Aimee Mann, The Wallflowers, still waiting for the Peter Buck LP.

That's all for music released in 2012.

Of the new bands I heard some interesting songs by Murder by Death, they were quite good, but I still don't know whether I like the voice of the singer or not, at times he reminds me of Nick Cave.

"Johnny has recorded ‘The Messenger’ a solo album which is scheduled for release on 25th February 2013 on Warner Bros. The album was recorded in Manchester and Berlin and mastered at Abbey Road. Johnny has contributed writing, vocals, guitar and production on the album, songs titles include, I Want The Heartbeat, The Right Thing Right, Upstart, Word Starts Attack & European Me".

"Johnny will be touring the UK in March 2013 and playing festivals worldwide".

Watch Scott McCaughey on Portland television: http://www.kgw.com/video?id=175900921&sec=547617&ref=articlevidmod

Reporter: What is it about Portland that makes stuff like this happen?

Scott: Me (laughs) I'm what makes it happen!

After a gig at Doug Fir Lounge where the Venus 3 performed with Robyn Hitchcock.

Looks like a few folks who were at the Celebration Day premiere in London on Friday night video'd the screen and have started uploading clips to Youtube. This has got me juiced for next Wednesday when I am seeing it at my local cinema (try and ignore the guys head in the row in front of the person filming!).

incredible how these videos look so real, like everything was happening in real time, a feeling that's actually reinforced by the presence of people moving and the cellphone screens. And yet the footage is 5 years old.

funny, i thought this was about the u2 song

0.00%. The genre does nothing for me.

Spain’s public radio wants Wilco drop visit to cabin

Spain’s Radio 3 has launched a Twitter campaign to have Wilco pay a visit to their studios.

Participating listeners will have the chance to win tickets to Wilco concerts and will be invited to the cabin on the day of the broadcast.

Mr. Ángel Carmona, host of Hoy empieza todo launched the campaign in a blog post dated October 8th:

“We have always been Wilco (fans) a passion that’s shared by friends of Hoy empieza todo. That’s why we propose a challenge: bring Wilco (to the radio studios)”.

The station is asking listeners to write tweets to both Wilco (@wilco) and Radio 3 (@radio3_rne) employing a different hashtag everyday.

For instance, on the first day of the campaign , #goodmorningjeff was selected, and the idea is to employ a different hashtag every day.

Apparently they're also playing as part of a guitar festival in Toronto in early November. I think the venue is the Great Hall or something like that.

Anybody listening to her new one? I think "Charmer" is terrific. Seeing her in November in Cincy.

The first single Charmer didn't really impress me, but I've been listening to the rest of the songs and they're really good, particularly Barfly. I've seen some customer comments going as far as saying it's her best album ever. It's a great CD and better than I expected it would be, but I still listen a lot to her nineties output. I decided to buy the vinyl although it doesn't include a CD copy.

"Not being really confident in my singing, I asked Corin to sing one and she was gracious enough to do so, Scott sang a few, mostly the ones he wrote melodies to. So why is it a solo record? I wrote 95% of the lyrics and most of the music, it is the first thing i have ever been involved in where I was actually in charge and the record turned out to be kind of like a trip through my mind, all of the kinds of music I love, played with some of my favorite musicians, in a completely one take spontaneous atmosphere. It was either call it a Peter Buck record or Richard M Nixon, Lenny Kaye convinced me that it should be called a Peter Buck solo record because it does represent me or at least me right then." - Peter Buck
