Happy Birthday — Jeff Tweedy
Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy turns 42 today. Happy birthday, Jeff! Check out this performance of “Hate It Here” from 8/13/08:
David Fricke’s review of Wilco (The Album)
Rolling Stone’s David Fricke on Wilco’s just released album, Wilco (The Album):
Wilco’s seventh studio album is a triumph of determined simplicity by a band that has been running from the obvious for most of this decade. The title is the giveaway. So is the opening gag, “Wilco (The Song),” with its rattling-bones guitar and singer-boss Jeff Tweedy’s assurance, sung like pillow talk, that his combo is good for all that ails you: “Do you dabble in depression?/Is someone twisting a knife in your back?…Wilco will love you, baby.” At times, Wilco (The Album) sounds like the scarring static and cryptic impressionism of 2002′s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot never happened. The Seventies-George Harrison sunshine in “You Never Know” and the country-rock clatter of “Sonny Feeling” are closer to Wilco’s Big Star-in-a-barn debut, 1995′s A.M. (more…)
I was there the night Jeff Tweedy punched a guy in Missouri…
Paste Magazine:
I’ve seen my share of beer-heaving, mosh pit-circling shows; I used to watch my brother who was a drummer in a heavy-metal band. But nothing will compare to the wildest concert I’ve ever attended. The night Wilco played at the Shrine Mosque in Springfield, Mo. will forever be etched in my mind with images of Fez hats and Jeff Tweedy punching a boisterous stage crasher. (more…)
R.I.P. — Jay Bennett (1963-2009)
Former Wilco multi-instrumentalist, Jay Bennett has passed. Bennett apparently sucumbed to complications stemming from a recent hip replacement surgery. In May 2009, Bennett sued Wilco front man Jeff Tweedy for breach of contract stemming from his work for Wilco. The suit came less than two weeks after Bennett publicly revealed that he needed hip replacement surgery which he could not afford due to lack of health insurance. Chicago Sun Times

Wilco — (The Album)
From Jambands.com:
Wilco’s next release will simply be titled Wilco (The Album). The eponymous title is an apparent nod to the new composition “Wilco The Song” that the group played on The Colbert Report a few months back. The number is also the first track on Wilco’s new album, which is due in stores this June. Other confirmed tracks include: “Deeper Down,” “One Wing,” “Bull Black Nova,” “You and I,” “You Never Know,” “Country Disappeared,” “Solitaire,” “I’ll Fight,” “Sunny Feeling” and “Everlasting.”
Wilco reveals more details about new album
The next studio effort from Wilco is still untitled and its release date is unconfirmed. However the band’s website has revealed the title of many songs that have been recorded for the disc (even if they may not make it onto the final product). These songs include: “Deeper Down,” “Conscript (aka I’ll Fight),” “One Wing,” “Solitaire,” “Wilco (the song),” “Country Disappeared,” “Everlasting,” “Bull Black Nova,” and “Sonny Feeling.” The site also confirms that Feist contributes lead vocals to the song “You and I.” The disc reportedly will hit in late June, with the band opening a spring tour on April 14 in Milwaukee at the Pabst Theatre. Meanwhile, frontman Jeff Tweedy is Northampton, MA tonight for a solo show at the Calvin Theatre.

Wilco — New Album Spring ’09
Billboard‘s got the skinny:
Wilco hopes to have its seventh studio album out by spring 2009, frontman Jeff Tweedy told Albany, N.Y., radio station WAMC recently.
After opting for a highly performance-oriented recording approach on 2007′s “Sky Blue Sky,” Tweedy says he expects Wilco will “allow ourselves a little bit more leeway in terms of sculpting the sound in the studio and doing overdubs and using the studio as another instrument. Last time around, it was more of a document.”
At recent live shows, Wilco has played two new songs: “One Wing” recalls the melancholy, slowly building “Sky Blue Sky” closer “On and On and On,” while “Sunny Feeling” has a sly main riff in keeping with loose jams from the last album such as “Walken.” Continue reading….
