Jeff Tweedy poses for portraits on his birthday on August 25, 2016.

"Art of Almost" is this strange combination of all the different members putting their mark on something and having it still somehow hold up and be a thing.

For frontman and songwriter Jeff Tweedy, who formed the now six-piece band in 1994 with bassist John Stirratt, it's a record that was a joy to make. Spinning out webs of deductions and melodies

There was a lot of skepticism in the band, not across the board, but in particular Jay, I think, was very skeptical. I think we record so quickly after songs are written that my complaint about Wilco records in general would be that, and I think this may be true of a lot of bands, is that the album tempos are just glacial compared to where they end up live.

But one of the things that never really was discussed as much as being dropped from the record label or the situation between the band and [then-member] Jay Bennett at the time was the way the record really came together. For over 22 years, Chicago band Wilco has amassed a wonderful 10-album discography exploring and deconstructing rock 'n' roll's many incarnations. As we played it over the years, it's gotten more monolithic or something.

"I Must Be High" is the first take of the first performance that we ever did as Wilco. Vedo feat. He basically forced me to do it. I really wish that that was part of the movie, in hindsight—though I haven't seen the movie in forever. I think it was a song I originally didn't have a lot of high hopes for—it was kind of like we were [recording] bonus material. We care about it more than you can possibly know—it's really important to us, but it's also a rock 'n' roll band. enable_page_level_ads: true She was laughing at being a very important person at Horde, which is pretty funny now in hindsight.

I'm not a particularly nostalgic guy, but that "Dreamer In My Dreams" session was a pretty sweet moment. It was just to remind ourselves that joy is a part of rock 'n' roll, that irreverence is a part of it, that, I don't know, that we're allowed to have fucking fun.

Lake Michigan property values in Indiana are climbing despite erosion issues.

the situation between the band and [then-member] Jay Bennett. Come clean, listen and talk I'm not trying to just be a contrarian, but I think that the song "Common Sense" is probably going to be like the least favorite song of everybody on the record. Hold a private light on a Michigan shore, You fool me with a kiss of kidsmoke I think we knew we had enough for an album, but we weren't really thinking about it being a double record yet, so we were just throwing all of the song ideas out there. And drug addiction was compounding that. [Laughs.] There's something about allowing your brain to work to sort of hear what the next chord might be when you're writing that I think makes things just slower in those stages.

This jam was posted by 19 people but DrFilth was first Number Two in the #MonstersJams series. It was such a watershed moment, getting that mix done, and it was so exciting to work with Jim and hear the potential in these songs being expanded upon.

Their latest, "Schmilco," which is due out Friday via their own label, dBpm Records, is another welcome entry in an expansive, challenging and never complacent catalog.

Here are Tweedy's picks, in his own (edited and abridged) words.

Susie, my wife, she owned Lounge Ax at the time, and I was supposed to be home at a certain time so that she could go to work at the rock club to relieve her of hanging out with [our newborn son] Spencer. That's why there are all these animal names like "Spiders (Kidsmoke)." But it shows how different the process is for me and how different and what is useful to me of my own work, because "Deeper Down" is endlessly satisfying to me because it was a little bit of a puzzle to put together. From a microscopic home It sounds really silly now. It sounds like it's kind of, I don't know, maybe staged or something, but a lot of the lyrics were pretty much improvised. amongst the gibberish lyrics. I feel like my heels grow to platform boots and my pants widen to bell bottoms during the course of that song, like a shapeshifter or something. Kidsmoke - And Mine Alone [indie-pop] - The 3rd single to be released from the Welsh band's forthcoming EP 'Save Your Sorrow', out 09/06/2017.

My dad asked me to write a song about it—it's a real riverboat casino. It's sweet for Spencer for it to be there to hear what his dad was doing when he was a baby. Both of them are songs that, if you pay attention to fan sites and fan commentary, are pretty despised, but it's "On and On and On" and "Everlasting Everything. On the road, we would just take a day off and get some stuff done here and there, which is always sort of a romantic idea to me. Fly like winging birds fighting for the keys All about spiders for kids in spiders kidsmoke live. That's why there are all these animal names like "Spiders (Kidsmoke)." All about spiders for kids tell my kids but i hate spiders its true yes i take them to the spider and snake museum about once a quarter but it is only spiders kidsmoke acoustic. google_ad_client: "ca-pub-2010683096278079", I don't really know what else to say about that song in particular. The future has a valley and a shortcut around It was pretty miraculous for six people to be able to sit around in a circle and make a record just up off the ground, not knowing the songs and just kind of hammering out the arrangements as we went. I mean, "The Whole Love" as a record, just in general, in the lifespan of this lineup is where Wilco and all the individual members of Wilco finally got the most comfortable with being in Wilco. All these telescopic poems There's all this animal imagery on that record because that was in my head that I would populate this record with the animals that are me or something.

From "A.M." to the forthcoming "Schmilco," new insights on Wilco's vast discography, from classic set staples to underappreciated gems, come to light. ( Lenny Gilmore / RedEye ). I just do as I am told. There were a lot of things that I'd already started on with Spencer, and then Glenn [Kotche] came in and played on them, and then we kind of built them up with everybody over time. Whenever I hear the melody, even when I play it now, it's like, "Why I wonder is my heart full of holes," it's "I'm a VIP at Horde." It revisits the irreverence of their rock-leaning 2015 surprise release "Star Wars" but also adds more acoustic guitars and barebones but complicated arrangements imbued with nervy and sometimes angry energy.
