Sky blue sky  Wilco's latest CD, Sky Blue Sky, is getting rather mixed reviews. The Post was especially lukewarm:“Wilco's sixth studio album, "Sky Blue Sky," can be described in many ways...But here's one that may be most accurate -- kind of boring.” You decide; click on the Listen button on the Sky Blue Sky web page.

One thing seems clear, cigarette smoking is taking a heavy toll on Jeff Tweedy's voice. It's likely doing the same to his lungs.

As with most groups that reach a certain peak, it's not surprising that the press have become much more critical; it's part of the celebrity cycle. Or maybe they watched the recent documentary of Tweedy's solo performances in the Northwest, Sunken Treasure. It was pretty boring; Jeff was obsessed with crowd noise and spent way too much time venting about it.
