any Wilco fans

[leftofthedial]

or not?

I think I'm (re)addicted to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

1. Definitely.

Heard YHF recently as well.

[leftofthedial]

2. I relistened for the first time in a couple of years

not long ago


and now I can't get it out of the mix. I listened to it back-to-back tonight. I never to that. What a great recording.

5. I need to listen to Being There again.

Mostly, I've played Summer Teeth and YHF.

Also, A Ghost is Born is great as well.

[leftofthedial]

6. "Ghost" is on right now

I was a big Summerteeth fan when it was newer. I liked YHF okay back then, but now it totally floors me. Summerteeth is still cool, but not in a league with what I hear on YHF. Man...

What's the new one like? I'm woefully behind in my listening.

10. Sky Blue Sky?

It's good -- overall, pretty mellow, more country than "alt."

I even heard one of SBS' songs on a car commercial recently.

[leftofthedial]

11. I've heard it, but don't have it.

no, I mean NO dinero :(

[Heidi]

3. Yep!

:hi:

[leftofthedial]

7. hi back

great, great band. I loved them since AM.



on edit:

well, really since Uncle Tupelo, although I was always a Jay Farrar fan. Tweedy, though, is a total monster. In a good way.

sorry for the gin ...;

9. Have you heard Billy Bragg's CD, "The Internationale"?

_Wonderful_! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[leftofthedial]

The Braggster is the real deal!

21. I presume you've heard the CDs Bragg did with Wilco

Mermaid Avenue Vol 1 and 2. They took songs that Woody Guthrie wrote lyrics for but never got around to writing music for. They added their music. Both are absolutely great.

[Heidi]

22. We own them both.

I lovelovelove "California Stars" and "Walt Whitman's Niece." :hi:

Mornin', taterguy! :pals:

[taterguy]

23. Aginst the Law is about a tobacco strike

Really.

The strike took place a few blocks from where this photo was taken. Guthrie came down in 1947 and performed benefits for the strikers.

4. The wilco is..

where we used to buy our rubbers. :D

:hide:

:hi:

[leftofthedial]

8. can I use that line in a song?

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Inchworm]

14. feel free

It was a 24 hour gas station growing up. Its a convenient store now. Go figure :D

:hi:

[leftofthedial]

13. where is that?

I assume "wilco" was a chain drug store?

[Inchworm]

15. I grew up in a "cruising" town in NC

Thurs-Sun people drove in circles. West Jefferson, NC was where the Wilco was.. you could buy rubbers in the bathroom 24/7 :D

:blush:

[leftofthedial]

16. I'm serious about the song

that's what I do

was it a drugstore or what?

[Inchworm]

17. well, hmm.. a description

Town done a circle.. From the A&P parking lot to the Bank (forget name).

If you drove out of the circle at the A&P you'd pass the Wilco. If you stopped at the Wilco everyone in the A&P parking lot knew why. It was a well kept gas station with a condom machine in bathrooms.

:)

[leftofthedial]

20. "town done in a circle"

this one is writing itself

[DarkTirade]

18. You mean this Wilco?
