Albert Tatlock

Not been moved by anything he's done since about 1987 (Ghost of Tom Joad excepted, though that was a bit too samey), but this is indeed very good.

The fourth disc will contain ‘Man in the Sand’, Kim Hopkins’ 1999 film, which documents the collaboration between Woody, Wilco and me."

Nice find. Firstly, I liked the contrast between interviewer and JT. Usually the interviewer tries to act extra cool. Here it looks like JTs school interview with a careers adviser. At any minute I expect him to say "... And son, if you want to get anywhere you really need to get a haircut". Secondly: "twot"? You say tomato, I say tomato. :-)

Wilco at the Grammys: An Instagram Photo Diary "Although Wilco‘s The Whole Love didn’t win a Grammy for “Best Rock Album,” it’s not to say the band sat around and wallowed in lost statues of gold phonographs. Quite the contrary. Check out the photo gallery below, where Wilco’s Jon Stirratt and Mikael Jorgensen documented their day behind-the-scenes for Hive starting at the pool and ending with Sir Paul McCartney. Because really, there’s nothing left after Macca." http://read.mtvhive.com/2012/02/13/wilco-grammy-awards-photos/#/1 Hearing about the Macca meeting warms the cockles of my he

Ditto. I think now they've got their own label they're allowing themselves to claim batteries on expenses.

I heard that when Superman goes to bed, he sleeps in Bbop pyjamas.

Friday night from 9 to midnight is music night on BBC4. After that they showed this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlg4AWW8ogI As a UK resident I can catch up on BBC iPlayer, but I think it's all on YouTube in chunks

Why can' t you just stack the macaroni straight?

A reminder to myself about how great this series of 10-15 minute episodes was. To those wo have never heard of it, the premise is that a bunch of famous people 'retire' to a suburban street in the UK. All are played by the brilliant Sessions & Cornell. The clip above collects most of the bits featuring Mick & Keith, who now run the corner shop. Search YouTube for some more clips to set yourself up nicely for the weekend. Enjoy!

That was the other one, yes :-)

Indeed. Lots of stuff for the musicians, so completely ignored by me. "Everybody in the band has to take into consideration that there’s an acoustic instrument onstage, and I think having a lower overall stage volume is the only real key to getting it to work." This was interesting to em, as it it my most common gripe with live shows from any band. Increased volume does not equal increased energy. Night 1 at the RoundHouse in September strayed some way over the line (though certain songs had a visceral appeal because of it), night 2 was just right.

The Boiiing and Basher. Indeed

Well I liked Wilco The Song anyway, though not a lot else from that album. http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/uponsun/2012/01/wilco_john_stirratt_interview.php

http://www.denverpost.com/music/ci_19730855 MUSIC A stronger, healthier man, Wilco singer Jeff Tweedy is ready to show "Love" POSTED: 01/15/2012 01:00:00 AM MSTBy Ricardo Baca The Denver Post Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy is a direct man, a bandleader who has moved beyond multiple high-profile collisions with bandmates, not to mention a couple of brawls with his own demons. And he's come out a stronger musician. When asked about the obstacles he's faced throughout his lengthy career in alt-country, folk and rock music — be it a battle with migraine headaches and the painkiller addiction tha

Poptodd, I would recommend these self titled solo debut One of the best voices (as Bono has testified too if that means anything to you) and an ear for a great melody - or at least 7 out of 10 times :-)

Beatles 90% Wilco / Maria McKee / Emmylou / Elbow / The Jam around 70% The rest: no one gets more than around 40% I don't get easily blinded into accepting everything from anyone.
