“I Am Trying to Break Your Heart,” JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound. Via Coop and the You Me Them Everybody Chicago music podcast comes this wonderfully original Wilco cover, which converts the spacey folk of the original into the swaggering funk of “Superstition”-era Stevie Wonder. What other Wilco tracks would be well served by this kind of arrangement? “Box Full of Letters” and “Forget the Flowers” come to mind. (download)
Wow, very cool and works surprisingly well. “Monday” and “I’ve Got You” seem like more obvious choices but I could definitley hear “War on War” or “She’s A Jar” working too.
“ Once you’ve played the song a thousand times, your life experiences affect the way you perform the song and the way the song actually grows and lives. The recording should actually come after - it just seems weird that you record the song and then play it afterwards. I don’t know how to feel good about recording. It’s strange - it’s like trapping ghosts. It’s like math. Or trapping the meaning of life. That doesn’t really feel right.
