This band is 'hit or miss' with me, and this album was an equal 50/50 split.

Geez I miss these guy. Turns out that years later they are the perfect spinning music. Who knew?

I fail to see the 'big whoop' regarding Page McConell's side project. Not even covers of John Lennon and Traffic could save it from jamming mediocrity.

Seeing as how it's the 35th Anniversary n' all.

Nice soundtrack for a brisk 7k run.

It's just a Tom Petty kind of morning.

Awesome Holiday listening...even if it isn't really a holiday here.

Originally, I desperately wanted to connect with this album but I couldn't based on the odd snippets I heard here and there. It sounded disjointed and awkward, but I figured 'fuck it' and bought myself a vinyl version anyway. Oh my God! I couldn't have been more wrong and I totally see the errors of my ways now. Forgive me for ever having doubted you, Jeff Tweedy. The album is masterfully crafted and is a complete work through-and-through of the utmost complexity and genius. 'One Sunday Morning' might just be my new favorite Wilco song, like, ever.

Seriously, Tom Waits could bark on a piece of bathroom tile and it would sound like angels singing.

The infamous opening act for the legendary Allman Bros., Grateful Dead New Years Eve show.

Believe it or not, Lyle is the only thing preventing me from going all 'Orange Alert' during delays at the San Antonio International Airport (maybe it's guest David Grisman playing in the background). I have a sinus infection and sharing a Gate with about 3 dozen military soldiers in huge ass boots, and 3 zillion others in greasy gerry curls. How cultural am I?

Great ambiance while endearing Flight 5336 to San Antonio from Detroit. Wilco, as it turns out, limits one's chances at experiencing "air rage". Who knew?

Awesome funky weights soundtrack.

Because I need some positive Chi today.

Bluegrass in Mandolin Chinese featuring Abigail Washburn, Bela Fleck, Ben Solee and Casey Dreissen. Fantastic way to spend your birthday...or a trip to Tim Horton's in November for that matter.

One of my favorite live sets of music, like, ever. Even better for an intense weights session.
