"Above The Earth, Below The Sky"-If These Trees Could Talk

I swear...I'm gonna wear out the new National record....incredible.

I absolutely love this record...

well, I have to say that I was rather suspicious when she said she knew a few Son Volt and Jay Farrar tunes but had never heard of "this Wilco person or whatever".

"Control"-Pedro The Lion

...don't be happy for me just yet. She's probably only after me for my Wilco CD and DVD collection.

True story...."One Wing" is playing at the grocery store this afternoon...I'm humming a little bit and this chick asks me who it is. Naturally, I proceed to tell her briefly about the band and before you know it, we're having coffee next door and plan on meeting again this weekend. ...I thought this shit only happened in movies. Thanks, Wilco.

Vanda and Young's genius struck the late 70's and was overlooked and extremely underappreciated....Flash and the Pan's first two albums.. S/T and "Lights In The Night" are responsible for my love of indie music...probably unlike anything you've ever heard before...

"We Appreciate You"- The Plastic Constellations

I'll be there....can't wait. A few of us are taking off work early and heading down to Waxy O'Connor's for some food and a few beers before the show.

kinda surprised that "Communique" hasn't been mentioned...the first half of this record is probably their best stuff....at least in my opinion anyway.
