jim o’rourke eureka

if you haven’t heard of Jim O’Rourke then you haven’t been paying attention. Apparently he won a Grammy for producing Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. He also joined Sonic Youth on a few albums and eps. Oh yeah and he scored the movie Love Liza. i like that movie. Eureka, released by Drag City in 1999 was named after the 1984 Nicolas Roeg film of the same name. he named 3 more of his albums after Roeg films. you can read pitchforkmedia’s stupid review here. but don’t base your opinion on that idiots review. listen for yourself. i like this album a lot, but it is kind of all over the place. it’s both beautiful and strange.
