northern_comfort Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Don't know if this counts since it's me playing them, but my wife and I just opened up a Sandwich Shop (Sky Blue Sky Sandwich Company Ltd.) in Toronto, Ontario and not only are the sandwiches named after their songs, but every 15 minutes you're pretty much guaranteed to hear a Wilco song. Sadly, we've been opened up a few days and not one person has come in and said anything about the Wilco theme. How can no one ask "Why did you name your deviled egg salad sandwich 'Hell Is Chrome?'" Hopefully I can make some people into Wilco converts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sonicshoulder Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Impossible Germany in Remke's, a local grocery chain. Felt like I was in the video. Felt a sudden urge to juggle some cans of Northern beans and while smoking a cigar. Fortunately my sensible side took over and I just decided to lay a long passionate kiss on the 70 somethin deli lady, is that normal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Has anyone else noticed the ad for the Rhapsody iPhone app that has the drops of water that show album covers inside the drops. The very first one is YHF, which quickly recedes to the back and is replaced by a deluge of other albums, none of which are nearly as clearly visible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Hey All, I was out at my local Uno in Nashua, NH 2 Wednesdays in a row between 11p.m. EST & 1a.m. I heard @12:30a.m. last week What Light which was amazing because some song before that got the bartender to turn the sound up.Tonight to my surprise @12:30 they played Airline To Heaven. Kristofor I'm 100% sure it is satellite radio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twigboyjoe Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Any Brits here watch Hollyoaks? (Really bad teen soap for those who don't know it) Oh, the joys of fatherhood have introduced me to some 'great' TV! Well, they played two Wilco songs on there a week or two ago!! Everlasting Everything and Solitaire if I remember rightly... This was followed by Billy Bragg's version of Tracks Of My Tears opening Holby City!! Shocking TV, but great music!

Waiting for drivin' n' cryin to play...While dnc set up the house music was Wilco (the album) they played nearly the whole album...That was really kool Quote Link to post Share on other sites
allgodsmoney Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Heard "Impossible Germany" when I went into some weird grocery store in Gatlinburg. When was that? Maybe a week ago last Sunday? Oct. 11th? I also heard it in a grocery store in Sheboygan Wi. I was in the fruit and nuts section. I found a speaker and stood under it tapping my foot. People gave me weird looks. ...but maybe that was because I was naked... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radiatortunes Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Other than occasionally on the CBC ("Radio Two Morning" with Tom Allen or "Radio Two Drive" with Rich Terfry) sadly, I've never heard Wilco "out and about" in Vancouver. Unfortunately, when I have it's been "You and I." Far from one of my faves but one that my husband feels is groundbreaking enough to call me up at work so that he can hold the phone up to the kitchen radio for me to listen to. Every time.

rwilson580 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Not sure if this is applicable to this thread -- but our local newspaper is profiling the candidates for mayor, and listing some of their special likes. Today's candidate included Wilco on his list, and his comments indicated that his interest was fairly legitimate. (Not just one of those people posing as a Wilco fan because of all the incumbent glory.) He also listed "The Wire" and "Battlestar Galactica," two more of my own passions. Luckily I live outside the city, or I'd have a real dilemma. The guy's a Republican.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barbkm Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 This combines the Out and about thing with the you know you're obssessed wih Wilco thing -- Today, FUV played Bull Black Nova as I was driving home. And, whenever the DJ said "Wilco" or "Jeff Tweedy", I went "WHOOO -- HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" rather loudly. And I realized I do that every time I hear Wilco on the radio, and then the DJ says, "That was Wilco (WHOOOOOO-HOOOOO)The Song off Wilco's (WHOOOOOO-HOOOOO) latest CD, Wilco (WHOOOOOO-HOOOOO)the Album. Jeff Tweedy (WHOOOOOO-HOOOOO)of Wilco (WHOOOOOO-HOOOOO) said that Wilco (WHOOOOOO-HOOOOO) the Album ...." You get the picture Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 A minute ago XM's baseball channel returned from commercial with a soundbite of former Yankee Jeff Nelson commenting on Andy Pettite. The background music was Wilco (the song). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HungryHippo Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 heard One Wing tonight at the grocery store. if you would have told me that my local grocery store would be playing Wilco a few years ago, I would have fallen out, 4realz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwilson580 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Our friends were showing us videos of their daughter's wedding last night. The couple's first dance was to "Jesus, Etc." Made me wish we'd taken that trip cross-country for the wedding. Well, maybe not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
