That's a good choice. It is one of the most spine-tingling moments I have had at a show seeing Alexandro Escovedo perform that whilst in the middle of the audience. By coincidence, watched the recent BBC4 doc on Mott the Hoople last night. Not particularly a fan, but almost always enjoy these music docs. Meanwhile, some pics here: http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/chi-jeff-tweedy-at-the-vic-20130313,0,3105543.photogallery e.g.

To be fair the doc did show all three of them all together and getting on fine - with DH in a godmother or acting godmother role for the children. And yes, the rift around the Hall of Fame was depicted with the ex-guitar player not amongst them.

That was a good one too - the ongoing bad feeling with the bass player (if I remember correctly) as their Grammy appearance came round, and I was quite sad to see how after all DH had done when nursing him, CS went off and married someone else.

BBC4 Graham Parker doc this Friday evening. Maybe on a YouTube near you soon. http://www.radiotimes.com/episode/vq2xp/graham-parker-dont-ask-me-questions This ongoing series is so watchable I even enjoy the ones where the music is not actually really my thing e.g. The Allman Brothers and Lynard Skynard-heavy Southern Rock Saga a few weeks ago.

My favourite description I ever read of Wilco is "five geography teachers and a tramp" :-)

"Glenn Kotche Interview from Interviews by Sam Kogon Sam Kogon and Glenn Kotche (Wilco) sit down to chat about Kotche's solo work, his work as the drummer of Wilco, his influences, inventions, methods, and his upcoming performance at Crouse Music School at Syracuse University (3/7/13)" http://samkogon.bandcamp.com/track/glenn-kotche-interview

I hope they publish the full set of 50 songs that they learn. it will be funny to see what they have been learning/struggling with even if half of them don't get played. They could check this out too of course: http://viachicago.org/topic/48667-weirdobscurestrange-covers-you-would-like-to-see-wilco-perform/

"Son Volt Dials Up The Honky-Tonk" By STEVE DOUGHERTY http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324338604578326430967867730.html?mod=googlenews_wsj http://otisgibbs.com/episode-18-brian-henneman/

Weird :-) Thanks.

If so I shall consider moving there. (Thread title is phrased as though states do have official songs of other genres? Do any other states have official rock songs?)

Furtively

/\ /\ /\ Very nicely done

I also really liked The Shadow Line, if that ever got to you. Chris Eccleston in it too for any Who fans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shadow_Line_(TV_series)

Spiral series 4. Gritty Parisienne flic drama. Stylish & Good stuff.

It was watchable but lost its way towards the end. It was a semi-replacement for The sadly missed Spooks that was excellent through several series (bar the odd bit of improbable electronics spying wizardry) Did that ever get to the US? Be careful not to get too attached to any character - they usually get bumped off ...

Emmylou's voice is an absolute treasure of course. Pretty good.

It's a good one- preferred it to the Garlin podcast.

Float On - The Floaters. "Hi, My Name's Jeff, ..."

Now I'm so tired out enjoying that lot (and others you can find) I think I need a lie down ...
