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.

Premature Evaluation: of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping

Skeletal Lamping is anything but skeletal. When we took a close listen to album closer "Id Engager" we mentioned it wasn't the strangest, most ambitious, or best tune on of Montreal's new one, but after absorbing the other 14 tracks,...
