Mixology: Wilco Rarities
I can’t help that I have Wilco on the brain - Jeff Tweedy and company wrap up their five-night career spanning run tonight and I’m off to see them in Philly on Saturday (mmm cheesesteaks and Wilco the perfect combination). So with that in mind I figured I’d dip into their catalog and offer up a mix of some of the rarities they have busted out at the Riviera in Chicago so far this week. Enjoy!:

Where’s “Hotel Arizona”? That was a rocker last week. Definitely did not expect to catch it twice.
