The Song Fight Bulletin Board

There's a word in some foreign tongue for the phenomena of, having newly learned a word, seeing it everywhere; I found out about Jim O'Rourke a few months ago and now I see him everywhere. He's part of Loose Fur (with Jeff Tweedy), and accordingly has worked with Wilco on A Ghost Is Born and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, he's remixed the Pastels and Tortoise, produced Superchunk, and he was in Sonic Youth for a while, too, before amicably splitting.

He has several solo albums, which are accessibly experimental. The one I'd recommend above all else is Eureka, which has some just great ambience and tracks.

And was in Gastr del Sol. Yeah, he's basically God and Jesus Christ.
