Wilco (the stream) Available now!

We all know that bands and their record companies for that matter fear albums being leaked on the Internet. U2 had it happen several times during the course of the making of No Line On the Horizon and in one case it was due to Bono's over-exuberance. Anyways, back to Wilco their album, Wilco (the album) was leaked on the Internet a few days ago so the band decided to do a very brave thing stream it on their website for free. The band requested that this be referred to as Wilco (the stream) and best of all they understand the reasons we would download the leaked copy in the first place. I think that speaks to their respect for the fans. Anyways, listen to it here...
