Posted by mikewolf at June 15, 2004 10:41 PMi'm with you on the modest mouse. i listened to the new polly jean on the treadmill (dry and rid of me are really good for that), hoping for the best, but it ain't doing it for me so far. another couple listens may change my mind, though.

Best effing band in the world right now.
Posted by: Ken Goldstein on June 16, 2004 05:35 PMI too am glad to see you giving the Mouse another go. I haven't heard the new one yet though.

Posted by: deano on June 17, 2004 11:01 AMI'm sure people are going to bash the new Wilco, but it's rooting its way into my subconscious quite nicely. Mike, if you want to try before you buy (for once!), they're streaming it (QT) at http://www.wilcoworld.net.
Did you see 'em on Letterman last night? Tweedy was all frontman-like, sans guitar, prancing around. Kinda fun. The band still sounds great, no matter how many people come and go. The best compliment I can think of is that the newer stuff tends to be so dense and imaginative (at its best) that it makes his older recordings almost unlistenable.
Posted by: Vernam on June 17, 2004 12:31 PMalright. i listened again (and again). the new pj's good... i take it back!
Posted by: z. on June 21, 2004 05:32 PMmatt pond PA...my new favorite record of the year. Saw them last night at Knitting Factory. Live, not as fine as the album. But only Keane could do that with their computer backing tracks. Still rocked the house (yes, gently).
