So, there is actually a one and a half page spread in the paper copy of The Sun today. Can't tell you how weird that seems - Wilco meets White Van Man. Bosh! Don't get too big headed JT - tomorrows fish and chip paper remember, and a lot of people won't get past page 3 anyway :-) Interview done whilst at The Palladium, publication delayed to coincide with the rarities and best of release. It was a pretty reasonable piece with a few nice asides from JT. I think that an editor homed in on the only possible bit of contention and wrote the headline to spice things up a bit, which is a shame -

Spencer flies solo for a phone interview on some local Chicago channel http://youtu.be/_EzcB_9_DME He starts around the 8 minute mark. General chat, no groundbreaking news.

Been having trouble getting a physical copy here in the UK. Been listening to streams online for a while but my CD arrived this morning Towards the end is tails off a bit, but the first half has some wonderful melodies so well worth it. Edit: The end has grown on me now :-)

A very nice little report. I think you captured the mood of what must have been a special evening. Thanks.

RIP Victor, coach/dictator of the coolest sports team outside of the glorious 74 Dutch football side and any team with Barry John in it.

I would add: Augie March - Havens Dumb

"Wilco auteur Jeff Tweedy, who produced her previous two albums, appeared with drummer-son Spencer Tweedy to perform “You Are Not Alone.” (“My producer!” “My grandson!” Staples said of both.) She and the elder Tweedy elegantly blended their voices for their dual vocals, creating the evening’s first moment of musical gravity." http://entertainment.suntimes.com/entertainment-news/review-mavis-staples-saves-mavis-staples-tribute-auditorium-theatre/ - a mixed review of the logistics of the event, which were being filmed.

The interview that is, though he's also nice. http://diffuser.fm/nels-cline-wilco-guitar-playing-interview/

A few words from JT in Billboard regarding the two new releases. Plus TWEEDY is to be an ongoign project (if delayed to allow Spencer to finally get to uni). http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6319897/jeff-tweedy-wilco-alpha-mike-foxtrot-whats-your-20-essential-tracks

A more restrained British perspective:- Ta.

I was referring to what was (originally) written in the The Hague thread i.e. the night before. But no matter. Glad you had a great time

Something from the horses mouth about the previous night that has been causing ructions. I also understand there was a big foul up witht the organisation in Cologne too that meant early queuers were not let in first etc. that might have affected the atmosphere there.

A search for Tweedy + Copenhagen yields some decent quality YouTube videos. There's a nice Love Like A Wire there.

The translation doesn't read too badly. Is that Bob Newhart? http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aftenposten.no%2Fkultur%2Fk-magasinet%2FDa-han-var-liten_-var-pappa-pa-turn-og-slet-med-rus-Na-spiller-de-i-band-sammen-7779443.html&hl=en&langpair=auto|en&tbb=1&ie=utf-8

Is that a wig? http://music-mix.ew.com/2014/11/07/jeff-tweedy-album-sukierae/ Couple fo 3 minute segments on the link. Sounds like a nice interview actually. "The entire interview will air at 7 p.m. ET tonight and across the weekend on SiriusXM channel 105." - The page was published on 7/11 though.

Saturday: New Moon & Lover Like a Wire (JT & ST only not full band) http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02bf4g3 Interview not as painful as list time JT was on the same show. No news of significance.
