Wilco

<< < (4/5) > >>

Stifled Dreams:
For an assignment in music last year, we had to bring in a song we liked so the class could listen to it. And eventually count the instruments that we could hear... I learned absolutely nothing in music that year. Anyways, I was like, "Well! I think I'll bring in Hummingbird, because it is really likeable!" I wish there was a way to duplicate the expressions of my classmates as they listened to it - around the room, there were a million, "Burn! This sounds like country a little bit!"

Although I was mortified at the time, I eventually realized that they all just had bad taste in music. That was kind of a turning point in my life. I stopped caring. Because seriously, who in their right mind doesn't love that song? Although Valrus is quite correct in naming two other songs fantastic Wilco songs.

There are so many things for me to say about Wilco. Anyone else have the Wilco book?

Almost certainly me. I'll tell you for certain when my sounds working properly again.

I love bands from Chicago, they know how to kick it there. Makes me kinda want to live there....

Anywho, Wilco's awesome, as is Uncle Tupelo. The album A.M. is a definate blend of both of them and is one of my favourite albums of all times. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot's up there too. Radio Cure = so pretty. Jeff Tweedy always sounds like he's desperate and in pain. That's what I love about his voice.

I was BORN there. Chicago rules. Mabe with the cold, windy weather, they have nothing else to do but lock themselves up and either rock out (The Ponys) or make wierd music (Wilco).

Wilco's pretty good. I love Being There and Summerteeth and am warming up to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, but A Ghost is Born (my first Wilco record) is ghastly. I'm...not a big fan of that record. Way too long-winded, IMO, and the actual songs that are there aren't even that great. Pretty yawntabulous.

You made me realize I spelt "their" wrong. Argh, I hate that, and I feel stupid.


EDIT: Man, I re-read this and my logic seemed pretty all over the place, so I'm trying again. What I'm basically trying to say is that, sorry, Khar, I still think you are in your right mind. I just was thinking that it is a pretty appealing song. I know lots of people with different tastes that don't like the same type of music that I like, but most of those people have at least listened to songs fully before they told me what they didn't like. It just bothered me that nobody in my class even listened (they all talked during the song).

Did that make any sense at all?

KharBevNor:
Muchos sense!

I just have this thing about people making sweeping statements about what music people should like like that.

'Cos I mean, it's obvious to me that if you don't like 'Huldrafolk' by Wyrd or 'In the Kingdom of Burning Crucifixions' by Xasthur you're insane in the membrane. If ya see what I mean.
