New Wilco!
So after staying up late last night to check out Wilco's appearance on Conan O'Brien during his week of shows in Chicago, I was treated to the terrific suprise of a brand new song by the band. I'd heard a few solo bootlegs of Jeff Tweedy singing this, but it was so much more incredible with the full band backing him. It's a bit of a departure for the band, going for a more soulful sound that recalls their early days doing straight up alt-country (Jeff has joked(?) that the song was written for Solomon Burke), but I really like it.
The song is either titled "We Can Make It Better" or "Is That The Thanks I Get?", depending on who you ask. I'm going with the former, because it comprises the awesome sing-along chorus. Also, I may be the first person in the blogosphere to get this out there, having made the mp3 rip myself.
Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by at Kwaya Na Kisser. The song sounds very classic fm-ish, would be a great sing-along song live. The lyrics are quite simple but perhaps characteristic of Wilco. All in all, not a bad song.
Congratulations on the new blog! I am blogrolling you-anyone who posts live Wilco has great potential.
Yo . . . thanks for posting this.
thanks, man... im a huge fan of your live show posts actually... really terrific stuff.
