Yah, dood.
@NR ... if you aren't versed in Minus 5 get yourself versed.
Cult band, but goddamn good. Ornate is right. Peter Buck of REM is a frequent collaborator. See also: Young Fresh Fellows.
Minus 5 and YFL are big in the Pacific Northwest, with Scott McCaughey hailing from Portland and the "band" having connections with other established Northwest acts like the Posies.
Down with Wilco does have moments that sound like Wilco (see the aforementioned "The Family Gardener"), because it was technically a collaboration between the two bands, though not a 50/50 one. It's definitely a Minus 5 record, and definitely not a Wilco one, but it's very worth hearing, whether you think it sounds like Wilco or not.
