    “Reservations” is the sound of skyscrapers swaying (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Paste will be publishing essays about Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Seven days before Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was released in full on Wilco’s website, the Twin Towers were disemboweled by hijacked Boeing airplanes. Most people know the story: Jeff Tweedy initially hoped for a September 11 release date, but record label delays and MP3 leaks prevented it. But it didn’t matter when Wilco’s fourth album came out. The “tall buildings shake, voices escape singing s

    Julia Jacklin has finally caught up to herself (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Seven years ago, Julia Jacklin dropped Crushing and cemented herself as an architect of our current singer-songwriter milieu. “Head Alone,” “Pressure to Party,” and “Don’t Know How to Keep Loving You” detonated back-to-back-to-back in the track order, and their passions and crises seemed to spill from the pen of a middle-aged folklorist, not a 29-year-old Aussie going through a breakup. Not to mention Jacklin was proving herself to be an equally conversationalist guitarist on a record that large

    DJ Shadow built Endtroducing..... from what the world left behind (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I knew the cover before I knew the album. Two dudes in a record store, backs turned to each other, pulling vinyl from the bins. One’s face is blurred, the other stands near a cat just out of frame. It’s a photograph full of details, like Jeremy Shatan’s on the front of Paul’s Boutique, but beneath the hype stickers, it’s just a picture. No name, no title. Endtroducing….. reflected, in DJ Shadow’s own words, “where I grew up”: Sacramento, at Records, near the K Street Mall. Shadow wanted a visual

    Weezer has outlived the jokes (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Weezer’s longevity confounds me, in large part because the band has become such a font of cultural antipathy. It’s almost cooler to hate them than to love them—a warranted reaction because of nadirs like Van Weezer, the Black Album, and Pacific Daydream, or their covers of “Africa” and “No Scrubs.” But pop and country music dominating the aggregates hasn’t stopped Weezer from selling out tours, producing combative rock records, and headlining multi-night festivals. The pantheon doesn’t quite kno

    Angela Autumn carries Appalachia with her (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Angela Autumn spent most of her childhood alone in the woods near the Allegheny River, picking at her guitar, learning the songs her hippie parents were into: Neil Young, John Denver, the like. Her mother played didgeridoo and sold handmade gourd instruments across the state line in Boardman, Ohio. Autumn sang hymns at church two, three times a week but moved away from Catholicism during her early bluegrass pursuits. “I feel that music is inherently spiritual and so, therefore, if I’m channeling
