Adult Head by Jeff Tweedy

I did enjoy this. For the most part at least.
It was really an odd experience, reading what amounted to Wilco lyrics without the music. It's nonsensical at times, and if you think too hard about the words and the cadence these poems will fall apart. BUT if you just read them and let your mind wander around in them, its got something special you can feel.
I know I'm coming off as a crystal-gripping-hippie for all that, but it is something I like about Tweedy's lyrics... The are more about how they -sound- and how that makes you feel than what the exact words are. These poems are quite a bit like his lyrics, in fact some bits and pieces of them have ended up in songs on albums.
