    Wilco Video: You Are My Face

    Wilco’s new CD, Sky Blue Sky, goes everywhere I go, and it’s really woven itself into my psyche. If you don’t have it, do yourself a favor. One of my favorites from the album has popped up in some live video action. My man Nels Cline – subject of my one and only interview thus far, kicks it into high gear with his guitar solo… I’m also LOVING Tweedy’s vocals on this tune, particularly in this part:

    I have no idea how this happens
    All of my maps have been overthrown
    Happenstance has changed my plans
    So many times my heart has been outgrown
