Wilco was interviewed & performed yesterday on Soundcheck, tina. I had it on but was actually doing my work (what's up w/ that?) so can't tell you if it was any good.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

We've discussed this before, joe, that will come to no good.
I'm listening to soundcheck right now. Thanks for the link.
An interview with John Flansburgh (half of They Might Be Giants) about a compilation benefit for MoveOn.org he's doing with Spike Jonze.
Yup. Still in love.
There is exactly one song on Jon's playlist I'm positive that I know, plus three others I'm pretty sure I have heard but cannot call to mind.
And Jim, *snerk.* Superlatives always bite me in the ass.

Liz Phair?
plus three others I'm pretty sure I have heard
Hmmm... Helium? Nirvana? Pavement? Maybe Versus?
Oooh, Helium. Which song?
</too lazy to look at Jon's playlist>
Not telling. I'm no laziness enabler.
It's an excellent playlist. I'm looking forward to hearing the archived version.
Liz Phair?
Yep.
plus three others I'm pretty sure I have heard
Hmmm... Helium? Nirvana? Pavement? Maybe Versus?
Yes to Helium and Nirvana; the third is Huggy Bear. I might have heard the Pavement and Versus, but there's not as much bell-ringing going on for me with them.
(If you do not mind a wordy answer: The Huggy bear song was on a LOT of indie/riot grrrl mix tapes I got when I was doing a zine in high school, but I had to look for the words on Google to remember what it sounded like. All Helium songs sound basically the same to me, but I've heard most of them. The Nirvana is the most iffy -- I've *probably* heard it just because I've heard so much Nirvana, but it wouldn't surprise me if it passed me by.)
3 out of 4. Not bad. (yessss!!!! [pumps fist]).
The Helium song only ever appeared on their first 7" (pre-Matador). The Nirvana was also their first 7" and is a Shocking Blue cover (of "Venus" fame). The Versus is also from an early 7" and also appeared on a singles collection that appeared later.
That Huggy Bear song ROCKS.
And thank you Dr. T.
