Wilco in Year-End Top Tens, etc.


Recommended Posts

This one caught my eye in the SF Chronicle's "Highs/Low/Top Tens/etc." this morning, as the Pop Music high point of the year:

 

It's hard to think of a more perfect moment than watching the sun slip away over Golden Gate Park as Wilco strummed through its closing-night set at August's Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival - even if you couldn't stand Wilco.

Also, Wilco side project-related, in the Jazz section:

 

MVP: Scott Amendola. This workhorse drummer has reversed the usual pattern that says local talents have to flee to New York to find themselves. Born in New Jersey, he moved to the Bay Area in the '90s after attending Boston's Berklee College of Music and has stayed here ever since. Now his buoyant style - always with funk in mind - has made him the most in-demand local drummer. His bands include Plays Monk, the Nels Cline Singers and the Scott Amendola Band, and he's played on dozens of CDs, including those of Bill Frisell, John Zorn, Jim Campilongo, Joel Harrison and Charlie Hunter.

:yes
