Came across this on his twitter feed. Thought it was worth passing along. I'm impressed. http://zildjian.com/Videos/All-Videos#/v/IkLCg6zNlz8

Details are slowly emerging on the newest Minus 5 release, "Scott the Hoople in the Dungeon of Horror". Jeff Tweedy plays guitar on it. 5 LPs. Record Store Day only. Looking forward to listening....

Wilco did a great job on the Americana tour with the strangest guests if you ask me. The show I saw featured a bunch of jaw droppers: Wilco w/ Warren Haynes (amazing) & w/ Ian Hunter (amazing) Pearl Jam 20 show at Alpine Valley had a ton too. I saw: All Night (w/ Glen Hansard, David Garza & Joseph Arhur backing vocals) Habit w/ Liam Finn Red Mosquito (w/ Julian Casablancas) Elderly Woman Behind The Counter A Small Town (w/ Dhani Harrison) New World w/John Doe Smile (w/ Glen Hansard) Hunger Strike (Chris Cornell duets with Vedder) Reach Down (w/ backing vocals by Eddie Vedder, Glen

I'll see him at Pitchfork. Interested to see what the setlist looks like given the album he's supporting...as in how he will mix up the up tempo with the slow tempo.

Sting & Paul Simon tonight

Lucius and You Won't at High Noon Saloon

Margert's podcast, Monsters of Talk, from last week features Mikae and was recorded back in December. It is about 40 minutes and I found Mikael to be very entertaining in it. He talks mostly about Wilco and specifically about the owl and touring on Wilco's bus. Thought I would share in case others wanted to check it out.

How come? I saw their last tour and thought it was great. 360

Get On Your Boots was equally as weird as Numb in my book

Pre-order the Adventureland album here: http://bangonacan.org/store/music/adventureland mix tape Glenn put together here: http://www.wqxr.org/#!/story/wilcos-glenn-kotche-spins-offbeat-influences/ I'm digging the mix tape.

124 days since the last Wilco show. That number seems destined to stretch until at least June which would put the break at 230 days. Their longest break ever between shows was 226 days (Sept '10 - May '11) leading up to The Whole Love. I miss Wilco live shows...

There once was a day where Wilco was the Jeff Tweedy backup band. Seems that the band has stabilized its lineup but maybe at the expense of letting Jeff record the styles he wants to??

I would agree with indy81. Bruce puts on a great show, but you don't sound sold on it. You have to go in with a good attitude. I don't listen to Bruce at home, but I've seen him 3-4 times and it is a fun show. Better now with a big band too imo.

Lord Huron tonight

Probably within the last 45 minutes of the show. If you are fast forwarding, the teacher was recognized by the President of the Academy (who was on stage with Ryan Seacrest and I think John Legend). The teacher had a huge beard - Kris Noveselic style. Jeff is a couple rows behind the teacher.

I'm a Metallica fan and can say that their performance pretty much just sucked. Saw Tweedy in the audience when they were recognizing the teacher of the year. He stood up to give him a standing O (oh oh).

Looks like Jeff is at the Grammys. Good luck dude! Edit: Lost to Pharrell Williams. Cheesy statement, but it should be honor to have been nomimated I think. Great company.

I will second that. I rarely get past the first two songs because they are so good.

I need to check out Rich's releases (and live show), but my favorite solo album is Marc's first: It's About Time. Not your typical lead guitar player solo album. From there, New Earth Mud's second album (This Magnificant Distance) is also great. I agree with the comments on CRB.

As long as we are pointing these things out, Jon is not an original member. No idea why he was brought in back in '91 though.

Superchunk were great!! How did I not get into these guys earlier? Definitely adding them to my "must see when they are in town" list (it is a short list). Great energy and intensity. Just love that voice. Bass player, Jason Narducy, is great. He fronted the opening band, Split Single, as well and they were also very good.
