"Bombs Above"

Jeff Tweedy wrote these lyrics just a few years ago...

All my life I've played a part
In the bombs above the ones you love
I'm taking a moment to apologize
I should have done more to stop the war
So I'm sorry

And today he has nothing to say about the US's full on support of Israel's ongoing assault on Gaza. As far as I know he hasn't cosigned any open letters/petitions calling out the US Government for its support of this slaughter (Wilco did this as a band to protest the Iraq War in 2003). Spencer Tweedy, for his part, has spoken out at times and often likes/boosts accounts advocating for a ceasefire and exposing Israel's crimes against humanity.

Don't get me wrong. I don't usually care what artists believe or don't believe or don't give a shit about. I like some conservative artists--especially authors and directors. It is what it is. But Jeff fancies himself a left wing activist of sorts (and good for him and the positions he's taken in the past). In recent years he's released "All Lives, You Say?," "Ten Dead," and "Bombs Above." But on the issue of I/P, one that requires one to go out on a limb, he's avoided talking 14 months.

It's really disappointing and cowardly, especially when you consider we're in a situation in where regular folks and students are at risk of losing their jobs, being expelled, having their visas revoked, and potentially being jailed for their advocacy.

I don't really want to hear about his other family members and their Zionist beliefs. If anything, that should motivate Jeff to be more vocal about what he believes. They're all adults. They go out on the internet and give interviews and bring shame to Jeff and Spencer and Wilco. If he does agree with their Zionist views, fine. As of now, though, it just feels as if he's protecting the bottom line.

Vampire Weekend covering "Jesus Etc."

During the encore tonight, they took requests of any song that people wanted to hear, including Bruce Hornsby, The Pogues, White Stripes, Elvis Costello, and this one.

Jeff’s Being There acoustic guitar

I love the sound of the acoustic guitars on being there. I’m sure part of it is how they recorded them, but wondering if anyone know what Jeff was playing during these sessions

Tweedy @ Austin City Limits

Does anyone have a copy/recording of Tweedy’s Austin City Limits performance that followed Sukirae? The episode is blocked on the PBS app with no explanation and I can only find some of the songs individually on YouTube. It’s a very tapped in performance with some great players - Darin Gray, James Elkington, and Lucius among them.

Apple Music messing around with albums?

The super deluxe version of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was split into 2 albums (now seemingly rejoined as one) but the live St Louis recordings have now just completely disappeared for me, anyone else notice this? I just want my live Laminated Cat and Pot Kettle Black back

@wilcobot.bsky.social also on (Sky) Bluesky!

I made a Wilco lyric bot on Bluesky too! It will post a Wilco lyric every hour-- fingers crossed it stays working! I thought about calling it Sky Blue Sky Bot, but decided to keep it just as @/WilcoBot. Follow for a little bit of Wilco on your feed!

@/wilcobot.bsky.social

Also, I'm just learning a little bit of Python and thought making a Twitter bot that worked with its insane, demagogue owner-implemented API could be an interesting challenge! I'm sorry that it stirred people up in here; I really was just trying to make something fun on the Internet.

@WilcoBot is now on Twitter!

Hi, y'all! I made an automated Twitter that tweets out a Wilco lyric every hour. I'd been wanting to do this for a good while, but with Twitter's API changes, I've had a hard time getting it to work. However, it looks like it's up and working now.

Follow it here -- @/WilcoBot https://x.com/WilcoBot

New band formed from Wilco Influence

Hey gang! We’re a new band formed out of love for Wilco, Big Thief, Pinegrove and Dylan - to name a few:) This is the live version of our second single we just released, called Found Me. I wrote it about a hitch-hiking trip from Vienna to Budapest last winter, sleeping in parks with a burgeoning love at the time. It’s got some buckets of rain and YankeeHFT in there I feel.

We’re huge fans of Wilco, and their recording process and figured the best ears to offer our music to would be fellow fans. We’d be grateful to hear what you think! - Pádraig

Here’s a link to the Spotify version if you so please: https://open.spotify.com/track/0r2IS83zpHJ58TOrPNdUk8?si=eSiZ7nydSC-V8Q5JFMIwdQ
