    I don't know which I am. I'm a half-full guy when life is going well and a half-empty guy when life sucks. How's that for an easy answer? :)

    Excellent analysis. And I agree about the glass needing more beer. I've never seen the glass that doesn't.

    Weird to consider, with all of the contributions Matt brings in terms of songwriting and how he infects the sound with sharp rigidness, whereas Jack let it roll a bit more. They would have been different, certainly.

    Square peg, round hole. It will fit if you smash it in. ;)

    Very interesting. I must admit, I'm more than a little curious what the follow up to YIELD would have been had Jack stuck around. I know a lot of people love Bimaural around here, but for me it's always left me feeling like I'm in search of something more. But, to be fair, they had just finished making the greatest album of all time, so I'm not sure how they should have followed it up. :)

    haha, well, yeah.
    I guess I just mean that his songs are very angular, in a way...Unemployable, what have you, there's such a stop and start, and this direction and that direction, which is very cool...and I dig the Wellwater stuff, but I think Jack just kinda sat back and let it flow, then hit his spots when they came.
    Matt's much more of a human metronome both in his playing and the sounds he creates.

    And there's points to both styles.

    Touche. We wouldn't learn anything about ourselves without the bad times, either.

    The thing about YIELD, though, is that it definitely offers something for everyone, no matter how full (or empty) their glass is at the moment. I've always found that to a particularly remarkable truth.

    The difference between Jack and Matt:

    "So if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that. If I ask you about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy."

    Rawk on, brothers.
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    Next to Corduroy, I think DTE is Ed's pet song.

    I agree. There HAS to be a good job SOMEWHERE in Des Moines, doesn't there???

    And by good job, I clearly mean "job where they let you post on message boards all day."

    I kinda catch myself hoping that Faithfull turns into the new Present Tense, a song that didn't originally get a lot of play but then turned into a bit of a staple. I know, I know....it takes away a little bit of the 'specialness' of getting to hear it, but goddamn...when they played it in Cleveland, it just tore me apart. A fucking GREAT song to hear live.
