So I can't think of anything to post here, and since it's been a couple of days (ok, a week) I thought I'd post some lyrics.
A band that I really like that I've discovered recently is Wilco. They're out of Chicago and are theoretically in the genre of alt-country. I don't know what that means, their first album (which I don't have) is very country sounding, at least the clips I've heard. The next four move further and further away, they're like a folk-rock-pop-electronic-acid jazz kind of band.
I discovered them when they opened for, surprise, surprise, R.E.M. in 2003. I heard a couple of their songs on a webcast of an R.E.M. show, right before I went to go see them.
This song is from their 1999 album Summerteeth. It's called How to Fight Loneliness, I like the words and the melody and thought I'd share the lyrics. If you see me, and there's a guitar around, ask me and I'll play it (and sing too!).
How to Fight Loneliness
How to fight loneliness?
Smile all the time
Shine you teeth 'til meaningless
And sharpen them with lies
And whatever's going down
Will follow you around
That's how you fight loneliness
You laugh at every joke
Drag your blanket blindly
And fill your heart with smoke
And the first thing that you want
Will be the last thing you ever need
That's how you fight it
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time

DAYUM....looks like someone got SPAMMED!
btw...I was with you until I read the word "country"....
Sorry = )
Ain't no problem with COUNTRY, y'all...Boy you were spammed! Way to Go!
Yeah, but I hate country, so if I like this band, that says something. Mostly when I think of country I think of a dude singing about his woman running off with the dog so he gets drunk and screws the cow!
Great work!
