ELS Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 First off, I'm glad I found a Wilco forum! I honestly didn't know that this existed until I saw it mentioned on an R.E.M. fan site. (Glad to see some other R.E.M. fans on here posting about the 25th Anniversary edition of Murmur) Anyway, I'm working on a project right now that's called ELS (Every Little Song). It's a blog where I'm writing about each Wilco song one day at a time. Eventually, I hope to have written about every song they've released on a studio album, EPs, a fistful of b-sides, and the Mermaid Ave. songs with Jeff on lead vocals. You can find the page at www.everylittlesong.wordpress.com P.S. I'm going randomly, but if there's a song you want me to write about, I'll gladly do it. Today's post is about "I Thought I Held You"... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The High Heat Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 If you tried this with Dylan's songbook, could you live long enough to finish it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ELS Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 I figure once I finish the Wilco blog I'll give a shot with another artist... That's a way from now, though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 That was a very exceptional interpretation. Kudos! The idea of death had never been a consideration for me but now I must rethink. Very well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bleedorange Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I remember a while back someone else trying this and only getting through about 5 or 6 songs before giving up. Looks great and I hope more people start to find it and comment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poppydawn Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Have you been doing the blog for awhile? I seem to remember a similar blog a few years ago, but I lost track of it. Either way, looking forward to reading what you have to say. I'm sticking this in the RSS feeder post-haste. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ELS Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Have you been doing the blog for awhile? I seem to remember a similar blog a few years ago, but I lost track of it. Either way, looking forward to reading what you have to say. I'm sticking this in the RSS feeder post-haste. It's just a few weeks old. Also, if there any fans here, I started one for Ryan Adams (and the Cardinals) tonight. It's www.starlitediner.wordpress.com Today's Wilco post, however, is "What Light" www.everylittlesong.wordpress.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ELS Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 Well, the blog is finished! Every album track has a post, as well as all of the Tweedy-sung Mermaid Avenue songs. I'll be doing b-sides, outtakes, and whatever else is left whenever I get bored, but I'm taking a break right now. So go ahead and give a look at the finished project! www.everylittlesong.wordpress.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
