thingfishp Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Got dragged into Kohl's with my daughter and wife and You and I was on. They call me whenever they hear it out and about, which seems to be more regularly over the past couple of years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Autumnteeth Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I was in a seminar yesterday and heard the Uncle Tupelo version of Gun as a ringtone when a phone went off. Odd choice, especially when the shite I attend usually sees a lot of Cee Lo Green or Black Eyed Peas tones, with the occasional Fenton the Dog or OMG Trampoline tossed in. This was a beautiful girl, maybe mid 20's, with Gun as a ringtone. Not sure what dynamic was in play but cheered me up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Heard "Shot in the Arm" on KXT while on my way home from the Dr. Sounded REALLY good on the radio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Autumnteeth Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Thoroughly enjoyed the cab ride a I took a week or so ago when the NPR listening cab driver started singing along to Art of Almost and heard the lyrics as Heart of the Host. One small step for Wilco, one giant step for misunderstood Christianity. Have a feeling that when the album breaks in Nigeria or wherever Speed Racer was from it may be a number one if fellow residents mishear it the same way. Christopher Hitchens was heard crying in the background. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

i'm only sleeping Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 "I Might" as the soundtrack of a bunch of X-mas programs to be broadcasted in TV1, the main public Spanish TV channel.It's all right! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Queen Amaranthine Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 This isn't heard Wilco, and in fact is not our Wilco, but I recently got home from a holiday vacation to Florida and was delighted to see Wilco Travel Plazas here and there in Georgia and Tennessee. I saw a tanker truck too on the road and thought, cool, it's in liquid form too! Clearly that picture was taken before gas prices spiked a few years ago. Since I didn't manage to take a picture myself, this is the best I could find as evidence that Wilco Travel Plazas do in fact exist. On the way home we drove through Belleville, IL on I-64 en route to St. Louis. I was tempted to stop into a convenience store or see if there was a vistor center with Belleville postcards to send to kidsmoke and a couple of other Wilco friends, but my kids had been having meltdowns since we were at the tail end of a very long drive that day and I didn't think anyone was in the mood to humor my Wilco obsession at that very moment. Side note: I heard Nick Lowe at Starbucks in Florida, which my family and I frequented daily since it turned out that the Internet connection wasn't working where we were staying. I listened for Wilco too since I know they pop up in the background music at Starbucks on occasion, but no such luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 There are lots of Hess/Wilco stations where I live. Like a dork, I always like to buy my gas there, and it's usually the cheapest station around, by a few cents a gallon. Plus, when I gas up, with my Wilco license plates and usually some Wilco playing from the ipod, it gives me a little secret smile that takes some of the sting out of the cost of the fuel. They also have an unusually large assortment of Wilco-branded lighters, in a variety of sizes and designs. I can't help but think that's a nod to the band from someone in their marketing department. I mean, I don't think you see tons of Exxon or Mobil lighters, do you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Last week I heard "Dawned on Me" at a Landmark movie theater as part of the pre-show entertainment. My 7-year-old daughter was along--we wanted to see The Artist--and she noticed the song before me, which made it even better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The other morning the college station in my town played the following:Night Fever - Bee Gees1901 - PhoenixI Might - Wilco What a great little line-up to start my workday! I Might did sound a tad heavy and weighed down after the Phoenix song -- that band is like whipped cream to Wilco's bread pudding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In my state, Wilco has already been taken for a plate by someone else, lucky fan! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gewee Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Had to be out in Las Vegas for 10 days of work. Walking around an outdoor mall on the first day, after forgetting to pack some things. "Hate It Here" blaring from the speakers in the palms. Sweet justice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 One Sunday Morning played during the last several minutes of last Thursday's Private Practice. Not one of my shows, but was sitting with my wife when our heads turned at the unmistakeable biginning to OSM. A good 3-4 minutes of the song played, at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
