This is two versions of the same song. Rarely do you get to here two versions of the same show that represent the two people who wrote the sing. Venus Stopped The Train was written by Jeff Tweedy and Jay Bennett. On the Wilco version of this song Jeff Tweedy is singing. Jay Bennett is sinning on his version of the song. Both versions of the song are great, but they are also very different. It really shows how every song you hear has some many possibilities.
Back in 2001 I made someone a Christmas gift of a whole bunch of Single Artist Mix CDs. I just found the list of bands. The idea was that these were bands who defined me as a music lover. The ideas was if she was thinking of me she could pop in one of these mixes to feel closer to me.

I am not sure how this list would be different now. I am not sure what this whole idea says about me.
