Picking Up the Slack for MTV: Wilco & Popeye


Indie rock giants Wilco have reputation for delving into experimental rock anthems and exploring uncharted sonic landscapes. Throughout their 17 year career the band is gone from alt-country to alt-pop to alt-alt and everywhere in between. You would think that by now there probably isn't a stone left unturned for the mid-western sextet. Then the band goes out and releases a music video like this. In the groups most recent music video, for the song "Dawned on Me", Jeff Tweedy and the gang dive into the world of...classic cartoon? Yup, Popeye, to be more specific. It's pretty much the same plot as every Popeye cartoon ever created, but with Wilco in the background. Take a look.
