that wild, high-mercury sound

wilco's new album "a ghost is born" finally comes out today. being that wilco is one of my favorite bands of all time, i'm excited to get it as soon as best buy opens its doors. it will be interesting to see what kind of music jeff tweedy made while constantly popping perscription pain killers. i'm sure it was also a lot of pressure coming off of yankee hotel foxtrot, an album in which the band almost completely redefined theirselves. it's almost like having to endure the "sophmore slump" all over again. and to me, it just feels like christmas morning!! how thpecial.
