  1. it really is like trying to figure out which one of your children you love more, isn't it? After the Goldrush (on headphones) got me through some tough times and will always be my favorite!
  2. thanks for the second track summerfoxtrot! If this leaks someone please let me know!
  3. fantastic band. can't wait for the new album... as for dover, i couldn't disagree more.

    hey vc vets!

    Louis B... If I'm the one "who couldn't get into am" I think you need to re-read my post... e
  5. i think either way is the perfect album opener...and the best song on the album...for now. e

    hey vc vets!

    i haven't been around these parts as long as many of the folks but I am a "carry over" fan from the uncle tupelo days (i.e. old). it seems like every record jeff has ever put out has been polarizing to the fan base. it took me forever to get into wilco, and i mean years. a.m. was such a rushed, sophmoric effort when it was released (especially when compared to trace). however, it provided a great bassline for me to look back upon when masterpieces like being there, summerteeth and yhf started sinkin' in. to watch tweedy develop as a front man and songwriter has been simply amazing. s
  7. I've spun the record at least 15 times and I still am going to run out on the 15th to buy it. I get to be excited twice!
  8. Summerteeth is tops here too.
  9. sadly, i missed the stream and have only heard the four "advance" tracks. a pm would be much appreciated and rest assured, i will buy the album the day it's released. e EDIT: Got it! Thank you LC.
  10. While Ghost is far from my favorite album, it certainly doesn't suck...at all.

    SXSW 2007

    Tips: Wear really, really comfortable shoes. Bring ear plugs. Plan your day ahead of time. Have a back up show ready. Experiment, don't just see shows of bands you're familar... most bands play several showcases and not just the "official" sxsw one. meet people, share info, and you'll get to see the band you're after... I've always done the badge but it seems getting into shows isn't a problem. I went about 90 mins early for arctic monkeys and flaming lips and walked right in... Longest line I stood in was for Hot Chip. Wear really, really comfortable shoes. See you the
  13. This is one adventurous romp! Anyone else spinnin' this? So good. The cover art is strong too... though I'm not sure it fits the album's vibe that much. Does their first album compare? If memory serves they'll be at SxSW so I look forward to seeing them. Any reports on their live show? Just curious.
  14. 79 in Scottdale, Ariz. with projected 81 for tomorrow. brrr.
  15. Alligator was my favorite record of 2005. Saw them with Clap Your Hands and they literally stole the show. Great band.
  16. It's good to see Tweedy looking so healthy.
  17. I have the one with Wilco in it. I think it's pretty good. Some of the bands are better than others but the concept and execution is pretty good. track listing: Tracks: 1. The Lonesome Organist - Catching Flies With Teeth 2. Pit Er Pat - The Bog Man 3. Shellac - Steady as She Goes 4. The Ponys - Shadow Box 5. Wilco - Muzzle of Bees 6. Tight Phantomz - Ninja Talk 7. Freakwater - Jewel 8. Red Eyed Legends - Je M'Apelle Macho 9. Tortoise - Salt the Skies
  18. "In Rock" is a classic album IMO...
  19. i agree...best of the year through Oct., hands down.
  20. thx for the tips... off to buy "Welcome"....
  21. Long time lurker here hoping someone can help me out. I have a couple Daniel Johnston tracks on a compilation (Walking the Cow & True Love Will Find You In The End) and want to hear more. Where's the best place to start? Fun? thanks for any advice you can give.
  22. I agree with Halcyon. The album's decent but seems to fail after repeated listens. I really think there's no contest between it and Neko's latest. e
