Slow States

"It is veneer, rouge, aestheticism, art museums, new theaters, etc. that make America impotent. The good things are football, kindness, and jazz bands."
-George Santayana

  • Slow States Wilco Project #37: Pot Kettle Black

    Devon Edwards (@Devon2012) just picked up Wilco, which inspired me to post one more of these.  Maybe two, even.  It’s not like there’s a lot to write about on the football front, anyway.  Slow States!

    Anyway, “Pot Kettle Black” is one of the few songs from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot that I don’t have ranked higher than everyone else.  Grovich has it higher than anyone, probably because it’s as close to the melodic pop of Summerteeth that YHF gets.  There’s not a whole lot here that is particularly revelatory, but it somehow manages to bridge the gap between the band’s AM radio sensibility and bleepy-bloopy tendencies better than anything else.  It’s also a genuinely entertaining song.  Good enough.
