Loose Fur: C or D?

I can't remember if I mentioned this yet, but I don't remember seeing it anywhere on here. I thought it was pretty cool. That it was cooler once I realized Loose Fur = Lucifer.

I thought it was weird to see Wilco and Sonic Youth playing shows together, but it was weirder to learn they shared common bandmembers in Loose Fur.

inexplicably, dud.

wilco and sonic youth would have ugly children.

Classic, though I figured it would be shite. Loose Fur = Lucifer, never noticed that before. They instill considerably more fear in me than Dio or Grim Reaper.

if wilco and sonic youth did have children would they all have jim o'rourkes arse and funny pants?

Classic without reproach. In fact, I almost listened to it enough to hate it. But then I shelved it for a few weeks, came back to it, and loved it just as much as before.

It's everything Yankee Hotel Foxtrot should have been, but wasn't.

Ditto to what Andrew said.

One part Yankee, one part Insignificance, dash of glitch. Classic.

One part Yankee, one part Busted Stuff. Dud.

You can tell it's mainly just leftover late night jam sessions with a few half-written songs tinkering about. Of course, thanks to Jim's midas touch it's great. B-.

The stuff where they sing back and forth is goofy, because O'Rourke's voice sounds so weeny next to Tweedy. But "Chinese Apple" is ace.

I've found that I listen to this album a whole lot more than YHF these days; maybe I burned out on YHF in the year I had a bootleg before it finally came out, but right now, Loose Fur seems like a fully realized album where YHF sounds like a compromise (at times). Plus I'm a big fan of O'Rourke's singing voice. And yes Chinese Apple is extraordinary.

Put it this way, I'm more interested in hearing another Loose Fur record than another Wilco record.

eighteen years pass...

this album's up with the very best of both tweedy & o'rourke's individual work
