I can't stop listening to Tweedy. It's immediately appealing and still keeps providing new moments. To me, it's about as fresh a breathe of air as I've had in a long time. I've been listening to and enjoying Wilco for years and I dig their catalog all the way through, but Tweedy has an newness and a sense of danger that recent Wilco albums don't. There's an energy there that I find very appealing. Listen to the first track and tell me it doesn't leave you wanting more? The whole album is this way for me. It scratches an itch but keeps me itchy. I keep listening to it and I keep hearing more. It's pretty fucking awesome. sounds_sound, check it out.
I saw a comment on the guardian streaming website that said "Literally dad rock." Gave me a chuckle. Seriously though, this is a great record. I saw their performance on the Colbert Report and blew it off because I didn't think the song that they played Low Key sounded all that great, nor was I all that into the feely goody father & son vibe going on in that room. But listening to the recorded studio version was a different thing altogether. No surprise since Jeff is an excellent producer. The addition of the female background vocals was an especially nice touch. Added some soul to the whole mix. And the song constructions are interesting, playful, and really fun to listen to. Sounds like they're having a blast. I also read that Tweedy produced Low's last album so will have to check that out. This isn't a record that I'll be able to actively listen to though, as in me just sitting and listening as I did (and still can) with Foxtrot, but it is definitely a record I can play while making dinner and occasionally jumping around my living room. Thanks for the shout-out homie.
You get an address that works yet?Thanks for the shout-out homie.
-Always.
My postman said it wasn't on his end. My fear is that it's stopping at the border. I'm not kidding. Do me a favor and send me an empty envelope. The address was correct.
Great writeup, you've convinced me I need to move Tweedy to the top of my list, which is crowded right now. RtJ2 just blew my fucking mind today. I listened to a ton of music this weekend, some of it live in New Orleans (!). Wow. I was with a great group of people who appreciate the blues, don't have a deep knowledge of it, but were willing to learn. So we talked Albert King, Fats Domino, Trombone Shorty... all over the place. In the car -- Endtroducing, the preeminent turntablism album, some classic EitS, some Avalanches... met a lot of music nerds from all spectra this weekend. Great time.
That sounds like a pretty kick-ass weekend. Let me know what you think of Tweedy.
I believe this is week 94, not 93. Could be wrong, but the prior week was also the ninety-third.
