Wilco is, for my dollars, the best band playing rock music today. However, I just can't listen to a cover of Thirteen that wasn't done by Elliott.

Hi There! Nice blog, it jsut happens that everytime I try to open a song, Firefox finds an error and closes itself. . .

Workin' fine with Firefox 2.0.0.16 on my trusty mac.

Got a lot of these scattered on traded CDs here and there... but all in one place? And zipped up pretty? Heather, I'm a happy girl. You officially rocked my day, woman!

As if Jeff Tweedy's neck beard alone didn't make me happy enough already.

wow, wow, let me say it one more time, wow! i went to univ of missouri from 88-92 (and worked at the blue note) and saw UT many times. since then, UT/Wilco have been one of my fav bands. pulling these together brings back many fond memories! saw Wilco's first three shows ever at Lounge Ax (RIP) and 100s of times since, and always loved their covers. good stuff!
