What am I doing the day after my 30th birthday? Oh, just sittin’ in the second row at the Wilco show, nbd. I’ll try not to get myself publicly scolded by Jeff Tweedy again… but ya never know!
"I desired to hear the final strains of The Whole Love because it’s a damned good album. I simply didn’t want it to run off the rails, and the less opportunities available to do that, the better. Unfortunately, Wilco’s past two efforts have trained me to expect that at least some measure of Teva-clad dad rock might creep into the mix. And while this new one certainly flirted with that, the album ultimately thrived without any references to lawn-mowing."

Wilco at Sasquatch
NPR Music provided my soundtrack for the entire holiday weekend, but this 2-hour set at 12:30am was just too late. So glad they archived most of the shows.

If I made a list of “songs I shouldn’t put on the imaginary mix tape I shouldn’t be making for the guy that just broke my heart,” this would be number one. Hypothetically speaking.

These are the song names I scribbled down in the dark and in a state of near euphoria… so I can only hope it’s accurate. The one thing I do know is that we sat behind Glenn Kotche’s parents. They chatted with us after the show and were really nice, and really proud of their son (the youngest of six kids… goooo Catholics!). It was an amazing night. Can’t wait for part two in Clearwater!

Jeff Tweedy & Jay Bennett - “Pecan Pie” (live 7.25.99)
As I walk along and stumble,
Trains rumble in my head.
As I breathe along and grumble,
I think about you instead.
And a piece of pecan pie
And you, that's all I want.
Just a piece of pecan pie.
And all I want is you.
