More Fuji Rock videos have surfaced. Now you can really regret not moving to Japan when you had the chance.
Missed Wilco’s set at the Fuji Rock Fest July 31st? Me too. I’m totally bummed about it. Or at least I would be if I couldn’t live vicariously through those who were there with more of these excellent videos!

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

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!
