New Wilco album title, release date announced

If you're anything like me -- and you should be -- you'll want to mark down June 8, 2004 as the date that the new Wilco album, A Ghost Is Born, hits stores. The band has been road-testing new material for quite a while, and the tracklist, which is available at Pitchfork Media and Wilco's official site, includes most of the usual suspects. Two surprises, though:

1. "Handshake Drugs" is included, even though it was already included on the More Like The Moon EP, and
2. "Kicking Television" is nowhere to be found. That's a shame -- it's an appropriately kickin' little tune.
