basement shows are fun. by danielle davies photography

oh hey Julian

I’m frightened by the devil
And I’m drawn to those ones that ain’t afraid
I remember that time that you told me, you said
Love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine
‘Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time…

“Little memories, marching on your little feet, working the machine. Will it spin, will it soar? My little dream, working the machine.”

Another work/school day, but god knows you’re on Tumblr reblogging pictures of corgis and sordid animated gifs.

Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy on the creative process behind “Born Alone”

“I brought a little travel guitar with me on vacation over the new year in Mexico. One evening I started playing a bit and came up with the main riffs for the song and recorded it on my phone. The melody and chord progression came about in maybe five minutes. This song came around at the end of the process of making this record. I dug up that piece of music again at my home in Michigan-­­a we have a lake cabin where I come out and write sometimes.

I wasn’t coming up with anything specific, so I opened up a book of American poetry and randomly turned to the Emily Dickinson pages, no one poem in particular. I took a lot of words, most of them verbs, and put them against words that looked appealing to me from Whittier and other 1800s poetry. It’s just looking at the words and writing a little poem trying to use as many of them as possible. If I’m lucky it all starts to settle meter-wise on the melody I have in my head, and then a certain amount of tweaking goes on to coax out a little more feeling. It’s an exciting way to write, without trying to steer the ship in any one direction.”

Read more at The Atlantic and watch the new video for “Born Alone.” Wilco’s new album “The Whole Love,” comes out on September 27.

Dickinson and Whittier? this is why I love Wilco.
