Fucking classic.<BR/><BR/>J: you're certainly not sophisticated enough for Satoru Wono. that's pretty obvious. you should just go back to your little indie rock bands with singers who can't carry a tune and chord progressions that any high school idiot could figure out in about two bong hits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34989425.post-89515542719870788832007-06-09T19:45:00.000-07:002007-06-09T19:45:00.000-07:00Judybats?!!!

We swapped tapes of bands the other hated and agreed to listen to the tape once a day for an entire week, the theory being that the more you hear something, even if you initially hate it, the more you'll like it. I gave him a Judybats tape and he gave me one of the Smiths tapes. Long story short, within a week I was, for the first time in my life, a bona fide Smiths fan. He actually went out and bought the other Judybats album.<BR/><BR/>Could something similar be happening to you two with the Wilco album?<BR/><BR/>D.

What's that worth to a listener? Ultimately, not much; I don't think it's colored my opinion of the actual content all that much, which is nice but ultimately underwhelming. <BR/><BR/>It's entirely anecdotal, but I would imagine that most of my favorite music was made by artists who didn't enjoy the process of recording so much as they approached it as cathartic. <I>YHF</I> certainly fits into that category (as does <I>Summerteeth</I>, an album that I find inferior to <I>Being There</I>.<BR/><BR/>That's it, you cheese-eating fuckface.Dieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736353413710315191noreply@blogger.com
