Post About Wilco

[Los Feliz Slim]

I'm not much into new, or even remotely new, music. My music chronology goes Buddy Holly -> Beatles -> Duran Duran -> U2 -> Phish, and that's about it. There have otherwise been a few artists that I enjoy regularly (Grateful Dead, Lyle Lovett, Marshall Tucker Band, I'm sure some others) but I'm not a big music guy, really.

All that said, I can't remember having such an instant affinity for a band as I've developed for Wilco. In very backwards order (apparently), I started with Sky Blue Sky, then moved on to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, now I'm trying out A.M.. I used to check out Uncle Tupelo down at Cicero's in STL when I went to school there and the shows were great, but man, these albums are really something else. Every time I listen I like each more.

Favorite song from Sky Blue Sky: You Are My Face

Favorite song from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot: Jesus, etc.

They're coming to the Greek in August or so, going to have to pick up some tix. I know you guys love Wilco, let's hear it.
