The Inside of Outside Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Saturday at the Crave festival (local food & music festival here in Lexington), a Chicago band called JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound opened with a very upbeat cover of IATTBYH. I really like their version. Incredibly different from the original. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radiatortunes Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Heard Taste the Ceiling on the radio yesterday, I got a little excited. I just heard it on CBC Radio Two Morning, and got a little excited, too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Yeah I've heard Taste The Ceiling on CBC Radio Two 3 or 4 times in the past few weeks, looks like they're giving it pretty high rotation, which is good to hear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, as noted earlier, it is a "breezy little ditty" that made Entertainment Weekly's list of "Hot Midsummer Jams for your Weekend", so that may explain it. http://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/24/midsummer-playlist Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robby Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Don't know if this is really out and about, but..I have a lot of cookies or trackers (even though I supposedly don't accept them) that watch what sites I visit (like Amazon) and in turn place ads or suggested posts on sites like Facebook, the Weather Channel, & Huffington Post.That's fine, I don't really care, but it becomes a little surprising when I want to find out if it's going to rain today, and see our beloved Star Wars kitty-cat blinking back at me on a banner over the current temperature on the Weather Channel site.I've grown to expect to see ads for a mouse or an ink cartridge that I'm shopping for appear on these sites , but find it a bit unnerving to see an ad for a Wilco album!Boy, the internets sure have changed in the last few years...

ViaNewOrleans Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 "Say You Miss Me" at KD's Diner in Lake Charles, Louisiana at 7: a.m. Serious small town country place (there for work), some dude sitting across from me drinking a Stella for brekfast. Yum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CBC 2 plays Wilco fairly regularly, before Star Wars every few weeks you'd hear songs like Heavy Metal Drummer, Jesus etc, or California Stars, but this is the first time they've put a new Wilco song into their regular rotation. Taste The Ceiling is a good pick as it's pretty accessible to the average listener. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Several days ago I was in OfficeMax and the clerk noticed my T-shirt, saying, "Wilco! Cool, man." Thing is, the T-shirt was the "Kaysettes Starring Butchers Blind" one, which only a serious fan would immediately grasp as a Wilco shirt. That has got to be one of the coolest, most "insider" tee shirts I've ever seen! Love it.Saturday at the Crave festival (local food & music festival here in Lexington), a Chicago band called JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound opened with a very upbeat cover of IATTBYH. Didn't they play Solid Sound? Or is my mind totally melting in the summer heat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Robby Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I think there is a video (maybe on YouTube?) of JC Brooks performing this at SS II and Jeff joining them on stage for the song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I heard Say You Miss Me on WLUW this morning. Damn those were the good old days. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 "Pick Up the Change," heard in between sets of a bunch of local bands playing an outdoor all-day thing yesterday. It inspired me to listen to AM while cooking this afternoon. I very rarely listen to Wilco's studio recordings anymore (with the exception of SW), and it's amazing how well AM holds up. I just love it all the way through. Jeff's voice, so young and scratchy, John on "It's Just That Simple," Brian Henneman's warm, soulful guitar playing. What a great record.

LouieB Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 It would be great if great if Jay were playing on AM, but he wasn't. That soulful guitar playing was Brian Hennemann of the Bottle Rockets. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Tatlock Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Well, sort of. Could not be bothered to start a new topic for a small tangential item I came across. http://www.mhpbooks.com/the-first-rule-of-jeff-bezoss-writers-retreat-is-dont-talk-about-jeff-bezoss-writers-retreat/ "Bezos reportedly also flew in Jeff Tweedy and Werner Herzog for entertainment." http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/21/technology/a-writerly-chill-at-bezos-fire-.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
