DARK NEON ANYONE?


Recommended Posts

It's a decent enough song, but I'm glad it wasn't on the album.

 

It's a lot like Let's Not Get Carried Away for me. I enjoy both songs, but couldn't imagine them on an album.

 

 

I've finally been able to hear Dark Neon. And I agree with this.

 

I like the spontaneous feel of it, but that's about all that I like about it. I don't think it would have helped W(TA).

Great Tweedy vocals. I've made no effort to understand what's going on in the song, but enjoy every trip thru it. I agree that (ta) would be stronger with its addition, although I can see why they left it off. Its vibe is SO similar to BBN, at least to my ears. Not that an entire album of BBN's wouldn't be kind of cool.

Any chance that they would ever play this live? I hope so..

 

 

Played it in Berkeley this year.

 

That being said the studio cut seems like Jeff's really trying hard to croon. I don't know. This whole album seems stressed, as if a facsimile of wilco albums past have droned into a strokes style tiny progression of same chords. To me it's spiders with edgier (trying too hard to be edgy!) lyrics.

I believe you are mistaken... Dark Neon was definitely not played there, and I don't believe it has been played live at all (just checked Wilco base)

As ridiculous as they may come across, I think Dark Neon contains some of the wildest lyrics Tweedy's written. This song's all fucked up and I love it.

 

I was beating up babies, babies I mean. They don't look like babies, but they're babies to me...
