Wilco Will Love You Podcast

Here's the written version of this interview with Liam on The Tonearm's website.

Feel free to download/purchase Pilot Light on Liam's Bandcamp.

Follow Liam on Instagram or head to his website to find out where he's headed next on tour.

The lyrics Meredith references in this conversation are from Liam's song "Day Off," and this video incorporates his interest in cooking and gathering with friends in a really sweet way. Give it a watch!

And this video of Liam cooking up a dish for Jeff Tweedy is just plain charming.

Here's the album Kirk and Paul made together (and Mary took the photos for it!)

We talk a bit about our Solid Sound experience: here's the website for the Festival, in case you're curious

Here's the stuff Meredith has written for The Tonearm, the generous publication that will be allowing us to double-dip to source some interviews for future episodes

Here's Meredith's very official website

EPISODE SWAP! Nels Cline was gracious enough to guest on both of our podcasts, so Lawrence Peryer of The Tonearm and Meredith of Wilco Will Love You (who now contributes to The Tonearm) decided to post each other's episodes to treat our listeners to a little something different. A big thank you to Nels and to all of you for checking these out!
You can find more episodes of The Tonearm podcast here.
Lawrence also does print interviews for The Tonearm.
And Meredith, of WWLY, has some articles there as well.
Nels speaks mostly about his latest project Trio of Bloom on this episode with Lawrence.
Craig Taborn is one of his illustrious collaborators in Trio of Bloom.
Marcus Gilmore completes the Trio.
And, of course, Lawrence and Nels talk about "Impossible Germany" in this conversation⏤namely, the challenge of having to replicate that performance again and again. Lawrence also has a beautiful observation about it. We won't spoil it for you!

(RECORDED JULY 30th, 2024) Lisa Machac is a huge Wilco fan (via the Jayhawks and Uncle Tupelo), and the original founder of Omni Sound Project, an organization that provides community and opportunities to sharpen audio skills to people from marginalized genders. The Mares chat with her about the many influences they share and on Wilco's influence in their lives.
Omni Sound Project is now run by Isabelle Banos. Find it over on Substack.
Mary and Lisa geeked out on the Jayhawks a bit. (Here they are, if you're not familiar.)
Lisa mentions this performance, Bill Callahan and Nels Cline performing "Sky Blue Sky" at the Austin City Limits 7th Annual Hall of Fame honors.
Lisa's favorite Wilco song is "She's A Jar," and this performance of it, 1999-04-21 Irving Plaza, New York, NY, is said to be a good one.
Meredith and Lisa both write for Tape Op, thanks to Lisa getting Meredith involved.
Meredith has this yellow bunny Tape Op acoustic panel from GIK Acoustics.
Lisa and Meredith talk a lot about Tape Op's editor Larry Crane on this podcast, and he has been a guest in the past.
This is the Jackpot! Studios Substack they reference.
Jeff Tweedy has a Substack called Starship Casual, if you didn't already know.
And so does his buddy George Saunders, a hero.
Lisa's recs: Charli XCX, Cowboy Carter by Beyonce, Indigo de Souza
Meredith's rec: Hurray for the Riff Raff, The Past Is Still Alive
Mary's rec: Madison Cunningham featuring Tim Bernardes
Lisa's podcast is no longer going, unfortunately. But it was very good!
Here's Lisa's current website. She has since pivoted from working in the music space to the hospitality industry.
Avanti Provisions is Lisa's Montana-based concierge service.

Having seen Finom perform, and having briefly met the duo, at Solid Sound 2024, Meredith and Mary were so excited to chat with Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart about their experiences with and love for the Tweedy family and about their own respective musical journeys.
Jeff Tweedy's latest album Twilight Override features these two prominently, and you can listen to the album all the way through from the passenger side perspective as Jeff drives around in this YouTube video.
While that's pretty cool, they're actually in his music video for "Feel Free."
Macie Stewart's website is here, and she has an Instagram as well.
Sima Cunningham, too, has a website as well as an Instagram.
Additionally, the band has a website  and an Instagram.
Please check out their amazing album Not God, produced by Jeff Tweedy.
We also spoke about Sima Cunningham's album High Roller on the pod...
...but didn't get to chat about Macie Stewart's album When the Distance is Blue, because it hadn't been released yet.
Their music videos are a lot of fun, too. Here's what they have for "Haircut," "Cyclops," "Not God," and "As You Are."
