Lauren's cropping the Bonnaroo pics Rama! Sorry about the Mac thing. It's Celeste's fault.

my friends and i had a discussion the other day as to whether this new album, "a ghost is born", will get wilco mainstream radio play and recognition. possibly even really high up on the album charts. thoughts?

hey thanks!

i like it so far. if it goes mainstream i'd say great. dig the junk let it be/tom waits/the band rustic thing. the photos on their site look just like the last waltz! very sweet. i think it's the tie.

holmes, YHF debuted at #13, im guessing this will debut between 9 and 12 and sell about 45-60k first week, but i wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't that high. should def be top 20 though.

there's not too much mainstream sounding stuff on AGIB, but Late Greats, Theologians, and Hummingbird are all quite catchy.

def far from my fave Wilco record, but still killer.

Quit Your Day Job: Ungdomskulen

The Bergen trio Ungdomskulen play proggy post punk, mixing chops and hooks with a sense of humor. But they don't sound like Primus. When I was in Norway a couple years ago, "Ungdomskulen" seemed to be on everybody's lips (or...

Premature Evaluation: Beck - Modern Guilt

It's been some time since we learned Modern Guilt, Beck Hansen's eighth album, would be some sort of psych rock minimalist '60s trip with Danger Mouse. Since then, we've gotten a look at the old-school jazz/Blue Note-style cover art and...
