mariana neri Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Wilco Rate the '90s, Porta Potties, Napping, and More on "Over/Under"Also discussed: keytars, fortune cookies, and giving away free music http://pitchfork.com/news/61614-wilco-rate-the-90s-porta-potties-napping-and-more-on-overunder/ Today, Pitchfork.tv presents a new episode of "Over/Under", the interview series in which artists evaluate a series of random topics, declaring if they're overrated or underrated. In this episode, Wilco rate the '90s ("Every era is underrated, and the idea of decades is overrated"), mouthwash ("It's just something they've convinced people to buy, like soap and toilet paper... just kidding"), and fortune cookies ("I can tell you very strongly that they're bullshit, because I got one last time we were at the Grammys that said, 'You will be given an award today'"). Watch their assessments below. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Pretty hilarious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino4evr Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I know this is all for laughs, but I find this kind of embarrassing. It's basically asking musicians to "try to be funny" or "say something zany". Just seems forced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold as Gasoline Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I found it very charming and funny. It's nice to see them all respond to questions that are a bit off the wall instead of the usual standards. Did anyone else notice how all 5 of the other band members zone out when Jeff is talking about how listeners are collaborators? They must have heard that answer a hundred times!

The Inside of Outside Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I got a kick out of it. I liked watching the other members' expressions while one member was talking. They laughed alot. They genuinely seem to enjoy each other's views/senses of humor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Did anyone else notice how all 5 of the other band members zone out when Jeff is talking about how listeners are collaborators? They must have heard that answer a hundred times!I just rewatched and you're right. That was really funny! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Finally, some Wilco content that doesn't include "from the ashes of Uncle Tupelo." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
