My 15-year-old and I are headed to the annual living room show on Saturday night. I’m curious what my kid thinks. He requested Bull Black Nova.

He has. And it’s amazing. I like it better solo acoustic than the plugged-in version.

After all that, we didn’t get Bull Black Nova. He played Mystery Binds (for the first time ever) instead. It was great.

I should listen more to Wilco. Used be one of the bands I listened to the most, but have barely paid attention to them in the last few years.

I am really enjoying the vibe of of “Sunlight Ends” and “A Bowl and a Pudding,” and am loving “Meant to Be” — this is probably the one song on here where it feels like the songwriting is on equal footing with the production. Other than that, unfortunately “no emotion” feels like a pretty apt characterization of how I felt listening to this. I’m not familiar with Cate le Bon but reading the above makes me think that she probably espouses some artistic philosophies that I just don’t identify with.

One thing I don’t care for on seemingly all recent Wilco records is the drum sound — it feels so papery and stiff. Is this an aesthetic choice or is it something inherent to Kotche’s playing style?
This was a misleading first impression. I’ve been listening to this the past couple days (got a physical copy for Christmas), and I am finding myself completely sucked into it — as a collection of soundscapes at first, but they turn out to be soundscapes that mature, emotionally sophisticated songs slowly but surely blossom out of. This was more or less my experience with Ode to Joy too so I should really just learn to trust the process with these guys.
