I'm a Wilco fan, but this one doesn't do much for me.

Jeff Tweedy came off as a huge cack on the documentary I'm Trying to Break Your Heart. I'm not sure if that's truly representative of his personality, but that's how it seemed. |

I think this is inspired by a Henry Miller book, called "Stand Still Like the Hummingbird"
I'm okay with that... |

From this disc, I'd love to see Theologians and Handshake Drugs added to the list.

It took me a long time to get into this song, and album too. But I really dig it now.
There's a lot of songs I now consider 'timeless' that I wasn't really into the first few times I heard them. Funny how that works.

Not that there's not anything wrong with that...
yeah, there's something beautifully reminiscent about the piano in this song. 70ish, maybe 60ish. Queen's Killer Queen and other theatrical sounding numbers?

I do love these guys and lo and behold, RP didn't turn me on to these guys initially. It was Austin City Limits! But Bill has furnished far more of them to me over many months (and many more to come). Son Volt and Uncle Tupelo are also so good as precursors to Wilco and the wagon that went down the other road. Gettin to really dig this alt country thing.

On the other hand, "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" just worked for me right from the start, I didn't even have to try. Wilco has a problem, and that problem is they've already created their master work... nice problem to have, though!
Glad to see someone else feels the same way I do. I have listened to YHF many times, but this album only gets listened to when a song comes up on my ipod. |

I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper, she's a Pepper, we're a Pepper,
Wouldn't you like to be a Wilco fan too?
Nice homage to "Honey Pie" there near the end as well.
Yet another from Tweedy and co. that I enjoy. This band hardly ever misses.

There is not a more relevant, talented, earnest, thoughtful band in the world right now (grandiose comment, I realize). And you love them even more if you know their story.

Gotta love a band who can sound
like modern Beatles.
