Hi Jim,

I've only listened to it once. Over all I like it, especially sides 3 & 4--some of Jeff Tweedy's best work. I wish there was a little less distortion on some of the songs on sides 1 & 2. Nels Cline is a great guitarist, but he gets a little carried away at times IMO. Sky Blue Sky and Wilco (The Album) are my favorite Wilco album's followed by A. M. I have A Ghost is born and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, but don't like them as well.

Hey Laura,

Glad to hear that you like the lp. I can see you point on sides 3 & 4, I agree. I also understand what you are saying about side 1 & 2, yet I guess I like the experimentation . . on track one, side 1 Art Of Almost - refreshing almost progish, which was a big surprise to me. on side 4, One Sunday Morning is masterful to me

btw I started listening to Uncle Tupelo back in their 'frat house playing days' in the mid 80s and i've been tracking Wilco/Tweedy & Son Volt/Farrar ever since, sadly most of what i own is on cd, but i'm staring to pick up some vinyl

cheers,

Jim

To fund a couple of cartridge purchases I decided to sell off quite a few CD's.
Before selling I ripped them to the PC Hard Drive and there they've languished ever since.
There's quite a few on there that you just can't get on vinyl so it's worth a little bit of effort.

So your robbin' peter to pay paul?

understood though

Magnum - I've followed these guys from their beginnings. Probably the band I've seen most times live.
Still going and releasing albums.
Personally I prefer their earlier stuff (Kingdom of Madness thru to Vigilante) after that they had a stint with an added commercial feel, but more recently back to form.
Get them on your DSCOGS "Watch List"

Got some in me dogs cart now

bside an awesome live lp

Yea, this has always been one of my favorite live albums, well because it's so "lively."

Hot band, and they flat out jam... Frankly, though, the recording is just okay.

Hi Jim,

I pretty much agree with you on the new Wilco. I've listened to the CD that came with the LP in the car and ripped it to iTunes in an AIFF format and listened at work. The album grows on you. Art of Almost is a good song. I really like Nels Cline when he plays melody like on Impossible Germany from Sky Blue Sky. If you haven't heard it, you should check out this album by Jay and Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie) http://www.amazon.com/One-Fast-Move-Im-Gone/dp/B002MJM86Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1317740555&sr=1-1 Good stuff

I'm a late comer to Wilco (Sky Blue Sky was my first purchase and then I bought some of their back catalog. The one I wish I had not bought is A Ghost Is Born) and never listened to Uncle Tupelo in the past.

Happy listening,

Laura

I have my original pink Capricorn but it's a bit noisy. Might be some seeds in the gatefold...
