WILCO CBS Sunday Morning - August 23, 2009

[calebengler]

White people....

[AHarmlessBlackMan]

is it a coincidence that jeff just covered the black eyed peas?

[trueblue44chelsea]

wud it be possible for somebody to name in sequence the tracks played on this clip. thanks

[harwicke]

@trueblue44chelsea Just do yourself a favor, and get the albums "Being There", "Summer Teeth", "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" & "Sky Blue Sky". Listen to the WHOLE Album. They are made to be listened to as entire pieces. Wilco is the best band over the last 12 years.

[saltemann]

@harwicke why omit their best album? wtf?

[harwicke]

@saltemann Summerteeth.

[brammerface]

The 50% that aren't in the know are missing out!

[TheAtomicPlunger]

Woohoo posted on my Birthday.



[sueandrewi]

Wilco are AMAZING!! JEFF TWEEDY is Brilliant and i am so glad to have heard about them!! Can't stop listening

WILCO FOREVER and EVER I FEEL it every song WOW!!

[ghettoindie]

wilco forever

[nolegsShay]

FUCKING IN LOVE WITH WILCO!

[vanceoliver]

Cissy Strut by The Meters :)

[MrsPallaLott]

you can tell the poor guy is uncomfortable with that type of woman in an interview. heck, i was annoyed with her.

[JEdgarGroover]

Jay Farrar is somewhere out there going, "Damn you! Damn you!"

[slye1991]

@JEdgarGroover Is he from Uncle Tupelo?

[aderesaddy]

My name is Mike from LA Although there busizz4me.info

[AwesomeCrazyPeter]

Who else thinks the fans of Tweedy's children will be watching this in 10-20 years?

[lawgdawg14]

this host (and/or his writers) are dick sandwich(s)

[brettawarner1970]

i hate it here.



[TheAppalachiansband]

Terrible story. Wilco has been huge since the 90's. Rolling Stone gave them one of th best albums of 90's.

[aginghipster]

Tweedy should have turned down this interview. What a bunch of dumbed down, homogonized, reporting for boring reality tv show watching jabronies!

[benjamminbond778899]

This so encouraging. Listen to WILCO damn it!

[wossog5]

amen! The hardest part about the story...that I can't covet them as my own anymore. Keep the music comin' Tweedy et al.

[daanje1062]

I gave up on WILCO around time of YHF. Jay Bennett was the coolest ever.

[daanje1062]

Seems like WILCO are making a living and all....but I gave up on em a few albums ago. Jay Bennett was the coolest ever.

[eastcoast454]

Good segment on CBS Sunday Morning. Good to see the band getting some acknowledgements. The music on the albums is unique and very satisfying.

[konacoffee11]

this was when i first heard of wilco, and ive loved them ever since. i wish id heard of them earlier, instead of the crap they play on the radio

[2Stardumb]

Love how his kid has a Television Marquee Moon album!

[steveguion]

@2Stardumb You can hear the influence of Marquee Moon in several places on Wilco (The Album). You can also hear the influence of Tim & Neil Finn (Crowded House, Finn Bros.). Tweedy is the coolest!!!

[2Stardumb]

@steveguion That he is!

[laxative126]

lol i go to shcool with his older kid spencer met him today he told me his dad was in a band wilco and i had never heard of it i thought itd be tiny but jeez

[steveguion]

@laxative126 The biggest "tiny" band in the world! lol

[blues970123]

at first I thought Jeff was sitting on the stool while black eyed peas song was playing...i was like ohhh shit.....why the fuck would they do that. 

[pinaymootang]

this is Jeffs band....soooo different then Uncle Tupelo...and i love what UT did.

[indieaner52]

2:39 total babe on the right

[subtractthegrizzly23]

Cissy strut

[UncleVRoy]

No reference to Uncle Tupelo at all?

[81Bear]

@UncleVRoy No reference to anybody else in the band!

[jumpkenny]

it's so funny when people who work for CBS try to understand the music of the independent persuasion.

[bradennn1]

what's the song at 2:12?

[wilcoman79]

@bradennn1 either way from sky blue sky.

[ZenBarracuda]

Best band in the world. They just keep on pushing it. Wilco always give you something fresh and new. What more can I say? Rock and roll perfection.

[NateMcMurph]

Why is any band not on the shitty Top 20 called at "Cult Favorite"?

[SleepyAshtray]

It's good to know that Jeff's kids will most likely be making great music long after Wilco is gone. Let's hope for the sake of music they do.

[jlipp133]

"What's the World Got in Store?" on Being There

[smythwaldron]

.•.(☯‿☯)•.¸

[Colemancab]

whats the song at 6:59?

[warmstringcheese]

btw this airing was on my birthday. how awesome : )

[warmstringcheese]

To Wilco: i would say you're the first band of your kind i have seen; a great band, i mean a *great* band, with little exposure. you are truly alternative rock, and you are purely that because of this type of exposure. if you were huge, i'd feel like i was sharing a band i really like with people i didn't want to.

be happy for what you guys are (i know i am). i would hate to see a blown-up Wilco. to have contrast in today's music world is to have originality, and you are chock full of that.

[DougM63]

World Cafe gave Wilco great exposure when Being There came out......

[dolgorukij]

are they jammin' on "elephants" riff, from "them crooked vultures"??? that's funny!

[a18491]

come to Portugal please! xD

[slye1991]

Wilco is awesome but that reporter is a stone cold fox

[tbzeee]

they had to mention that damn car commercial...oh well. only jeff tweedy would sell a song to volkswagen and then NOT release it as a single or put it on the LP (i think you can get it as one of those i-tunes bonus track deals). he's a promo man's nightmare, and that's why we love him. rock on, jeff.

[jordanjohnston91]

Tweedy's son was holding Television's Marquee Moon on the bus. He's done well.

[simonprohax]

for me, Wilco personifies american music, my god

[ejayhawk]

"most of you may not be familiar with the music of wilco" Well no crap! Have you seen American Idol? That's the crap that's promoted as 'good' Sheez!

[HeyJaw]

Funny they have a sucky ass song opening up this segment.

[boxfactoryband]

that kid on the drums is pretty killing for 13

[pcl13]

What a great band!

[HorsePussy]

Rocked?

[HorsePussy]

Rocked?

[HorsePussy]

Rocked?

[HorsePussy]

[mudblood6120]

[ThisIsWar257]

[CaptainVision]

love it . . . my band mate (from church) is playing drums with Leo Nocentelli from the Meters tonite in like an hour (at Harvelles). you're right, jeffs son is rippin it up. i love co-inky dinks. . . . i got to play in an acid jazz band with Nels in 92, 93, 94 (not a lot of gigs, but enough) . . . another Torrance High muso has been playin in Mavis Staples band a while, just sayin since Tweedy just produced Mavis . . . me, i can't play my way out of a paper bag, . . . . peace wilconians

[spagettiandblankets]

WILCO!!!!!

[bebopchess]

[zepkid1]

I like his SG

[petermacinnis8]

ahah I love that black eyed peas was the start haha brutal

[SelfmadeSpartan]

Saw them two nights ago. Fucking great

[MrRickmckenna]

I love Wilco and can't wait to see them next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[beatle608]

Did you see them in Duluth?

[jazzguitar1221]

thats fuckin awsome, thats the dad i will be

[fkthsh]

His kid comes out on the tour bus holding a Television record, awesome!

[funkyfreshguitar]

These guys rule :)

[robpen954]

I love Wilco,but have never seen them live. That will change on 3/22/10 when I get to see them in the Fillmore in Miami Beach! I can't fucking wait!

[bigskydeadhead]

i just saw them for the first time in Missoula, MT the other night. I have been a Tweedy fan since Uncle Tupelo. They blew me away...have fun. By the way check out Uncle Tupelo and Golden Smog if you haven't already...great stuff

[sunnylab]

hottie at 7:35

[IslandersLikeMe]

@sunnylab

Hotter hottie at 2:39

[lucigoosie69]

[kgj812]

"You Are My Face" off Sky Blue Sky

[marckelso]

@lucigoosie69

either way

[TABWISH]

Ive got my tickets for NJ..April baby

[ZRN959]

same

[rawoodruff]

what?

[revco68]

The worst thing about Wilco are all the smug fart-sniffers that frequent their fan sight viachicago.

[robinheil]

wilco!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lildrummerboy22]

i actually heard them on the radio the other day.. it was sweet

[wilcojoe13]

Nice little piece on Wilco, they definitely have never gotten teh recognition they deserve. Mainstream is for the byrds

[robinheil]

teh :)

[morningflow]

Burn the bowtie sir.

[jakemitchellband]

They may not get pop radio play, but at work(grocery store) they get more satellite radio play then probably anyone else out there. I sure am glad for that. haha

[MichaelJW72]

The new public radio music station in my town plays them a lot as well.

[Ranaldo20]

that was a pretty sweet groove he and his son were workin' on!

[MrCherryGhost]

Was thinking the same thing! Kid's got feeling. Nothing cooler.

[grasshoppertrousers2]

whats the name of the song at 2:10 ?

[OrgansOfColour90]

Either way on the album sky blue sky

[grasshoppertrousers2]

thanks

[chettonex]

R.E.M isnt Irish?

[Ranaldo20]

REM is from Athens, Ga

[degree7]

I have a theory, that the best bands from the States have country roots or styles.

Just look at Wilco. And even R.E.M.

Honest music.

[kmd843]

Thats not a theory its a fact; Country/blues were the predecessors of rock & roll.

Also, its not just the states, the stones, clapton, cream, etc... got off on blues

[degree7]

But a lot of great bands were influenced by jazz as well.

[gloryinmotion]

WILCO will be remembered long after they're gone.

[lapdogwilly1]

Anyone know the name of the song at 0:01?

Just kidding.

[oxBUSHIDOxo]

@lapdogwilly1 hahahaha

[MikeyBFreedom]

@lapdogwilly1 the meters

[lapdogwilly1]

I know I'm being a bit anal here, but I couldn't help but notice that they showed the covers of all their releases in chronological order but for some reason put "a ghost is born" in front of "YHF". Ooops.

[marcriganoskate]

haha, do something with that observant mind of yours yoda.

[johnrutenberg]

The kiss of death for them.

[WesMo]

at 6:54 i think its what's the world got in store if not its one of the songs on being there

[bgmiller5]

correct

[slye1991]

does anyone know the song at 6:54?

[themadcapper]

It's "What's the Wolrd Got In Store" off of Being There

[iamlameduck]

Last song on the first half of Being There -- my favorite album of theirs.

[robmc73]

"the little band that could?"

what a lame line/cliche... sorry Tweedy had to endure her....

[LILTRUCKER123]

I agree with you 100 percent. When she said that, I cringed.

The little band that could....what? If she is saying "...could finally meet their potential", then she is a bit misinformed. Jeff Tweedy met his potential when he 1st started out in music, with Uncle Tupelo, 22 years ago. Other than that, it's just a CBS interview and I'm being maniacal.

[marcriganoskate]

i think we should relax and be glad that tweedy and co. are growing, no?

[kellanmann]

it,s a Meters song

[kellanmann]

playing Cissy Strut with his kid!!! nice

[Colbstube]

This reporter sucks.

[Nigelxman]

Deadhead, what a mind blowingly stupid thing to say. Well done.

[slye1991]

wilco kicks ass!!

[deadheadman66]

look at the girl at 2:39...all the good lookin girls love wilco :)

[zemlechthad]

It's an Uncle Tupelo song called: Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down. Tweedy was in that band before Wilco.

[ColossalRofl]

whats the song at 6:25?

[SirSwass]

That's "Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down" by Uncle Tupelo

[ColossalRofl]

cool thanks man:)

[rsadlier]

I think it's an old traditional song, not an Uncle Tupelo composition.

[apacolipps]

I firmly agree that Wilco should be held up there alongside the greats. They are contemproary and exciting, but still carry the torch of classic music. I love having grown with Jeff Tweedy through his musical progressions. And I can't wait to see them in their home-city in a few days!

[tipsband04]

SWeeetttt I went too the show was sooo good!

[ZenBarracuda]

Wilco are my favourite band. I don't know why. None of the other stuff I listen to sounds anything like them. I love pop/rock, and that sure ain't Wilco.

[bebowilliams]

This was about Jeff Tweedy...the true lyrical genious of Wilco.

[Austere4]

Son Volt who?

[withears]

Outtasite Outtamind got radio play.

[TerryOS]

I think they live in the city of Chicago, and not suburban Chicago.

Wilco...I love you baby. (the lyric)

[dougmoore65]

Thank God for Wilco!

[marckelso]

Cool piece, but not a single mention of the rest of the band?

[bu77onboy]

If they mentioned the rest of the band it would make your tv explode form all the amazingness

[btxrocks]

Arguably the most important band in the world today

[michaelbolton83]

Jeff and his son jamming on Cissy Strut is so awesome in so many ways

[TheSailorGeek]

I'm surprised they didn't mention the documentary that was made about them. That's kind of a big deal.
