WILCO brings it in the TDC

[Magicscreen2]

Jeff and the boys sound great in this Tiny Desk Concert. Looking a little bit older, but still sounding very sharp.

What did they bring?

Pot-luck?

23 skidoo, dude.

 

[Magicscreen2]

They brought music, Lance. They brought melody and harmony and rhythm.

They brought some freaky little air-keyboard-thing that you power with a piece of clear latex tubing.

I posted the link, Lance. You don't have to take my word for it. Go get it, Lance.

DO it.

Wilco is a construction company that is based in the vicinity of my residence. I cannot recommend them to do anything that isn't half-assed.

An old 16 hp would go anywhere and only weighted about 250#.

Is the owner's name, Rodger?

 

[Not Normal]

Wilco is a great band. I was at one of their very first shows. I was a big Uncle Tupelo fan, so I was all about seeing the new band with most of the members from Uncle Tupelo. Now there are only two of those guys left, but they still sound really great. Jeff Tweedy has always been a great songwriter.

No, it's "Shortcut".

Do you know what that weird latex-tube-keyboard-thing is, NN? (They used it in the last song.)

I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Granted, if you weren't already familiar with this bunch, you'd probably need to work against your legit disdain associated with that name.

Tweedy's a real talent though, so it might be worth the effort?

I didn't like U.T.
I don't like Ben Folds
I don't like Wilco

But...

I like the Tiny Desk (for the most part)

Andra Day

J Mascis

Chvrches

The National

 

[Magicscreen2]

What's not to like about Wilco?

I've never heard of Chvrches. Very nice. Thanks -- the sound sort of reminds me of The Sundays.

There are so many great things to choose from in the TDC pantheon. You are sure to find something to love, and something to hate. But, there is truly something for everyone.

 

[Disgustipated]

I just never have. Not even Uncle Tupelo so maybe I just don't like Tweedy.

But you're right. There are so many performances that you will definitely find something you like. I also love finding some new music and bands I never thought would be very good in that setting.

Death Cab is one of my favorite TDCs:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi6...--VA0Lgb1vf11evsEpitpw8F_mx_BS3m2tIpKVC02nHiw

Ha! See? That's one of them. Never liked them, saw them on TD, loved them, bought the album, gave it away. Perfect example.

 

[Magicscreen2]

Pay it forward, brah.

Its a melodica. Its in the accordion/harmonica family. There are reeds that are excited by the wind of blowing into it. On the Ben Folds Five song Smoke its the instrument playing the melody before the vocal.

I did a youtube search, so I could get it to play on my TV and actually watched the older Wilco performance, I'm watching the new one now.

Sorry, we can't be friends anymore.

DO it.

Thanks; i was really just commenting in the "bring it" colloquialism.

I just listened to Smoke again. Very cool, NN. Thanks!

Sweet, sweet, Lance.
