what in the hell was that?

Huh? I thought that you were a major Wilco fan. Read the thread title.

i think it was a bit too Son Volt-y, actually, for my tastes.

Ha ha! Is that not arguably the biggest piece of shit ever? What on Earth? I was fucked up in the early '80s but what was with the British youth?

There is a certain smarmy smugness that some of you guys exude.

 

We pound new posters mercilessly around here.

smarm·y pron.jpg (smärprime.gifmemacr.gif) KEY

 

ADJECTIVE:

smarm·i·er, smarm·i·est

  1. Hypocritically, complacently, or effusively earnest; unctuous. See Synonyms at unctuous.
  2. Sleek

Smug (smubreve.gifg)

 

adj. smug·ger, smug·gest Exhibiting or feeling great or offensive satisfaction with oneself or with one's situation; self-righteously complacent: "the smug look of a toad breakfasting on fat marsh flies" (William Pearson).

 

I don't think I've ever seen the combination of smarmy and smugness in a sentence before so I was curious about redundancy, but I love the example smug sentence by William Pearson. It was worth the quick search.cheers.gif

 

This board is not easy to be casual on, but welcome rpmurphy, although I have way too few posts to be on the official welcoming committee.

 

I'd suggest checking out Calexico, the Minus 5 (previously suggested), Iron and Wine, and Robyn Hitchcock if you like Wilco.

I wasn't being smarmy or smug. I just wanted to share that video. No one would think that it has any relationship to Wilco unless you focus on the bad dreads.

thanks for the recommendation. Really liking this one. Can't recall ever hearing of these guys.

 

Yeah, they're a bit under the radar. I listened to it today and forgot how sad it was (in a good way, kind of like Sea Change or Blood on the Tracks.)

After checking out Dolorean based on Beltmann's recommendation (brilliant), I feel like a smarmy ass for my post. So here's a serious recommendation in case the person who started this thread hasn't heard of Old 97s. Buy Too Far to Care, Fight Songs, and Satellite Rides right now. The Live one is a good one too.

Like Paul Simon's Graceland performed by east coast preppies, but I like it. I'm pretty sure Jules does not, though

 

It's not always easy to distinguish sarcasm from sincerity on this thread, is it?

I always think of the National. A guy I never met in my life heard me cranking a Wilco album in a parking lot and ran up to me and gave me a CD by the national. He said if you like Wilco you will like the National. Of course I do like the National.

Yes to Dolorean and the Old 97's. I've heard the Old 97's quite a bit on Pandora, and really like them, but the recommendation for Dolorean was a pretty good one and a welcome discovery.
