Add Nada Surf to the thread.

Imagine that an Eastern European scientist invents "the nineties propulsor". For a great deal of money (like what millionaires pay today for space trips departing from Baikonur cosmodrome) you could travel back in time to any day of the nineties you wish. The device puts you in bed, any day of that decade, sets a clock alarm at six, and gives you a 24 hour period of nineties. You must return to bed by 5:59 the next morning, otherwise the mechanism (not fully developed yet) may take you instead to the 1890s, 1790s, 1690s, and so on, getting stuck in an endless time warp. So you wake up th

I found the Kinks thread! The only band from the sixties, apart from the Byrds, that matter to me. Recently, there was a documentary airing on public television, about the band and its success in both continents.

I swear twenty years ago when I read a biography of Gadafi his name was spelled "Khadafi" and the mainstream media used a K instead of a G... what could have happened in twenty years that the spelling was altered? Anyway, there are over 112 different ways to spell Muammar el Khadafi, according to ABC, the topic was raised in 2009: http://abcnews.go.co...-spell-gaddafi/ About the political event, I'm reserving my opinion of it.

"The Whole Love" is album of the day on the webportal efeeme.com (in Spanish): http://www.efeeme.co...-del-dia-wilco/ Reviewer Julio Valdeon Blanco says that the 12 minutes of One Sunday Morning remind him of Palace Brothers (Will Oldham)

I have listened to this twice, it really is a great track. A few remarks though, * It is reminiscent of "Marlon Brando" and "On the fly". I just can't stop thinking of the song Marlon Brando when I listen to this. * The guitar in the background keeps reminding me of another R.E.M. song, which I can't figure right now what it is, I guess I'll find it later. * This song is so much better than UBerlin. Had this song been included in Collapse into Now, my impressions of that album would have been completely different, oscilating from disapproval to praise. * Last but not least, this is

I'm sure there have always been protests and demonstrations since the beginning of history, but I feel that nothing ever was the same, after the WTO Seattle protests of 1999. It's probably because the event is fresh in my memory, or probably because it marked my generation, I somehow feel like that event changed everything, as if today's demonstrations had their root in those particular events. I may be wrong, but that's how I feel.

Not exactly a Wilco article, but there's a reference to the band in yesterday's Faro de Vigo. Journalist David Garcia has interviewed another Chicago group, the Steepwater Band. An excerpt from this interview: http://www.farodevig...ndo/588278.html

Winding Refn is an extraordinary director. I'd recommend everything he has directed, specially Pusher. I am eager to see Drive, although theaters in my country surely won't screen this, so I have to wait for the DVD release.

On most occassions High & Dry is my favourite song from The Bends but Fake Plastic Trees comes a close second.

I'll start this with a report that appears today in La Voz de Galicia, a newspaper from Galicia, a Spanish province in the North-Western corner of the country with access to the Atlantic Ocean. The article is signed by journalist Jorge Lamas and is titled: "Wilco to present in Vigo its new album: The Whole Love". The article says that both Wilco concerts in Madrid and Barcelona are sold out. Wilco's Spanish tour commences in November. http://www.lavozdega...10G13P36992.htm

About a year ago Billy Bragg mentioned the possibility of doing Mermaid Avenue 3, to coincide with Woodie Guthrie's centenary in 2012. According to Bragg: "There's another 12 tracks that you haven't heard yet. We're trying to get them out for Woody's centenary in 2012." See: http://www.spinner.c...bum-with-wilco/
