I\'ve been listening to Kicking Television today.. It\'s great. Nels definitely adds so much, most obvious in Company in My Back. I like their live sound overall.

And Yankee Hotel has grown on me a ton, sang their tunes all night during work. I guess I\'m coming around to understanding people\'s love, I just don\'t see myself ever being as in love.

So basically, to get all the Wilco hype, one has to listen to it around the clock in order to cultivate a love for it?

No, I just had to get past being super-critical and skeptical because of the hype. When I took the disc out and went about my business I realized that I sincerely wanted to listen more.

However I got into Ween some time 4-5 months ago and despite major hype I loved most of their stuff upon first listen.

So who knows? It\'s all in the grey area. I enjoy Wilco and am happy that I do now because there\'s plenty of unheard material.

I hear ya, the hype alone makes me what the hate it, but it\'s actually not bad.

Someone tried to get me into Uncle Tupelo and Wilco many years ago, though I never listened to the disks at the time once I caught a description of the music.

Ween Ownz faces. If you haven\'t listened to them much I would recommend not listening to them at all, buying tickets to the next show in your area and getting right up in front. That is, if you like face-melting guitar solos.

Yeah Ween is **** fantastic.. Best show I\'ve seen in a looooong time. They jumped to the #2 spot on my \'bands I can\'t wait to see next\' list.

Buy Quebec!!!
