Not that you should need any help, but here’s something to get you revved up to start the week – Wilco’s wonderfully Stonesy (wouldn’t you love to hear what Keef could do with that guitar break?) “Monday”.
As fictional band names go, the World Record Players is pretty fabulous.

No disrespect to the late Jay Bennett or any of the other members during the creation of Being There, but the current lineup is superior in terms of talent. You can listen to Nels’ take on Monday at the link above…highly recommend the whole show.

Nels may have better technical chops, but Wilco has gone downhill since he joined. He’s a jazz jamband snooze fest, if you ask me. That and Tweedy got sober.

Ouch … if sides must be chosen, I’m sticking with Son Volt every time. Too many goofy pop vibes in there for this rustler.

Though I don’t dislike any of it, I lean more towards Son Volt, too, TLS, but given my druthers I think prefer Uncle Tupelo to either one.

Yes. I’ll take Uncle Tupelo as well.

Agreed on the band name! And to follow it up with the line “Charlie fixin’ his van with a left arm tan” is pretty fabulous too.
