[QUOTE=AndreTheHyena;15761555]I never could. I can't take it seriously at all, though I will admit his lyrics can be really great on occasion.[/QUOTE]

His voice really spoils what could be amazing songs, lyrically wise.

The Melvins last night was MINDBLOWING. Two drummers with connected drum sets in the back pounding out polyrythmns to their classic songs, Buzzo right in my face.

If I have nothing to do tonight I'll go see them and Comets on Fire who I assumed opened for your show. Only thing is parking in SF on New Years.

I wish Comets on Fire opened last night. Thats sure to be a great show though.

Which Melvins album is a good starting point to really get into them? I've heard [i]Stoner Witch[/i], and I really liked their style on that record, but I'm not sure that it's a typically Melvinsesque record, as it's rarely mentioned as one of their essentials...

[I]Houdini[/I] or their new one, [I]A Senile Animal[/I].


I'm partial to [I]Bullhead[/I] and [I]Gluey Porch Treatments[/I] myself but those are kinda of of their beaten path.

im reading some wilco reviews on rym

why are people so stupid

Give us examples.

- people mentioning YHF in just about every review, even ones for their first two albums
- people not thinking Being There is their best album (this is fact)
- and thinking that Misunderstood and Sunken Treasure are the only good songs on it (lol)
- A GHOST IS BORN IS SO KRAUTROCK
- WILCO ARE SO NOISY NOW THIS IS PRETTY ARTY
-etc

lol krautrock

-JEFF TWEEDY IS SRSLY CRAZY

Hahaha. Word on [i]Being There[/i] being their (lol) best, though they could have seriously trimmed a few tracks off of it.

I ran my roommate's truck into a ditch during a snowstorm while listening to [i]Yankee Hotel Foxtrot[/i] a few weeks ago.

there are maybe one or two songs on the second disc that i dont like

but Dreamer in My Dreams makes up for those

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

it's a really good album but it can be kind of dull

Wilco? Why?

what

Alex hates fun.

Word.

Wilco is not fun.

What's fun, then?

old time relijun and kayo dot

Wilco gets tedious on repeated listens.

that sounds like a reviewer sentence you should use that

will do.

Summerteeth and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot are good sometimes but other times i just can't listen to them.

[I]O', the others! How they grace my ears with such tedium![/I]

Silver Jews are fun.

Is Daniel Johnston worth seeing live?

hey guys i jest set up my jimi hendrix shrine now im reticulkating some splines
