“I Love My Label”, The B-Side to “I Might”, and cover of a Nick Lowe song, is awesome as well.
The Whole Love, Wilco’s forthcoming album, comes out September 27.
You can pre-order it and win a chance to get a bunch of awesome stuff.
Wilco is touring in North America and overseas this fall.
Wilco released this trailer for The Whole Love in which they play a segment from “Almost”, a new track.
It is awesome.

These are songs that Wilco has covered, not the other way around. Nevertheless, I couldn’t not use this photo when I found it.
You may remember a few months ago when I posted 6 covers by and of Wilco. You may not. Either way, I recently stumbled onto some other excellent covers that Wilco has done, and felt I would be remiss (I’m pretty sure I’m using that correctly, right? I just remember my English teacher saying it a lot, and thought it worked well here) not to share them with you all. Watch ‘em, love ‘em, hate ‘em, vote for ‘em below:
*Note: some of these may be repeats from the previous ‘covers’ post, but that’s because they were too good to pass up. Tweedy doing Single Ladies? C’mon!

It’s for a very cool cause, one that I think all of us can get behind (especially because it involves excellent free music!):
From the ANTI- site:
“The 170 Million Americans for Public Broadcasting campaign is a collaboration of public radio and television stations, national organizations, producers, viewers and listeners throughout the country who understand the critical need for a strong public media in the United States.”… “Public broadcasting offers millions of hours of free music, arts and cultural programming to American audiences, thanks in part to federal funding. From national music programs such as public television’s Austin City Limits and public radio’s Mountain Stage to the diverse local programming on public radio music stations throughout the country, public broadcasting is a vital part of our nation’s musical landscape. “
Raise Your Voice is the title of the compilation, and features music from ANTI- artists like Tom Waits, Booker T Jones, Tinariwen (playing with Nels Cline of Wilco, in addition to Kyp Malone and Tunde Adebimpe of TV on The Radio), Wilco (0bviously) and, well why don’t I just show you the track list so you can kick yourself for not having downloaded it already:

The Tweedy/Tweedy and sons/Deerhoof collaboration 7" drops 10/11/11
A lot has been happening for Jeff Tweedy lately. Yesterday, he performed a solo show in Honolulu, Hawaii for his first ever performance in the state. Reviews for the performance look to have been generally (as expected) pretty great.
Tweedy showed why he’s always been considered to be a remarkably distinct singer and guitarist. The man knows how to hold his audience’s rapt attention. And Tweedy didn’t start off easy early on, with his second song being the long tale of “Remember the Mountain Bed,” originally from the “Mermaid Avenue” project Wilco did with English folksinger Billy Bragg. The captivating, imagistic lyrics of folk icon Woody Guthrie came alive, thanks the Tweedy melody that was wrapped around it. – HonoluluPulse.com

Here are a few videos from what looks and sounds to have been an excellent set:
Pat Sansone – Unknown Song (one of the songs listed above that’s not The Answer or Even Better)
Pat Sansone – The Answer
There is also some more big news from the world of Tweedy. In last month’s Tweedy FeedI mentioned Jeff’s collaboration with Deerhoof as well as his two sons in Deerhoof’s split 7″ series. Since then, many of us have been wondering exactly how such a collaboration would sound. Well we need wonder no more.
The Raccoonists – Own It
That’s Jeff Tweedy with his two sons, Spencer and Sam, in his latest side project “The Raccoonists.” It’s pretty crazy, the beginning almost like something out of Eraserhead, yet still very cool, and very rockin’. The A-side of the Deerhoof-Tweedy collaboration, Behold a Raccoon in the Darkness, features Tweedy singing over the instrumental part of Deerhoof’s “Behold a Marvel in the Darkness.” I have two words describe it: awesome.
Check out both sides of the single here, and pre-order it on pink clear vinyl here!
Some more sights and sounds from Solid Sound to brighten your (probably) dreary day.
