summerteeth and SBS. I guess he still loses out to the two best mastered records, YHF (2) and AGIB (1), but now I'm being hard on the geezer. Even the vinyl quality WTA hurts my ears.
  20. Me too and I've never been to a baseball game, how weird is that?!
  21. Sunloathe and Born Alone remain the only two songs that don't rock my socks off, what gives? Come to think of it, there've been two songs on every album since SBS that I didn't care for. (Everlasting Everything, Sonny Feeling, Walken, Shake It Off)
