In this episode Lance and Matt switch up the normal format of discussing Wilco and instead focus on an aspect of albums that often gets overlooked when an album is released and assessed: its cover! Join in as they discuss how a cover influences the way an album is absorbed.

An episode one year in the making is finally yours to hear! Lance and Matt connect with Ashwin Deepankar, Wilco's drum tech and stage manager, and connect over a shared fandom of Wilco. Ashwin presents a candid look at what it's like to go from being a fan of your favorite band to being hired to work with them.

Ashwin Deepankar is a backline technician and stage manager for Wilco Touring World. When he is not on the road he is The Loft session assistant. Outside of working with Wilco he is a drummer and recording engineer who has been in the Chicago music scene for well over a decade. Currently, he is working on a music project with his wife, Shara called Aatmaa which will be released this year. He resides in Chicago, IL with Shara.

In this exciting episode featuring guest Mark Greenberg, the manager of the legendary Loft, Lance and Matt geek out and ask questions about Wilco's creative processes. Some of the topics discussed were Wilco's collaborative approach as a band of six individuals, what it's like to work with Jeff Tweedy, and some of the best things about working at an impressive recording facility. Fun was had by all!
