Geof’s New Music: 3-9 Jun 2007
I’m back to more bootlegs this week, but with one studio release thrown in, given to me by a friend:
The Awkward Romance’s AudioBio.- 22 Jan 1982 [Greensboro, NC, USA] concert bootleg of R.E.M.
- 14 Jul 1989 [Philadelphia, PA, USA] concert bootleg of Garth Brooks.
- 23 Jun 1999 [London, England] concert bootleg of Wilco.
- 6 May 2000 [Los Angeles, CA, USA] concert bootleg of Beck.
- 17 Dec 2000 [Chicago, IL, USA] concert bootleg of Jeff Tweedy.
- 28 May 2007 [Stuttgart, Germany] concert bootleg of Wilco.
Last week was quite enjoyable overall:
M. Ward’s To Go Home EP. I bought this because 1) I’m a completionist and 2) I wanted a studio version of “Cosmopolitan Pap”. This gets four stars overall.
Sloan’s Never Hear the End of It. It’s just plain good, straightforward, brief pop songs—30 on a full-length disc. It’s witty and well-timed. I like it. Four stars.
Wilco’s Sky Blue Sky. Feels like summer. Four stars.- 20 Nov 1996 [Toronto, ON, CA] concert bootleg of Jeff Tweedy. I sound like a broken record, but this is good but not great. Three stars.
- 30 Jul 2000 [San Francisco, CA, USA] concert bootleg of Wilco. It has some highlights, but it’s pretty standard Wilco fare from that era. Three-and-a-half stars.
- 5 Jun 2003 [Hoboken, NJ, USA] concert bootleg of Elliott Smith. Pretty good. Three stars.
- 28 Nov 2005 [Indianapolis, IN, USA] concert bootleg of Son Volt. Egad, this recording is just not any good. One-and-a-half stars.

Not only have I been very busy at work, but then my laziness made for a server exploit that I’ve been working on fixing for the last four hours [and have several more left to go]. :sigh:
