I predict Company In My Back will grow on you.
Wilco part deux
and where is kicking television?
is that an O'Rourke song?

I was wondering the same thing. I seem to remember it was listed as a track in some pre-release, pre-rehab press.

i downloaded the album about 2 months ago and really disliked company in my back at first…i like it much better now than the first time i heard it.
kidsmoke sounded a bit different than the first time i heard it live (at the DAR show with Sonic Yoth). i'll admit that they probably could have knocked off a minute or two but it doesn't grate on my nerves nearly as much as the noise at the end of less than you think, which is a beautiful song minus the noise.
songs i would have liked to hear on this album:
(1) kicking television - definitely…this song is fantastic live. they played it at the Vic show. bummer they didn't bust it out in dc.
(2) cars can't escape - pretty amazing song. they had it streaming on their website a few weeks ago and were just "dusting it off". i have a copy of it if anyone's interested. maybe we can look forward to this one on the next album.
(3) be not so fearful - i can't believe that wilco's never recorded this one. it's an old bill fay song (the original blows me away…and to think that hardly anyone has heard of this guy; they sing it briefly before a gig (a capella i believe) in the documentary IATTBYH. i heard loose fur do it live in brooklyn and it tore my heart out.
that's my wilco geek-out for the day.

btw…tweedy wrote kicking television (at least the lyrics). i'm guessing o'rourke had some influence on the instrumentation.
