Are you like that in your normal life and it’s just true in your songwriting too? But I’ve read and probably misread tons of psychology and philosophy of all kinds. You and I have straddled this weird time in history where there’s almost complete opposite experience with how we consume music in general. [9] The title song, originally performed by the Carter Family, became strongly associated with the alternative country scene, and became the name of an influential alternative country periodical called No Depression. What I do is I fuck with the algorithm. We are incapable of resisting it. How do you get into that space where you’re actually using the associational part, as opposed to the, ah, shit, I got to take the dog to the vet, and if I don’t get this piece in today, and I’ve got — the endodontist keeps sending me a bill and I keep forgetting to pay it. What does that mean? I get paid to write words for The New York Times. We weren’t taken advantage of by a bad record and being out that amount of money.

That’s worth talking about and exploring too, and we will. Or, it’s like, oh, I get what they’re saying. Are there things you try to shut yourself off from or don’t let into your airspace so that you’re able to maintain a kind of middle approach to this?

And along with that comes my mother’s interest in basically anything that I would say, or do, or think about. EZRA KLEIN: But let’s say that your brain is broken by neoliberalism. But there’s this whole other part of it, which is — maybe it’s not quite craft, but it is the process and the consistency that you bring to it. Tweedy was enraged that Farrar decided to break up the band without notifying him, and this led to a series of harsh verbal exchanges. We’ve been talking about the creation side of it. The latter half of the set Tweedy plays solo, typically performing Wilco and Uncle Tupelo classics. JEFF TWEEDY: Well, I mean, let me just help you out here for a second. I find myself reading a lot of books like that and skimming over dozens of pages, really, kind of only entertaining my own thoughts. And I feel like I still am as much as I ever was. EZRA KLEIN: You have very little patience in the book for the idea that it’s through suffering that great art is created. EZRA KLEIN: The way you put that, about science-fiction subverting the novel, is really interesting. But they were never able to make that creative practice the center of their lives.

I have one tweet loaded that I have never used, that I’m just waiting for the right time. So let me ask you little bit about this as a practice? And also, it just belittles, to me, the idea that everyone struggles. [1]: 94–96  A.M. did not fare as well commercially in comparison to Son Volt's first album, only reaching number 27 on the Heatseekers chart while Son Volt's debut Trace hit the Billboard 200. This song also has the lyric about the sun coming up like a trombone — a big trombone. As a result of Tweedy's feelings on the political nature of some of the lyrics, Bragg recorded mostly political songs while Wilco recorded more neutral songs. How do working musicians reconcile the rewards of artistic risk with the toll it exacts on their personal life? This book was written with the cooperation of Wilco band members past and present. Southeast Middle School serves approximately 1270 students. But there are others too. And you can find a million different meanings for lots of different combinations that are unnatural or maybe shocking in a way.

Statements by MLA and MLA Communities MLA fosters excellence and is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in professional practice, leadership of health sciences libraries, and for information professionals, now and in the future. I think it was worn as a badge of authenticity or something that you didn’t care about those things. JEFF TWEEDY: Terrible, amazing movie — and that’s one of the most beautiful things about that movie, is that it just completely turns all of that cinematic language on its head. Is that something that has taught you about tapping into these parts of you? And do you want me to play this song?

But politics is bigger than any one policy, building out that dream of what we are trying to build, that idea of the good society and of the virtuous life. The band renamed themselves The Primitives in 1984, taking their name from a song by garage rock band The Groupies. That’s intolerable in a lot of cases. They are not fully edited for grammar or spelling. And by doing that, I think it allows a listener to maybe color it in with themselves a little bit more. And it throws everything into total disarray. (Click image below). And that, to me, is just getting better and better at writing without judgment, without direction, without trying to steer your mind to the specific things that make you feel good about yourself, or make you think you’re smart, or make you think you’re writing well. But I do think that you can look at a lot of those aspects of it being a business with creativity also. I think that music streaming algorithms are pretty easy to confuse. EZRA KLEIN: Through first approximation, you just — that’s the point. But it was a good decision, in the long run, to protect the feeling of being excited to play music. Tweedy was indifferent to the idea of working with Bragg, but Jay Bennett's enthusiasm about the idea convinced Tweedy to get the band involved in the project. And because of that, you take the time, and maybe in some cases, you take enough time for it to actually become a really powerful, important piece of your life in terms of — it just becomes indispensable as a record that you own, and basically almost like a friendship emerges with this piece of art. [1]: 105–106, Tweedy and Wilco began to explore new styles and broke from the style of previous recordings on the seminal sprawling double album Being There in 1996. [1] In 1981, when Tweedy was fourteen years old, he befriended Jay Farrar in an English class at Belleville Township High School West. And this is “The Ezra Klein Show.” There are these ideas about creativity that I’ve always been suspicious of — for instance, that making art requires immense suffering. Tweedy quit drinking entirely after meeting future wife Sue Miller, although he replaced this habit with smoking marijuana. You’ve finish songs. I mean, you have a very moving story about your dad, who you describe that he’d get upset and then I go down to the basement. For instance, I think social media has become really tough on a lot of writers I know, because then you’ve got this incredibly intense rush of feedback of how people receive what you do. But yeah, I think that was a really great lesson my dad taught me without trying to. You’re going to write words? Jeffrey Scot Tweedy (born August 25, 1967) is an American songwriter, musician, author, and record producer best known as the singer and guitarist of the band Wilco. Office Hours: 7:30-4:00 Middle School Community 5220 Tweedy Blvd. You write in the book a lot about growing up in a record store culture and having a track down an album. Thanks for having me. I never know what it means. But there’s a certain me-ness to what I’m putting out into the world that is something you have to be somewhat focused on and willing to share. Right? But the idea that art comes from somewhere mystical, that it is the product of profound and ineffable talent and inspiration, I don’t want to believe that one. And that’s a thing that quieting a self-conscious part of your brain — do you do things you’re really bad at? And in some ways, I’m happy to not know quite what it didactically meant, because it allows me to mean it too. I couldn’t get every book I wanted in the world. I’m a skilled writer. After Uncle Tupelo broke up Tweedy formed Wilco which found critical and commercial success, most notably with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and A Ghost Is Born, the latter of which received a Grammy for Best Alternative Album in 2005. [51] In 2004, he entered a dual diagnosis rehabilitation clinic in order to receive treatment for an addiction to prescription painkiller Vicodin. JEFF TWEEDY: Well, I think the number one job of anybody that ends up being in a position where they’re making music and putting it out into the world, and it does become somewhat of a business, and you have a band to run, and all those things, I think it’s something that you have to consciously be aware of — protecting your inspiration. But in the case of some of these lyrics that I write that tend to be more abstract, what they mean to me is the feeling, the shock of mystery that happens when I say them out loud or when I sing them. But his work got recommended to me by a listener of the show. And it’s going to hurt to not be good at something. It’s really helpful to disappear when you’re suffering. He’s got this insistence that it can and should just be part of a balanced life, just part of a balance day. You can figure out a way to put your records out that feels of a piece with what your art is. EZRA KLEIN: No, no, no. And so I’m also pushing for clarity. JEFF TWEEDY: Well, I mean, I’m aiming at a different truth than you are, I think. It doesn’t end up feeling creative it feels like an immersion in everything that’s coming down on me during the rest of the day. Found inside"A young doctor stumbles through his experience as a first year intern at a major New York hospital"-- I might have been in a doctor’s office or a lobby where — say, pardon our dust or something — like, please be patient with us. A lot of the songs I’ve written I don’t entirely feel equipped to talk about their genesis, precisely because I was able to disappear and come back with something that felt worth singing. [50] His amplifier of choice is a Vox AC30. But as I’ve gotten older, I think that part has gotten bigger. [28], Wilco recorded twelve tracks for a sixth studio album entitled Sky Blue Sky, which was released on May 15, 2007. It’s actually kind of a fun challenge to make those algorithms not work the way they’re supposed to. But the idea of somebody hating it, all you have to do is think about how much stuff that other people love that you hate and realize that there’s room for a lot of opinion about almost any work of art. JEFF TWEEDY: Everybody that does something similar to what we do, I think, has been indulged in some way. That’s why songs exist. One of the most embarrassing moments in my career at Warner Brothers was the day they let Wilco go. For us, over the years, we’ve never toured more than a few weeks at a time. [MUSIC PLAYING] This is a conversation show. I never have good critical thoughts about the office. I never know what it means. And something like that would be the word ladders I describe in the book, where you maybe imagine all of the verbs associated with the profession, like a baseball player. It sees around the artifice of it in a really kind of poignant way that a lot of novels don’t even attempt. So maybe there’s a way to transform it from being practical list to maybe make a list of wishes. By this time, Tweedy was a fan of The Ramones and country music while Farrar enjoyed The Sex Pistols. [24], Scott McCaughey contacted Tweedy about recording an album together for a The Minus 5 release. Can you just tell me a bit about that? I mean, you’re talking about something that it sometimes feels mystical. EZRA KLEIN: Well, let me ask something that’s related to it, because we’ve been talking here about the things you do. Under the pseudonym Scott Summit, Tweedy released Down by the Old Mainstream with Golden Smog in 1996. I think that’s enough to be — not necessarily writing songs even, but just having a daily habit of just thinking with a pencil or thinking with some meditative intent is really beneficial. JEFF TWEEDY: I’ve always really wanted to think of myself as an honest person and have always struggled with the idea that I was capable of dishonesty and capable of things that I didn’t like. Archives Reading Room Open by Appointment Only. EZRA KLEIN: I mean, everything, right? JEFF TWEEDY: Yeah, I think it might be in there. And I always have been. You’ve got some real stories about that in there around — I think the famous one is around “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” and your label. For me, personally, just being one of the lucky few that’s been able to get help for some of the addiction problems and mental health issues I’ve had in my life, that creates a sense of that survivor’s guilt that I can’t really separate from my good fortune outside of that. And I was curious, for you, if it’s — do you feel like you understand when you write these what ends up on the other side of the relationship, of the interpretive relationship? And it’s kind of like along with what I describe is disappearing. We tend to think of certain adjectives and certain adverbs in more compartmentalized chunks that makes language a little flat. But I also think there are maybe other organic ways to do that outside of commerce if you just try a little harder to come at things with a little bit more of an open mind and willing to accept that your first impression might not be correct. Your dad and his poetry, your brother who wrote novels that he wasn’t able to finish. I think it’s less reliant upon logos and really kind of surrendering to our mythmaking abilities, and our abilities to see what isn’t being said, and the way haiku works, where you use a very, very sparse amount of syllables and you end up seeing the entire scene, including things that are not explicitly stated. JEFF TWEEDY: No, I don’t think that’s strange at all. But maybe I’m just speaking too much of my own experience here, but I have certainly found that as the structure around the core creative work expands, it can be pretty overwhelming. I have never really been successful in an academic environment. My first thought about a lot of things like this is that sounds like you’re discomforted by the way your mind normally behaves. But over time, it’s just become something I see that really is easily overlaid over a lot of different types of lives and experiences. I mean, it makes me sad, not necessarily for myself. EZRA KLEIN: Jeff Tweedy, thank you very much. In early May 2009, former Wilco member Jay Bennett sued Tweedy for breach of contract. And so it lurks for me. In late 1986, the band decided to change their name to Uncle Tupelo, because a more popular British band was also using the name "The Primitives". They get in the car, you see them on the bridge, and then they’re still in the same room in the next scene. Would you feel good if you succeeded at writing a poem that you thought was terrible? [43], In 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic Susan Tweedy and her family created a recurring video series on Instagram dubbed The Tweedy Show featuring Jeff and their sons performing original and cover songs. But on the other hand, you’ve got a band. In 1994, Tweedy formed Wilco with John Stirratt, Max Johnston, and Ken Coomer. Now you know they’re somewhere else. It’s just using the texture and the feel of language to reach parts of who we are that our intellects don’t really have much control over. The band was also known as The Primatives due to a misprint on their business cards, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album, Recording Industry Association of America, Sunken Treasure: Live in the Pacific Northwest. [48] He also has been known to use a Breedlove 000[49] and even designed a limited edition 000 for Breedlove in 2007. But I think it’s much, much simpler to look at them as a part of the same type of creativity, and at the same time keep them somewhat separate in that — it’s not that hard to distinguish what things are running a business and what things are making something up. Is that a different process? EZRA KLEIN: I hear what you’re saying, that it can be done creatively. Office Hours: 7:30-4:00 I think that a lot of things like social media, me trying to imagine what people are saying sometimes could probably be worse than what they’re really saying. But I like the idea of having the talent to use your talent. So sharing all of those details kind of is this hybrid mom-boy thing. Maybe there’s a cost, but there’s a benefit on the other side. I remember not having cable. I remember getting a personal computer in my household. That’s actually part of the job, I think. 106 were here. [1]: 113, 116  Being There was a commercial success, selling 300,000 copies and peaking in the top half of the Billboard 200. He decided to learn how to play a few chords before somebody "called him out" on the lie.
