An Ecumenical Matter

Wilco subgenius Jeff Tweedy's side-project Loose Fur, with Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche and Sonic Youth noise maker Jim O'Rourke lands in your record store today. Guess what I'm going to recommend that you do? Buy it!

Why buy it? Well, it's good music. It's been spinning in the O'Brien household all morning and we love it. Need another good reason? It's Jeff Tweedy. Solid songwriting, fun songs and because it's Loose Fur it takes some interesting musical side streets throughout. And, hey, who knew Jim O'Rourke could sing so tenderly? This disc could easily become your soundtrack for Spring (if the snow ever freaking melts).

Still not convinced? Man, you're a tough sell. Okay, how about a sample of one of the most head-bobbingly addictive songs I've heard in a while:
