Wilco (The Album)



In a swank Chicago recording studio...

Jeff Tweedy:  So we got to think of a name for our new album fellow Wilco members.

Nels Cline:  How about something that when people hear the name of it they know instantly it's the new Wilco album?

John Stirratt:  How about just self titled?  And then add "the album" to it with parenthesis? 

Jeff Tweedy:  Beautiful.  Now what about the cover art?  We need something that also represents us as a band...

Glenn Kotche:  How about a sweet picture of me playing my drumset?

Jeff Tweedy:  Who are you?  Awful idea.

Pat Sansone:  I'm in the band too.

Jeff Tweedy:  Uh huh.  Ok, looks like it's up to me again.  I saw a camel on TV the other day.  And everyday is someone's birthday and you gotta wear a party hat... Got it!  Wilco.  Camel in a party hat.  Brilliant!  But if a camel isn't in a desert, where else could it be?  Of course!  On a patio in Chicago just to remind everyone where we are from!  Fellow Wilco members, I've done it again.  You can thank me whenever...

  3. It's ok, kind of more old school style Wilco. Much prefer last trio of albums.
