Angst-ridden neo-folkie consumers of Diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes, rejoice. The new Wilco album now has a title -- A Ghost is Born -- and a release date: June 8.
The next few months are so full of exciting releases -- this album, the Magnetic Fields LP, a Palace Music anthology, the Iron and Wine sophomore release -- that I'm starting a temporary category on my main index to keep track of them all. (Feel free to let me know about albums I should add to the list.) I'll also be stopping by Chad's Records with increasing regularity, which is information of less benefit to you unless you are currently stalking me.

Posted by: ron at February 20, 2004 02:02 PMThe Creek Drank the Cradle really is wonderful. It's my winter album of choice: there's a stark warmth to its sound that reminds me (forgive the cheese) of a crackling fire.

I'd echo every thing you say.
But I'm just me;
I'm only me;
And you used to love me that way.
Heard Stephin Merrit on a nearly mainstream station recently, and all but pulled the car over. Am eagerly awaiting the new album's release.
Have inexplicable lacunae where subject pronouns would be expected.
