He's on more than just that song.

Just a perfect song. Hard not to listen to it several times in a row.

I think we all need to hear the original, uncut drone from Less Thank You Think.

By my count, Wilco has released 184 songs from studio albums, including Mermaid Avenue 1 and 2. That is a lot of lyrics/chords/arrangements to remember. I seem to remember listening to a podcast with Mikael around the time of Ode to Joy saying they are picking and practicing set lists based on how they want to present a show and the amount of gear they'd have to bring on tour. I'm just glad Wilco is still going strong. They can play practically the same set every night I see them and I'd be happy.

Weirdly comforting to hear a Beatles song in 2023.

Recommendation for any baseball fans (even non-baseball fans like my wife) who visit Kansas City: The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is a MUST see. So much history there. I was lucky enough to trail a tour given by the president of the museum to White Sox coaches a few years ago and it was incredible. A really cool music connection is that Geddy Lee bought and donated over 400 baseballs signed by Negro League players to the museum.

Was it ever revealed why they changed their name?

Hi Ohmmies, 

We wanted to let you all know about a little change coming in the future-- we are still a band, still touring, still love each other, and are having a smashing time working on a new record-- but we are changing our band name. There is a long story but the short one is that we had to and we see it as part of our life as a band to evolve every couple of years-- kind of like a Pokémon. 

We're going to announce our new band name next week but we wanted to take a minute to thank all of you for your incredible and continued support these past 8 years. We love being Ohmme, we love making music, we love meeting you all out on the road and we look forward to continuing doing so. Ohmme is always going to be a part of our story and in our hearts. Please keep wearing the t-shirts, pulling the vinyl off the shelf, and loudly spelling our (former and current) band name(s) for your friends at our shows or while you're (hopefully) blasting the records at home. 

We love you all and are excited to share our next chapter with you. For now we're going to take a trip down memory lane and enjoy all things Ohmme. Please share with us and we would so appreciate your helping us spreading the word about our new name when the time comes. 

Love, 

Sima & Macie”

Did you get an email notification? Did you preorder from Wilcoworld? I was trying to remember whether previous Wilcoworld album orders just showed up unannounced or whether they were preceded by a shipping notice.

I pre-ordered from WilcoWorld. I got a notification email that it had shipped with a USPS tracking number. I also have the Shop app attached to my email which tracks all my orders.

My vinyl copy is supposed to show up today! Anyone else?

A man after my own heart.

That doesn't matter to a majority of the people on the right.

I'm scared to death that Biden's going to have a heart attack or stroke before the election.

Same man, same. I don't think Kamala Harris is a very strong candidate either.

I don't really hear it. IMHO it is by far the worst song on the album.

It is being played again at 5 pm on XRT. Anyone can listen live here: https://www.audacy.com/stations/wxrt

Ok.  I've kept it a secret for years. Here goes.  I am Nick Offerman.  

Nick Offerman is not a Sox fan!

Cousin - Hmm. Interesting title considering that they took the stage to the Succession theme song last month and there’s a character called Cousin Greg. Or it could be a nod to some of the other most memorable cousins on tv shows: Cousin Balki, Cousin Oliver & Cousin It. The one thing that I think that connects all 4 characters are that they are outliers and I wonder if that plays into this record amongst the Wilco discography. {possibly pulled a muscle on that stretch}
 

They did that as a joke for their manager who is a big fan of the show.

Wai- wai- what? How? Where? What was it like? So many questions!

Loft tour back in August. I don't know how to attach a Youtube video on forums, but there's a video of the song from the Tweedy Show called "Say You Love Me Again." It was hauntingly beautiful.

::whispers:: I may have heard one of the new songs

Heard Mavis and Jeff's "Ain't No Doubt About It" before Nick Offerman's show in Hammond, Indiana tonight. Pretty sure there was a @bböpsighting as well!

Did someone really buy that obnoxious cow guitar for $999,999?

Talked to a Reverb rep at Solid Sound 2019 . He told me it was a joke.

My wonderful amazing wife allowed me to get tickets for all three nights!
