You should look into Mermaid Avenue, their Guthrie covers records with Billy Bragg. That’s classic folk music stuff.
And their first album is contemporary folk/alt-Country

But yeah, most of it isn’t proper folk.

Personally my favorite Wilco album is “A Ghost is Born,” which has some wild shit on it. Not wild like early SY or fucking Throbbing Gristle or some shit, but wild for a band that made its name with sort of middling indie folk.

The only albums I really return to are that, “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” because I was in college and the right demographic for that when it came out, and “Being There,” which hits the spot from time to time.

Live, they play a mean, feedback-drenched show. Like SY doing Americana. Only definitely not as good.

"Hey guys, it's-a me, Wilco. Remember that time I covered Rod Stewart's, Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? Y'all ever listen to Alex Jones? I'm a big fan, but also antifa for life lol I make no sense. Remember my 80's synth band? We heavy metal now. Rob Zombie stole my gimmick. I wish I were Trent Reznor instead. Man I suck these days. Come on sugar, tell me soooo"

I have the same boots as uncle Al, but at least I'm not making unwise choices like touring with Carpenter Brut and guaranteeing myself humiliation via openers upstaging me and being more relevant etc.

Ouch, that's rough lol. Ministry used to be so good too. ESPECIALLY Twitch era Ministry - dear lord.

I actually saw him at Riot Fest last year, he opened for NIN and New Order. As much of a joke as the dude's become, I'd be lying if I were to say I didn't tear up the pit when they played Thieves and Just One Fix.

Dude. :mad:

Also because it’s great, but if it came out now, and my thirty-(seemumle)-year-old ass heard it, I probably wouldn’t be quite as taken with “I’m the man who Loves You” or swept off my feet by the loveliness of “Poor Places.”

I didn’t mean JUST because I was in college though.

I meant it more of, like, well... I like Nirvana *because I was a teenager in the ‘90s.* Yeah? Yeah.

Facetiousness? Or "fite time" again?

Severian, you're forgetting that it's against the forum's rules to enjoy music based on nostalgia. Just ask our resident bisque supremacist.

I already blocked you, but I read this on the e-mail notification and I had to come back ("Just when I thought I was out...") to point out the complete insincerity and hypocrisy of your little-bitch "Ooohhh, seriously Soup, I'm so sorry, I really really apologize" HORSESHIT from last week or whenever the fuck it was.

hahahaha

this i already pointed at in my previous comment that we’re discussing POPULAR music.

this is shit we hear on the radio, on commercials, at parties, while fucking, after getting dumped, while celebrating, driving to places, drunk, hangover, sway in his bathtub, at train stations, when angry, while laughing, through a broken speaker, in smoke filled rooms, over traffic noise, while arguing with a partner, running or at a gym, i.e. in real life not in a special conservatory of precious preciousness.

any presumption that we must feel this music independent of the fabric of our lives is absurd.

sure there is a place for, i dont know, detached musicology, and analysis, and whatever. but this is not how popular music is experienced.

and if im gonna get into “music appreciation” id much rather avoid a snobbish twat and do it with someone FUN, like this awesome person:

this is a lovely lovely video series. highly addictive! ENJOY. which is what it’s all about. the one about giant steps blew my mind.

Whoah.

Chill bros.

Don’t block each other. Nobody here is that one guy who only shows up to criticize people once a year or whatever and is like 22 so knows nothing.

Let’s heal this wound!
(Lol wound)

So... this is kind of unfair, and also... 97% sure it’s not an actual quote.

It’s like you’re confusing him with Ryan Adams or something.

*looks around for NR... sees no NR*

Cuz fuck Ryan Adams, amirite?

I apologized to you because I had thought it was my bi-polar disorder which made me originally snap at you. Then I realized you're the only person here I've ever personally had a problem with. Turns out you really are a dickwad.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to put my ear directly up to Chelsea Wolfe's anal cavity and experience that true lossless fidelity as she fills my tympanic membrane with her fecal dump. It's too bad you blocked me, or I'd let you join. Keep repeating your unavailing life cycle of posting highly compressed Youtube streams of benign tunes all over this site and then belittling others for listening to Spotify though. mmfwcl

Haha yeah I've actually seen this one before. It really is an impressive feat they've pulled off with that song. It's ironic you posted that here, as Radiohead is another band I listen to via flac... just in case I miss a fraction of a sound vibration or something lmfao. I may not always hear the difference but I like knowing its all there jic.



Noise and I are buds elsewhere on the internet. He left because of the elitist attitude of dudes like Soups which sucks all the fun out of discussing music on this site.
I'm starting to remember why I had also originally done the same.

Jesus man. I *thought* he and I were friends too, but he just took off.

And I’ve actually defended him on issues like this countless times, and encouraged him not to take shit from smarmy elitist fucktoads (NOT talking about Soup Nazi here — I don’t know what’s up with you guys, but I’m confident it can be worked out).

Although... I have also on occasion been a smarmy elitist fucktoad and busted NR’s balls for listening to, like, BUSH, when there was a new Kendrick Lamar album out. BUT BE THAT AS IT MAY...I still thought we were buds. Tell him to PM me.

He didn't cite anyone in particular, and I don't necessarily have any issues w/ Soup Nazi either. We seem to be very different kinds of people though. I just like talking smack, and reeealllly can't stand the elitist attitude in any art discussion whatsoever.

I did tell Noise you were asking about him, he said you were a cool dude but he's just sort of over this place. I'm sure he'll spring back up eventually. We all do.

Not good enough fuck that basic ass nerd.

(Lol jk)

Dr Fecalson, please avail yourself of the next available mirror

Fite-time was a joke.

It’s not fite-time.

Let’s not fite fite fite.

Unblock each other and let’s work this thing out.

I’m here all...

Shit I’m literally at work. Gotta go.
