  1. Thank you Mr. Bbop. I look forward following Wilco and Jeff vicariously through your efforts. Wilcoworld has kicked ass for years (keep up the great work Wilco webmaster - nobody in the online music business has done it better for the past 10 years .... ). Via Chicago is also a staple for all things Wilco and simply a great resource for this genre of music. And now we have Mr. Bbop's blog - which I am certain will be a huge hit amongst this crowd.
  2. great start to this thread .....
  3. probably in the minority here, but I think I'll stick with the Paul Simon version.
  4. i think Jeff's new white guitar was a vintage version of this.... (excuse me - ivory) National Guitars
  5. regarding wilco merchandise .... the complaints about wilco merch have been a re-occuring theme here on VC over the past few years. the criticism has mainly been about the t-shirts, and is has been very fair in pointing out the poor quality of these shirts. with t-shirt sales such an important part of a band's merchandise - it seems to me the team at 'wilco management' would spend a little time checking the quality of these items. i did bring up this issue with the guy who does the selling at wilco shows - he was a little busy as his booth was getting slammed, but basically said that he

  9. Thank you Wilcoworld ... The sound quality of these two shows: A+
  10. Wilco seems to love visiting Europe in September - over the past several years anyway.
  11. from ASCAP.com ... On a recent wintry December night, ASCAP's Erik Philbrook sat with Sansone and Stirratt for a special acoustic performance and Q&A after their soundcheck at NYC's Bowery Ballroom, where The Autumn Defense was opening for Wilco's Jeff Tweedy. definitely check this out... http://www.ascap.com/playback/2010/12/action/AutumnDefense.aspx?rss=1
  12. Washington Post review here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/08/AR2010120806528.html
  13. from the Yo La Tengo website..... I was especially happy to hear Jeff do Linda Thompson’s “Sometimes It Happens,”
  14. I thought Newsweek was out of print. Years ago they brought in Jon Meacham, a bible-toting conservative, who drove the magazine into the ground by making 'religion' a regular cover story.
  15. Last year Direct TV channel 101 replayed "Farm Aid" several times and looks like it will be this year too - broken up and edited for their "Growing Hope for America" series - which is part of the concert series on channel 101 from Direct TV: Neil Young, Dave Matthews, Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp headline Farm Aid’s 25th Anniversary concert on October 2 at 6pm ET at Miller Park in Milwaukee with host Tavis Smiley and co-host Michael Symon. See all 6 hours of "Farm Aid 25: Growing Hope for America" LIVE, commercial-free and in HD, exclusively on The 101® Network. "DIRECTV is ho
  16. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2010/09/pat-sansone-wilco-getting-back-together-to-write-next-album-this-fall.html Wilco will start writing its next album just in time for Halloween, according to band member Pat Sansone. "We're taking a couple of weeks off," the multi-instrumentalist, fresh off a plane from Berlin, said. "When I get back toward the end of [the] month, we're getting back together to start working, to start the first writing sessions for the record. We’ve done a little bit of brainstorming, but the real work is going to begin at the end of [the] month." Th
  17. cool watermark - that is one website i will not be visiting
  18. I have a feeling that this 'festival' is going to be a lot more intimate than the promoters would have liked (great news for the handful of people going). Less than two weeks out and just now I am getting emails from 'The Bowery Presents' promoting this show... can you say 'day late- dollar short'. Between this last minute push and the many tickets being sold here on VC - I have a feeling that there will be way less people than originally expected. I guess a lack of attendees is the payoff for doing this kind of show in the remote North Adams, MA. Oh yeah... I could have pulled this of
  19. Thanks for posting a detailed line up. Friday is the only possible night I can attend. But, no Wilco or Tweedy = no me.
  20. Katherine Myers, museum spokeswoman, said Tuesday. "We plan to have the main stage, with the festival’s headliners, and a few other smaller stages out there. We need to make the field level, so it will be safer and better for the festival." She said the museum needed to officially take hold of the parcel, which abuts the South Branch of the Hoosic River, in order to level the field and fence it in. I have been to many festivals over the past 15 years - evening working a few of the prominent north east music festivals and I have to admit - this news makes me a little bit nervous. Every
  21. I can not be the only person waiting for a detailed artist schedule for the Solid Sound Festival. Some of us can not come to all three nights of this event and need to do some advance planning. Please Wilco/TMM/Higher Ground (whoever is in charge) share this information. Thanks in advance. >>
  22. I have to admit - I had not heard of any of these bands before this announcement.
  23. ~ when the bass first hits in Handshake Drugs ~love hearing Jeff sing ... "Around our yard I'll nail a fence..." ~on this past tour - Glenn's intro on Laminated Cat along with Mike on synth ~Pat on the shakers and John's bass groove in the middle of Spiders ~opening few lines of At Least That Is What You Said ~Pat using the xylophone during acoustic set at the end of Spiders ~whistle in Monday ~One Wing intro
  24. Jeff is playing the Saturday afternoon (4:30p?) headline set according to the video on the Philly folk fest website. Taj Mahal is the Saturday night headliner.
