Wilco Will Love You Podcast

• We're talking about "Citizens" this time.
• Here's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the Aeolian harp guy, as performed the staff of the Wisconsin Maritime Museum, underwater archaeologists, marine scientists, and historians. (And Iron Maiden also fashioned it into a song.)
• The albatross is a big ol' bird. These guys at Lindblad Expeditions-Natural Geographic have a fun time showing everyone just how big it is.
• We mentioned Jeff Tweedy's songwriting process, and he happens to have a whole book about that called How to Write One Song.
• "High crimes" made us think of crimes on the high seas, and here's an article about The Outlaw Ocean Music Project, which seeks to partner journalists and musicians to do necessary reporting on such crimes.
• Speaking of Wilco and nautical themes, do you remember when Wilco did this song for the soundtrack to The Spongebob Squarepants Movie?
• Here's next week's song: "We Were Lucky."
