Guten Tag from Germany, where Wilco are five shows into the Sky Blue Sky World tour. We just wanted to take a moment here from mobile HQ (aka the bus) to thank you for heeding the call and supporting the band in overwhelming numbers. The result? Our biggest week ever… #4 on the US Charts, #7 in Norway, #9 in Canada and top 40 in Sweden, Germany, Spain, Ireland and the UK. Bravo to you all… and great thanks from the band (who are sleeping now after a great show in Berlin last night).To show our gratitude, beginning today, we’re making more content available via the Enhanced CD… this time a free download of the studio recording of the aptly named „The Thanks I Get“. Many of you will know this track from hearing it live or in the Sunken Treasure DVD. This particular version was recorded at the loft during the sessions for SBS. For instructions on how to access the download, click here. If you bought the digital version of the record via iTunes, it’ll also be available there next week.
There’s a lot of new stuff on the site now: interviews & other press stuff in the „In Print“ section and new streams, podcasts, etc in „On the Air“. Both are in the site’s News section. More live material coming soon to the Roadcase, including the archives of the Shepherds Bush shows… so stay tuned. And of course a LOT of shows lined up this summer with more added all the time, so be sure to keep an eye on the Shows page.
see you out there soon, wherever you are..
peace & thanks again
The HQ mobile staff
p.s. Sky Blue Sky still streaming here

Captain Beefheart to audience: Is everyone feeling all right? Audience: Yeahhhhh!!! awright...!!! Captain Beefheart: That's not a soulful question, that's a medical question. It's too hot in here.
