Wilco - The Leak

Following the leak yesterday of the Wilco newie (due to be physically released on June 30th) the band have started streaming the album at their website here.
For anyone who has got it already the band said “If you have downloaded the record, we suggest you make a donation to one of the band’s favorite charities, the Inspiration Corporation — an organization we’ve supported in the past & who are doing great work in the city of Chicago."
My initial thoughts, much stronger overall than 'Sky Blue Sky' but one thing is there is still not enough utilisation of the wilder sounds of Nels Cline on the record.

Profile of the artist: Isao HASHIMOTO

Born in Kumamoto prefecture, Japan in 1959.

"This piece of work is a bird's eye view of the history by scaling down a month length of time into one second. No letter is used for equal messaging to all viewers without language barrier. The blinking light, sound and the numbers on the world map show when, where and how many experiments each country have conducted. I created this work for the means of an interface to the people who are yet to know of the extremely grave, but present problem of the world."
