Insignificance is one of the best musical statements of all time, without a doubt. I met Glenn Kotche recently and had a really hard time not fanning out, but I did tell him how much I loved all his playing, especially on this and any of his & JO's collabs. Loose Fur!

indeed

One of my favorite concerts was when he opened for Stereolab and then he joined them on the stage for the encore it was awesome.

there is no god

@@surrealchemist what the fuck! no!?

@@surrealchemist I feel like I would have been just as happy with my life not knowing that happened and that i missed that

because he is an anti-social misanthrope lol have you heard any of his songs?

perpetually underrated!

One of the greats!

I sing and play drums simultaneously and I've found over the years I've gotten better at matching my singing voice to the playing style of the song/part. He's bashing the guitar the entire time and I don't think he sings enough ('tis a shame) to have a ton of breath/energy control to be able to use a quiet voice while strumming voraciously at the guitar. Just my theory.

I would have been convulsing!

awesome nick mate =)

pro shit... i laughed for like a minute

either the Yamaha SA-60 or SA-90

+Jared Kelly do it do it do it do it do it

hell of a drummer

It is Glenn Kotche

Kotche played on a few of O'Rourke's records (Eureka, Halfway to a Threeway and Bad Timing). From what I recall O'Rourke recommended Kotche to Tweedy and Wilco around the time they were starting to record YHF.

@@ericmarth Both Jim and Glenn played with Tweedy in Loose Fur before recording YHF.

Yep, and the introduction happened a few months before YHF sessions started, right? Ken Croomer was still in Wilco, then. There are a few demos out there from the beginning of the YHF sessions with Croomer on I Am Trying to Break Your Heart. I’m pointing out that O’Rourke connected Tweedy and Kotche.

Yep!

Funny you say that. O'Rourke worked as a music supervisor on School of Rock (Starring Jack Black, of course)

@@ericmarth and even funnier, the lead actress, Miranda Cosgrove, went on to become a mediocre pop musician, saying she had to "unlearn" everything Jim O'Rourke taught her for School Of Rock

bucket hat. very popular in japan & korea, but available everywhere.
