Espionage is alive and well and living on shortwave radio bands. Secret messages are broadcast all the time, using encryption that makes it sound like jibberish to normal folk. It's this jibberish that London's Irdial-Discs has recorded and published in a 4-disc collection called The Conet Project. And it's one of these recordings that Wilco mixed into their track "Poor Places" -- a woman saying "yankee, hotel, foxtrot." Tweedy thought it was an uncopyrighted recording, Inter-Disc thought otherwise, sued, and now Wilco has settled for an undisclosed amount, though it's clear Irdial-Discs will at least get a royalties from that song.
