From an interview with Jeff Tweedy in NYT Magazine:
Q: Although “Wilco (The Album)” was released on Tuesday, you streamed the songs free online in May after they surfaced illegally on the Internet.
Wilco: As a musician, I don’t want to expend any energy whatsoever preventing people from hearing our music. I think that’s antithetical to the idea of making it. Yes, we streamed it. Basically we set it up so people who felt guilty about stealing our music could donate some money to our favorite charity.
Oh, and he explains why the band is called Wilco, which you may have known, but I didn’t.
It’s a great quote, and a great name for a band. I’ve never listened to them, though.
