new wilco record out today May 15, 2007
Last night, Jon and his friend Amy went to a listening party at a local pub for the NEW WILCO RECORD, which is to be released today. When he got home, I asked him how the record sounded. His response: “It sounds like Wilco.”
Needless to say, he’s not the Wilco fan that I am. I can’t wait to hear the record today. But I must not be quite enough of a fan, since when I went looking for more info on the new release, I ended up on THIS WILCO WEBSITE instead of the actual WILCO-THE-BAND WEBSITE.
[...] night, as Katie mentioned, my friend Amy and I went to Barley’s for some free food and music. We ended up leaving [...]
Our copy is on the way from Amazon, but we’ve been listening to the stream off the website for a couple months. It’s very different from Ghost, and took a little getting used to, but it’s really a fantastic listen.
Yeah, I have a record (and t-shirt, woot) coming from the wilco store, should be here tomorrow.
Pitchforkmedia.com dogged it, gave it a 5.something out of 10. They complained that it was too “dad-rock”, but I think thats what I liked so much about it.
My appeal with the record is that it sounds exactly like I feel, a lot of the time. Pretty cool when music synchs up with you like that.
