albums of the decade - 62 Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

62 Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002)

This album is pretty new to me so I'd rather write about the two people who have shaped my recent appreciation towards Wilco:

Jimmy Fuller: Likes to call alcoholic drinks "oozie boozies". Likes women and does very well with them, though he wouldn't admit it. James went to watch Wilco in London the night after I saw them in Leeds in Octo 09 (just 2 weeks before writing this). Inspired the whole getting wasted while watching Wilco thing which resulted in screaming "Yea Boi!!!" loads at Jeff Tweedy. Fuller is commonly known in call centres as "The Incredible Sulk" after the French footballer Nicolas Anelka because he gets sales on his own terms, just like Anelka will erratically score goals. Is a good long distance runner having ran a half-marathon in the past. Is good fun on a balcony overlooking Brighton, not smoking, looking down below, when everyone else is smoking and shit.

Owen Brown: The creator of Mr. Fuck (see pic below), this brute has probably made me laugh more than anyone else ever and I can't describe why. Extremely liberal, yet very set in his ways, this motherfucker's hobbies include having a nice bath, cooking a nice gammon and screaming "Yea Boi!" during Wilco gigs. Likes to break up fights. Likes to play fight when drunk. Likes to have a verbal fight without playing devils advocate. Likes to gobble up a good rhubarb crumble once in a while and still fancies Eva! Aight!
