Townshend drops Wilco's name (again)


Recommended Posts

A few months ago, Pete Townshend's blog listed Wilco as one of his favorite bands. On tour with The Who once again, Mr. T had this to say in today's Ottawa Citizen:

 

Q: Are there any young guitarists out there today who

thrill you? Who do you listen to in the car?

 

A: I like a lot of new guitar players. It's hard to

listen to guitar players who are better than me and I

can hear them free at almost any decent music store.

In my car I listen to Yo-Yo Ma (especially with Edgar

Meyer), Wilco, Flaming Lips, Sufjan Stevens, Martha

Wainwright, Sean Lennon, Sigur Ros, Buddy Guy. I

listen to a lot of jazz and orchestral music too. The

usual classic stuff. For new jazz I go to BBC Radio 3

in the UK. For new orchestral writing the same

station. There are late night shows now that play the

most incredibly innovative music.

 

The entire interview is here.

Perhaps Pete can help persuade WILCO to come and play at the Virgin Festival in Baltimore. The WHO are one of the main acts...and Keane just dropped off the ticket b/c the singer is in REHAB....seeing that the DC show just sold out in mere seconds...wouldn't it be nice to have WILCO play a larger venue with his buddy Pete? I'm all over it !!! :rock

I was hoping for this too. Except that Nels and Glenn have a show the same day in Columbus OH.
