David Fricke sounds just like the prototypical hipster critic. “You just don’t get high art!”, “It’s more intelligent than you and you need to give the album many many many times to grow on you!” and all that lol. Well idk about you Mr. Fricke, but I’ll a good nice catchy power pop album over this pretentious nonsense any day of the week. 😎

If there's one takeaway from this clip, it's that David Fricke really, really, really does not like "cell phones."

amen

David Fricke, in 2001, talking about how our culture demands instant gratification. I'm glad we finally figured it out and learned to give things a moment to breathe. /s

Typical big label decision making!

Fricke seems like he would be a pretentious tool but his comments are actually way ahead of their time. We have gotten increasingly impatient and that sample phone call he talks about is so absurd yet common. Being there in 5 minutes doesn't mean anything. If you're only 5 minutes away it's pointless to convey that and communicate indirectly when you're so close to a genuine human connection. I find myself doing far worse in the 2020s with texting and stuff. Constant communication and impatience with people.

Brilliant just be there! I’ll be there

I came to terms with this a long time ago- once Ken and Jay left, it wasn’t Wilco anymore, it was the Jeff Tweedy Band. Watching that documentary 20 years ago turned my stomach off so much, that it affected the way I digested that record, it feels like the soundtrack to a funeral pyre. The controversy of the album overshadowed the music itself, and took the spotlight off there greatest record and masterpiece Summerteeth. They haven’t and will never eclipse the greatness of that album. It’s one of those records, the first opening track with Jay’s blaring mellotron part, that’s the record we should be celebrating.

Thank God someone recognized pure magic.

What exactly was Fricke’s rant about people on cell phones saying they’ll “be there in 5 minutes” about exactly? Is he saying you should never update whoever you are meeting concerning your ETA? His ever present smirk should be slapped off his face and the slapping should continue until his entire head is knocked out from under that hair helmet.

*Oh, Inverted World* please accept my sincerest *Apologies To The Queen Mary* for my recent *Antics* at the *Yankee Hotel Foxtrot* <3333

What is really sad is we have reached a point in music where we might never have bands like wilco ever again. Today you don't have to be creative or talented to make it. Music has become assembly line like with no creativity or talent required. As long as artists are willing to do what they are told and support whatever polical agenda they are told to support they will make money and become popular!! This leaves no room in the music industry for bands with actual musical talent and integrity to ever make it. You cant be creative and make music that isn't radio friendly. A band like wilco doesn't fit in any specific genre they don't care what the internet or the mainstream think about their music. They have always had integrity and made music unapologetically. I keep looking for new bands but unfortunately when the 90s ended so did music and that is what is really sad. I find myself looking forward to new music from the same bands that I've been into for 30 years and these bands are my only real salvation in music.

He is literally the singer from guitar hero 3

In 2018 I saw Jeff Beck. Fantastic show. I saw Robert Plant. Amazing. Then I saw Wilco. Best show of the year... on a Tuesday.

you're the guy working on my fridge I would telling "quit talking about it just fix it" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see what he means by allowing yourself the time to get something out of it, but yhft resonated with me immediately. I loved how I was receiving obvious emotions with almost jargonistic phrases. It’s like when a child tells a story. It may not make any sense in how they tell it, but the beauty and wonder of what they’re evoking reveals some type of ecstasy that develops in your mind naturally.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is a masterpiece.

I will purchase any music that David Fricke recommends, because I am frightened of his weird, gigantic teeth.

You have to listen to the album alot, when you do it feels like a part of your life everytime one of the songs start

this guy is a dumb arse...go AWAY already...

Millwood..........

I just listened to this album YHF for the first time. I really don't like it. I feel like I have to listen to it a few more times.
