Wilco - I am trying to break your heart

At some point overnight I and a few others got an email from James, asking what our selections for a 13 song Wilco playlist would be.

It’s a surprisingly difficult question: I don’t even really think of myself as “a Wilco fan” and I still had something like twenty possibilities pop into my head. Plus I’m half inclined to just put on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in its entirety, because it’s hard to come up with a better collection of songs than this one.

Seems that I’ll be listening to a bunch of Wilco today. Feel free to join me.

To me Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is the only ever “perfect” album. No other album, ever, is perfect like it is. Not Sgt. Peppers, not Nevermind, not Dark Side of the Moon, not Led Zeppelin IV, not Pet Sounds, not Highway 61 Revisited… you get my point.

Mind you I’m not saying Yankee is the BEST album of all-time, that’s a matter of preference. I’d even argue with myself it’s not the best Wilco album (for me it’s Sky Blue Sky - jesus that album is underrated), but I am saying Yankee is the only album that is “perfect”. Truly a 10. There isn’t a note you can change, a lyric you can rewrite, an order you could rearrange to improve on it. And you couldn’t have released it at a better time. It is what it is - perfection.

And, taking this one step further, if James asked me (he didn’t and I’m not hurt all all James, ha)… as perfect as Yankee is, I’d still pick One Wing off Wilco (the album). That’s just my Wilco jam for many reasons.

Anyways…excellent pick Whit and I look forward to seeing the entire 13 song playlist. Also, sorry for the long Wilco diatribe, I just get pretty passionate about them and some day hope to have Jeff Tweedy’s baby.

Found this young man leaning against a tree in Boston Commons, writing in a notebook: “It’s sort of hip hop, sort of poetry,” he said.

I asked him if I could photograph a page.

I pray for peace, I search for love,
I hope you hear me out cuz no one ever does;
we gotta stick together all we got is us;
we can’t stop the negative unless we
spread the peace and love;

Step outside of self, step into the world; notice
how everything we do affects the future boys and girls;
hate crimes happen every damn day;
got my momz scared
my sister can’t go out to play,
because her fear is that some psycho
feels like snatching kids today
all these damn police but people still ain’t feeling safe;

Why does it take a tragedy to bring people
together; we know its bound to happen,
we should try to stay that way forever;
now this is not to say I’m better;
but at a young age I learned that birds fly together;
it’s a survival tactic and I suggest we use it
let’s come together, as we spread the peace
and love music
