Thought I would share this... "speakers are speaking in code."

[zuma]

So, I got to interview Jeff for Sukierae for my site, Speakers in Code.  As you might have guessed, this was a very big deal to me considering we named our site after a Wilco lyric.

 

I started the interview introducing myself, "Hi, this is Jason from Speakers in Code."

 

We started talking, but then Jeff says, "So...Speakers in Code, huh? I feel like that should be ringing a bell."

 

I explain about where the name came from. (I could tell he knew, he just couldn't quite put two and two together.)

 

He loved it, and at the end of the interview, he brought it up again:

 

Tweedy: "Well now I feel like I have a vested interest in what you do because I have a part in it. Keep going. I wish you all the best."

 

I did not include this in the interview, but I wanted to share it here! Figured some of you would enjoy the story.

Take care,

Great interview!

Great interview.  You can tell when someone who actually listens to and likes Tweedy's music interviews him  And thanks for the backstory.  I do follow your blog and wondered if Jeff knew about it!

Well done.  Congratulations!

Great interview, but you forgot to mention that Wilco rose from the ashes of Uncle Tupelo.
