Ashes of American Flags will be out in April. Wilco is such a great band, I’m always surprised that they aren’t really famous. They’ve got the troubled lead singer, the controversy with labels, the drastic changes from album to album, and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, which I believe is one of the best albums of the decade. Thanks to Critical Acclaim for the trailer.
I wonder why we listen to poets, when nobody gives a fuck,
How hot and sorrowful, this machine begs for luck
All my lies are always wishes,
I know I would die if I could come back new
Wilco – Ashes of American Flags
You know, I think Wilco is pretty well-known. You’re right though, I’m not sure whether famous is the right word, but I think a lot of people at least know who Wilco is. The problem is that A LOT of people are just sleeping on them. I’m talking some real Rip Van Winkle shit, not just a quick catnap or nothing. It took me a little while to get into them myself, but I agree, I think Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is one of the greatest albums of the decade too.
