Cool video!

89.3 the Current out of Minneapolis and 88.9 Radio Milwaukee have both been playing You Never Know.

Mader's is a German restaurant. Milwaukee is a German city. Don don donnnn.

Greg Kot to give a talk at:

Boswell Book Company

He's doing a meet and greet at Cafe Hollander before the talk. I'm sure he will be willing to field a few questions about Learning How To Die. Here's his reaction to Jay's death...

And be sure, darling, to make all the good times last. Goodbye, Jay Bennett. Thank you for the music.

I Am Trying To Break Your Heart

what a stupid and awkward analogy.

One Wing makes me cry. There, I said it.

I'm going to do some kind of robotic dance to BBN.

ART NOW

Perfect end of finals/start of summer album. Tweedy's voice is golden! Harmonies are soooo nice throughout. One Wing's beginning is surreal. I enjoy how the album begins and closes with affirmations of love. Exceptional album.

How can I rest when I know it's out there? UGH- I need to be more Internet savvy...

Wilco will love you, baby!

The camel got his close up...

This cover is clearly a metaphor for Jeff trying to kick Camel Lights.

Love the cover- it's hilarious.

In my opinion, the biggest flaw of the film is in the coverage. The filmmakers mentioned that they had 8 cameramen, though it seems like they really weren't directed properly: in several cases, it feels like everyone is going for the interesting, off kilter shot, which is wonderful in moderation, but not when it detracts from getting a full sense of the concert. The few wide shots or balcony overheads (The Ryman) are a welcomed relief from a claustrophobia that seems more accidental than deliberate.

Good examples of them shifting the shot during cathartic moments: "Says I haven't gone to far," and when the band comes in together after Nels' solo during Impossible Germany. These are powerful moments that camera fails to fully capture. I think in both cases the shot shifted to close ups of Glenn. I want to see Jeff wail out an epic line, not some shot of Glenn's cymbal... Also, it struck me as strange to not include a picture of Jeff inside the case, not that it matters. The above complaints are true; as much as I enjoyed the movie (I've watched it 3 times already), I am regretfully disappointed. Sooo, when does the next film about Wilco come out? Ha!

Ah, I thought the announcers usually said who won. I expect some entertaining banter about this tomorrow night...

They did the sausage race! Who won?

I've deemed April "Wilco Month" for me, so this yet just another treat. I planned on doing all my homework Monday night so I could attend the shows stress free, but this seems like a good excuse to make it out to Miller Park.
