sureshot Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 At least I think thats what I was watching. They interviewed him on a segment they did about the record industry and more bands going DIY. Also showed some very brief live clips. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tugmoose Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 So the MSM is still trotting out Jeff as the poor, poor victim of of the big, bad music industry. The inspiring story about how Wilco was viciously dumped by a soulless media behemoth, only to rise up and rejoin the same media behemoth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ction Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Did Jeff make enough money from VW to buy AOL-Time/Warner? If so, good for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Can someone please elaborate on this DIY. Is it Do-it-Yourself?More or less putting all things to do with your record in your own hands without the help of a label, distributor, blah blah blah...That's what it means anyway and this might not apply as I didn't see the news report, but I would never associate Wilco with the phrase DIY. Some side projects maybe...The Autumn Defense for instance is put out on Broadmoor, which I think is pretty much just John stirratt and his sister putting out their own projects. To my knowledge though, Wilco records have always been put out by Warner subsidiaries, which is hardly doing it yourself. Not that I'm criticizing mind you..God Bless them and their record deal... Again, I didn't see the segment, so it could very well never have been implied to begin with.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thermocaster Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Sigh...such a shame that Tweedy would sell himself and the band out artistically and appear on the nightly news. On NBC, even! Bruce Springsteen would never have done this. Neither would Neil Young. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Or maybe he should endorse diet coke I kid I kid... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I'd endorse diet Coke. I don't think it's wrong to endorse products you like and are of good quality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anna Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 This clip made it onto New Zealand's tv3 news, kinda cool. You can watch it here but skip to about 2.17 because a story on the NZ music industry comes before it. Jeff is on for about 3 seconds, the story mainly focused on Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

ianshaw Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 OK - I haven't watched the clip, so I'm talking out my ass, but . . . Yes, Wilco releases have always been Warner-ized. BUT Wilco's approach to taping (while not that original), giving away bonus material to buyers of the CD (original), and (most of all) streaming (particularly of YHF, where it was fairly groundbreaking) sure seem to me to give Jeff enough "indie" cred to be a valuable interviewee about the internet's impact on musicians.
