Happy Wilco (The Album) Release Day

Wilco’s seventh disc, Wilco (The Album), hits stores today nearly six weeks after it was leaked, which led the band to stream it on their website. With each passing release Jeff Tweedy and co. seem to be gaining the commercial success that many critics have been predicting since they formed.

To celebrate the release of Wilco (The Album) our friends at Paste Magazine have staged a Wilco Takeover of their website featuring all sorts of fun articles about the band including a list of their five favorite nonsensical Wilco lyrics, a look at what we’ve learned about Jeff Tweedy from his son’s blog and more. Tweedy hasn’t been doing too much press for Wilco (The Album), but he did speak with Chicago Public Radio and Time Magazine. The latter contains some of Jeff’s thoughts on why the current lineup has lasted so long…

We’ve stumbled upon a working chemistry. Maybe it’s age, maybe it’s experience — I think that certainly contributes to everyone being able to keep their perspective rooted in some reality. My being a much healthier person contributes to the overall stability of the band. But mostly I think it’s a bunch of guys who have been playing music for long time, who realize Wilco is a rare and unique opportunity to play at a level where you’re assured of a certain audience and you’re being heard.

Wilco returns to the stage tonight at the Britt Pavilion in Jacksonville, OR.
