Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[SKT]

@popvulture I bet that record store gig was a great experience. And I totally do the same thing with those Wilco albums. Being There to maybe Wilco (the album) was a hell of a creative run. And Summerteeth sneaks in as an incredible album too that often gets overshadowed by YHF. Anyway, those records are the soundtrack to my young adulthood and I love em all.

@SKT said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

Summerteeth

Might actually be my fave.....

[SKT]

@GraemeE I wouldn’t argue with you

[GraemeE]

@SKT there is something magical Jay Bennet brings to the table right before he goes down in a ball of flames on Yankee

[popvulture]

I love Summerteeth so much. The creative buildup from Being There to YHF is incredible, such a cool arc. Of course AGIB gets even more creative in plenty of ways, but I just love that trio as a progression.

Let’s not forget the Loose Fur stuff. Weird little incubator.

@popvulture fuck man

We might need to start a dedicated thread

A 3-4 person circle jerk

I'll steer us back from wilco worm hole with tonights listening

Hell yeah man, love that one. Took me forever to find a copy.

[SKT]

@GraemeE dammit…looks like you guys are going to make me branch out.

[popvulture]

@SKT there’s a good chance you’re well aware of it, but have you heard Loose Fur? Tweedy’s side project with Jim O’Rourke and Glenn Kotche. Their first record’s sort of a precursor to YHF — some sketch elements of the latter’s songs show up on it. I love the second one though, really sort of a precursor to Sky Blue Sky, but a little scuzzier in places and O’Rourke brings this cool sort of Nilsson/Bacharach-y balladeer element to it. Crazy good.

[popvulture]

Couldn’t resist

[SKT]

@popvulture I’ve known of Loose Fur but never taken the time to listen. Will remedy that…sounds totally interesting

[GraemeE]

@SKT the time for you to partake has come

That born again album @popvulture has is probably my favorite

Edit: if you make it that far next step on your stations of the cross journey should be O'rourkes 2 solo records around that time that kotche and tweedy (he was only on one i think ) played on

[popvulture]

So good. I feel like O’Rourke is totally a latter day John Cale, with that same sweet spot of amazing chamber pop amidst the overall avant-ness. I’m gonna put on Eureka next.

The artwork though.....

[popvulture]

Hahaha it’s so excellent

[popvulture]

Now something completely different from some neighbors in the O section…

[popvulture]

Continuing the 90s Brit guitar god theme with this truly bizarre bootleg pressing. I have no idea what I’d call this color — “Squeeze of the Bar Rag?” Maybe “Vomit Au Lait?” Reminds me of being 8 and throwing everything in the blender.

You guys challenged me with the pedigree analysis round Wilco. Tried to follow!
When seeing there is a cross connection to ‚Tortoise‘, I love since following this thread, there was some relief. Great work!!

With OCS and Stone Roses I am back on track .

[GraemeE]

The Chicago connection
Love this Tortoise album.
