5 Artists Wilco's Jeff Tweedy Should Collaborate With

In the latest bit of "musician meets the masses through the internet fuckery," Consequence of Sound reports that Jeff Tweedy, the legendary heart and brain of Wilco, will be auctioning off the chance to write, produce and record a song with one lucky winner. The actual quote from the bidding site: "One 8-hour day of recording a song at the world famous Wilco Loft. Your session will be tracked by a staff engineer and overseen by Jeff Tweedy who will also help you produce and arrange your song....and maybe even play on it if you need him to! You will leave with a CD of a finished mix. Date to be determined according to schedules."

The highest bid right now is at $3,250 and the auction will end on March 12. I know the proceeds go to charity but is this really the way we want to see music trending? And when this song hits the internet won't every music blog be posting it despite the obvious amateur manner it was born through? But since we're all here anyway, let's look at the musicians we wish actually would collaborate with Tweedy.

1.

2. St. Vincent

3. Bob Dylan

Aside from the fact that Jeff Tweedy would probably be paralyzed with fear to be in the presence of Bob Dylan, it would still be pretty cool to listen to a song these two worked together on. If Dylan listens to his son Jakob's band The Wallflowers at all, odds are he'd be pretty down with Wilco stuff too. It's easy to think that Jeff is good at guitar or poetry until you put on an old Dylan record, but it seems like Tweedy is the type of person who rises to the level of whatever is around him. Stick this guy next to Bob Dylan and who knows what he'd come up with in an effort to impress the bard. Related: Bob Dylan would never pull a stupid stunt like this... although he WOULD allow appear in a Victoria's Secret commercial with Adriana Lima. Priorities.

4. Norah Jones

5. Jack White

6. A jar, with a heavy lid.

Possibly the best Wilco song on earth and a personal favorite, so I had to drop this in sorry guys LOLZ. But this is a great opportunity for you if for some reason you never listened to Summerteeth and you're in the mood to hear an incredibly beautiful, very sad song.
