NationalDust Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I got it as a Valentine's Day gift and it hasn't left the rotation on my CD player yet. If you haven't heard Loose Fur, you really should. Really really... it was the beginning of the Kotche saga (kotche as Wilco's drummer that is) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 yeah, I love Loose Fur. That album's amazing, their debut was very solid as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NationalDust Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 yeah, I love Loose Fur. That album's amazing, their debut was very solid as well. I own both, but Born Again In The USA is my favorite by far. Ruling Class..Doesn't get better than that! Well, maybe Hey Chicken..I think you get what I'm trying to say Does anyone else think maybe Hey Chicken was written about Bennett? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjpuczko Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 i listened to it twice, maybe three times. never could get into loose fur Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j4lackey Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 A kickass album!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scalzunfield Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I got it when it leaked a month or whatever before the album came out. The album still has not been opened because I wore myself out listening to it and still haven't felt any desire to go back to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 i listened to it twice, maybe three times. never could get into loose fur Yep, at least for the second album. I vaguely remember a song that kinda had a "Ballad of John and Yoko" vibe (a song I don't really like all that much) and a whistle solo. I also kinda remember thinking I'll be ok never hearing that song again. I actually kinda like a couple songs from the first Loose Fur album though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I own both, but Born Again In The USA is my favorite by far.Does anyone else think maybe Hey Chicken was written about Bennett?I like Hey Chicken, but when I first heard it my first thought was that it was about Farrar. I'm 99% sure it isn't--or about JB either--at least I hope to hell not, because that would just be kind of sad. But that thought colored my interpretation of the song for a long time. Overall, I like the s/t better than BAITUSA, largely because I don't care for O'Rourke's songs on the latter. There's something jokey about that record I don't totally like. Some good stuff on there too, tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I hope to hell not, because that would just be kind of sad.Yeah, sounds about right. I don't think it's about either Jay; as far as I'm concerned it's purely fictional.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 If the disc only had "Hey Chicken" and "Wreckroom", I'd pay 15 bucks for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kalle Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Wanted is a fantastic song, I like BAITUSA alot better than the S/T. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 ... it was the beginning of the Kotche saga (kotche as Wilco's drummer that is) What does that mean? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NationalDust Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 What does that mean? Loose Fur was, I mean, not BAITUSA. Jim O'Rourke introduced Kotche to Tweedy and the three of them started playing together and stuff and Jeff decided to trade Coomer out for Kotche. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I like BAITUSA alot better than the S/T.I agree, but like others in this thread, I've found the replay value to be pretty low. Still, BAITUSA > SBS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deepseacatfish Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Loose Fur is fantastic. That said, I generally prefer the first album, mostly because it sounds a little more consistent to me, but Born Again in the USA is fantastic too, I'm a big fan of "Apostolic" man that's a killer short track.

quarter23cd Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 FWIW, at the time I was kind of expecting Jeff's LF songs (ie, Pretty Sparks, Wreckroom, etc) to be kind of a hint at what of what the next Wilco record would sound like--fairly mellow, but also kind of spastic and proggy. I guess I was half-right. Put the best parts of the BAITUSA together with the best of SBS and you'd have a killer record. As it is, the two we got are both pretty good also.

TheMaker Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Anybody else really, really feel strongly that "Wanted" is Jeff's best song on BitUSA? I'm always saddened that nobody seems to have any love for it. Sniff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 That's my favorite song on the album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm always saddened that nobody seems to have any love for it. Sniff. I love the song very much. -- Especially his Baritone guitar part in that song. But I love the whole album though.

northern_comfort Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Born Again is a lot like SBS in the sense the you need to listen to it more than once. After my first listen I never touched it for another two months and thought I wasted all of my money. When I went back to listen to it I realized how good Wreckroom and Wanted are awesome...even the O'Rourke songs really started to grow on me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
