Hey, America! CBS Has This Cool New Band You Should Totally Check Out

Yes, it's snobby, but we kinda hate when mainstream media covers music. Trying to sell our moms on our favorite bands (especially 16 years and five records into their careers) is just silly, but if this appearance on CBS' Sunday Morning helps Wilco sell a few thousand more records, we'll allow it. But the Black Eyed Peas segue at the beginning is just dumb, and you can't tell us it's not.

Thanks, Marah!
