What Don said.
But what has really got my simple little mind all a-twist is how a band
rehashing many old sounds (Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, Beatles, etc.) can be
used to accuse people of being too static to accept a new horizon??
remember i am a Wilco sympathizer and applaud the new production.
(although Summerteeth IS starting to bore me). But it is funny to talk of
this being ground breaking when the High Llamas and a few other bands have
already been copying Brian Wilson for years and when the concept itself is
very retro.
oh well,
