I'm going to see what is supposed to be the final NYC show of WWVV tonite actually. WW (i.e., James) wants to work on his own stuff. There's always been a dilemma between James' clever and strong songwriting and the bands' ability to create compelling and conscious free music/jamming - I saw them Friday and have no complaints except it was only 20 mins. Personally I'm more of a fan of the bigger lineup. Musically they range from mountain americana to the more aggro free jams a la Tower Recordings...I gotta admit after buying 5 albums in one year in 2005 I haven't bought anything recently, maybe the new 7".
