    Dec 27 2025

    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!

  • Lisa Machac (Omni Sound Project Founder)
    Oct 9 2025

    (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.
    • Jeff Tweedy has a Substack called Starship Casual, if you didn't already know.
    • 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
