傳奇說Wilco在網路上公開唱片公司不要的專輯供人免費下載，音樂大獲好評而廣為流傳，也找到新東家發行實體專輯。這麼說我分享到七張wilco的專輯似乎具有正當性，而且我發現自己並沒有佔到便宜，因為主唱那種像是處在淺迷幻狀態的柔和聲音，唉，我的情感被那聲音給收買了。
但有個奇怪的經驗是，一首一首的聽，聽了很久，全部播完了，按照歌手字母排列的itunes列表上剛好接到v開頭的團體，是velvet underground，要不是聽熟了那幾首收藏的歌曲，一開始還分辨不出已經換樂團了，那種酥軟的旋律和唱腔居然有些類似，只是vu似乎處在更深的迷幻狀態，頹廢到不行都黏在一起的歌聲，像是用了很重的劑量。然後wilco就顯得沒那麼震撼了。唉啊。這真不是他們的錯，有些東西就不該混著吃。
我喜歡的wishful thinking，喜歡吉他聲和唱得頹廢的某些段落….
“Wishful Thinking” a ghost is born, wilco
Fill up your mind with all it can know
Don’t forget that your body will let it all go
Fill up your mind with all it can know
What would we be without wishful thinking
Chambers of chains
With red plastic mouths
The inside of outside
No one has found
How to unring the bell
It’s just as well
The turntable sizzles
Casting the spells
The pressure devices
Hell in a nutshell
Is any song worth singing
If it doesn’t help
Fill up your mind with all it can know
Don’t forget that your body will let it all go
Fill up your mind with all it can know
‘Cause what would love be without wishful thinking
Open your arms as far as they will go
We take off your dress
An embarrassing poem
Was written when I was alone
In love with you
I shook down those lines
To shine up the streets
I got up off my hands and knees
To thank my lucky stars that you’re not me
What would we be without wishful thinking
What would we be without wishful thinking
What would we be without wishful thinking
