The eighth album from the loose creative collective/serious drinking association helmed by wayfarer and musical enabler Scott McCaughey. This one is called Killingsworth. A recording worthy of the murders committed during its genesis? Perhaps. Incoherent yarns mostly told after midnight by highway hobos in and around Portland, Oregon? Surely. Killingsworth features an incarnation of The Minus 5 including apparatus support poles 'McOi,' Peter Buck and John Moen (Decemberis   [ read more ]

Nicknamed "the gun album" (because a firearm appears on the album's cover and pops up in the lyrics of several of the songs), 2006's The Minus 5 finds Scott McCaughey indulging his passion for British Invasion-era pop stuff (not an uncommon development), with an all-semi-star collection of friends and collaborators helping to put it on tape, including Peter Buck, Jeff Tweedy, Colin Meloy, John Wesley Harding, Ken Stringfellow, Kelly Hogan, and even Morgan Fisher (yeah, the o   [ read more ]

Against all odds, it is perhaps the seventh full-lengther in a career marked primarily by catastrophe, shame and fisticuffs. (Leave triumphs to those that beseech them.) This record could not have happened without the superhuman efforts of Scott McCaughey. Even though Mr. McCaughey had the assistance of the usual horde of ragtag bandoleros (see below), it was Scott who hung the notes on the staff, gathered the orchestra (paying triple union scale, out of pocket), set up a microphone, manufactured the record   [ read more ]

No one knows just what would happen if Scott McCaughey happened to have a few weeks to himself with nothing to do musically, largely because he seems determined to prevent that from ever happening. An example: in January 2000, while McCaughey was waiting out the delays that postponed the release of the Minus 5/Young Fresh Fellows split album Let the War Against Music Begin, he got word that the much-loved Chicago venue Lounge Ax was going to close, and he joined the parade of artists who t   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. The Minus 5, the pop collective formed by Scott McCaughey of the Young Fresh Fellows, is back with a new CD, "Down With Wilco." Departing from McCaughey's historic process of recording basic parts and gathering additional recorded pieces from participants, "Down With Wilco" is a much more collaborative effort. Along with recurrent participants, R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and Ken Stringfellow of the Posies, "Down With Wilco," of course, features Wilco members Jeff Tweedy, John Stirrat, Glenn Kotche, a   [ read more ]

The band that perpetually creates anachronistic music in a far, distant future returns to the present to revisit a past collaboration. Evil mastermind Scott McCaughey and his sonic frontiersmen are joined by the uber-handsome members of Wilco as they create 7 tracks previously unreleased on compact disc and a video for "The Town That Lost Its Groove Supply." The venerable CNN calls him "the unstoppable man of music." Not to outdone -- Scott calls himself one of "three of the greatest songwriters of our time   [ read more ]

PETER BUCK (R.E.M.), KEN STRINGFELLOW (POSIES), JEFF TWEEDY (WILCO), JON AUER, and a cast of thousands join forces under the moniker MINUS 5 and set flight to fifteen tracks of pure roots rock (difficult to fathom, I know) from the now infamous Let The War Against Music Begin sessions. Why these tracks were left off the original is a mystery to all involved.
