No it doesnt mean his new stuff isnt good. I enjoyed Sea Change. But Odelay is more country inspired.
Your welcome for the history lesson. I could talk about this shit all day.

Ive always been a massive fan of Billy Bragg, then he did the album with Wilko and I started to get into it from there.
Although the primal Scream album Give Out But Don't Give Up , probabally started the facination

what did you think of the new (relatively) wilco album?
Must admit it was a bit too out there for me, but then again yankee took many listens to grow on me now I love it.
Sea change rock-sawed, i find it so depressing though, i can rarely listen to the whole thing in one go.

The new Wilco is alright. It hasnt been on my playlist half as much as Yankee though, so that has to say something. Its alot more jammy and noisey than the older stuff. I think thats because of Jim ORourke (of Sonic Youth and also mixed Yankee) interacting more with Jeff Tweedy. It is a decent album thought but a notch below Yankee I feel.
And on the subject of Wilco have you seen the Im Trying to Break Your Heart movie? Ive watched that a bunch of times just for the solo Tweedy performances.

Yeah, my housemate bought it on dvd, when i first watched it it really tore me apart. admitably i was pretty wasted at the time, but it was such a beautiful human story and yeah the musical tracks were awesome.
I like a good music documentary too. Around the same time I watched gigantic - the they might be giants doco, awesome. They are one of my fav bands and very inetersting and creative people.
