My music recomendation....NDR

Okay, this is a little unusual but since this album has impressed me so much I'm gonna do my best to sell a few cd's for the band.

Wilco's newest release Sky Blue Sky is one of the best albums I've ever heard. You may've heard the song "What Light" on the radio....this is the weakest one on the album. There are hints of Dylan and The Beatles, Neil Young, G. Dead and Al Stewart and maybe even a little Lindsey Buckingham but it's still Wilco which amounts to a more refined and perfectly simplistic sound that beats all the aforementioned artists at their best in my opinion.

Notably, this album was recorded in their tiny studio in Chicago live with virtually no overdubs. Wilco is one of my favorite bands so I'm biased but this is some historically notable music and should be enjoyed by many. I have nothing to do with the band(though this band has something to do with me if you get my drift)so I wouldn't term this spam...but it's my recommendation. "Impossible Germany" may end up being one of the best songs of the decade and at this point I doubt anybody will top it this year.
 
I dunno Jay, I heard them when they were on Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor. AHAH AHa AH aHa hack ha aa. Wilco on Prairie Home Companion, ha ah aha aha aha, what sort of drugs were they doing when they booked that?!?!?

They did that? Jeeze.....one more reason to hate Garrison Kealor....hanging out with one of my favorite bands. They play Austin City Limits quite a bit so I think they have a love affair with the eclectica of the airwaves ie PBS and NPR. I highly doubt there's any liberal connection between the band and Garrison.....I mean c'mon, liberal musicians.

WTF were you doing even caring what was going on with PHC....oh wait NPR is piped into the campus like elevator music. Is it in our contract to listen to NPR!? "Tod, there will be a test after the broadcast"...Bwuaaahhhhhh!!!! Did you see the South Park where the Woodstock-like hippie fest gets out of hand and to stop the 9 mile long crowd Cartman volunteers to drive a specialized hippie boring machine into the crowd and pop an Anthrax cd into the PA system and the hippies heads start to explode etc......is that what would happen if they piped Fox News into faculty radios at the universities? :eek:)


Steve, don't read it wrong....they have elements of the bands I mentioned but it's not a rip off. I shouldn't have even said anything about the other bands....Wilco is very unique. The last album is unlike anything ever done by anybody. The only thing surrogate about them is that you don't have to smoke pot to get high if you listen to Wilco....Wow dude...HEAVY!

Jay,

Sorry, I was just guessing that you would respond negatively to the association, maybe not that strongly.

Jen likes Prairie Home Companion, it reminds her of the bucolic Midwest she grew up in.
