I know I’ll make it back / one of these days :: Wilco vinyl contest
On most days, my favorite Wilco album is Summerteeth (maybe on most warm days like today, or perhaps it would always be my favorite if I lived in California full time).
So today I am pleased to have a new contest to giveaway the 180-gram double disc gatefold vinyl of Summerteeth. The vinyl-loving folks over at Because Sound Matters let me pick something from their cool stock on vinyl to give away to you guys (not the Neil Young retrospective!), and with summer just around the corner, this one felt right.
TO WIN: Let’s talk about your favorite Wilco _______ (seemingly nonsensical but somehow profound song lyric, live concert moment, etc). You pick what to write about, and the responses will be enjoyable for me to read in these coming days of travel and services. I’ll pick a winner when I get home on Sunday night.
Me? Probably “Via Chicago” when I first saw it live in Denver and it wrenched at my insides when the song broke apart all dissonant. Still one of my favorite shows, and favorite things I’ve written about a show. It blew the veneer off my insides.
Via Chicago (live in Denver 9/1/07) – Wilco
“But the wind blew me back via Chicago, in the middle of the night
And not without fight at the crush of veils and starlight“
Name: Heather Browne
the winner is Christopher! Thanks all for playing along. I LOVED reading your entries.

Wow awesome, like everyone who ever won anything in the history of time ever said: this is so unexpected.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go brag on the Wilco fan forum (viachicago).
