Spinner takes a shot at it but somehow misses the Ill-Considered Solo Project, the Ill-Considered Side Project, the Celebutard Single, and the Late-Period Slide into Irrelevance. Which are way more cliche than, say, ‘using Internet slang in song titles.’

There’s no video clip up yet, but the CBS Web site has a story.

Something called Loft Life Magazine — “The Loftstyle Guide to Life in the City” — gets a tour of Wilco’s Chicago loft. The loft pops up a lot in I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, and was used more recently to record parts of Andrew Bird’s record and Wilco’s own “You and I” duet with Feist. It is very beautiful and reportedly filled with dozens of rare and spectacular instruments, such as Nels Cline’s Extended Wankmaster guitar with 16 whammy bars (perfect for soloing) and a set of bongo drums with Jay Farrar’s face painted on the skins.

(Incidentally, it’s kind of hard to see where Loft Life Magazine goes from here. “You guys know any other famous lofts?” “Um … Didn’t Friends take place in a loft?” “Yes, Alan, we’ve done four stories on it in the last year.” “Well shit.”) (via)

“Two,” the Antlers (Daytrotter session). I hesitated before posting this song so soon after I posted a video of it. But this version, from an excellent Daytrotter session, may prove to be my favorite. In the studio version, the wrenching lyrics are difficult to hear; they’re set back in the mix, occasionally drowned out by a chiming guitar. This version puts the vocals up front, where they belong. Peter Silberman relates his sad, angry tale of a man losing his wife to cancer, and it just levels you:

There’s two people living in one small room,
from your two half-families tearing at you,
Two ways to tell the story (no one worries),
Two silver rings on our fingers in a hurry,
Two people talking inside your brain,
Two people believing that I’m the one to blame,
Two different voices coming out of your mouth,
While I’m too cold to care and too sick to shout.

The Antler’s Hospice is on sale at Amazon for $5.
