Fred Phelps? Are you mixing up your wingnut religious nutjobs again? I dislike the new album intensely - but I hate Fred Phelps more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foolnrain97 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I think this thread sucks...but i'll re-read it a couple times in case i'm missing something. This one WILL grow on you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 This one WILL grow on you. 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 This is the best thread we've had in years. Thank god, I was about to start a petition to shut this place down because we are all, obviously, way past our creative peak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thisyearsgirl Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 While we're at it: I wish gas would go back to costing $2.00 per gallonI wish Tom Cruise would go back to making insignificant but kickass moviesI wish my metabolism was the same as it was when I was in collegeI wish Seinfeld was still making new episodesI wish SNL was still consistently funny and relevantI wish "Reality TV" never made it past the Real WorldI wish Joey had ended up with Dawson instead of Pacey and that Jen didn't have to dieI wish I had eaten more vegetables as a childI wish I had learned to play more instruments as a childI wish My So Called Life had been on television longerI wish Star Wars Episodes I-III had been betterI wish the Matrix existed as an all-time great trilogy instead of just one great movie followed by mediocre to God-awful sequelsI wish I didn't have student loans I'm still paying offI wish Jay Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phish907 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OCP003 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 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" p.s HUUUUUUUGE PROPS TO WHOMEVER QUOTED Skee-Lo's "I Wish". It's soooo on my Zune Player! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mchchef1 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 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 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
