The Album leaks

Friday music blogging: Wilco again 1

The Wilco is coming! The Wilco is coming!

Wilco’s new album, accurately titled Wilco (The Album), is now available for streaming from the band’s site.

The album leaked onto download sites yesterday. Instead of freaking out and suing everyone, Wilco just put the album up on their site so all their fans could enjoy it. That’s classy, and smart. If you’re a fan you should reward them by buying the CD when it’s out and better yet, seeing them live. They shred.

You can pre-order the album here. This song is one of their patented extended-hypo-rawk face melters, “Bull Black Nova.” So good.

    Record sounds terrific. Thanks for posting it. Plus, Tweedy includes a line (from "You Never Know") that might help put the feet of those panic-stricken by thoughts of climate change back on the ground..."C'mon children, you're acting like children/every generation thinks it's the end of the world...."
