jeff tweedy live at harper college 3/5/99 part 2
Posted by matt on Thursday, December 1st, 2011
Part two of the Jeff Tweedy solo show from Harper College in 1999. Part one is here.
Some great stuff. “Hoodoo Voodoo” as played here is as good as any other version I’ve ever heard. The “Red Eyed Blue/I Got You” is another highlight.
Enjoy.
jeff tweedy live at harper college 3/5/99 part 1

One of my all-time favorite live recordings. Part one of two. Look for the second half later this week.
Had this show for almost 10 years now and I still listen to it regularly. If I was ever in the highly unlikely situation of being forced to listen to only one Jeff Tweedy/Wilco recording for the rest of my life, there’s a legitimate chance this would be it with Being There coming in a very close second.
The quality of the recording is top shelf and the set couldnt be better for the time. Show includes tracks from all of the Wilco albums at the time, as well as a couple Tupelo songs.
Enjoy.

blow up wilco, and start anew tweedy, i beg of you. ok, you can keep john and glenn, but the other three dudes gotta go. if you were to tell me back in 94/95 that in 2011 i would no longer give a shit about wilco, i would have slapped ya in the face and kicked in the balls, or vagina. sadly, its gotten to that point though. still with that said, i dont think there was a finer band on the planet than said band from their inception till whenever the hell a ghost was born was released. the whole love, i will admit, is better than their last two, but still pretty forgettable. oh, and for the record, regarding this matter, there is no budging or hemming and hawing, so hold your brea jeff we can still be best friends, please come back…

yankee hotel foxtrot demos
Posted by doubter on Wednesday, July 20th, 2011
top of the morning! during my trip to chicago i found myself listening to yankee hotel foxtrot over and over and over. i dont know if it was just being back in chicago that lead me to listen to it, or just that i hadnt listened to its entirety in a while. probably was a combo of both. anyway, these have been splattered across the internets for what 10 years now? but i figured i would post em just in case you missed out in the past. btw, while the cover says engineer demos, the batch that i have call this collection something different and of course i cant remember what. when i get home ill check on what they’re labeled. either way, enjoy…

last night i got to watching i am trying to break your heart and got a little emotional over the awesomeness that wilco once was. ive said it before, that period or at least the period tween being there and yankee hotel foxtrot, i dont think there was a better band on the planet. there are a lot of wilco apologists at this point, and even though i may not be one of em, i still know they/he has the talent to bring it all back. anyway, this is one of my favorite wilco related things ever.

nels cline’s “dont threaten me with your threats”
Posted by doubter on Thursday, October 14th, 2010
well, what do we have here? the man, nels cline, that single handedly destroyed wilco for me. sure, he’s a phenomenal player and brings a different element to wilco, live, but pretty much since his joining the band the wilco i love(d) is dead. i can appreciate change, but this change has not been for the better, not by a country mile. so, mr cline has a new record out called dirty baby in which he and poet/producer david breskin take on ed ruscha’s “censor strip” paintings. david over at large hearted boy has the full run down on everything this collaboration entails, which is quite a bit. apparently this was released just this past tuesday.
