Required listening for your Monday morning — the great Jonathan Lethem interviewed by the similarly great Andy Zax about Lethem’s new Fear of Music tome (for the ever-great Los Angeles Review of Books). The above-linked radio ad (sadly just an excerpt) is, I believe, the very same one discussed at length at the start of the book. Anyone have the complete version of the ad? I’m sure Andy does.
Want.

“So does Yankee Hotel Foxtrot justify the controversy, delay and buzz? Everyone, I think, already knows that the answer is yes; all I can offer is “me too” and reiterate. And after half a year living with a bootleg copy, the music remains revelatory. Complex and dangerously catchy, lyrically sophisticated and provocative, noisy and somehow serene, Wilco’s aging new album is simply a masterpiece; it is equally magnificent in headphones, cars and parties. And as anyone who’s seen the mixed-bag crowd at Wilco shows knows, it will find a home in the collections of hippies, frat boys, acid-eating prep schoolers, and the record store apparatchiks of the indiocracy. No one is too good for this album; it is better than all of us.” — Brent Sirota, getting it right on Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in Pitchfork upon its release. The record came out 10 years ago today. (via Kiehl)
