Every Wilco side project has its own personality. On Fillmore – a project featuring drummer Glenn Kotche and St. Louis musician Darin Gray – is adventurous and dense, full of found sounds and evocative instrumentals. Nels Cline’s side work is also more intricate and ornate; his whirling-dervish, effects-laden guitar style runs wild and experimental when […]

Good Listening: Wilco – Live at The Troubadour – 11/12/96
image courtesy of Daytrotter Sunday night as I was getting ready to head down to the radio station, I saw a Facebook message with the news that former Wilco multi-instrumentalist Jay Bennett had passed away.

Record Store Day is TOMORROW!
It’s been a fun week! Wednesday night, I went to the Rock Hall with my pals D.X. Ferris from Scene Magazine, Sirius XM personality Dusty Street, and Pale Hollow drummer Nick Perry, for an evening of Q&A with drummer Joe Vitale about his book Backstage Pass. If the goal is to leave ’em wanting more, […]

Addicted to Vinyl is heading to Bonnaroo!
Okay you’re right, I’m not heading there quite yet. It’s a little bit early to leave now, and I do agree completely with you about that. Plus, I still don’t know how to drive stick, so I have to wait for Brian to pick me up. And looking at the calendar, I guess that isn’t […]
Today’s scheduled activities
Going to Detroit to see Neil Young and Wilco at the Palace of Auburn Hills. I got a record company download of Neil’s new Sugar Mountain archival release that I’m not taking with me, but it will make for some good listening when I get back. It’s looking like we hopefully got most of the […]
Blue Rodeo Week: T is for The Days in Between
I’ve decided that I’m going to do a full-on “Blue Rodeo Week” to help promote the band’s brief run of U.S. shows next week, including the show that I will be attending in Detroit. Blue Rodeo Week is going to be kind of like Shark Week, although you’re really going to have to squint to […]
