If the journalism thing goes south, I bet I could make a few buckses impersonating Aleister Crowley and Benjamin Franklin.

I agree with the Steely Dan in Shake It Off

 

 

Does anyone hear One The Beach era Neil Young anywhere? I can hear some Ambulance Blues/Motion Pictures in Sky Blue Sky and Please Be Patient With Me, not only in song style but in production as well.

For some reason the beginning of "Shake It Off" reminds me of "Retreat" from Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime - I think it's the phrasing of the vocs.

 

Double Nickels also has a song titled Please Don't Be Gentle With Me - coincidence?

I was playing it for my fiancee (who knows Wilco through YHF) over the weekend and she said she thought

it sounded like Don Henley and the Eagles.

"Those are fighting words," Tweedy told Spinner during their Sessions taping in New York last week. "Even though it's stated in a positive manner, it seems so wildly off the mark. Did they actually listen to the record?"

"Did they listen to the Eagles?" Stirratt added.

 

"At the same time, it is absolutely a truthful statement," Tweedy conceded cheekily. "It's definitely a record that the Eagles didn't put out. So is 'London Calling.'"

Very interesting. I hadn't said anything to her about any reviews or comparisons, so I thought it was interesting she made the Eagles comparison since that it is the one that seems to be rankling the most muffins around here (including now Jeff and John's apparently).

 

I think it started with her saying Jeff's voice sounded like Don Henley's...(and yes, she has listened to the Eagles.)

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I do have a realization to share....

 

Jeff does sound a bit like Don Henley in Hate it Hear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

:mellow
