Pitchfork: The album, recorded at Wilco’s Loft in Chicago, also features a cover of Low’s “Holy Ghost”. That track appeared on the band’s album The Invisible Way, which was also recorded by Tweedy at the Loft. It also features tracks written by Nick Lowe (“Celestial Shore”) and Tweedy (“Jesus Wept”) specifically for Staples.
Here’s a live version of the song from Low.
The Micranots are back. The Twin Cities hip-hop duo got back together long enough to re-release and album and to put on a show at the 7th Street Entry.
