“Sometimes we tell ourselves that no, the band is too famous, too important, that their label would never let them do a Take Away Show. We have a fantasy list: Radiohead, Tom Waits, Chuck Berry, Cat Power. Wilco.”
Above, Wilco perform Wilco (The Album)’s “Country Disappeared” backstage at Olympia Theater in Montreal for La Blogoteque’s ‘Concert [...]

So bla bla bla, right? Another “Best of the Decade” list. I can’t possibly bring myself to explain these choices in detail of any kind. I’m all detailed out for the year. I feel like I keep reading the same things about a few of these records on different sites, and no one likes when [...]
