If you don't know the Jumble, now you know. Here's a nice article properly crediting Jeff for the invention of Spikeball. And here's a Wikipedia entry for Roundnet (basically Spikeball, but an entry that credits Jeff) Jeff was also a guest on this podcast (talking about Spikeball, of course). He helped found The Tweedy Show Client Union as well And…

First of all, don't sleep on Patrick Sansone's photography (a new book, Noticings is in the works, too) OR his new single: a cover of Colin Blunstone's song "Smokey Day." (The video and arrangement are both gorgeous). Pat mentioned the artist Joseph Cornell as an influence on his photography. Mary and Patrick are both big fans of these guys: The Ne…

The plan is to be back soon with a whole new season of episodes - thi…

Meredith was referencing "An Empty Corner" when she sang "You've got family out there." Did you catch it? Wilco is going back on tour, rescheduling a whole bunch of previously canceled dates, and here is their schedule. Also, did you know that there's a feature to request a song? Pretty sweet! The Tweedy Show has been the livestream highlight of th…

Here's our song of the episode: "An Empty Corner." Meredith mentioned Chris Lambert's podcast "Your Own Backyard." Here's "Are You Listening?" - the song Paul Hobbs wrote about Meredith going away to college... and "I'll Miss You Then," the song he wrote when her brother went off to college. It's a whole genre. Here's the page of A Christmas Carol …

On this episode we discuss "Hold Me Anyway," and this Songkick Live performance of it is excellent. Is this song even better than "Love is Everywhere (Beware)?" It might be! Here's the urbandictionary.com definition of "guitarmony," so apparently the word exists beyond Adam Nash. Does this song harken back to Summerteeth? You be the judge. We were …

Because we keep sharing the same link to this song, and we've shared this song a lot, here's a live version of "Love is Everywhere (Beware)." We talk about Nels's riff being tricky, so here's a nice tutorial for you. Here's a video of the "Side with the Seeds" solo Mary mentions, posted by the company that made his bridge. And while we're at it, wh…

We're talking about "We Were Lucky." Meredith and Mary aren't in quite the right headspace to properly appreciate this song, but for those who are, here's an article suggesting that listening to sad songs when in a bad mood can help people to emotionally regulate. Mary compared the structure of this song to that of the Beatles song "A Day in the Li…

We're talking about "Citizens" this time. Here's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the Aeolian harp guy, as performed the staff of the Wisconsin Maritime Museum, underwater archaeologists, marine scientists, and historians. (And Iron Maiden also fashioned it into a song.) The albatross is a big ol' bird. These guys at Lindbl…

Have a listen to our song of the day: "White Wooden Cross." A Chicago Tribune article about roadside memorials felt appropriate given Wilco's Chicago ties. Susan Miller Tweedy continues to battle cancer. This is her most recent update and the fundraiser is active as of 5/25/2020. Plus, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is always accepting donations…

The star of the show: the "Everyone Hides" music video! "Love is Everywhere" will get its own episode soon, of course, but it's also the other upbeat song Mary mentions in this episode. There are some examples here of Pablo Picasso's skill in figure drawing, different from his later, more experimental work. The shamisen is a cool instrument, but it…

If you haven't listened yet, here's "Quiet Amplifier." The other Wilco song that features a present joint vocal (okay, so most of it is unison, not harmony like I said. So sue me!) It's a live performance, too - with Feist. Enjoy! Strumming a snare is a thing! I couldn't find the video of Levon Helm doing it on "I Shall Be Released," by The Band bu…

Here's "One and a Half Stars," if you haven't listened already. Sky Blue Sky is good. Jason P. Woodbury's Pitchfork review of Ode to Joy. "Summer Noon" by Tweedy. Reminiscent of the bass part in "One and a Half Stars," no? Also, how cool is this video! "Quiet Amplifier" - we reference the drum sound in it. And listening to it is your homework for n…

"Wilco (The Song)": the song in which the band asserts they'll love us "Love is Everywhere (Beware)" in which the band asserts that love is everywhere - and to beware. This is the Neil Young song Meredith sings in this episode. Behold Neil Young's guitar: Old Black! Here's "Bright Leaves" if you've forgotten - or haven't heard - last week's episode…
