i'm only sleeping

Thanks for sharing! I'm always in Love for Summerteeth

The cover of the september issue of Ruta 66, THE Spanish rock magazine, is for Mavis; http://ruta66mag.com/

Is he wearing a shirt of the Spanish soccer team? Wilco was in Spain when they won the soccer world trophy

I wonder which Kinks cover he sang [“You’re Not Alone,” a Kinks cover, and dozens more" http://www.twentyfourbit.com/post/733819141/jeff-tweedy-single-ladies-video-beyonce]

Something in the way he sings

Attracts me like no other singer

Something in the way he moves me...

My guess is that it's "So Much Wine," the Handsome Family cover.

 

I had nothing to say on Christmas day when you threw all your clothes in the snow.

When you burnt your hair, knocked over chairs, I just tried to stay out of your way.

But when you fell asleep with blood on your teeth, I got in my car and drove away.

 

Listen to me, Butterfly, there's only so much wine you can drink in one life

and it will never be enough to save you from the bottom of your glass.

 

Where the state highway starts I stopped my car.

I got out and stared up at the stars.

As meteors died and shot cross the sky, I thought about your sad, shining eyes.

I came back for my clothes when the sun finally rose but you were still passed out on the floor.

Yes, that's it! How could I forget about "there's only so much wine you can drink in one life"? I drank too much...beer.

Thank you

Jeff sang a song he presented as "a song you probably never have heard of" in his solo set in Madrid, Spain, 7-7- 2010. A beautiful, B-T-esque song. I only remember that the word 'christmas' was in the first strophes. But no reference to it in the Spanish reviews of the show I've read(e.g. http://www.elpais.com/articulo/cultura/Enorme/Jeff/Tweedy/elpepucul/20100708elpepucul_3/Tes). My feeling is that is a "Mavis song"

I would like that Tweedy re-record his vocal parts in YHF. He sings so much better nowadays...

Such a cool article. She sounds totally down to earth and genuinely enthusiastic about working with Jeff and the rest of Wilco. This has got to be an invigorating and renewing experience for Jeff.

 

BTW, anybody notice that the photo was by Spencer? (I'm vaguely ashamed of myself for reading the blog of a 14 year old kid, but he is really remarkable!)

I agree on both. Fantastic interview by the way. Will Jeff improve Ry Cooder's last collaboration with Mavis?

"Es oficial: no se puede sonar mejor que Wilco."

 

It's official: you can't sound better than Wilco.

Well, it semms that they could have sounded better!:

Wilco Swerve Past Sound Problems in Epic Spanish Set http://www.spinner.com/2010/05/29/wilco-primavera-barcelona-review/

Wilco now in the headlines of El Pais, the main Spanish newspaper. "Irreproachable Wilco"

http://www.elpais.com/articulo/cultura/Irreprochable/Wilco/elpepucul/20100529elpepucul_2/Tes

At some point I went back and got all those old albums and I was shocked at how tame they sounded compared to the live versions. My feelings hold true to the rest of them too. I recently went back and listened to YHF and again I was amazed at how "bad" it was compared to the live versions of those songs.

I second this, in particular for YHF. Live versions are much better imho. Jeff's voice sounds much better nowadays

Surely the world will end before that happens

Was the 'You never know' in WTA cowritten by Jay? So it seems from the 2nd page in this link...

I was to enter rehab from Wilco addiction but this recording makes me fall again in this unbeatable vice. Next time maybe. Thanks!

"Oar" is completed (at least, without the extra tracks of the recent expanded edition)

Heressy! Among contemporary peers, no one above Wilco these days, sorry. For me, they are at the same level than all the greats you know well

It is obvious that Heavy Metal Drummer should be sung by Ringo

«I've got a feeling»

«It Won't Be Long»

«She Said She Said»

there's a band called Additional Moog based in the UK who sound similar to Wilco. John Stirratt is a fan and has openly praised their music. check out this 30 sec. clip: Additional Moog- Four-Track Soul

This is the closest to Wilco I ever heard without being a mere imitation. Good stuff their new album Endless air. Thank you!

"You Can't Do that"

"Why don't we do it in the road"

"Julia"

"I am the walrus"

"Dear Prudence"

"You won't see me"

I cannot imagine myself neither standing during "Sunken treasure" nor sit during "Monday"

No applause? No cheering? No hurrah? Just silence?

Silence after huge amounts of all the former

In Firenze (Italy), 11-13-09, the intro was from Blue Danube (Johann Strauss). The outro was silence

1) A Ghost is Born

2) Summerteeth

3) Sky Blue Sky

4) Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

5) Being There

6) Wilco (The Album)

7) Kicking Television

8) A.M.

Usually YHF was on top. But, after the Chicago residency shows heard from Owl and Bear, I have to admit that the original YHF CD sounds to me “anemic” (paraphrasing Jeff talking on the sound of AGIB at the time of SBS release) and I much prefer the live versions of those songs
