Thank you for filling in, Monty! I appreciate it. Awesome job! As I’m sure you might recall, Please Be Wrong was played once before way back on episode 81. I believe last night was the first time that Jeff us the title. And Pittsburgh does sound familiar. I’d have to listen to that one again with my list of untitled songs in front of me to see if any lyrics match up. 

Sorry, just now seeing this. You're very welcome; I'm happy to help. 

I actually didn't recall the song when he played it, but I went to enter "Please Be Wrong" on the spreadsheet, I saw that I had it listed as "Please Be Wrong About Me" from before. Likewise, Pittsburgh didn't sound familiar to me, either, but clearly that doesn't mean he hasn't plaid it before.

I was asked to fill in as re-capper tonight:

The Tweedy Show Thursday July 10 Episode 183

My pleasure.

Is someone still keeping track of all the songs performed on TTS??? Is there anyway to tell how many times My Darling has been performed? I know Jeff's done it at least once.

I’m still updating the list after every show. Link to the list is in my signature below. Jeff has played My Darling twice: episodes 48 and 145. 

Spreadsheet is also updated with new/revised song titles.

I know you already know this, but just for the sake of clarity, what you called "By Her Side" in the notes from last night is actually titled Even I Can See.

Nice catch! Thank you! I am going to fix that now. 

Haha. At the risk of becoming a nag, Jeff also sang a harmony part on Who Loves The Sun last night (episode 169).

One small tweak to the Episode 168 notes: Jeff also sang backing vocals on The Air That I Breathe. He's off camera, but you can distinctly hear three voices on the choruses.

Oops... I need to make it a habit to look at your recaps before I update the spreadsheet.

Just looked at your notes. I called the new song "Sing In The Choir." I'll go back and change it to match your recap. (Trying to keep everything in sync.)

The absolute monster performance by Pamela Rabe as Joan Ferguson is next-level. We're talking Walter White territory. Great show.

Interesting. Goes to show how opinions differ. Her performance almost ruined the show for me. IMO she seemed totally cartoonish compared to the other actors/characters. Still, great show.

I don’t know if fried ravioli originated in St. Louis or not, but I can attest to the fact that it’s readily available in Hackettstown, NJ.

Ziggy, who are you on IG? I also love the TS community that's grown up around the show. I'm dmurphy948 there.

I'm montysmith.is.brickpig on instagram.

I'll look you up right now....

Yeah, it's very cool that she makes sure to number the videos according to your recaps. The whole little micro-culture around this show is just so great.

In the beginning I thought the comments were really distracting, but at that point I had not foreseen what an amazing community was going to grow around the show. I hardly ever post anything, but now I really enjoy "keeping in touch" with everybody. I just hate now that we have essentially choose the comments or the video. My wife and I AirPlay the show to our TV, but even so the video was really small last night if we maximized the comments. This strikes me as the Facebook philosophy of re-design, which IMO amounts to changing things for no reason other than the sake of changing them.

I am in the camp of folks that didn't see any difference tonight with the comments or screen size. I wonder if I passed on an update. 

We had the new format. I think this is going to be one of those updates IG kicks out without us having any control over it. Like the white hearts. And it will just get rolled out gradually to everyone. It's not great. I mean, with the original format sometimes I found myself getting too caught up in reading the comments, too the point that I would lose track of the actual show. But at least I had the option of seeing all the comments if I wanted, or ignoring them if I didn't want to read them. With the new format, you almost can't read the comments unless you make the video image really tiny at the top of the screen.

Yeah, in my mind I see it as CHIn: UP

I wasn't able to make it through the first Borat movie. Not even going to attempt a second one.

In response to ih8music's post from 10/22 about Lovecraft Country: Yes I watched, and LOVED it. I don't recall ever being simultaneously so confused and so consumed by anything that wasn't a David Lynch project. So much fun.

I thought it was interesting that Sammy said he had never heard Jeff play Plateau, since he's played it twice before on the show. I guess those previous times he must have played it before Sammy came in the room.

Without watching the episode again I am fairly certain that was an acoustic bass. I asked Susie to get Jeff to show us the instrument but alas, no luck. 

This is correct. It was an acoustic bass.

I'm always so happy when I find out someone else appreciates Yoko's music as much as my wife and I do. 

That little tidbit about Reincarnation is great!

I'm almost 100% sure the childrens' song is Clean Up Song by ELF Learning. I was googling while they were singing, and just as they were finishing I found lyrics that I believe were a match. Just googled it again, and I'm pretty confident it's right. There was no mention of Romper Room in what I read, but there is a Romper Room video that showed up in the search results. I assume they're singing a clean up song of some sort, but I'm at work right now and can't watch/listen. (Which is also why I can't check last night's episode to confirm the song.) 

It is also well within the realm of possibility that I am the only person who cares. But I figure, I put Wheels On The Bus on the spreadsheet; why wouldn't I put this one on, too?

ALTWYS might be my new second favorite solo acoustic song! Love the way that turned out.

Totally agreed. This is not one I expected to hear as solo acoustic. Loved it.

Jeff Tweedy’s Whisper will be released as part of Good Music To Avert The Collapse Of American Democracy on September 4th on Bandcamp.

 

https://goodmusic2020.bandcamp.com/track/whisper

That’s the track info.

 

I named that song “It’s A Whisper” when it appeared on The Tweedy Show on episodes 47 & 72.

Cool!

Changed it to "Whisper" on the spreadsheet.

Haha. I was googling as fast as I could, too, trying every little snippet of lyrics I could catch. I did come up with it, finally, but I missed seeing most of the song. For some reason I almost always miss Paul’s song IDs. I always see people thanking him, and I see a lot of his jokes and commentary, but very rarely the song titles. It would be interesting to know how IG determines who sees which comments, and if there’s anything you can do as a user to tweak them.
