Do you like Wilco?

what a fucking awful band

Hahahaha I thought you were a Wilco stan ksh? Or are you dropping your April Fools a day late?

yeah Glenn Kotche, Nels Cline, and Pat Sansone are "awful"

rip ksh

jon: just a lil' trolling :-)

jeff tweedy all staring at his computer, a single tear on his cheek

all writin a concept album about a man, walking alone down the KS Highway

*jagged guitar solo*

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was the peak for experimental rock music

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot: pee-pee in modern music

my life would have been so much more worthwhile if YHF had beat Kid A in P4k's decade poll

I like the chorus of one of their new(er) songs - "I don't care anymore". It's a good lesson for some people as well

"You Never Know"

from last year's Wilco (the album)

the "George Harrison" song

Eh, Wilco is up there with George Harrison solo for me. I don't listen to much of either but comparing a top 10 songs for both artists would put them on the same level for me. Who came first is unimportant

think Stormy was just pointing out that a lot of critics were calling "You Never Know" Wilco's aping G.H. song

yeah I LOVE "You Never Know". but they were obviously being a little cheeky with it

no one under 30 in that picture

the audience at a Wilco show ranges from, like, 10 to 60. but, yeah, a large part of the audience is probably late twenties to late thirties.

unlike, say, Dirty Projectors, where the entire audience seemed to be 18-20 year olds

no one under 30 in that band

no one under 30 in this thread

Who cares? Dad-rock is awesome.

They're one of my favorite bands who will never change my life or anyone else's. They're the band that comes up to you out of nowhere and says, "Hey there. I've been thinking that I might want to rock your world. But then again maybe not. But maybe I do. Let me think about it some more. I'll go mow my lawn and come back to you. Wait for me." It's a sloppy, reticent, undeservedly cocky and more than a little silly approach that explains why a lot people think they're boring and why I think they're cute. The rhythm section seems to take perverse pride in its anonymity, but they put a lot of pretty jangly noises up front, and I like pretty jangly noises. They're not purists in the production booth, both a pretty good thing (YHF)and pretty bad thing (A Ghost is Born). I like the songwriting. I like how Tweedy hangs lines together, how he evokes a world of angst filled patio bar-b-ques and convenience store dandies and bullshit sidewalk philosophers who are slightly too hip for their aluminum siding but not by much. It's a little condescending, but it can't afford to be too condescending. And from their last album, I really liked "Bull Black Nova," which might be the best thing they've ever done, and probably ever will do and to which nothing I wrote above applies.

I want tyler's images to pop up as auto-signatures whenever i post; mods help pls?

you know, mainly richard bishop and vetiver, but it might be fun.

That sounds like fun. mass moca is a beautiful place.

sounds like a blast tbh. would go if i still lived in boston.

Google Maps sez 3 hour drive from where I live in MA

but, yeah, if you live closer, go, for obvious reasons

even regardless of the lineup, i wish there were more festivals like this (ie not in a giant fucking field, with the sun frying your skin).

i looooovvvvveeeee wilco. and i don't even love "dad rock," as a rule.

i was just saying to my wife it was a bummer that we missed the recent wilco concert in south florida. i spotted it just after we bought tickets for rodrigo y gabriella, who were playing the night before at the same venue. now regret not seeing both.

as much as I don't love Wilco's last two studio records, I fuckin adore them live. i've seen them three times in the past six years and it was never not worth it

oh btw i loooooooovvvvvveeeeee sky blue sky, still.

especially on hot summer days.

hahahaha, I'm glad you do! sincerely!

I saw Wilco in a minor league baseball stadium last summer and it was glorious

yeah, i should go see them again -- haven't been to a show since the YHF tour (tho I did see a Tweedy solo show). From all accounts (and that live album) they're pretty great these days.

oh yeah, i've ONLY seen them with the current lineup, and it's just fuckin insane -- like, really, just go :-D

scott, if you have enuff beer to drink i bet at least two or three of those comedians will be funny.

Wilco (The Album) is one of the most disappointing albums I've ever experienced. There's just so little spark going on, it's painful. Especially when you play Summerteeth right after.

interactive drumheads? OMG i am SO there.

nels cline is a monster but i've never seen him w/wilco

i saw the original lineup they were great

i still don't own a ghost is born i need to correct that
