The Rip-Off: Featuring The Cure and Wilco

This particlar edition of "The Rip-Off" features two of my favorite bands of all time - The Cure and Wilco.

And while I will defend both Jeff Tweedy and Robert Smith to my dying breath, there is more than just a minor simularity between these two tracks.

First up, The Cure with "In Between Days"

And now, Wilco with Pot Kettle Black

Wilco Releases New Album

Normally I'm not that fired up about bands releasing albums. There's a handful of artists that still have the ability to create something new and that number seems to dwindle each and every year.

I would have to say that Wilco is close to the top of the list, along with Tool, Steve Earl, and Robert Plant.

Wilco's new album just arrived and it's some of Tweedy's finest work since Hotel Yankee Foxtrot.

And speaking of, here's my favorite cut off that album.
