TCP Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Does anyone remember which of the new songs that Jeff has debuted on TTS contains some recycled lyrics? I believe it was lyrics from An Empty Corner or maybe one of the Warm/Warmer songs. IIRC, Jeff and Spencer mentioned it after Jeff finished playing it and I think it was at least mentioned here.

Whilst I understand that JT can only write what he feels as affected by personal circumstances in the last few years and there have been some gems, what I most liked about Wilco was the fact that every album was so distinctively different in style. The last few Wilco/solo albums have been stuck in a bit of a whispery Dirge Rock (see what I did there?) vein and I have been itching for some energy. Everyone is getting on (me too) so raw youthful power might not be the easiest thing to tap into naturally anymore, but I feel I need something to lift me up and throw me around the room in these times and am hoping that Wilco can still provide it.

ZiggyBratwurst Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I thought it was interesting that Sammy said he had never heard Jeff play Plateau, since he's played it twice before on the show. I guess those previous times he must have played it before Sammy came in the room. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
