There are only a handful of bands that prompt me to buy their records on the day they come out and Wilco is one of them. Jeff Tweedy's songs range from sappy to abstract, and even when he stumbles I can usually find something redeeming in the effort. Laminated Cat was originally released on Tweedy's side project (Loose Fur), which also featured Jim O'Rourke (Gastr Del Sol, Sonic Youth, etc.) and Glenn Kotche before he became the full time drummer for Wilco. This performance starts with some of Jeff Tweedy's typical back-and-forth with his audience, which shows him at his funniest and jerkiest.

That Tweedy banter is pretty classic. I have resisted him/them for quite a while, but maybe I am softening up a bit.
