Was literally at a local bookstore this weekend and almost got this book. Bought "60 Songs that Define the '90s Instead." May go back today and pick this one up.

I will likely get the Rob Harvilla book but having listened to every episode, I wonder how much new stuff there is. Perhaps you can let me know.

I've only heard of the podcast but never listened to it. I know the podcast is popular so that's why I bought the book. Unfortunately, I can't compare the two, but I've been enjoying the book so far.

I’m enjoying the book right now! I went to a book tour event with Tweedy when he came through D.C., which I wrote about here

Thanks for a great little article, I now know more than I did an hour ago.

I haven’t really followed Wilco since the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot album, but Jeff Tweedy headlined a music festival I was at this summer. At one point between songs he said, “Thank you for listening to my songs about death. Here’s another one.” 😂

He does have some of the absolute best stage banter.

I enjoyed his other book "How to Write One Song" so I'll probably give this one a read as well.

Great read! I’m very interested in reading this book, as I’m a Jeff Tweedy fan as well. Thanks for the review!
