Besides Wilco, anybody know of any other semi-modern bands (1990-present) who are self proclaimed Television fans, and the influence is obvious? Seems like they don't get name dropped by many of todays bands nearly as much as The Ramones, or Talking Heads or other bands of that scene do.

Levon. Moon. Charlie Watts. Glenn. Topper. Grohl.

My husband is currently obsessed...again.

In fact, we're planning to watch Color Me Obsessed (which is now available on iTunes) tonight.

It's very well done. I was impressed. Tons of great stories. Enjoy!

I actually havent heard SFS yet. Which is embarreseing because I call myself a diehard fan.

Just you wait till Tweedy goes all "c'mon kids you're acting like children" on us again.

I've always liked that line. So Westerberg.

Heroes and Ziggy. I'm a big Bowie fan and am pleased with the new record. Check it out if you haven't already!

Nor do I, I just mean if you were to take one out, listen to it for a period, and then put it back in. It showcases the mix of the album. I can really be done with any album in stereo, but I specifically like it with ST. It's probably the combination or piano, organ, and mellotron all being presented on most tracks.

For some reason, I sometimes feel totally overwhelmed by ST on headphones -- too much happening, like I'm over-saturated in sound. Or buried in sound...

 

Maybe I need better headphones. AGIB just sounds warm and intimate to me, more so than any other.

I do see how some aspects of Summerteeth can be overwhelming, but something I love about it with headphones, is the stereo mix. The use of panning. If you have just one headphone in, you can put the other one in and hear the track transform into a completely new entity. A lot like the White Album like I mentioned.

I am in the minority, as I like Summerteeth best. Very Beatlesesque. The others are too dry and claustrophobic for my taste.

Can't argue with that. I find new things with every listen on ST. Especially on tracks like PS and ELT. Very much like the White Album or MMT from the Beatles. The mix is perfect.

I never get tired of this one, I really don't.

Same here. I prefer Reckoning, and I still think Murmer is perfect.

My band usually records completely live, or a scratch guitar to a click track, then drums to that guitar, then delete the scratch, and do all guitars including bass, live together, then other instruments separate, then vocals. As far as Wilco, AGIB and TWL are the best sounding to my ears.

The Wilco Book.

Yeah, I should really get my hands on that haha. Damn.

Ahh I see. Ghost was really recorded mostly live? That surprises me. If anyone knows anything else about Ghost's recording process, please share! I'd love to know the story behind that. Any interviews would be helpful as well! The "written on protools-converted to studio" story is interesting.

Anybody know the album-by-album recording process? Live in the stuido? Track by track? Steady mix of both? Obviously there are overdubs and things, but i'm curious as to which albums they decided to do which way. Which method do you prefer? Why do you think they wanted to switch it up? I'm pretty confident both A.M. and BT were live for the most part, and Summerteeth and AGIB were tracked individually...the film IATTBYH indicates that Yankee was live for the most part, but i'm not for sure.

Listening to it now. Loving it. Structured perfectly, great melodies, guitar layering is on point. Not surprised at all at the Smiths-esque vibe about it.....it is the guy who originally created that sound. Could be the best release of the year.

Awesome. There is a video you can find on YouTube called Nels Cline Rig Rundown...Nels explains his entire rig..guitars, amps, pedals, etc..very, very interesting if you have an hour or so.

Been thinking about Joe a lot today. One of the purest souls ever. I know its a random post, I just thought I'd share. Rest in peace.

Obviously I didn't take the picture. All rights to photographer.

Seeing Bob, Saturday. Can't wait!
