Today's poem is I Am Trying to Love the Whole World by Jenny Browne. The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're revisiting some favorites from Major Jackson's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on December 21, 2023. In this episode, Major writes… “If only we viewed observations of the natural world and meditations on birds, mammals, and plant life as equally, critically urgent, we might awaken to the necessity of caretaking of our planet and each other. Birdwatching does not have to be a form of looking away, it can be an antidote for our spirit.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Today's episode is about "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco" (Sam Jones, 2002). Widely considered one of the all-time greatest music documentaries, the film follows the band through the making of their breakthrough album "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot", the unstable relationship between lead singer/songwriter Jeff Tweedy and multi-instrumentalist Jay Bennett, and the legendary tale of the album being rejected by their record label only to be issued by another label under the same corporate umbrella. Check out our interview with the director of this film, Sam Jones, elsewhere in the podcast feed. Great guy, great conversation. Our Very Special Guest is Hannah Seidlitz of The New Yorker.

Rock Docs: A Podcast About Music Documentaries A Treble Media Podcast Today's episode is a bonus - an interview with our Very Special Guest, Sam Jones, the director of several films including "Jason Isbell: Running With Our Eyes Closed", "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart", and "Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off". Sam was incredibly generous with his time, sharing his insights and stories about the making of classic rock docs (and one of our favorite "rock docs that's not a rock doc"). How did he get Jason Isbell, Amanda Shires, and the members of Wilco to open up about their professional and personal lives? What's it like going into a documentary with no idea what he was going to get? How did he adapt to the unexpected, from Wilco getting dropped by their label to Isbell's record release running into a global pandemic? Thanks to Sam for spending his time with us. Check out all of his work, he's a real one. Hosted by David Lizerbram & Andrew Keatts Twitter: @RockDocsPod Rock Docs is a Treble Media podcast.

What does perfection mean to you? What if you knew someone ELSE called something “perfect”? That's what we wanted to find out on this episode of CrossFade, so we looked at two of the dozen albums that have received a perfect 10 score from Pitchfork, the music publication everybody famously agrees with and enjoys without reservation. Wilco's breakthrough “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” and Amon Tobin's breakthrough “Bricolage” are pretty different (that's CrossFade babyyyy), but our discussion bridges them both: How does seeing that big 10 make you think differently about the music you listen to? How much does that matter in the age of influencers, when every opinion can be validated by someone, somewhere on the internet? It's a pretty complex question! We'd also love it if you'd rate and review the show on iTunes, ‘cause it means more people can find the show and love it, too!

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is the fourth studio album by American rock band Wilco and first released on September 18, 2001. Recording sessions for the album began in late 2000. These sessions, which were documented for the film I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, were marred by conflicts including a switch in drummers and disagreements among the band members and engineers about songs. Despite this, the album would be completed in early 2001. The album showcased a more atmospheric and experimental sound than the band's previous work, and has been described as art rock and indie rock[3] by music critics. It was the band's first album with drummer Glenn Kotche, and last with multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Jay Bennett. Reprise Records, Wilco's record label at the time, refused to release the album as they felt unhappy about the end result; this would lead to Wilco's departure from Reprise. The band subsequently acquired the rights to the album and later streamed the entire album for free on their website on September 18, 2001. In November of that year, Wilco signed with Nonesuch Records, who gave the album its first official retail release on April 23, 2002. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot received widespread acclaim from music critics at release, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of the 2000s. Today special guest cohost Charles Herald and I explore this album and rank the songs on it. So go ahead and fall in love with the drummer because this is That One Show Episode 14: Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Writer, musician, and fellow Wilco-head Jason P. Woodbury returns to talk with me about the 20th anniversary of the band's eerily prophetic album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Our conversation focuses on the process of making the album, as documented in the film I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (dir. Sam Jones, 2002), which captures not only Wilco's particular creative agony but the wider cultural moment, a time just before 9/11, just before the Internet swallowed everything, just before all the abstract existential anxieties layered into the lyrics and atmosphere of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot became permanent fixtures of our collective reality.  Check out Jason's latest single, “Wealth of the Canyon”:  https://soundcloud.com/jasonpwoodbury/wealth-of-the-canyon?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing And hear him playing guitar w/ Kitimoto:: https://soundcloud.com/jasonpwoodbury/sets/kitimoto-vintage-smell/s-ttZ6VuJ3Qw8?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Subscribe to access our library of bonus content, including our all-new podcast with Yasmin Nair, Gender Trap: patreon.com/nostalgiatrap   

Danny and Dylan are joined by friend of the pod Ian Wendrow to discuss their experience at this year's Pitchfork Music Festival. They also touch on the 20th anniversary of Wilco's opus, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, as well as the documentary I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.

There is a remarkable intensity that seems to surround B.J. Barham, the frontman for the fast-rising alt-country band American Aquarium, wherever he may be. Whether walking across a parking lot lost in thought, responding to critics on social media, sitting down for an interview after a soundcheck, doing a meet-and-greet with fans, joyfully gliding across the stage with his acoustic guitar, or thrusting his head towards a microphone and belting out deeply personal and introspective lyrics with unbridled ferocity – that intensity is unquestionably a part of Barham's spirit and colors everything he does. In the latest episode of The Load Out Music Podcast, I speak with Barham for what was perhaps one of the most raw and candid conversations of our first two seasons. As always, we cover quite a bit of ground over some 45 minutes. We delve into Barham's founding of American Aquarium while attending N.C. State in his hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina; the revolving door of a lineup between 2008 – 2017 that was largely driven by his over-the-top drive and past alcohol use in which he would drunkenly tell bandmates they were “replaceable”; his songwriting process and deeply personal lyrics covering topics like the evolution of southern culture, critics who suggest he should refrain from weighing in on political issues, love-lost and substance abuse; we look at a few of the band's records including its latest – a record of covers of ‘90s country hits called “Slappers, Bangers & Certified Twangers, Vol 1” – and much, much more. So sit back and enjoy an intense conversation with B.J. Barham, the frontman who named his band American Aquarium after the Wilco song, “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.”

I AM TRYING to validate a long-standing relationship I've had with Google Keep because I want to be able to dictate notes and have them appear on my calendars. This has become more important now that my calendar rotates into view on our Amazon Echo Show.I'm trying to lock Google Keep into my daily workflow because I think it offers the lowest demands on my laptop, mobile phone, and tablet. It's simply text (or tick-off lists) that I can pin on my devices. I could go all-in with Teams or Slack, adding services that offer exceptionally rich tracking of tasks, but I need a simple note-taking tool that offers me audio inputs and Keep's simple and elegant functionality has served me well.
