Great show in Milwaukee! Thanks Jeff.

Ryan on KCRW today talking about his new album: “I don’t think I’ve ever worked on anything harder than I have on it, and I’m still working on it, which is amazing. In fact, when I leave here, I go straight over to work on it more. And I think, probably, it’s the most songs I ever wrote for a record and it’s the most emotional…whatever this process was, was so cathartic, and was cathartic in a way where I actually made songs where I would listen back to what I had to say and go, ‘That is really messed up.’ Or listen to something and go, ‘There’s actual hope in there.’ What does that mean? I

Another hilarious quote Tweedy made in reference to Sheboygan was "Sheboygan is the kinda town where if you can make it here.....you can make it anywhere!"

Late Late Show acoustic performance of Gimme Something Good. also....He and wife Mandy Moore are splitting....

Wilco's performance last night was special to me. Playing music spanning over their 20 career brought back a lot of memories, seeing them in small clubs in Chicago, Minneapolis, Madison back in the 90s. . A few of the songs made me think about Jay Bennett too. Thanks for all 20 years Wilco!

I was blown away when wilco play two nights in a row in my hometown. It was when they were putting the finishing touches on Wilco (the album). photo shoot for album cover and baseball game appearance, two shows at an amazing local venue. they've never performed two consecutive days in my town. so it was heaven for me. however, chicago is only 90 miles away but tickets are difficult to get. cheers to all.

Seeing Golden Smog shows are still some of my very favorites show to this day. damn good times!

i got a 12/9 Tuesday night ticket. Wilco! woohoo.

my love for the band has waned due to all the inner band drama. but the music is still great.

Woohoo 2 tickets for Milwaukee!!! aisle seats. let Rock it! 20 year anniversary. Hopefully they throw the deli tray again...

agreed. Ellen is a weird show to perform for his Rock image but he is really promoting the new album so why not. not as cool at Colbert Report.

Yes Dec 3rd in Brew City! How about a gig in Madison at the Barrymore Theatre?...just like old times!!!

for some reason, this record release had me as excited for when wilco released Summerteeth. so happy. i saw Tweedy perform in august, which was awesome, but after listening to the record, id love to experience the band again.

Ryan Adams and Johnny Depp onstage together in London.

Tom Petty-esque sound too

I pre-ordered the album in june so i didnt get all the pre-ordered downloads.....i dont want to hear it until it comes out officially. ive seen Tweedy in concert so i'm aware of some of the songs but i just want to put on the headphones, spin the record, and take it all in. yes....many articles...im ready to listen too!!

I spun the new RA record this evening....maybe i like it because its been a few years since his last release but overall, I like it a lot. The guitar sound is great and the mix is good. Shadows is perhaps the best song on the album, i can hear a killer live version. RA has received a lot of criticism over the years, some merited, some overly critical, but he says he is in a healthy place and his music proves it. check it out.

Ryan Adams on World Cafe

yes it is sad to read. it is too bad they can't get along. it was great to see them perform together but that is likely dead and gone.

RA's full set from Newport Folk Festival streaming here.

I missed out on the 1984 record. I was at Hot Doug's in Chicago when it dropped and sold out. oh well. Im just happy RA is back on the road and releasing new music!

1984 a new 7" from RA. it didnt take very long to sell out. The next installment in the Pax-Am 7” series is here. “1984” is a concise, intense and completely self-contained musical statement, recorded and released completely separate from the upcoming album. This 10-song 7-inch pays homage to the halcyon days of the earliest releases from Dischord, SST, Touch & Go and their ilk. Side 11. When the Summer Ends2. What If You Were Wrong3. Over and Over4. Change Your Mind5. Broken Eyes Side 21. Why Did They Leave You Alone2. Rats in the Wall3. Bones and Ash4. Wolves5. Push It Away Also,

Johnny Depp plays guitar on the B-Side track.

no mention of Revolution Brewpub??

ive never been to Solid Sound but would love to go. it seems as if lodging is a real hassle?? arent there campsites nearby that are affordable?
