Wilco

Thank you, Best Week Ever

Best Week Ever read my mind with their response to Blender’s article (that I posted about yesterday). To that I say, well done!

For me, it’s always been Phil Collins.

Best of the year, so far

I don’t know exactly what the Hattiesburgamerican is (besides, apparently, Mississippi’s Entertainment Guide), but I do enjoy their taste in music.

Jeff Tweedy is God!

Or at least the voice of God, on the July 18th episode of Comedy Central’s Lil Bush. Didn’t see it? Clips are here.

Someone Else’s Song: RK gets naughty

The video from Rilo Kiley’s forthcoming “Under the Blacklight” is…porn. Or maybe it’s just about porn. Same same.

Spaziale PartII: Tonight!

Elle — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 16:51:14 +0000

I just love festival season. Iron&Wine, Sonic Youth and The New Pornographers tore up Pitchfork over the weekend (check out the reviews at You Ain’t No Picasso) Jeff’s Bonnaroo performances are all over YouTube, and Wilco will be performing alongside Bright Eyes and Mudhoney at the second sitting of the Spaziale Festival in Torino, Italy. Next, they move on to Spain for the Benicassim International Music Festival. The lineup includes Amy Winehouse (if she shows), Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon, Rufus Wainwright…and I’m going to go pass out now.
