Scott McMicken - In Your Dreams! One my favorite releases of the year!

Looking forward to this one.

Jeff Tweedy is one of the most winsome personalities in music today, and his decades as a professional musician have generated enough drama to fill several books — intra-band power struggles in both Wilco and Uncle Tupelo, substance abuse spurred on by debilitating migraines, his wife’s successful battle against cancer, the fight to get Yankee Hotel Foxtrot released, the list goes on — so I’m excited to learn that Tweedy is writing a memoir for the Penguin Random House imprint Dutton. According to information Dutton shared with the Associated Press, Tweedy’s book will be “funny, disarming, and honest.” Tweedy also offered this statement of intent:I have stories to tell, and I’d like for this book to be a combination of those stories about my experiences, and maybe a window into one person’s creative process, as well as some of what I’ve seen working with other artists in my current and former bands, in the studio, on the road, in my basement with my sons and more.
The memoir is untitled as of now, and a release date has not been set.

I just watched The Hunchback of Notre Dame on TCM last night and was thinking about her. I grew up watching films like Miracle on 34th Street and The Parent Trap and in later years, Hunchback, The Quiet Man and This Land is Mine. She really was one of the last greats of the golden age! I always thought her acting style was way ahead of its time…she was quite the lady.

Here's the Rolling Stone interview:
Jeff Tweedy Doesn’t Even Like Star Wars (The Movie)
http://www.stereogum.com/1824776/jeff-tweedy-doesnt-even-like-star-wars-the-movie/news/
"As far as how the next Wilco record will work, it’s definitely been affected by recent struggles in Tweedy’s life. His wife was diagnosed with cancer and his brother died in 2013. Both events affected his songwriting, and he said another new Wilco album is half finished."What the what?!

Lots of favorites. I like the cocky assuredness of "I create / I am the flame, a flame creator" in Random Name Generator.
Just about to post that one!
"I advocate aiming for the weak wall/ Summon the stone"
"Who said it's easy/ language is losing/ I swallow the steam and claim to be stupid."

If anyone is interested, I also made some artwork using their tour advertisement from the other day.

New(Old)Dr. Dog-The Psychedelic Swamp!
in Someone Else's Song
Posted
Releases on Feb 5th, 2016
The Psychedelic Swamp is Dr. Dog's ninth album, and fourth studio release with ANTI- Records. Most of the songs were among the first ever written together by Scott McMicken and Toby Leaman and an assemblage of friends and musical cohorts that would evolve as Dr. Dog over the years. This early endeavor of writing a concept album helped shape their creative process as they became a label-defying multi-hyphenated indie-psychedelic-rock-folk-Americana-basement-touring band.
The Psychedelic Swamp could very well have been Dr. Dog's first album. It could have been their only album; or it could have never been made at all. It's either a refined culmination of 15 years of collaborative music-making or the raw instrument on which they cut their teeth. This chicken vs. egg debate will be for historians to decide; fact is that if The Psychedelic Swamp was half-baked back in 2000, it has been reborn in 2016, fully baked!
