Countdown To Wilco

Hello again. I'm guessing by this point everyone has had their fill of Micheal Jackson music? Well let's go ahead and dive into some other stuff. As far as the title is concerned....exactly one week from tomorrow i will be in DC seeing Wilco at the sold out Wolf Trap! As you can imagine I'm pretty excited. I was also excited driving to the record store today to pick up the new CD entitled Wilco (the album). I had a chance to listen to the CD a few times thanks to Wilco & NPR streaming the CD for free over the last few weeks. So although i heard it before i was anxious to get it into my grubby palms.

I suppose the theme for this week's posts will be Wilco (the discography). I'm going to post my favorite track from all of Wilco's studio albums (excluding the Mermaid Avenue albums & the live Kicking television Album-Hey, i just thought of this idea and i only have so many days) in chronological order going from newest to oldest.

Well i haven't had long to digest the new album but so far four or five tracks have been catching my attention. At this time the one below is the one I've gone back to the most. Enjoy!

Please note: I'm going to start taking down some of the old tracks so act fast!

R.I.P Michael Jackson

Holy cow, talk about stealing Farrah Fawcett's thunder. I was running on the treadmill around 5:30 this afternoon and saw that Michael Jackson was rushed to the hospital and the next thing i know he passed away.

It was hard not to be a MJ fan growing up in the 80's. i remember i would get so excited when MTV would show the Thriller video. Back then it was a huge event. I liked some of the tracks off Bad as well but Thriller was always my favorite. I also grew to appreciate his stuff with the Jackson 5. i can't think of any other bands with such a young singer that adults actually enjoy.(Sorry Miley). too bad his legacy was a bit tarnished with all the court cases. well i guess all we have now is the music and lucky for us he left behind some great stuff.. Now everybody sing it with me - Jamone, Hee-Hee!!!!

Sunday Morning Coming Down - The Rolling Stones

Happy father's day everybody. For today's pick i figured we'd listen to a laid back track off the classic Sticky Fingers album. I have a feeling that these guys have had some rough Sunday mornings. Enjoy.

Two For Tuesday - The Replacements

Hey gang. Welcome back to another edition of Two for Tuesday. Well I'm a big fan of these guys's music but I don't think I would’ve liked to hang with the band in their "prime." I think you'd agree with me after reading the book Our Band Could Be Your Life. This book explains the beginnings (and endings) of some of the most influential bands that never quite crossed over into mainstream super stardom. It also includes stories about Black Flag, Minor Threat, Dinosaur Jr, and a few more. Bye for now...
