Rounding out Karaoke Night at this year’s Solid Sound Festival Wilco brought on “Courtney from Melbourne” to join them singing Handshake Drugs from their 2004 album A Ghost Is Born. She made it her own. One of the highlights of the whole festival.

    I love this performance. Early on, Jeff and the band are looking on smiling and saying "this is great!" And the band craziness kicks in, and everyone goes crazy!

    Her speak-sing works so well with this song. And even her slack harmonies with Jeff. Love this.

    The best part was Courtney looking for effects for her guitar. Jeff was explaining the pedals — when he said "and that one is fuzz," she was basically like "we're good to go then."

    I was chewin' gum for something to do 
    The blinds were being pulled down on the dew 
    Inside, out of love, what a laugh 
    I was looking for you

    Saxophones started blowing me down 
    I was buried in sound 
    Taxicabs were driving me around 
    To the handshake drugs I bought downtown 
    To the handshake drugs I bought downtown

    They were translated poorly, I felt like a clown 
    I looked like someone I used to know 
    I felt alright 
    And if I ever was myself
    I wasn't that night

    Oh it's okay for you to say 
    What you want from me 
    I believe that's the only 
    Way for me to be, exactly 
    What you want me to be

    Oh it's okay for you to say 
    What you want from me 
    I believe that's the only 
    Way for me to be 
    Exactly what you want me to be
