Jayne ,'The Train Job'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
The only way I could find something less catchy than Wilco would be to not listen to it in the first place.
"Kingpin" - even folks I know who can't stand Wilco often admit it's catchy beyond reason.
I just sent my favorite song of the moment to buffistarawk. It's by a band called Sparrow House which is the side project of another band I like (but not as much) called Voxtrot. This tune is very pretty, very Paul Simon-y.
Hey, happy belated to Jon! And very happy to see Joe B up & about.
I'm firmly in the pro-Wilco camp, but I don't see much comparison between them & the Pernice Brothers these days (although both, admittedly, started life in the No Depression camp). The PBs seem much more oriented towards 80s Britpop songcraft, whereas Wilco are incorporating more and more avant-rock tendencies.
Liner notes from ongoing Round Robin I'm participating in, nakedly inspired by the original one here.
Damn good mix, Corwood!

Ditto. I really enjoyed that. I was putting together my theoretical list to that criteria as I went along. "Hmmm, literary references..."
I thought your selection criteria were very telling and Corwoodesque too. Sort of like the Five Best Categories In Jeopardy as a shorthand character building device (it's a riff in Coupland's Microserfs).
Thanks, y'all! I'm responsible for about a third of those criteria.
We're doing this one through gmail to cut down on the snail-mail confusion. I think it's a generally workable model for a small round robin. Hint, hint.
I love your graph on "The Cattle and the Creeping Things."
I really need to make a short Lifter Puller mix and put it on buffistarawk. Craig Finn gives great lyric.

I've been wanting to participate in one since ya'll did the last one. Even though I'm not as smart about music as most of you guys are. Or, my knowledge is not as deep anyway.

Thanks! That album's so well plotted that it's hard to believe Finn isn't a published novelist.

I'd love to hear it.

Lisa's in! Who else?
I'm always in for frankenmix making.

It is. You have to hear LP's "Nassau Coliseum." And that's just one song.
