The Whole…Lot of Updates

Die Rolling Stone Die! That's German for "The Rolling Stone. The," because it's a German Rolling Stone. See how that worked out?

Man. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I apologize for my inconsistencies with updates, but between moving, setting up internet in a new apartment, problems with said internet set up, and starting classes (and the work that goes into them) I haven’t had a whole lot of time to update the site.

Anyways, as many of you probably already know, much has happened in the world of Wilco lately.

• Last Saturday, September 3rd, Tweedy and the boys were cool enough to let all of us stream The Whole Love in its entirety on the WilcoWorld site. General consensus, at least from The Twitter (that’s what the kids are calling it now), is that it’s everything we could have hoped it would be and more. Don’t believe me? Check out these handy Twee-views (whether I made that word up or not, let’s please never use it again.):

I think it’s their White Album. Weird and pop in the best ways. Jeff’s best singing since Ghost. – @MHarrell

What we’ve all been waiting for. Awesome! - @tclarke34

One Sunday Morning (for Jane Smiley’s Boyfriend) might be the best song Tweedy has ever written. And by might be I mean is. – @AlexMcCourt19

Listening to new Wilco. It’s nice. Some of it has sort of an OK Computer meets ELO vibe. @CYMBLS_EAT_GTRS  (From Cymbals Eat Guitars – an outstanding new band.)

I’ve listened three times now. No holes in this album. Tweedy & Co. are the non-sports equivalent of Mariano Rivera. – @JoeCheckler

Amazing!! Very solid. I felt like there was a little bit of Jay reincarnated. Can’t wait to hear it live in less than 2 weeks! – @sayumsme

New Wilco is excellent! Awesome. – @rpecknold (Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes)

• Also, not surprisingly, Wilco has announced an extension on their North American tour! After traveling overseas, the boys will be back in the States playing 9 more dates in cities from Dallas to…wait for it…Chicago! It’s a good thing, too; now those of us from Chi-town have time to let our forehead bruises heal from constantly bashing our heads against the wall, cursing our Moms for not letting us hitchhike to St. Louis to see the show at The Pageant. What? Don’t give me that look. Like I’m the weirdo. Anyway, here’s what the late fall is going to look like for Wilco (the band):

29 Nov 2011 / Dallas,TX / The Music Hall at Fair Park   | view details

01 Dec 2011 / Austin, TX / Austin City Limits-The Moody Theater   | view details

03 Dec 2011 / Kansas City, MO / The Uptown Theater  | view details

04 Dec 2011 / W. Des Moines, IA / Val Air Ballroom   | view details

06 Dec 2011 / Minneapolis, MN / The State Theatre   | view details

07 Dec 2011 / Minneapolis, MN / The State Theatre  | view details

09 Dec 2011 / Milwaukee, WI / The Riverside Theater  | view details

10 Dec 2011 / Detroit, MI / The Fillmore Detroit  | view details

12 Dec 2011 / Chicago, IL / Civic Opera House   | view details

Details on tickets and pricing will be posted as they become available. Stay tuned!

• Need to brush up on your Wilco history before the release of The Whole Love? Amazon’s got deals on the the entire Wilco catalog, throughout the entire month of September, with some MP3 albums starting at $5. Check it out here.
• Wilco has joined with Farmer Foodshare, Triangle Local Businesses and Ten Farmers Markets in the “Farmer Foodshare Challenge.” Read about it here.
• Some awesome videos for new tunes have surfaced

Wilco - I Love my Label (Live in Studio)

Jeff Tweedy -  Dawned On Me (Acoustic version of song on The Whole Love)

**UPDATE: NEW MUSIC VIDEO ALERT! In characteristically surprising fashion, the boys have released a video for Born Alone, a track off The Whole Love today. Check it out!

• Also, there’s this. If this video signifies the end of the world, I think I can die happy. Don’t ask, just watch.

Jeff Tweedy - I Gotta Feeling (At Dan Sinker’s “The Fucking Epic Twitter Quest of Mayor Emanuel,”  book launch party, September 6)

What more could one ask for? Jeff Tweedy reciting the lyrics to My Humps, William S. Burroughs-style, you say? Good call.

Jeff Tweedy – My Humps

In case you couldn’t get enough (and who can?) Tweedy-Peas covers, here’s another!

Jeff Tweedy – Rock That Body

Can somebody please get Tweedy to play “TiK ToK” Next? Maybe get Nels to lay down some tasty licks on the Theremin in the background?

• For those of you who missed the stream on Saturday (what were you busy doing, working?), the songs from The Whole Love have been uploaded to YouTube. Check ‘em all out here while you can, before Jeff Tweedy comes to your house and kicks you in the head.

Well, I suppose that about wraps ‘er all up for now. I’ll keep you posted with any new info on tour dates, etc, as they become available.

By the way, does anyone have a favorite song off of The Whole Love so far? For my money (which I spent on the pre-order), Art of Almost is quite an achievement.

The Mini Tweedy Feed

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

Want to be jealous? Here’s the Setlist from last Sunday’s Hawaii show (thanks to I got your setlist right here…)

Spiders (Kidsmoke)
Remember The Mountain Bed
One Wing
You And I
I Am Trying to Break Your Heart
Muzzle Of Bees
Via Chicago
Hummingbird
Dawned On Me
You Are Not Alone
Someday, Some Morning, Sometime
Not For The Season
New Madrid
So Much Wine [The Handsome Family]
Jesus, etc.
I’m Always In Love
I’m The Man Who Loves You
A Shot in the Arm
——————————-
Born Alone (w/Pat Sansone on acoustic guitar and backing vocals)
Open Your Mind (w/Pat Sansone on acoustic guitar and backing vocals)
California Stars (w/Pat Sansone on acoustic guitar and backing vocals)
Be Patient With Me (w/Pat Sansone on acoustic guitar and backing vocals)
The Late Greats (w/Pat Sansone on acoustic guitar and backing vocals)
Heavy Metal Drummer (w/Pat Sansone on acosutic guitar and backing vocals)
——————————-
Walken (performed at edge of stage w/o PA system) – Chcek out the video below!

Jeff Tweedy – Walken Live at the Hawaii Theater

Jeff Tweedy – Banter + Hummingbird

Jeff Tweedy - Via Chicago

*Note – Apparently, Pat Sansone also opened for Tweedy in a rare solo acoustic performance. Here’s the setlist:

Silence
Every Day
Tell Me What You Want
The Answer
Don’t Forget Me
Even Better [Mark Mulcahy]
This Will Fall Away
Tuesday Morning
The Swallows Of London Town
You And Your Sister [Chris Bell]

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 Feed I 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!

Pre-order The Whole Love Now!

The day of judgement is finally here... because I just spent my last 40 bucks.

Woah. I knew something important was happening today. Was it the Obama/Boehner debate? No, definitely not. Was it the end of the NFL lock-out? Nope, that was yesterday. The moon landing? No, that was 40 years ago.

Actually, today is arguably much more important than all those events combined: Today, July 26th, is the fist official pre-order date for The Whole Love!

I already know the answer to your question; yes, it glows in the dark.

For those of you who are out of the loop, The Whole Love is Wilco’s forthcoming eighth (or ninth, depending on your appreciation of live albums) full-length album, set for a September 27th release.

You can pre-order the album here, in addition to many other goodies and odds-and-ends in bundles. The album is available in 180 gram double gatefold vinyl, cd, deluxe cd box & digital.

For anyone hmm-ing and haw-ing about pre-ordering the album, I have seven words for you, six of which are hyphenated: “Glow-in-the-dark Wilco yo-yo.” Did that get your attention? It should have.

This is a beautiful image to wake up seeing in the morning.

In addition to the album, pre-orderers will also get:

• an instant Mp3 download of the album track I Might
• a free Mp3 download of the entire album on release day (September 27)
• entry to  weekly drawings (including signed albums, a completely restored 1955 single speed bicycle – photos HERE, tickets to sold out shows, a Polaroid camera and photos taken by the band, and more.
• See a full list of prizes HERE
• Also, here’s a glow-in-the-dark Wilco yo-yo

Hurry up, though, you slackers. The sooner you order, the better chance you have to win one of the drawings. Did I mention the glow-in-the-dark Wilco yo-yo? Well it exists. and I’m getting one.

*You can also order directly from Anti- records here: less goodies, but cheaper shipping.

* For you digital nerds (just kidding, c’mon), you can also buy The Whole Love off iTunes here

Can’t wait to hear some of the latest tune-skis? Yes I just used the word “tune-skis.” Deal with it. And listen to Wilco’s latest tunes here. Also, don’t forget to check around the site for free downloads and streaming tracks. Think of it as an Easter egg hunt. For adults. Who don’t care about Easter anymore. And like Wilco.

Latest Tour News UPDATED 8/1

I Might need to start making tour update posts every week

Woah. That was fast. With Wednesday and Thursday’s presales behind us, many of us scrambled to get tickets for Wilco’s upcoming The Whole Love tour yesterday when they went on sale to the general public. Since then, a few shows have sold out, a show has been added, and cries of “Whyyy?” from Chicago were audible throughout the country due to the loss of alternative rock radio station Q101, and there still not being a Wilco show scheduled for the fall.

There may be hope, though, for those of us without a fall Wilco show to look forward to. Some shows have sold out too damn fast (the St. Louis show at the Peabody Opera house sold out in 25 minutes!). As a result, Wilco has added a second show in New York at Summerstage on 9/23, and I’m hoping more dates will be added soon.

*Update: Both New York City shows have been sold out as of 7/22

*Update: Both Nashville shows have sold out as of 8/1

*Update: For the Madison, WI show on Oct. 5 – A select few, limited view seats have opened up for the Madison show on Oct 5th.
These tickets are not available online, you can purchase via box office or inquire by phone (608.258.4141)

If any new dates are added, I’ll post info about them (I’ll steal info) as soon as I can. For now, here are the remaining tour dates (prices don’t include fees) with tickets still available. I’ve whined about there being no Chicago show enough. What dates would you guys (and girls) like to see added? Or are you the kind of over-achievers that have tickets already?

More Wilco Tour Updates UPDATED 7/15

Even Barack Obama's pleading Chicago's case for a Wilco show. "C'mon!" he argued. "Even Jolie Holland played here!"

Wilco’s unnamed (I’m still for “The Whole Tour”) North American tour is creeping up on us with each passing day. Between reading about Solid Sound Fest for the hundredth time and wishing we were there, listening to I Might and comparing it to the tunes gracing the Summerteeth and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot albums, and checking in on frontman Jeff Tweedy, Wilco fans have really been looking forward to two major things in the near future:

1. The new album, which won’t be released until September 27th (unless it’s leaked, in which case I’ll use one my six free chances to get away with downloading it). And

2. The tour.

Because we’ll have to make due with the tunes we’ve been provided with until the new album drops, many of us (especially those of us in Chicago, Wilco’s home city) are wondering, “When the hell can I see a live Wilco show again?” Well it looks like our prayers may be answered. *Update: Well, the presales are over now. Yeah, I couldn’t get in on it either. There may still be hope for some of us, though: check below for the times and dates tickets go on sale to the public.
