Wilco songs they play that you don't want them to
a-me-with-a-you replied to lamradio's topic in Just A Fan
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 -
Wilco songs they dont play that you want them to.

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. -

Found this one recently -
Do you read any Blogs regularly?
a-me-with-a-you replied to kidsmoke's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
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) -

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.

Survey: top 20 saddest songs of all time

I have some old favorites but of my recent favorites, this Girls song top the list http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIrjFnnit5A -
Just finished this 79-page whopper. Just as enigmatic as you'd expect. Got this for Christmas/New Year's.

Singers who also act. (You knew it was coming sometime!)
a-me-with-a-you replied to PopTodd's topic in Someone Else's Song
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. -
This! (more or less)

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?
-
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

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
-
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

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

The Fireplace Poker is -despite it's length- remarkably replayable and still one of the songs that defines new discoveries in 2011 for me...
-
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...
-
Great choice. I also really like this part: A sleepy kisser A pretty war
-
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

Me too and I've never been to a baseball game, how weird is that?!
-
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)
