The Tweedy Show shall return Thursday evening.

Someone in a U2 fansite posted last week that the U2 SiriusXM station should be coming soon, according to a response from SiriusXM. I had it in the back of my mind since December when the announcement was made. I expected something in time for the fall. Yesterday news trickled in that the station would start on Wednesday July 1st at 3pm. That news quickly disappeared and I thought that it was pushed back. Woke up today to a Rolling Stone article with The Edge making the official announcement. All of the programming and live vault sounds excellent!

p.s. U2roolz, glad to hear you're feeling better. you've been doing yeoman's work with your recaps. and paul, and diane, and all the rest of you, of course. we'd all be lost in the dark without such powerful institutional knowledge on our side.

Thank you for the kind words, Isaac! Great story! Thank you for sharing it with us! And yes, I view this as a collaboration between Paul, Monty & myself.

 

And it sounds like you’re local to me, since you were also going to see Wilco on Jeff’s birthday in Boston. I don’t think that will ever happen again in terms of scheduling a show on his birthday in my neck of the woods.

I’ll be happy to be substitute note-taker. Can’t promise to be as thorough as you are, but I’ll be making my notes for the song list anyway. Might as well jot down a few other notes on what they discuss, too. Good luck to you, and be well.

Thank you! ❤️

Just a heads up for Thursday’s show, if anyone wants to fill in for me. Thanks in advance!

No need to worry, but I’ll be undergoing a colonoscopy prep on Thursday evening to hopefully fix an issue that began late last week. I feel fine. I’m making sure to not become anemic. I totally understand when Jeff mentioned how anxiety makes him want to poop. I’m the same way. I think this stressful time that we’re living in exacerbated that issue which led to gross and scary bathroom issues. Anyways, I was right on it checking myself into the ER on Friday afternoon and that’s a huge step because I hate hospitals.

I was surprised that Susie saw my Elton question. Loved Jeff's answer. I think I bought that MusiCares DVD.

I remember downloading this show sometime around 2008/2009, but I don’t remember if it was a bonus download with a cd or if it was a special download via Wilco’s website. Anyone remember?
