quick tweedy quote that i forgot and most of you would know


Recommended Posts

sorry to have to take up a topic on this but its such a great quote. i will erase tomorrow and tattoo it on my arm as well. the quote is something along the lines of " Yeah the news is in. Experimenting with sound works". Clearly more poignant but im sure someone here can tell me. I did multiple searches on the internet but couldnt find it.sorry and thanks.

I think it was - somebody correct me if I'm wrong - "Yeah, the news is in - we're experimenting with making crappy records."

 

That's close, but I don't believe that was it. Something tells me that "crap" is rather subjective, and I don't believe that Jeff would release a record he considers "crap", but I may be wrong.

No, I remember reading this too. It was something along the lines of "there's nothing experimental about rhythm and guitars and drums, etc.--the results are in, and it works" Something like that. I can't figure out the right google search terms to find the original quote, but it was something like what dthedust said.

No, I'm pretty sure that's it.

 

Well, it better be, because I've tattooed it on my arm.

after reading countless interviews from when i think it was said, between sbs and wta, jeff tweedy should be given an honorary doctorate in sociology. ill wait one more day because i thought analogman posted a link to it.thanks for not erasing it as it doesnt matter to anyone else, i just thought it was worth remembering.

Do you have Wilco: Learning How to Die - by Greg Kot? It may be in there.

 

I actually looked to see if it was a line from one of the articles found on the website: Wilco - The Gumbo Pages. But, I did not see it there.

 

You'll figure it out.
