Friday filler: Your semi-regular Wilco update
Father Scott
To celebrate the forthcoming June release of Wilco’s yet-to-be-named seventh record (co-hat tip Spackler and Wilco’s own email), here’s a Bad Plus cover of Radio Cure. And if you’re wondering, yes, it sounds like every other jazz cover of any non-jazz song.

Saturday filler: Yankee Hotel Wordle
Father Scott
A while back NPR’s All Songs Considered linked me to a site called wordle.net, which creates a design based on a random chunk of words you put into it. Similar to the Obamicon phenomenon, you create something and save it on the site for everyone to see.
I put in the words that are most [...]

Hear ye, hear ye: new Wilco
Father Scott
Yoontunes has kindly bundled together the four new Wilco tunes that are floating around: “One Wing”, “Sunny Feeling,” and two unnamed ones. Take a listen.
I’ve discussed the first two before, but I’ll repeat that I’m underwhelmed. “One Wing” sounds like a cover band doing a caricature of Wilco (especially Tweedy’s voice…he’s almost hamming it [...]

Tweedy and Farrar share pleasantries
Father Scott
I’ve written a number of times about Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar, usually as a reference point in other posts about Wilco or Uncle Tupelo or Golden Smog or Tweedy’s overall impact on my life. In any case, their relationship, or lack thereof, fascinates me.
Which is why I treasure this YouTube clip I just [...]

Tweedy/Bennett in ‘09
Father Scott
Jay Bennett can’t seem to separate himself from Jeff Tweedy.
Just a day after Tweedy announced that Wilco was aiming for a new album in the spring of ‘09 (I was saving that for today, but suffice it to say, I’m excited) comes news today that Bennett is planning on three albums for next year. [...]

I am posting new Wilco songs, you are listening
Father Scott
Over the weekend, our friends (i.e., people we’ve never met but whose musings we read) at I Am Fuel, You Are Friends posted a couple of new Wilco songs: One Wing and Sunny Feeling.
As much as I love the concept of new Wilco songs, neither of these did a ton for me. They both [...]

The best of your best
Father Scott
A requisite for being a music fan is the interest in making lists. There’s something innate in us: we like to qualify our taste against our taste. What was your favorite album of the year? What are your favorite 41 songs of the year? Who’s your favorite electroacoustic ambient grindcore band based out of [...]

Get under the Wilco covers (again)
Father Scott
Here’s part 2, taking us from ‘99-’02. Follow for part 1.
Part 1 was a bit of a disappointment in how many of the songs (espec. the Son Volt ones and Sunday Bloody Sunday) were just snippets of them screwing around. We’ll see how Part 2 does.
A complete review in the coming days.

Get under the Wilco covers
Father Scott
I haven’t listened to this yet, so no commentary, but: I Am Fuel, You Are Friends lists a collection of live Wilco covers, with a second batch coming. (Sorry for the horrible headline, but Fuel/Friends stole the obvious one.) If you’re a Wilco completist, this is exciting. I’ve only heard 10 of this batch — [...]
