Wilco


I want to post these Wilco songs, and I'm not entirely sure why. For starters, they're both absolutely, beautifully perfect.

Factoid: Wilco is the best American band today. I mean it in the international-forum sense, the way we talk about the best American literature or something. Think about it - their music is challenging, exciting, accessible and acclaimed. They're beyond hip, beyond relevance, beyond music. I kid you not.

But really, they've been stuck in my head today and nothing else will do. I hope you're familiar with them already, and if not you're in for a treat.

From Being There (buy):

Wilco - Misunderstood

Wilco - Sunken Treasure

The Rich Girls are Weeping has that special Jenny Lewis track exclusive to the 7" split with Whispertown 2000. Maybe I should start a band-naming workshop. Or maybe I should turn this blog into a Rich Girls... fansite, seeing as it puts this site to shame on a daily basis.

Tune in to UPN on Wednesday, Feb. 1 at 9:00pm (like you do normally) and see Spoon's lanky, happy-footed frontman Britt Daniel make an appearance on Veronica Mars. I don't even know what that is.

Enjoy.
