RIP Wilco

first track of that album is pretty much the best thing they ever did, along with 'poor places', 'handshake drugs' and 'less than you think'
maybe 'muzzle of bees' too if I'm feeling generous

that started promisingly but it was actually a spotify ad for phil collins's album of 60s covers

all of the electronic-y, semi-interesting non-guitar bits on this record are just kind of pasted on unconvincingly

it's 'pleasant enough' and i wouldn't mind/notice it in a social setting, but fourth best album of the decade?

I Am Trying To Break Your Heart is their staggering career pinnacle. The rest s just nice, occasionally really, really wel put together. Best thing about YHF is Jim O'Rourke.

PP and PKB are the 2nd and 3rd best songs on it, aye. There are no "bad" songs on YHF, though; just nothing else, anywhere in their canon, like IATTBYH.

T/S: Wilco "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" vs. Califone "Horoscopic. Amputation. Honey"
turns out the answer is wilco
― smexy fishy hawt joey martin (acoleuthic), Sunday, 19 December 2010 22:11 (thirteen years ago) link
although califone are horribly overlooked and that is not their best song - 'black metal valentine' is heaps better than both of the songs mentioned there
i like wilco.

The whole point about Wilco (as Summerteeth proves beyond all doubt) is that they're not rockist, as opposed to Son Volt. Being There is not rockist, but rather operates to question the foundations of rock myth.― Sterling Clover, Wednesday, April 25, 2001 8:00 PM

YHF is the only not-horrible album they've made, and that only rises to pleasant and dull.
I think my first ILM post was in 2003 and I still don't understand what the fuck 'rockist' is supposed to mean.
