Who Let the Dog's Out? - no idea who did this one

I passed on seeing the Kinks on their two last tours. At the time I really only knew "You Really Got Me" and "Tired of Waiting", and although I liked those songs they weren't an important band to me. I still kick myself for missing them, though.

It sucks that a lot of people are going to lose their jobs over this, but aside form that I really don't care that Border's is closing stores and will probably soon be gone entirely. They've gone so far downhill, and so fast, that it's almost shocking. Borders used to be a pleasant place to shop/browse/spend time. It has turned into a place that flaunt its inability to attract my business.

I hope the suicide helpline is going to be fully staffed that night. What a massive bummer of an album.

And Do You Love Me Now? - - the Breeders

So What'cha Want? - Beastie Boys

True. Who Are the Brain Police? being another.

Mommy, What's a Funkadelic? - - Funkadelic

Wouldn't it be Nice? - Beach Boys Didja Get any Onya? - Zappa/Mothers

Mommy, Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight? - - Misfits

I sort of feel the same way. I listened to this this morning in the car. All the songs are at least a minute too long, and there are too many songs. A few of the songs feel like exact replicas of other songs on the album. If they had cut three songs, and made all the songs shorter, this may have been a fantastic album.

Did he get lyposuction on his lips?

My mother in law has a trip booked to Egypt in April. She swears everything will be cool by then.

My thoughts exactly.

What website? Via Chicago?

Tweedy's a murderer?

It's a IKEA couch. Too much risk of breakage if they try to move it.

The next Wilco album could probaly benefit from a few random kid screams and dog barks.

When AM was new, one of my coworkers put it on the mix in the restaurant where I worked. It stayed in the mix for months. I really liked those songs, and if it weren't for hearing them in that context, there's a very good chance that Wilco would be just another Radiohead, or something, to me. A band that is supposed to be really good, and who has a few songs I know and like, but that I've never given serious consideration.

WTA is the only album in Wilco's catalog, other than perhaps AM, that feels to me like an album some other band could have put out. To me, that's what makes it their weakest album.

Definitely has potential.

I predict bands will startt making videos again just so they can get made fun of by Beavis & Butthead.

That is a masterpiece.

We need them now more than ever.

I'd rather err on the side of caution than be hardheaded on the side of carelessness.
