Unemployed? Wilco has a treat for you.

Jeff Tweedy and the boys have made more magic with Woody Guthrie material, this time a cover of The Jolly Banker. You can download it from Wilcoworld for a nominal donation to the Woody Guthrie Foundation or for nothing if "you are unemployed or otherwise unable to donate now", though "please keep it in mind for the future when your circumstances improve." Does underemployed count? How about just broke?

In other Wilco news, a new album has been announced! It will be titled Wilco (the Album) and will feature the song Wilco (the Song). Clever or annoying? As long as it's good (and what have they done that isn't?), who cares? Check out Jeff's Colbert Report appearance and the live premiere of the new track...

  1. Can't wait. BTW, did you see they're streaming Conor's new album on the NPR website? It's out May 5th... I just pre-ordered it.
