Checking in from the helm of the Starship Casual, where we’re working on a whole bunch of stuff. There may be a “mute”-ny afoot and/or a David Bowie cover coming soon behind the paywall, probably later this week. OxO—Jeffy This Week In Wilco, Etc. 2006 / March 21:
My UGA-attending son has procured tickets to the show in Athens next month AND invited me to drive over from Atlanta to attend with him. Solid proof that I raised him right!
Haven’t Tom and Mark earned some sort of non-commissioned officer ranks yet? Ensigns Of Silence or some sort? (I’m assuming Crystal already outranks you, as the Admiral Of Angst perhaps.) At any rate, looking forward to all of the new works and getting back on the road. I’m sure there will be some poor pinnate and cartoon dog chuckles at the very least...

I was just listening to Pin-Ups last night! Fucking rocks! Plus, made me think you really need to add “I can’t explain” to your playlists of choices of songs….you drive me out of my mind yeah….feel hot and cold! Can’t explain! [doubtful lyrics are in order] correct:
Fun things ahead. That pup looks like he belongs in the “WILL GO” Student Driver’s Ed cars we have here in town. WILL GO! WILL GO! WILL GO will love you baby drivers! Ask John S. if he’s seen them too,

Jeff what are your feelings on audience members asking for songs…futile? My friends and I once got the Violent Femmes to play “Ol’ mother Reagan” 20 times in a row, but the majority of us are now dead!

Any chance of letting fans know what songs will be played what nights…I have 4 tix for Sunday, but would love to trade 1 or 2 for another night, so I can catch another set of songs. Thank you for your time and music,

"Preparation" for Wilco shows.... just can't quite bring yourself to say "rehearsing", can you?
Or is that overselling it?
Cheers!
Definitely a Muttley laugh! 🐾
Chit-Chat Check-in #60 an instant classic with the Muttley callback. Did not see that coming. Love it.

You drive me out of my mind
Yeah, I'm the worrying kind, babe
I said I can't explain
Waiting patiently for the Bowie cover.
Is it there yet?
No? Oh well.
And now?
No, not yet.
Refresh.
Now?
No.
Ok. Carry on.

Hi Tom & Mark ❣️ Mark especially as I met him in October at the Loft! Happy times.

Looking forward to the weekend shows at the Riviera!!
So hyped to see you and Wilco here in Clearwater next month. Thanks for planning to stop by.
So very excited for the return of Sky Blue Sky in December. Made my week for sure. Love the dog picture and tag line.
O.m.g. here for all the one-toothed mf’ers. What a (suspicious) cutie!
Awww... I am also in love with that lil' singlesnaggle-toothed sugar
