new tunes Tuesday. Round 16. second Wilco schoolin'

album number 2, Being There, came out only a year and a half after their first (kind of) tank, A.M., to much critical success – it begins to touch on experimentation, darker imagery, and thoughts outside of their initial alt-country pigeon hole. while a few of my favorite Wilco songs hail from this here album, i again, (i’ll be sounding like a pretty weak fan after Rounds 1 and 2 - much high praise will be coming with later albums, i SWEAR) i am not super duper crazy album numero dos. it’s polished, about 6 songs too long, the songs are short, some are even peppy (gross), and only a handful of songs display Wilco’s true potential. definitely on their way, though.

and check them out sounding twangy on this number.
