Last day of a brutal stretch of days at work and home. Wilco (The Song) is just the push I need to get some work done before hitting the road for a couple of days. Not my favorite album in their catalog, but I'll probably just let this one play and see what reveals itself this time around.

It’s an awesome album. I think it loses a little steam in the final stretch, but not to an off putting degree.

I think the last time I re-listened I also liked it better than I remembered. I'm liking it a lot right now. This feels like the Wilco album where the current lineup really learned how to play with each other.

Come on children, you're acting like children. Every generation thinks it's the end of the world...

Tweedy did an interview a couple years ago where he said that album was really inspired by their touring setup. He said that’s why the drums were so loud, because they were used to hearing them loud on stage and wanted to capture that energy. It absolutely rocks harder than something like Star Wars, despite the latter having more “rock songs.”

That's interesting. Never thought about how the drum sound worked on here but that makes a ton of sense now.

I love this quote re: "Country Disappeared". Reveals so much about his impressionistic songwriting.

Quote:
There are images in that song I wanted to convey without a lot of commentary or opinion. I just wanted to look at, say, a foreclosure auction in an impressionistic and beautiful way. I wanted to look at a devastated city from above, as if it’s art, and not really trying to relate too many thoughts about it at all. That’s what it is for me — a series of images. I see them, I think of them when I sing it, and that’s what gives me satisfaction. I know the title seems to be provocative for a lot of people, wondering which country I’m talking about — the red country or the blue country, which one disappeared? That’s not really where the song was coming from.

Guys all it requires is 45 minutes of your time to input the songs to iTunes then put them in your phone

I, too, was making a joke by referencing your previous joke.

I still use iTunes for leaks and the occasional Bandcamp or fan-made project. Binaural Deluxe, baby!
