I caught the flu and away I flew.



Bought Wilco (The Album) used for 9 bucks this weekend. Of course, it never reaches the heights of any of the classics, but I listened to it twice in the car on the way back. It's thoroughly enjoyable. I even like "Wilco (The Song)" (click for Colbert show) more than maybe I should. The whole album does smack of complacency, but there are some gems. Nice harmonies all 'round, some Nels Cline shredding, and references to older albums (church bells! They return!) for the hardcore fans disappointed with later output.

I wouldn't buy it new, but used I think it's a pleasant steal.
