Elegant Transaction

Loose Fur is an American rock band comprising Wilco members Jeff Tweedy and Glenn Kotche, and Wilco collaborator Jim O'Rourke. The trio first convened in May 2000 in preparation for a Tweedy performance at a festival in Chicago. Tweedy was offered the opportunity to collaborate with an artist of his choosing, and he decided to work with O'Rourke. O'Rourke brought Kotche to a rehearsal session, and the trio recorded an album's worth of songs. The trio have since released two albums, 2003's Loose Fur and 2006's Born Again in the USA, for Drag City. The band has only toured once. more »

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Be careful when you take a call for someone else 
(Not a smart way to begin)
And get embroiled in someone else's life
(You don't know where that phone's been)

And don't strike a conversation with a cigarette
Like an old flame
Burned up 
And out of breath

A slip of the tongue is all it takes
(It seems you need a helping hand)
To find yourself in someone else's place
(Back in the saddle again)

And don't pretend you don't know where it's headed for

A connection all the same

Exchange small talk about the good old days
(It seems they've done better than you)
Your stories match despite the different names
(I guess that all you heard was true)

And don't go along unless you've lost your way

A connection all the same
Like you're in love's cold sleigh
