Default Share your musical letdown story here

I used to really like Wilco. Uncle Tupelo was one of the most influencial bands of the 90's and I was a huge fan. When Wilco's AM came out, I couldn't get enough of it. Wilco came to the Twin Cites for 2 nights back in 97, and I of course bought tickets for both shows. I coudln't wait, but.....Tweedy acted like a jackass and was taking off his clothes and they turned a few of their songs into 10 minute annoying jam sessions. They were obviously burned out from the tour and were sick of the music and not into it at all. It was so bad I didn't even go to the show the next night. Meh. I want my $10 back.








YHFT sucks

I thought YHFT was ok - but Ghost is Born is a big letdown

actually, I just bought the new Son Volt - Farrar is closer to my musical tastes then the stuff from Wilco these days.

I like a lot of it, but I can do without 12 minutes of a washing machine running or whatever the hell that crap is.

It's all good. Uncle Tupelo...good. A.M...good. All the way up to AGIB...good. They have changed considerably through time, but neither the music nor the lyrics have ever failed to impress me. Anyone who fails to see this is just nitpicking and depriving themselves of some great music.

it came out Tuesday -

I found it in target of all places. None of the regulars on there though but Farrar - I think he did it out of record obligations or something - cause it's virtually like his solo stuff, but he did it in 4 days with a band in St. Louis
