Is it fair to say at this point in the game all four of these acts haven't got any clothes on any more?

spoken like a true bizquig. I think you said something similar when I first showed you Terraform... _______________________________

I'm serious here. I know you guys love and worship Albini, but when do we start holding Shellac and Tortoise (and every band their members used to be in) responsible for influincing the worst music ever to walk the face of the earth?

And the Beatles had no influence on the worst music? Of course they did, maybe more so. Let's be straight here, who are you talking about in particular?

all I can say is thinking about hearing new Shellac stuff sometimes helps me to transcend the 4 walls of my cubicle. _______________________________

another thought - what about Stephen Malkmus or Robert Pollard? The masses of slovenly drunken so-called creative types churning out god awful music played only on add week @ college radio must have felt more "empowered" with their "music" than they needed to be from all of those Matador brethren, dontcha think? _______________________________

Represent. Damning bands because of the ilk they spawn is sorta like damning Horatio Alger for every half-ass tire repair shop and hair salon.

I'd agree with SM and Cap'n Bob being responsible for some bad tunage, but the difference is nobody on rideside talks about those clowns.

My copy of Burn to Shine vol 2. Chicago Just came in the mail. First impressions on my partial viewing: Shellac: "Steady As She Goes" Sonically like their other stuff. If yr tired of the shellac formula, don't look for too many variations here. If you like rock solid repetitive rip yr face/skull drum/bass foundation with shrapnel in yr spine jangly guitar overlay peppered with start/stop dynamics, you will want to hear it. Wilco: J.Tweedy looks like he hasn't slept in years... The dynamics and arrangement / instrumentation on "Muzzle of Bees" is awesome, and I think Nels Cline's Helmetish guitar solo with lots of feedback/sheets of sound is an interesting added element to an already intriguing mixture of keys, acoustic guitars, bass, vocals etc that Wilco usually delivers. Video/Sound Quality: AMAZING. Supposedly shot in HD, so if you have a 16:9 Tv: LOOKOUT! (I saw it on a 4:3 Sony flat screen tube TV that has progressive scan inputs. - The mole on Todd trainer will scar you for life... seriously though, the colors such as the faded green that adorns the decaying wall of the soon-to-be-torn-down house in Chicago was some of the highest detail I have yet to see on my home setup. The audio is both in stereo and a seperate 5.1 surround presentation. I personally thought the 5.1 sounded a little processed, but the stereo was strong and clean. currently converting an audio copy through my minidisc player- give a holler if you'd like a CD-R copy to hear in yr car/walkman/whatever... _______________________________
