Has everyone sampled the new Wilco album?
Pretty impressive.

Well Joanna, we love him too.

Yes Wilco's new album was a bit flat at first listen but after a few spins they drag you in and those songs are simply gorgeous. Check out Phonograph. A band that just released their amazing debut. They're discovered by Wilco. Every Lindseyfan that loves Wilco is my friend. Period.:thumbsup:

And I love Joanna Newsom! I'm going to see her in September.
I remember she's mentioned her love of Lindsey's music before, in fact here's the thread:

It's awesome. There's been a real mixed reaction to it but I've loved it from the start. I saw them live twice a couple of weeks back and the new songs sound fantastic live too. I just love Tweedy et co.

Have you checked out the debut of Phonograph, a band that Tweedy warmly supports, Sharon? I bet you like them a lot.

oh sharon :distress:

:laugh:

I've heard of them, I know they've supported Wilco a lot. I will definitely check 'em out. I think it was John Stirratt the bassist who discovered them though, which is cool cos he's my second fave member. Or maybe third, I love Glenn Kotche too... alright I'll stop rambling about Wilco now...

JEALOT JEALHEAD :mad:

dudes,

i can't tell you how refreshing it is to see an intelligent exchange of quality new music commentary here.

i still have not heard joanna, just samples. but what i have heard is really intriguing. kind of reminds me of somewhere in there amongst victoria williams, rickie lee jones, with a little maria mckee and rufus wainwright thrown in.
her reviews are mostly stellar. looking forward to it.

and yes, i agree - the new Wilco was disappointing to me at first as well.
but now, after several weeks it has grown on me like a fine moldy hunk of cheese from some small town in south eastern France.
i love it, and i'd go so far as to say it's as strong as many of our favorite 1970's albums. i have been a Wilco fan since day one. can't say this one is my favorite, but something about it makes me love it like an old classic Eagles album.
