Grateful Dead, Yo La Tengo, now Wilco: 1 => 2 => 3 {#Sleep}. Maybe I'll get a 5 in a couple of songs at this rate of progression. In the meantime, wilco and out.

Just downloaded off your link to iTunes. Wilco is a current favorite.

I think it would be hysterically ironic if Tweedy actually recorded an alt' country album. Where Son Volt, Jayhawks, Richmond Fontaine, Damien Jurado, Ryan Adams, et al. have never been able to put that style of music "on the map", I bet Tweedy could do it.

I really dislike Wilco, but this song sounds quite different from their usual — this one I do like!

Draggy...drony....I want to like it, but I just can't. I really like the 'Foxtrot' stuff..."Jesus etc." and "Trying to Break your heart"....but this is pale to me.

It's a masters program at the University of Illinois for teaching critical thinking. He must be a pretty smart guy in addition to all those awesome musical abilities, eh?

Starting to understand why there's so much buzz about Wilco after this song. Very nice! The backward guitars remind me of King Crimson's "I Talk to the Wind."

Either one of those KC gems would be ADORED over here. Lake or Wetton progging along to the loopin' King Fripp.

In other news, this melancholical tune is a faithful descendant of said gems. If you can't introspect far enough to recognize your own fallibility, you might as well be...
...listening elsewhere

The first few notes always make me think it's going to be Touch & Go's "Tango In Harlem" (which, btw, would be an excellent addition to RP's library )

Lovin' the Wilco, Bill.  Please play something from their A.M. release when you have a chance.  You might also play some Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt... {#Good-vibes}
 
I miss Uncle Tupelo very much. I was quite lucky to see them live in State College, PA a month or two before their breakup. You could tell there was a little tension, but it was still a great set. I'd love to hear something from Anodyne myself.{#Good-vibes}

Seriously, there is absolutely no energy here.  One of the most bland songs I've ever heard.

Excellent song from an excellent group.  I even have snippets of theirs as my welcome and shutdown music for my computer.

Summerteeth is my favorite Wilco album, too, and this is one of the best tracks on it. I think Jay Bennett really grounded Jeff Tweedy a bit (against his will) and contributed immensely to the music.

"How to Fight Loneliness" is the best song on this very well-done album.

Wilco is one of the few bands that transcends pop and alternative- and still remain likeable to both.
