To me it sounds like a direct continuation of Uncle Tupelo's style. Which isn't at all a bad thing and it contains a number of Farrar's best tunes imo. That being said I think Tweedy decidedly made a break from his sound in Uncle Tupelo right from the start. Nothing drastic on A.M. or Being There but definitely more than Son Volt.

Personally I would rank Being There through A Ghost is Born above any Son Volt album. And I'm even tempted to say A.M. is better as it's a personal favorite of mine. But I know from an objective point of view Trace is better. IMO Wilco and Son Volt are so far apart now it's almost futile to keep comparing them now.

It's better than most of Wilco's discog except maybe Summerteeth and YHF. Farrar was always a more talented songwriter and he should have stayed the main creative force in UT instead of letting Tweedy split the spotlight with him. I firmly believe Jay Bennett was a better songwriter than Tweedy as well which is why the albums with him are Wilco's best, especially the two aforementioned which feature Bennett songwriting credits on almost every fucking song.

Isn't that just what arguing is?

thanks for the bump, friend

forgot to mention; the best I managed to find was this fucking MIDI shit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7XdsLEs4Nk
I appreciate the work that was put into this, but it's still MIDI shit
so anything better than this would be appreciated

>>75106797
this only makes me question why anyone bothers with midi stuff in the first place

>>75105937
Why do you want that?

I have the tracks for a shitty cover of holland 1945 that someone on /mu/ did a while ago but I'm in bed so I ain't posting it. It's garbage though so don't worry

3. They were pretentious, academically trained art school hard ons who hopped on to the punk scene as a means of getting known, basically bandwagoners. The most intriguing songs in their catalogue (Guns of Brixton, The Magnificent Seven, Death Or Glory) aren't due to an all in all great album, but of the individual songs alone. In other words, their records contained mostly filler. One positive trait about them however they drifted from simplistic Punk music and went towards Ska, Latin, and Rockabilly, and how everybody called them sellouts because of this, but still stuck with it. This demonstrated their maturity, but they still suffered the flaws of any other typical local band playing in clubs: great attitude, but insufficient content. Overall, they had only two great albums (London Calling and their S/T Album), two mediocre ones (Give Em Enough Rope and Cut the ****) and two terrible ones (Sandinista! and Combat Rock) . Sandinista! had TMS and Police On My Back, and that's it, everything else on the album was dry. And as for Combat Rock, you seriously can't tell me that Rock The Casbah is a good song. In the end, Joe Strummer developed an ego, like most rockstars before and after him, which was responsible for the band's breakup.

Yeah, nah
Pic related is bumping

The whole "they went to art school" argument is such a weak, quintessentially British classist method of discrediting someone.

You see the same arguments used against bands like Blur, because they were middle class art school kids. The very fact that they came from relatively comfortable financial backgrounds and got a good education might mean that they lack the personal experiences of the disenfranchised, but it doesn't mean that they lack the capacity for empathy.
Furthermore, it's not as if The Clash were writing about being on the dole - they wrote about larger socioeconomic and cultural issues
that tend to effect nearly everyone in a society (though I agree with you that their ideas are by in large re-hashed and uninspired.)

This is what terrifies me most about going to an intimate concert; its like when you know you should not laugh though for some reason your brain starts to reprogram itself to come up with ludicrous thoughts that make it nigh impossible to stifle one's laughter. Not to blog though I remember going to a funeral and having to hold back my laughter because the eulogy stated that the deceased "always called a spade a spade" causing my painfully idiotic mind to picture him prowling the streets of London calling people n-s and the like (I'll admit to being too lazy to figure out whether the n-word is censored outside of /pol/). You feel awful in a way because it forces you to realize how rotten you are and the more you resist laughing the worse it becomes. Can't help but think that if I attended I'd burst into laughter the second Phil coughs or goes off-key and be unable to keep myself in check, its so pathetic but it really can't be helped, I swear!

Thank-you for the insight by the way anon, I wasn't quite sure as to what the demographic of Elverum's fanbase would be given the more rapid exposure from mainstream music publications, that being said I'm rather convinced that many who listened to A Crow Looked At Me most likely played it through once or twice and never touched it again - that is not to say that it is a poor album or lacking in quality though as has been said many times before it is not the sort of material one "enjoys", I'd argue it really to be more of an album that you listen for the experience rather than for the pleasure of the music, pretensions aside. Personally I didn't enjoy it at all and can't really see myself playing it again aside from the off-chance every couple of months or so, though credit to Phil nonetheless for making an album so immersive and visceral in emotional strength. Still the instrumentation is far too anemic for me (even if that is quite the point) and the album as a whole is like spending a holiday in Norilsk.

He seems like a rapist
