lore: i was in a situationship this summer where i was not treated well. the guy's favourite song of all time is wilco's she's a jar. it's the song that plays in his head when he feels romantically towards someone, so not only did he put it on a playlist of songs that reminded him of me, it was ALSO the relationship song for his most recent ex!! i broke things off in the beginning of october after many other unkind behaviours and romantic faux pas, but i've still been feeling very angsty about the way he treated me, so i channeled that spite into creativity and dressed as a jar for halloween this year! after all, nothing is scarier than getting heartbroken over a mediocre man who can't commit to a relationship but is overly committed to one song haha

i don't listen to wilco, but i hope their fans who see this can appreciate the costume for what it is. materials are cardboard, paint, vinyl film, hot glue, and hope 😁✌️

Anyone know why A ghost is born was taken off Apple Music?

I had “company in my back” on my playlist and tried to click back to the album. When I did it said it wasn’t available in my country or region, and my friend can’t find it on his either. Anyone know what’s up with this?

Great show from Jeff last night in Jackson, Wy

H played a pretty even mix of Wilco songs and his solo stuff. There was some people in the front that talked through the show and he mentioned multiple times that it was driving him crazy but they wouldn’t stop. Other than that though it was a lot of fun.

Repost: Tickets for Tweedy show in Madison, WI (10/19)

Tickets available for Tweedy in Madison, WI (10/19). Resposting this because I had the wrong date in my original one.

I have 2 tickets for the Jeff Tweedy show in Madison, WI on October 19th available for sale. We bought these a couple of months ago, but just this week had a family emergency and are no longer able to make it.

If anyone is interested, please PM me. I’ve already spoken to will call and because of the circumstances, they will transfer the tickets. I’m not asking for anything over face value (let me know what you can do) and do not care about the convenience fee. Just don’t want the tickets to go to waste!

Strange track found on a compilation

On discogs I found a compilation disc that said it had an 8:49 version of Passenger Side, so I decided to buy it and see what it was. The first 2 minutes was a live version of Passenger Side, then 5 minutes of silence, then two minutes of a song that I can't identify. Shazam doesn't recognize it and I've searched the internet for the lyrics, but get no hints. It's a garage band. The lyrics of the first verse go like this:

when I was a young i had a dog

it was the perfect pet

but then one day it went raving made

we had to call a vet

the angry dog bit the vet

and we took the dog back home

we put the dog in a dumpster

so he'd leave us alone

who let the dog out of the dumpster 4x

Anyone have any idea what is up with this track? On the back of the CD it lists 18 tracks with WILCO passenger side as the last track, so I guess this is some sort of hidden track.

Sample at the start of "Heavy Metal Drummer"?

There's a brief intro at the start of the song that sounds so familiar, It makes me think of discoheadache by dub Diablo from yeah right but not quite. Does anyone know the origin if it is sampled or if it's just original?

Wilcoweb Shirt

I was digging through an old dresser today and found this shirt I bought off the band's website back when. Trying to date it. Anybody have a clue when they changed from wilcoweb.com to wilcoworld.net?

I thought i had lost this but I guess I was meant to find it today, as I am going to see Jeff this upcoming week.

I don’t think I ever ‘felt’ this song until now.

November 4, I’ll blow what’s left of my eardrums with this on repeat.
