It is good. Why did I have the impression that the album was just Jeff on acoustic?! Pleasantly surprised to hear percussion etc.

Saw this and am looking forward to it - i bet they have a surprise in store or two. Liam Cunningham is also confirmed (via his sister Sima who is not there). Seems weird to promote a solo album with a full band performance!

It couldn't sound more odd! Even your reaction - glad I went/fell asleep more than once! haha

New article in Philadelphia Inquirer: http://www2.philly.com/philly/entertainment/music/jeff-tweedy-wilco-memoir-lets-go-free-library-20181109.html I liked this: I interviewed you when you played the Philadelphia Folk Festival in 2010 and called you a “serial collaborator.” Is that right? You’ve teamed with a lot of people, from the Jays to Jim O’Rourke [on Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and A Ghost Is Born] to three albums with Mavis Staples.I've actually been doing a lot in the past five or six years that's primarily been me making all the music. Most of the last few Wilco albums have b

New article in Boston Globe: https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/2018/11/08/wilco-jeff-tweedy-details-making-his-memoir/Rsh81RawapyslIav7pYHzO/story.html Couple interesting passages to me: ‘If I have a message,” said Jeff Tweedy, “it’s that everybody should make stuff. Everybody should feel liberated to do that. People suck at sports, but they feel compelled to play softball the rest of their lives when they discover they’re not any good at it. But [most] people stop creating when they leave kindergarten. They don’t give themselves any license to sit and make something that wasn’t there.”

There is a Spotify playlist for the book. Looks pretty good too. Any thoughts? Clues? Do people care about playlists?

Antarctigo Vespucci not really sure what to expect live from Jeff Rosenstock & Chris Farren

Awesome. I hadn't been digging the solo version at my usual 11 on a 10 scale for all Tweedy things, but this is amazing.

4 shows listed. Jan 3/4 6/7

There is another one of these up for auction. Great cause - Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law. So cool that Jeff and Sue donate these kinds of things. https://one.bidpal.net/resist18/browse/2(details:item/3) "A special behind-the-scenes look at the world of Wilco for the ultimate fan!

Thought this was worth posting here: https://variety.com/2018/music/news/wilco-jeff-tweedy-publishing-administration-bmg-1202961817/ Jeff Tweedy has extended his global publishing administration deal with BMG. Originally signing with Bug Music in 2004, which was acquired by BMG in 2011, Tweedy in 2012 expanded his agreement to cover his entire songwriting catalog “I truly appreciate the loyalty and commitment BMG has shown me for so many years and I love that I will be able to continue working alongside these great people with familiar faces.”

I will report back from Chicago for sure. Interesting that the event has not sold out. Feels like $30 for a signed book, to hear the conversation and take in a few songs at Music Box is a great deal/worthwhile... Just occurred to me that George Saunders would be an amazing candidate for this.

I'm looking forward to finding out who the moderators are. Do people have hopes there? In Chicago: Greg Kot, Spencer Tweedy, Jessica Hopper, ??

I too I am pleased Very well done Feel like I was there

-When Tweedy heard "How's Jay?" from the crowd, first, he shrugged comically. Then he asked, "Which one? 'Cause one of them's dead."- Sounds pretty awful

I'm appreciating the suspense building for this one.

Pretty dumb stuff. Who's the person in the hazmat suit at the end?

Yes! Someone posted about it in Someone else's song. I responded with "That guitar sounds pretty great. This could be on Summerteeth/MMAII, right?" and conversation ceased. haha.

Speaking of caps. Are we really supposed to shout WARM when referring to this??

That guitar sounds pretty great. This could be on Summerteeth/MMAII, right?

A new documentary on this guitar shop features Nels! Anyone seen it? Know what he ended up purchasing for Jeff? "Then Nels Cline comes in, shopping for a gift for his Wilco bandmate Jeff Tweedy's 50th birthday, and a viewer might well want to move into the shop permanently." https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/carmine-street-guitars-1140885 https://www.austin360.com/entertainment/movies/lovers-music-keep-eye-out-for-this-guitar-documentary/6o9T5zW63LlCL89jqv8eyM/
