Wilco announces EP for Record Store Day; Jeff Tweedy muses that, boy, seems like Record Store Day comes later and later every year

Jeff Tweedy sat on his porch, admiring the Chicago skyline from afar. To his left was Nels Cline. To his right, Glenn Kotche. He looked at Cline and told him about his dream last night, in which he met Kareem Abdul-Jabbar but it wasn’t really Kareem Abdul-Jabbar because he was of average height and possessed a high, shrill voice. It felt alright to him. Kotche felt a little left out, like he was listening to something that he had the right to hear, yet he felt he wasn’t supposed to hear it.

Cline admitted that the dream seemed pretty freaky, but that his mind was more on their Record Store Day release. Hearing that, Tweedy only looked out into the distance, musing that, huh, Record Store Day just comes later and later each year. Even in his bitterness, Kotche couldn’t bear to correct him that it was Black Friday Record Store Day, the iteration of the event taking place on November 25.

Still, Tweedy knew that they were putting out a new EP titled Speak Into The Rose on Record Store Day. After all, Consequence of Sound reported it. He knew that it had the title track and “Message From Mid-Bar” and that these were previously only available on the deluxe CD of their most recent record, The Whole Love. He knew that it also contained a demo of “I Might” and an alternate version of “Art of Almost.” Most of all, he knew that it would all be out on 10-inch translucent red vinyl and that 30 copies would include a poster signed by him. He knew it all, and it was killing him.
