Jeff Tweedy was a special guest at Hideout tonight for the early reading of The F***ing Epic Twitter Quest of Mayor Emanuel! He played Black Eyed Peas (?!?!) songs: "I Got A Feeling" and "Rock That Body," and closed with a spoken word performance of "My Humps." Check out two videos below, and catch Jeff will Wilco at Civic Opera House in December. More info and dates HERE.

I saw Wilco play in Memphis this year and Jeff Tweedy didn't seem so interested in your recipes, 9:04. "You know how Morrissey refuses to play anywhere they sell animal flesh? I think Wilco should only play places that smell like smoking meat."
