Take your Favourite Artists

Hey Beck, you're not Mexican. You're as white as they come.

 

Spoon - Quit with the squatting down to fuck with your electronics. Yea Britt, that means YOU!

 

Bobby D - How about reducing the size of your venues? Everyone beyond 30 yards from the stage thinks you suck.

 

Meg - Could ya please get your ass back to work?

 

M Ward - Enough already with the odd posturing for photos, are you trying to look mysterious, or what? and while your at it, kick that doe to the curb and get back to a real tour (without Conor, please).

 

Roger Waters - When I saw that you lost your pig, I laughed.........aloud!!

 

 

damn, this is liberating

Wilco - AGIB was a major letdown

[Golden Smoghead]

Ryan Adams - everything you think is funny is actually not funny at all. seriously. all the way back to you screwing around at the end of whiskeytown tracks.

 

Wilco - I'm sorry, but that album cut of the Impossible Germany solo actually DOES sound kinda like the Weather Channel 7 on the 7s music.

 

Old Crow Medicine Show - the 1920s covers are better than your original songs, except for Wagon Wheel and that's 50% Bob Dylan's doing...

 

Eels - the "with strings" stuff lent credence to those who say you're all about studio production. They are wrong, but you gave them something to point to.

 

Steve Earle - do not let your wife sing on your songs

 

Bruce Springsteen - see above

 

Wussy - the songs the girl sings are way better than the songs the guy sings

 

Rilo Kiley - see above

 

Lucinda Williams - too much electric lately, darlin

 

Big Star - why did you let the self-indulgence overwhelm the brilliance? come on alex.

 

Counting Crows - see above

 

Emmylou - you come across best in duets

Wilco - AGIB was a major letdown

For some.

I'm pretty high on Wilco right now coming off the weekend, but here's some other bands stuff that I consider in my blessed trinity...

 

-Phish--Tweezer sucks, I wipe my ass with it.

Yes, most of your lyrics suck, I still enjoy them, but most of them suck.

 

--Grateful Dead-- Bob Weir (this includes Ratdog) cut out the Johnny B Goode, Little Red Rooster, 50's review shit. It's boring. Those songs have run their course and provide no excitement to the show. Everytime you come to St. Louis, it is not necessary to do a tribute to Johnny Johnson

Phil Lesh--Don't Sing..ever, not even Box of Rain. Oh, and keep your liver stories to your self.

[MattZ]

Dylan - Hey, Bob, ever notice how everybody else sings your stuff better than you do?

 

Ever notice how people that cover his songs cover the easy ones? You think someone could do a better job than him with Visions of Johana?

 

Not Dark Yet?

If You See Her, Say Hello?

Sad Eyed Lady?

It's Alright Ma?

etc?

 

No way. That's why people don't even bother.

 

(And I'd even argue that the standard covers that I assume you are referring to aren't better than Dylan's versions -- except Watchtower).

[PotKettleTug]

Ryan Adams--Gold is one of the worst albums I've ever spent money on. Next time I by an 80's-90's Elton John record I hope it is labled correctly.

You think someone could do a better job than him with Visions of Johana?

Yes, The Grateful Dead did (at least the '86 versions), IMO.

I pretty much agree with everything in this post.

Lee Ranaldo

[Guest Jules]

Wilco - Jeff, maybe you should just skip that think at the end of Too Far Apart.

[markosis]

Also, that live concert video you did at the Troubador in LA a few years back - it has a ton of close-up shots of Rhett. I was at that show and there wasn't a camera close enough to get those shots. Upon close inspection of the footage it's pretty clear that you re-filmed Rhett after the show to get that angle.

 

Crap-ass DVD, that.

[dagwave]

Barry Manilow- Do you really think that YOUR songs make the whole world sing?

 

Jakob Dylan, Nacy Sinatra, Frank Stallone and to a lesser well known extent, Richie Springsteen = nepotism

 

Kevin Bacon, Eddie Murphy, Billy Bob Thornton, and Matrix-Boy: Do not confuse "actor" with "musician"

 

Anthony, Flea, Henry Rollins, Dwight Yoakam, Jon Bon, Robbie Robertson, Elvis, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, etc....: Do not confuse "musician" with "actor"

 

Charles Schultz: Everything but the way the adults talked was not really that humorous.

 

Conor Oberst: Fer chrissake, tone done the self-important, sensitive singer songwriter schtick.

 

Jack Johnson: eat a wave, mellow boy, everybody knows Jimmy Buffets yer real dad

 

oh I could go , ummm, on and on, ...so to to speak....

[HungryHippo]

Rimbaud - you let that pussy Verlaine shoot you WTF??

 

[awatt]

Wilco. We're Just Friends. Need I say more?
