yankhotelfox Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 My vote is for: "I am an American Aquarium Drinker, I assassin down the avenue" (and basically all the lyrics to IATTBYH) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yankhotelfox Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 They never play it live! Wait ... At least not since 11-10-04. Eventually they just must play it again, along with Kamera, Spiders....any others you folks been jonesin' for? I heard they've only played Heavy Metal Drummer like 3 times, then I heard something different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

napoleon Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I attack with love, pure bug beautyI curl my lips and crawl up to you i've always thought "i've been puking" was such a weird line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
you ever seen a ghost? Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 i've always thought "i've been puking" was such a weird line. unless you watch I Am Trying To Break Your Heart. -justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yankhotelfox Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Every time I play it for some one new to Wilco.......Iget variations to that "look" -Robert. Ya know Robert, some folks just don't understand. But, fortunately, some folks do. For instance, my girlfriend likes most of their stuff, especially the poppier stuff. She dislikes the "meaningless noise" e.g. the 'nothings' at Misunderstood's coda and the feedback midway through Via Chicago. My guess is that she wouldn't like Less Than You Think. I wouldn't know b/c I skip it when we listen to AGIB together. Different strokes, you dig? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
virtualreason Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I'll just go with all of IATTBYH and Via Chicago. Two great songs, but just strange lyrics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
you ever seen a ghost? Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 strange lyrics are often the best. i say that b/c i'm a huge Dylan fan too, i guess. -justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris_H_2 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 That makes perfect sense. He's a bug. More specifically, a bumblebee ("late afternoon, and I've been puking."). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkstar Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 More specifically, a bumblebee ("late afternoon, and I've been puking."). Love that line. I work for a big giganto-corporation and as I leave work everyday (in the late afternoon) I can relate to that........ feel like puking most days Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redeyedandblue Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Like a cloud his fingers explodeOn the typewriter ribbonthe shadow grows I've always loved the way those words sounded together. What they mean, I have no idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites
