Wilco- Wow


I've been listening to this Jim'Rourke mixed album "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" for about a month now (got MP3's prior to it's release) I love it. I recommend it. Musically interesting, good recording, different.

Check it.

Great CD. Uncle Tupelo, which spawned Wilco and Son Volt, just released an anthology which is also quite good. Son Volt may be worthy of a listen if you like Wilco. Terry Gross interviewed Tweedy last week on NPR, very entertaining. Anybody else catch it?
Hey Anth0456...their old label, Reprise, was a division of Warner Brothers and so is their new label, Nonesuch. Now I bet you're REALLY wondering what they were smoking. The band purchased their masters from Reprise for $50,000 (maybe $30,000?? I forget) and then sold them back to Nonesuch. I assume they sold them back to Nonesuch at a profit. Isn't corporate America a hoot??
Yeah I heard the Terry Gross interview with Tweedy. It just is not right when your favorite music is played on NPR. Pell Mell, Morphine, Modest Mouse, Tortoise... Am I getting old?

Hey Karl-I didn't know if I was getting too old or Terry Gross is getting hip. I've decided on the former. I really like Morphine and Treat Her Right, both of whom I had the luxury of seeing before Sandman passed away. Which BTW, ( Sandmans death) was also the focus of a small NPR segment last year, strangely enough.
