Start off Friday easy. Everything Wilco does is magic.

Just listened to Wilco - The Album - from beginning to end. This is the closing song ‘Everlasting Everything’. Amazing lyrics. I only discovered the band recently via @fredwilson and they blew me away with this album. Enjoy.
As a musician, I don’t want to expend any energy whatsoever preventing people from hearing our music. I think that’s antithetical to the idea of making it. Yes, we streamed it. Basically we set it up so people who felt guilty about stealing our music could donate some money to our favorite charity.

In May, Wilco’s new album was leaked online a month before the record was released. So the band decided to stream it for free and ask fans to donate to their favorite charity. Brilliant.

Cool. These guys get it. Listening to their latest album Wilco and it is really great. The guitar player rocks.
