wheelco Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 This morning, while I was driving back from the fine town of Mt Vernon, OH, Colin Cowherd on ESPN radio was discussing some website's list of the best albums of "our age" -- and he finally says, "What's with this band Wilco and who are they?". His assistant chimes in that they are Alt-Country and he listens to them -- compares them to Emmy Lou Harris and Americana Roots music and then says, "Colin, remember that Son Volt song you liked- that's what it's like basically". Highly entertaining stuff!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jakobnicholas Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I'm a sports fan, and occassionally listen to sports talk to get the latest headlines. But I can rarely last more than 10 minutes. Most of the hosts are just so cornball....and you can tell instantly by the bumper music. I'll give an exception to Jim Rome. He's a HUGE Replacement's fan....and has had band members on before.

Chendizzle Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 He might like the Mats but for the most part, he is a gigantic idiot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tugmoose Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Jim Rome is a very angry guy. . . . as are many, many Mats fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I'm a Mats fan, and I resent that statement. You fuckin' dumb ass shit for brains mo-fo! Rome I can only take in small doses. His athlete interviews are insufferable....he tries to act all cool, like he's the athlete's best freind, but usually comes across as a kiss-ass jock sniffer. And his callers think they're equally cool...most of them make me turn the dial. But I do like hearing Rome's "takes". I think he's quite funny and clever and creative....definitely a smart-ass, but a funny smart-ass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouisvilleGreg Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Rome also plays the intro to "Boxcar" by Jawbreaker on occasion when coming back from commercials. I guess by saying that I'm admitting to listening quite often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcdowell Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I think it may be this list they were referencing... not bad!http://www.ugo.com/channels/music/features...s/top50/default.asp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spawn's dad Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 does any of that make any more sense in some sort of context? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Chris Evert was a helluva tennis player, much better at what she did than that QB was at what he did. He should have been honored to have been compared to her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spawn's dad Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 so some big football player dude got bent out of shape because some douche calls him by a girl's name? brilliant. we would greatly improve the genetics of mankind by putting all these guys down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clint Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) I'm a sports fan, and occassionally listen to sports talk to get the latest headlines. But I can rarely last more than 10 minutes. Most of the hosts are just so cornball....and you can tell instantly by the bumper music. very true. there's a sports station here in dallas called the ticket, and the afternoon show's return music includes wilco, the shins, flaming lips, built to spill, pearl jam, etc. as you may suspect, they are the complete opposite of cornball.
