What I'm Listening To: Wilco

Wilco's latest album, Sky Blue Sky. It's so beautiful, melancholy yet upbeat and uplifting. It plays like all the great records that end up going perfectly with anything. The quirky Wilco-isms that obfuscate their earlier stuff has been melted away, and the result this awesome whole record of crystal clear, really elegant rock songs. Definitely worth picking up as a last-minute christmas present or cashing in on that itunes gift card.
