Solid Sound Fest ended June 26th, but that shouldn't stop us from living vicariously through videos & photos. Also, look at that bird! It's playing the guitar! How 'bout that!
While you’re registering for presales and waiting for tickets to go on sale for Wilco’s fall tour (or loudly sobbing in your shower wearing nothing but a pair of cutoff jeans because the tickets you wanted sold out; I know I am), why not take a gander at some of these photos and videos from 2011’s Solid Sound Festival, featuring performances from cream-of-the-crop artists from around the music, art and comedy worlds? Yeah, that was a long sentence. Yes, it’s right. No, don’t spell check it.
Here’s a few more videos of performances from Solid Sound Fest, for your listening (and watching) pleasure:
Jeff Tweedy – Sunken Treasure
Wilco – Can’t Stand It
Liam Finn – Better To Be
Thurston Moore (of Sonic Youth) – July (?)
Wilco Feat. Liam Finn – You Never Know
Jamie Lidell – The Ring
Nels Cline & Thurston Moore – Pillow Wand
Wilco – Reservations (particularly beautiful version)
Glenn Kotche and Nels Cline – The inGLENNtions (some crazy community xylophonin’ goin’ on)
John Hodgeman and Eugene Mirman – Hug (featuring reluctant dude)
Wilco – Radio Cure (incredibly awesome: the PA cuts out, and the audience finishes the song)

HAHAHAHA! I love the Tobias Funke reference!!
on a more related note, I never knew Wilco collaborated with Liam Finn. sweet.
I totally agree; the Wilco/Finn collaboration is awesome. Actually, both Finn brothers (Liam, Neil and Tim) collaborated with Jeff Tweedy, Glenn Kotche, John Stirratt and Pat Sansone of Wilco, KT Tunstall, Johnny Marr, and a bunch of other artists in a group called “7 Worlds Collide” on the album, “The Sun Came Out,” which I think is where “You Never Know” made its debut. It’s pretty sweet if you get a chance to check it out. I posted a few of the 7 Worlds Collide videos in the “6 Wilco Covers” story a week or so back, too.
I’ve been trying to slip an “Analrapist” joke in here somewhere, but it doesn’t seem to fit. Wait. Was that one?
