Here’s a track from Wilco’s sophomore album, 1996’s Being There. This two-disc album was the alt-country band’s first foray into the more experimental sounds for which they would receive widespread acclaim in later years.
A double album loosely based on the relationship between musicians and their fans, Being There features some straightforward bops alongside fascinating sonic detours.
The album’s two discs mirror each other in ways both subtle and obvious. Today’s track is an example of the latter. Disc One contains a song called ‘Outtasite (Outta Mind)’ with the same lyrics but a different musical treatment than today’s SOTD, ‘Outta Mind (Outta Sight).’
This track plays homage to the Beach Boys, and in its opening chords, to the theme song of Sesame Street. Excellent influences, both.

Oh whoa
Well I know that we should take a walk
But you’re such a fast walker, oh whoa

But you’ll still be thinking of me, oh-whoa

Outta mind outta sight

Clever idea for a song pairing.
