I've been a little gonzo over Wilco the past week and a half.
I can't remember what it started with; probably anticipation and build-up to the release of A Ghost is Born. I've also been reading Greg Kot's new book about them, Learning How to Die.
It's been a great read so far - I like the part when Tweedy was at the Grammy's for their nomination for Mermaid Avenue . . . "The band was quickly reminded it didn't belong at the glitzy Los Angeles ceremony for the Grammys when Tweedy stood in the aisle with a handful of programs while he waited for his bandmates and Sean "Puffy" Combs mistook him for an usher".
There's a lot of great information (probably too much) into the relationships between the bands members.
The Wilco hubub will probably die down once I see the Sam Jones documentary, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (I need to buy that).
I also ordered two Wilco stickers this morning - I'm so bad. I've also been trolling and posting on ViaChicago.Org a lot the past week - I'm such a nerd.
