Jeff and Nels are using their August 26th day off to play with Phil Lesh & Friends in Chicagoland. Interesting. https://www.jambase.com/article/phil-lesh-wilco-philco-sacred-rose-festival-lineup-2022

I think they taste pretty great - sorta Golden Grahams mixed with Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Eerie! There are either guitars that sound like police sirens or police sirens around the 2 minute mark!

Cruel Country (the song) featured on Starship Casual today!

Excellent

Pitchfork's article has a 'band' pic I haven't seen before - no Mikael though?? https://pitchfork.com/news/wilco-announce-new-album-cruel-country-share-new-song-falling-apart-right-now-listen/
