Re: (TV) Futureheads / Wilco OT

I'm with you on this Andy. I was 'underwhelmed' on the first few listens 
but stuck with it and  it has revealed its treasures slowly.  I think 
everyone expected that the addition of Nels would take them further 
along the curve started by YHF and Ghost but instead its a collection of 
fantastic songs with a lot happening back in the mix. I love it. Also 
despite Nels  avant credentials -and there's buckets of edgy stuff out 
there - we all know that Wilco is Jeff Tweedy's gig.

BTW did anyone catch The Only Ones on tour? I would rank it as the best 
'reunion gig' I've seen next to our boys.  Has meant I've had their back 
catalogue on heavy rotation ever since. Must piss them off that they are 
forever associated with Another Girl Another Planet when there many more 
equally brilliant songs.

Cheers

Graham
