TCP Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I caught the end of the set with Nels. It feels like that Love is the King solo was made for Nels!! Too bad it wasn't a Wilco song though I guess the precedent has been set that a solo Jeff (or Tweedy band) song can become a Wilco song later on..... There was some strange comments going on in chat that I normally don't notice. I saw someone accusing Nels of being a Trump supporter among other weird stuff. Too bad there's no way to create moderator roles on Instagram! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Tonight’s episode will start at 7pm EST/6pm CST for some “backstage shenanigans”, according to Susie’s IG post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A couple of minor corrections for you, just because I know how much you care about these things... -Eric is Jeff/Wilco's road manager, not the owner of the brewery (though maybe he'd like to be!) -I, the #ShowPony , was actually sitting in the second row. -I think the Liam song is called Next Time Around. He has played it on his own IG live stream shows a few times, but I guess it's either newer and/or didn't make the cut for his forthcoming record (unless it has an obscure title that isn't immediately obvious). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you! Life lesson: I had the volume down low at the very beginning assuming that I could go back and rewatch it right after. The heavy throttling put an end to that. I’m glad though that it was fixed for the rest of the show. I’m guessing this is where Susie refreshed our memories on Eric. I knew that he looked familiar. I had a good laugh realizing that it’s most likely a road manager (duh!) coming into a backstage area and not the manager of a venue. Lol “Hey, Tweedy, what are you doing on the couch? We got a show to do here!” - manager of a venue. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 The Tweedy Show Monday July 26 Episode 199 -- Jeff welcomes the clients to the Tweedy Show. He says that it's just him & Susie tonight, so no video intro. -- Susie announces that they received another Box Full Of Letters from the clients. -- Jeff announces his newsletter called Starship Casual on Substack. @jefftweedy.substack.com/client Right now there is Early Bird pricing for the clients. If you sign up for free, you will receive a list of pet names. Once a week for free, you'll get a newsletter from Jeff or a song. Once a week on the paid side, you'll get a lot of songs in progress, talking about songs and stories that didn't make it into his books. He might start a Petty Crime podcast. At least an album's worth of songs that you wouldn't be able to get anywhere else. It might be songs that get finished somewhere else. He wants to do what he's been trying to do with The Tweedy Show by feeling a connection. He wants to have an advice column called "Dear Jeffy or Go Ask Susie." Jeff is excited about it. Jeff explains the Founding Member price which will include some perks like a single, first in line for ticket sales. The details haven't been finalized yet. -- Jeff & Susie discuss the Olympics. Life In Vain (Daniel Johnston cover) -- "Happy Birthday, Lori!" -- Jeff talks about a documentary that he watched on HBO Max or Hulu about women's Olympics diving. -- Jeff asks if any of the clients follow anyone on Substack like Neko Case or Patti Smith.

Stream ends} -- Susie asks Jeff what her first concert was. Jeff has some trouble remembering. Susie finally reveals that it was Jethro Tull. One And A Half Stars -- Jeff explains how he came up with the title One And A Half Stars. He says One And A Half Stars is kind of a self pitying kind of thing. That song is very emotional to him and he was joking about how the songs that mean the most to him would get 1 & 1/2 stars. He doesn't understand how music critics rate it. -- Susie wants Jeff to tell the clients the first concert that he went to. It was Sing A Long with Mitch Miller @ ASU with his sister. -- Jeff talks about the first singles that he bought: Pilot's Magic and Aerosmith's Dream On. -- Jeff's first record that he bought was Parallel Lines by Blondie. -- Susie asks what the clients want to see on the last show before the break.

Reincarnation (Roger Miller cover) -- Jeff is looking forward to the 200th episode. He wants to renew his vows with Susie. I need to listen to the Substack membership breakdowns again, so take what I wrote with 65% confidence. Edit: I added some more info about this exciting news. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
