This is probably my favorite Wilco song, although I haven't had a chance to get my grubby fingers on their newest album "A Ghost is Born." (I'm pretty sure that's the title.. Anyway) Not that it matters. It'd be nearly impossible to do better than Hotel. (Sorry Wilco, that album is just too fuckin' awesome.)
Anyhow, I'm not sure what it is about this song that I like so much-- I think Poor Places, etc. are better lyrically, but this one is catchy, I suppose. It gets stuck in my head for days on end. (Well, so did "Uncle Walter" by Ben Folds Five, and there's nothing extraordinary about that song, though it's good.)
Man. I honestly don't know what it is. I don't really understand the lyrics, but I love them.
Some of it's easy-- life is crazy, self-searching, self-apathy, refusal to be hypocritical.

What a bittersweet sound.
