This is what I am seeing; http://www.wilcoweb.com/ I guess its probably temporary if you can still navigate to the original version of the site.

It appears that Wilco has changed their Web site. A different design. Looks like only 3 links:one appears to go to Twitter posts, one to the Solid Sound site and one to the Wilco store.

What I find interesting about Duckman's comment is that it seems to me that Uncle Tupelo seem to make many more "political" statements than Wilco ever made in their music. I am a latecomer to Uncle Tupelo, but in exploring Jay & Jeff's lyrics in UT songs I find several political lyrics if not those that at least describe the plight of the lower working class. Songs like Graveyard Shift, Fall Down easy, Sauget Wind (yes I realize that these were penned by Jay)could be considered a lot more political then Jeff covering "Political Science" and dedicating it to Dick Cheney.

I think One Wing was done at Lollapalooza about 10 months before Wilco (The Album) was released. Jeff called it a "WAP" (Work In Progress)

Thanks!

Does anyone know the brand/model of headphones they are using? If so, any opinions on the product? They all appear to be the same type in each picture.

Personally, I wish they had completed that DVD that was going to be made from Kicking Television. I beleive Sam Jones had filmed it. I recall that they had said there were some technical or timecode issues with the film, but if the sample (Kicking Telvision video)was any indication as to the rest of the film, it might have been great. I'm surpised no "cutting room floor" bootleg of that film ever surfaced. What'd they do, burn the film stock?

I think these might have been mentioned before, but this is what I thought I heard on a few Uncle Tupelo songs: Roll me under your mattress Shake my baby and please bring her back 'Cause Steph won't even be still Karen's over the landfill Carries us all on his broken back And of course: He had a black guy.

Get a copy of Big Star's #1 Record/Radio City. There is a CD of these two albums sold as one package You will not be disappointed. There is also a Big Star box set that was recently released.

Laurie Anderson, possibly?

Would you mind telling me what program you use to record the Webcast? Thanks!

At the Clearwater show, I saw him push the palm of his hand under his chin, kinda like what some people will do when they try and "crack" their neck. In the Ashes DVD he mention he was having problems with his vertabrae so maybe this is where the problem lies.

Personally, I liked the 4 antique-design floor lamps they brought out & lit up for the acoustic set. Wonder if it should really be called an "acoustic" set since it's not completely unplugged. I recall Jeff saying its the kinda the way they play when they just get together or when they play backstage. maybe they should call it the "floor lamp" set Also loved the automated voice introduction of each member of the band at the tail end of Wilco (the Song) I had not heard them do that before and it was kinda cool.

I believe there is a Hooters restaraunt is just a few miles a way from Ruth Eckerd Hall on Gulf-to-Bay Blvd. You could probably talk your girl into going since the location has a "historical significance" - it was the very first Hooters - before it became a chain. I think Jeff himself might be interested as well. The last time he performed in Tampa, he asked the crowd if this is the place where they shoot the Girls Gone Wild videos.

I'm going with my wife to the Clearwater show too, but sorry, I already requested I'm Always In Love. My wife is requesting Reservations. Actually the best combination I have ever heard is Poor Places/Reservations/Spiders. They did that at one of the Chicago Residency dates(wasn't at the show, but it's on the Owl & Bear site) and the sequence is incredible. If I'm not mistaken, they did the Poor Places/Reservations combination at Tampa Theatre in 2002 and again at Carol Morsani Hall in 2005. Now if they would just do that again but add Spiders, it would be perfect! I agree Ruth Eck

Oh, OK, thanks for clueing me in. Now I have that feeling that a person haves when they wave at someone who they think is waving at them but then realizes that person is waving at someone else. I'm going to bed now and sulk.

There are several references in the book Learning To Die by Greg Kot as it concerns Jeff Tweedy's musical influences. I recall that he mentioned that since he was the youngest in his family, he was initially influenced by the music of his older siblings. I remember he mentioned Between The Buttons by The Rolling Stones which I thought was surprising. I also remember a reference in the book to him being influenced by The Minutmen which to me seems to make more sense.

I would still stick with Wilco as the best band of the decade, but I would agree that Jack White is incredible. I just saw "It Might Get Loud" last week and White puts Jimmy Page and The Edge to shame. I could forgive Jimmy Page in that documentary as he is getting a bit long in the tooth. But the film revealed to me that The Edge is not much more than someone who relies on more on electronic manipulation of his guitar rather than his own ability. Not that I ever really cared much for U2 in the first place. If you haven't seen that doc I would highly recommend it. The best sequence is in t

Yes, absolutely. The most down-to-earth, human, geniune rock band that I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Not only do they have the talent, but actually seem to care about their music. For someone who has had to endure the years in which bands/artists gave into disco rock or stadium rock and generally sell out artistically, Wilco has been a significant breath of fresh air.
