Tonight Tonight in Music: Twin Sister, Ava Luna, Lemolo, Wilco, White Denim
Posted by Mike Ramos on Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 8:16 AM
Twin Sister, Ava Luna, Lemolo
(Vera Project) See Underage.
Wilco, White Denim
(Paramount) Jeff Tweedy's ability to write a song that so perfectly captures the bajllion kinds of sadness one person can feel in a lifetime is both rare and annoying. Have a depressingly unrequited crush on someone? "We're Just Friends." In love with a fucked-up person who's carrying a lot of baggage? "Reservations." Have baggage of your own? "Please Be Patient with Me." Wilco's sad songs are so great at being sad songs, in fact, it causes me to completely disregard what they're even better at, which is writing sunny, Americana-laced pop songs like "Heavy Metal Drummer" and "I'm the Man Who Loves You." I want to listen to them over and over again! But Wilco's bummer ballads make it feel so good to be sad, why would you ever want to cheer up? MEGAN SELING
