EPISODE SWAP! Nels Cline was gracious enough to guest on both of our podcasts, so Lawrence Peryer of The Tonearm and Meredith of Wilco Will Love You (who now contributes to The Tonearm) decided to post each other's episodes to treat our listeners to a little something different. A big thank you to Nels and to all of you for checking these out!

• You can find more episodes of The Tonearm podcast here.
• Lawrence also does print interviews for The Tonearm.
• And Meredith, of WWLY, has some articles there as well.
• Nels speaks mostly about his latest project Trio of Bloom on this episode with Lawrence.
• Craig Taborn is one of his illustrious collaborators in Trio of Bloom.
• Marcus Gilmore completes the Trio.
• And, of course, Lawrence and Nels talk about "Impossible Germany" in this conversation⏤namely, the challenge of having to replicate that performance again and again. Lawrence also has a beautiful observation about it. We won't spoil it for you!

(RECORDED JULY 30th, 2024) Lisa Machac is a huge Wilco fan (via the Jayhawks and Uncle Tupelo), and the original founder of Omni Sound Project, an organization that provides community and opportunities to sharpen audio skills to people from marginalized genders. The Mares chat with her about the many influences they share and on Wilco's influence in their lives.

• Omni Sound Project is now run by Isabelle Banos. Find it over on Substack.
• Mary and Lisa geeked out on the Jayhawks a bit. (Here they are, if you're not familiar.)
• Lisa mentions this performance, Bill Callahan and Nels Cline performing "Sky Blue Sky" at the Austin City Limits 7th Annual Hall of Fame honors.
• Lisa's favorite Wilco song is "She's A Jar," and this performance of it, 1999-04-21 Irving Plaza, New York, NY, is said to be a good one.
• Meredith and Lisa both write for Tape Op, thanks to Lisa getting Meredith involved.
• Meredith has this yellow bunny Tape Op acoustic panel from GIK Acoustics.
• Lisa and Meredith talk a lot about Tape Op's editor Larry Crane on this podcast, and he has been a guest in the past.
• This is the Jackpot! Studios Substack they reference.

• And so does his buddy George Saunders, a hero.
• Lisa's recs: Charli XCX, Cowboy Carter by Beyonce, Indigo de Souza
• Meredith's rec: Hurray for the Riff Raff, The Past Is Still Alive
• Mary's rec: Madison Cunningham featuring Tim Bernardes

Having seen Finom perform, and having briefly met the duo, at Solid Sound 2024, Meredith and Mary were so excited to chat with Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart about their experiences with and love for the Tweedy family and about their own respective musical journeys.

• Jeff Tweedy's latest album Twilight Override features these two prominently, and you can listen to the album all the way through from the passenger side perspective as Jeff drives around in this YouTube video.
• While that's pretty cool, they're actually in his music video for "Feel Free."
• Macie Stewart's website is here, and she has an Instagram as well.
• Sima Cunningham, too, has a website as well as an Instagram.
• Additionally, the band has a website and an Instagram.
• Please check out their amazing album Not God, produced by Jeff Tweedy.
• We also spoke about Sima Cunningham's album High Roller on the pod...
• ...but didn't get to chat about Macie Stewart's album When the Distance is Blue, because it hadn't been released yet.
• Their music videos are a lot of fun, too. Here's what they have for "Haircut," "Cyclops," "Not God," and "As You Are."
