Yesterday marked:

 

6 Wilco studio albums

6 Current members

6 years without Jay Bennett

 

Fred Phelps DIED yesterday. Wrap your head around THAT!

 

Fred Phelps? Are you mixing up your wingnut religious nutjobs again? :P

 

I dislike the new album intensely - but I hate Fred Phelps more.

It's not that much more effort to type "I think" in front of a statement. No, I don't think you forgot to add it, instead you didn't feel like/don't care if there's a difference, and that's what bugs me.

 

But that's my opinion.

 

Seriously, though. Wilco sucks and I hate Jeff Tweedy. Nels Cline, Glenn Kotche, John Stirrat and those other two dudes are the worst musicians I have heard in a long time. I'm going to go listen to Fall Out Boy and wish that Jeff looked more like Pete WensztztastrtazxtrastrasdaZraasa. Blah blah fuckity.

While we're at it:

 

I wish gas would go back to costing $2.00 per gallon

I wish Tom Cruise would go back to making insignificant but kickass movies

I wish my metabolism was the same as it was when I was in college

I wish Seinfeld was still making new episodes

I wish SNL was still consistently funny and relevant

I wish "Reality TV" never made it past the Real World

I wish Joey had ended up with Dawson instead of Pacey and that Jen didn't have to die

I wish I had eaten more vegetables as a child

I wish I had learned to play more instruments as a child

I wish My So Called Life had been on television longer

I wish Star Wars Episodes I-III had been better

I wish the Matrix existed as an all-time great trilogy instead of just one great movie followed by mediocre to God-awful sequels

I wish I didn't have student loans I'm still paying off

I wish Jay

While Sky Blue Sky is growing on me, the way all new Wilco releases seem to do until I love them to death. I do miss Jay in the band. I have long since missed the atmosphere around the band in the late 90's and early 2000's. I am not trying to be a hater here. I do Love the creativity the new unit can display. I do think the lyrics from Jeff are a bit weak, but after reading some interviews with Jeff, I think he planned it that way. SBS is a good Wilco release, but I do see a steep decline in overall quality of the music, starting with AGIB. The live shows are indeed where I miss Jay the most. I used to love the feeling of anything can happen next at a Wilco show. Although the sound quality is great I miss the energy Jay brought to the table.

The legendary George Carlin once said

 

 

"I need this like I need an infected scrotum" meaning...

 

"Wilco needs Jay like they need an infected scrotum"

As long as we're having this argument, can I turn back the clock a few years and rant about how wussy I thought Summerteeth was when it came out? I wasn't a member of the board back then and totally missed out on that.

 

I think every Wilco record so far has been somebody's undeniable proof that the universe is going to hell in a handbasket.

 

That would be great, maybe i could buy a vinyl copy for less than $120 :realmad

 

PS I still think it is a bit on the wussy side, but love all the songs when I hear them live, solo or full band. Except "shot in the arm" little tired of that one, oh wait, this is not a thread to bitch about wilco.

btw, I'm listening to Uncle Tupelo now, and I'm going to submit a petition that both Jay (F) and Jeff not be such dickheaded dickheads and not break up Uncle Tupelo in the first place.

Oh, so you're one of THOSE fans, huh?
