It’s Saturday evening and the baby and I are just relaxing at home watching basketball, reading some books, and listening to music. Amy is out working, so tonight its just the two of us. Hailey (and Daddy) decided that she wanted to listen to some Wilco rarities while she watched “Big Baby” Davis jiggle around the basketball court as LSU upset Texas.
So we listened to a bunch of tunes. Some Jack Johnson (from the Curious George soundtrack), some Elizabeth Mitchell, but mostly Jeff Tweedy and Wilco stuff. There is nothing like a baby shrieking, laughing, and making what we call Indian sounds along to the music. Below is a partial playlist from our evening.
MP3 | Wilco – Hummingbird (Alternate) The Wilco Book
MP3 | Wilco – Blasting Fonda Outtasite (Outta Mind) CDS
MP3 | Wilco – Not For The Season Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Demos
MP3 | Wilco – Student Loan Stereo Shot In The Arm CDS
MP3 | Wilco – She’s A Jar (Alternate) Summerteeth Demos
MP3 | Wilco – I Am Trying To Break Your Heart (Alternate) Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Demos
eric, thanks for stopping by my place. I like your blog too and am going to link up to you in the blogroll!
merz
You’re the man Eric! Thanks for the Wilco I hadn’t heard.
i hate that headline.
YUCK.
Those YHF demos are so good. I love what the album became, but those demos are really fantastic, especially “Not for the Season” and “Cars Can’t Escape.”
What a fantastic way to spend an evening
that is probably the best way i can think of to spend an evening. thanks for sharing that being a parent can involve musical joy as well, and less-diluted joy when you hear the laugh of your child to a song you throw on. hope she feels better!
