Bonus Episode: Right Now/ Right Now
July 09, 2021 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MBMeredith 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 the pandemic - you can watch all past episodes on the @StuffInOurHouse IGTV, but you can see them with comments preserved on YouTube. Here's the...
An Empty Corner of a Dream
July 02, 2021 07:00 - 11 minutes - 10.7 MBHere'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 by Charles Dickens that features the quote Meredith mis-remembered. We briefly reflected again on "We Were Lucky..." and "Love is Everywher...
Hold Me Anyway/ Okay
June 25, 2021 07:00 - 16 minutes - 15.5 MBOn 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 really scarred by "We Were Lucky," I guess, because we can't stop talking about it. This is the fan extended version to further scar us. We ...
Love is Everywhere/ Right Now
June 18, 2021 07:00 - 12 minutes - 11.4 MBBecause 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, why don't we just post the link to Nels's website. He's a talented man! Check out his non-Wilco work! Like "Everyone Hides" before it, "Love i...
We Were Lucky That's for Sure
June 11, 2021 07:00 - 12 minutes - 11.6 MBWe'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 Life," so here it is for you to enjoy. She also mentions two of her favorite Wilco songs that have stressful instrumentation. One is "Side with ...
Women and Men/ Citizens
June 04, 2021 07:00 - 8 minutes - 8.16 MBWe'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 Lindblad Expeditions-Natural Geographic have a fun time showing everyone just how big it is. We mentioned Jeff Tweedy's songwriting process, and he...
White Wooden Cross by the Side of the Road
May 28, 2021 07:00 - 15 minutes - 14.5 MBHave 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. Please give if you're able. Jeff Tweedy talks about both of his parents, both no longer with us, in Let's Go (So We Can Get Back): A Memoir ...
Everyone Hides Some of the Time
May 21, 2021 07:00 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MBThe 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's not what Nels plays in this song. It's pretty clearly just a slide - but a real nice slide, of course. "Low Key" - the Tweedy music video ...
I Have a Quiet Amplifier
May 14, 2021 07:00 - 14 minutes - 13.7 MBIf 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 but this drum forum proves that I didn't hallucinate it. That Tom Waits snare detail was also from that Fresh Air interview shared on a previous...
One and a Half Stars/ I Wish
May 07, 2021 07:00 - 16 minutes - 14.9 MBHere'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 next week. We referenced The Wilco Book again, and quoted Glenn Kotche. Our conversation about online culture made me think of this book cal...
Before Us/ Alone With The People
April 30, 2021 07:00 - 18 minutes - 17.2 MB"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. We quickly referenced "War on War" by Wilco. Here's that Men In Black scene we referenced (correction: the belt was the cat's collar) W...
Bright Leaves Never Change
April 23, 2021 07:00 - 24 minutes - 22.3 MBOde to Joy - album by Wilco Warm - album by Jeff Tweedy Neil Young Instagram post Neil can vote! Ashes of American Flags - Wilco (not streaming, sorry)
