Heart full of holes

From NPR:

Wilco's pop masterpiece Summerteeth was released 25 years ago today. Watch them perform songs from the album in their 2016 Tiny Desk concert.

A pretty nifty look at the thinking behind the last few Wilco albums:

Looking forward to seeing some of Joe's friends this Saturday . Hope you all can make it!

It might sound trite, but Joe was truly one of the most kind, warm, generous, funny, thoughtful people I have ever known. He was definitely one of the good guys and I will miss him dearly.

Rest in peace, my friend.

If you weren't able to catch Jeff on his book tour, here's a short listen to alleviate the FOMO.

Anyone watching the live stream? It's pretty great. 

Love your photos Charles. So many great memories. I hope you'll be capturing 2024 for us, too!

93XRT just said a NEW song from Wilco is coming up in a few minutes. We could be on the cusp of something!

It's Evicted 

Cousin to be released Sept 29.

Changing gears, how the hell did you score tickets for this?!?!?   I live in DC and don't know a single person who got a ticket to any of the shows?

My daughter scored tickets for Jeff. She's the only person I know who got any tickets for any of the 44 shows in the lottery. 

I was able to grab one more for a friend through the exchange on the day of the show, about 2 hours before doors opened.

I'd like to see the original setlist vs what was played last night. 

We asked for a setlist immediately afterward and were told "There is no setlist." Was he winging it???? 

Absolutely amazing set from Mr. Tweedy.  

Jeff Tweedy at The (teeny tiny) Atlantis.

I like what he's done with his hair. 

Thanks for the recap, jackins!

Your photo? Pretty!

Yep! They were terrific. Margo's voice is still incredible.

Excellent recap, Vince! And nice to see you as always  

Not sure if this was posted elsewhere, but here's a recent interview with Jeff. There are also some links at the bottom of this page for some other good Tweedy content. Enjoy!

You and everybody else it sounds like! Say hi to Diane and Chris and Beth S. 

It was an excellent performance. We were fortunate enough to go backstage afterward (thanks to a friend of a friend) and spend a few minutes chatting with Mr. Thompson. He was absolutely charming.

Thanks. Wish I had sort of been more pro and planned out the transitions a little better. Part of the issue was I wasn't certain when I recorded the blurbs what audio was going to be available. And that wound up being a problem with a few of them because there apparently isn't any existing audio that the band has of either the Be Not So Fearful with Bill Fay in London or the meltdown end of the final Kicking TV show at the Vic.

No matter - as long as the Love Will Keep us Together audio survives! 

I'm loving Paul's guest DJ set.  He's chosen some amazing performances and as usual, his commentary is top notch.  Well done, Paul!  

Your cookies look perfect, Donna!

Meanwhile in VA, it's cranberry pistachio biscotti time... Only 2 more batches to go.
