Wilco on Austin City Limits

Sky Blue Sky is the correct album. Thanks I Get is not the name of a song on Sky Blue Sky or any other Wilco album. There are actually several different VW commercials with songs from Sky Blue Sky so, I am not sure what song you are thinking Thanks I get is. Pick it up and you will not be disappointed.

Wilco is one of my favorite bands. Every release is a bit different from the rest.
"The Thanks I Get" is not on any release. Although it was offered as a extra as a download with purchase of the Sky Blue Sky album when it was first released.

here is a link to a nice performance of the song from Tweedy's solo dvd Sunken' Treasure". I was fortunate enough to be at this show in Portland.

Based on a review in either Stereophile or Absolute Sound, I ran out and bought Wilco's Hotel Yankee Foxtrot. After one listen, I immediately gave it to a friend. Maybe it's my age (57), but I've found very little rock music being recorded today that I enjoy (as much as the old classics of the 60s & 70s). I have two tests for music. First, do I catch myself tapping my foot while I listen to the song/CD? And second, do I find myself humming the song later in the day? This band/CD failed both tests for me. I'm in no way dissing your taste in music. I'm just frustrated that I'm stuck in the past and can't break free. Pray for me.

Most music from unfamiliar bands take more then one listen for it to sink in for me. The extra few spins helps me find new music. Some times you just have to sit with it for it to sink in. YHF was one Wilco recored that was that way for me. As time passed and with many listens it's now one of my desert island disc.

You should rent the Sam Jones film on the making of the recored called "I'm Trying To Break your Heart" It might be easier for someone unfamiliar with the Band and the recored to be entertained. And maybe give the music a better chance of touching you.

I'm 44 and i am still looking for new music. no matter if its from a new band or a old band i just had not been exposed to.

I think you are refering to the song "you are my face" I know that was in a commercial I heard. That is on Sky Blue Sky.

Come on Rockyboy, you should give Sky Blue Sky a chance, it's a lot more "normal" than YFH. It's very easy to like, as are a lot of new groups. You should never give up the hunt for new and interesting stuff to listen to.
