Wilcology Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I heard them every once in a while when I lived in the Twin Cities. About once a week. Haven't heard them in Arkansas yet... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I heard "Theologians" once. And "Kamera" once. That's it. I also heard "Just a Kid" once in a movie theater, as part of the pre-show entertainment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deepseacatfish Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 That's because I call 89.3 The Current at 11:00 p.m. everyday and request Wilco. Hah! I don't even live in Minnesota right now (I'm in school in Madison, Wisc.) but that is the best radio station in the world and I still call to make requests. It's no. 5 on my speed dial. Yeah, the Current rules! I listen to them occasionally online, but I haven't called in a request Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogsPlayingPoker Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 I have heard "California Stars," "Handshake Drugs" and other random Wilco songs several times, mostly on college stations. I have heard a few other tunes at stores. Who is the woman in the "A Shot in the Arm" video? I wonder if she's a paid actress or what. That newbie does deserve a good bashing. Welcome. Thank you, sir. May I have another? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seltz Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 In Philly, you can hear Wilco fairly regularly on WXP (88.5). If you're not familiar, you can listen online at www.xpn.org. It's consistently voted the best commercial-free, independent radio station in the country and is the home of the World Cafe with David Dye (syndicated on many stations around the country). Jeff usually pops in the studio whenever they are in Philly and therefore, the station has some great rare tracks (an acoustic solo performance of She's a Jar comes to mind). Check out the station online. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 And they get radio airplay in Chicago.Mostly on WXRT though as opposed to the more conventional stations, but at least they get played reasonably often on XRT. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edie Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Mostly on WXRT though as opposed to the more conventional stations, but at least they get played reasonably often on XRT. LouieB Just heard "Can't Stand It" yesterday Quote Link to post Share on other sites

misslaura Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 If you check the iTunes store there are at least 3 videos for sale including "outtasite" and 2 or 3 more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calexico Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I've seen a couple of the videos on late night music tv here but never hear them on the radio. 89.3 The Current is a fixture on my desktop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 When I got in my car for work this morning and the tunes started playing, I realized it was "We're Just Friends." I thought it was pretty cool that the local station was playing such an off-the-beaten-track Wilco tune, so I went to see what station it was. Low and behold, I'd forgotten I'd popped in "Summerteeth" last night on the way to a meeting. There's a great station out here called The Mountain that seems to have a "just play cool stuff" format and very few commercials. Although I don't listen to a lot of radio, when I do it's this one. They'll play Wilco every now and then, and not the typical stuff, sandwhiched between an old blues number and some Hot Tuna or Leo Kottke. Gpod stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blue and Green Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 They get played on 91.9 WFPK in Louisville. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mollyegan Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 90.3 KEXP in Seattle occasionally plays Wilco (thought not enough..). It is really an incredible station- really interesting shows, etc. They've turned me on to LOADS of new music. Check it out... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dazzler Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I was on my way out of the health food store a few days ago and ELT started to play over their sound system. I think I literally did a double take. Was it the Muzak version? That would be cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tongue-tied Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 a friend of mine said there was a station around him that played all of AGIB one day. Unfortunately, they only played a minute of the drone and went to Late Greats. But that's still awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
