I haven't been able to put Warm down lately. Apple Music has some song notes by Tweedy listed for each track, and it's full of good insight on the songs. Especially what he writes about "How Will I Find You?" Perfect closer for an album with a lot of fear and death in the lyrics. This is some pretty heavy stuff. I should read that book he just put out.

Tweedy wrote:
I was trying to imagine what someone like my father, who believed in an afterlife, would be thinking while looking for my mom, who died before him. If there's really something like a Heaven the way most people picture it, this seemed like a really sad and lonely thought."

I highly recommend the book, Reid. Warm should have just been slipped inside the jacket of the thing.

I'm currently listening to Loose Fur's 2003 debut and remembering how incredibly addictive Wilco's music was in the early aughts. If it's okay with you guys, I'm just going to keep considering that release the unofficial missing link in an unfuckwithable YHF/LooseFur/AGIB "Wilco" trilogy.

I'm fine with that. I expand it to Being There through AGIB though.

Save a handful of tracks on ST and BT, the prime Bennett years haven't really aged that well for me, actually. I find the instrumentation a little too candy coated.

Ugh.

Recent Tweedy just doesnt do it for me. He sounds so tired. His songwriting is a lot more straight forward (guitar parts etc..) compared to the interesting arrangements and production of days past.

Ive tried to get into Schmilco, his tweedy record, and his recent solo album and i just get bored so quickly. Perhaps I need to sit with headphones and just listen to the lyrics.

I dont want him to be on drugs of course, but he just sounds so tired and uninterested in his own work for me to care.

Have you heard his story about converting to Judaism? It was on Wait Wait Don't Tell me when I heard it and it's on the repeated episode that they just put out on the podcast app. Pretty funny.
