RaspberryJam Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I'm going to Mt. Jam, so occasionally, I'll head over to their forum to see if there is any intel on scheduling or whatever. Boy, people hate Wilco and Beck. So much so, that they aren't going to Mt. Jam this year. So much so, they go onto a forum for a music festival that they aren't even going to, and bitch about it.

Post festival, I noticed some converts on the forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 if ONE band would make people skip an entire festival, there are two conclusions:1 - the festival really sucks.2 - the person has no rational decision making ability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magnetized Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 i think that Mountain Jam should book Sunn O))). And once again you've sent me to Google and Wikipedia, thereby expanding my surface knowledge of a genre I don't think I want to know any more about, thankyouverymuch! "The band's style is characterized by extremely slow tempos, heavily distorted guitars, avoidance of rhythm and melody, and alternate tunings. The guitars are notable for their low register, frequently utilising tunings as low as dropped A. Additionally, the band is known for using resonant feedback to create monolithic soundscapes and eerie atmospheres. Percussion is almost never incorporated, with a lack of any discernible beat. When performing live, the band wear robes, fill the air with fog, and play at an extremely high volume." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 i enjoyed a very nice evening w/ Sunn O))) a few years ago. i was afraid i was gonna miss their set, as i was coming from shooting Madonna at the Garden, and she had us shoot songs 7 and 8 or something weird like that. but Sunn O))) didn't get on until midnight, and played until close to 2AM. at the Coolidge Corner theater! i was amazed there was no noise complaint from the hoity-toity brookline residents. massive sound, tons of fog, a warm theater, a beer, a late night, and a comfy chair. i definitely dozed off for a few.

tinnitus photography Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 the other time i saw Sunn O))) was when they played with Boris and did their entire _Altar_ collaboration record as a performance. that was pretty awesome. it was like someone pulling the cover off the ark of the covenant...

Shug Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 What are the odds that Wilco will do a run of shows in Chicago this winter, maybe in December or January or February? If anybody hears anything, please let us know. My live Wilco drought continues and won't be abated with any of the shows announced thus far for 2016. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Further word from Jeff about new Wilco album this year, and another mention about a new Loose Fur project. And speaking of loose, Jeff was in a particularly garrulous mood, I thought. http://fasterlouder.junkee.com/wilcos-jeff-tweedy-anybody-that-thinks-about-dad-rock-as-a-critical-term-is-an-asshole/858505 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Sometimes asking questions that are likely to get a rise out of an interviewee works. I think maybe it did here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Informative interview. I can't believe the interviewer didn't follow up Jeff's "bullshit" on YHF somewhat. Would have loved to hear more on that. Also - Jeff's comment about Billy Corgan is out there. He doesn't usually jump into this kind of thing... "I worry about Billy. I think he seems like he’s maybe a little out of his mind." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 There was word about it years ago. I think it's been in cold storage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 The most interesting thing about this interview is that nearly every answer to every question starts with "no" or "not really" or some other expression that indicates that the interviewer is on the wrong track. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 That's true, I think the interviewer just keeps teeing up suppositions that Jeff finds annoying or problematic. Kind of the opposite of those interviews where Jeff gets philosophical about the nature of creativity thanks to a dialog supported by open-ended questions. I'm not sure if Jeff looks more cranky, or the interviewer looks more like a doofus. It's a little awkward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I like cranky, irascible Jeff, and I love this interview! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 He looks like a doofus I think. Jeff doesn't seem that cranky, but he does seem to not particularly agree with the way the questions are being asked. I think anymore most people answer no to questions even when they kind of mean yes; know what I mean? (No of course not.) I guess the Loose Fur album has to finally come out.
