When I was a kid, I'd always get so excited when an artist I loved would announce a new album, and then drop the tracklist. It was always so fun to read the titles of the songs and imagine what they might sound like.
Oh, who am I kidding? I still do this. I did it with the last Wilco album. And of course, I was dramatically, gratefully wrong on every count.
I think the only hype that exists for my upcoming albums exists in my own head, but in case you are someone who likes tracklists, I thought I'd go ahead and share what are likely the final tracklists for each album. You will notice that there ended up being a few more than three albums. Whoops:
