you make it easy

I just downloaded the new Golden Smog, which came out this morning but was not on iTunes until about an hour ago (why? WHY?). It rocks my world. If you don't believe me, you can listen to some tracks on their myspace page. The title track is fantastic, as is the "5-22-02" single, which has to be the most definitive "this-is-what-happens-when-you-merge-Wilco-and-the-Jayhawks" track ever.

As for their touring schedule, it's kindof, um, limited, so oh well for that. At least I get to see Wilco soon. And perhaps next time the Golden Smog won't make us wait EIGHT YEARS for a new album.
