Wilco on Austin City Limits

Most music from unfamiliar bands take more then one listen for it to sink in for me. The extra few spins helps me find new music. Some times you just have to sit with it for it to sink in. YHF was one Wilco recored that was that way for me. As time passed and with many listens it's now one of my desert island disc.

You should rent the Sam Jones film on the making of the recored called "I'm Trying To Break your Heart" It might be easier for someone unfamiliar with the Band and the recored to be entertained. And maybe give the music a better chance of touching you.

I'm 44 and i am still looking for new music. no matter if its from a new band or a old band i just had not been exposed to.

I think you are refering to the song "you are my face" I know that was in a commercial I heard. That is on Sky Blue Sky.

Come on Rockyboy, you should give Sky Blue Sky a chance, it's a lot more "normal" than YFH. It's very easy to like, as are a lot of new groups. You should never give up the hunt for new and interesting stuff to listen to.

Rockboy, Ejlif, No the song is clearly "Thanks I get".

Volkswagon used 2 different songs for their commercials.
I have read that Wilco was going to put it on the Sky Blue recording , but they chose to not include it. Wonder why...

Rockyboy, I know what you mean, but search out this song even if you have to go to Limeware, it really is a toe tapper for us older (but wiser) gents.

P.S. I still play AC/DC, CCR. BTO and Led Zepplin and wow, I will be 55 in about 3 weeks !

Okay, okay - I give up! I'll give Wilco another try and I'll track down "Thanks I get". But, the toes better tap -or else! : )

I had the same problem with Dave Mathews band. A friend loaned me their greatest hits. Folks, ALL THE SONGS SOUNDED THE SAME!!! Honestly, I don't know how Dave keeps the songs straight when he's giving a concert.

Go back and listen to the Beatles, Stones, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Alan Parsons, Jethro Tull, Allman Brothers, Fleetwood Mac, etc. Beautiful music, great lyrics, and great arrangements. True classics. I'd be willing to bet that Wilco won't be around by this time next year. Any takers?

Wilco not only will be around by this time next year but they will likely have a new release that will be on the verge of gold status in sales, even though they give every release away via their web site for free.
Wilco will probably be headlining arenas in the next two or three years.

come on rockboy stop living in the past. You need a steady dose of Wilco, Arcade Fire, M. Ward, Ryan Adams, Of Montreal, The National, Andrew Bird... stop me when you have heard any of these artist ...
