Wilco plans to tour, tour some more
Wilco recently announced more (and more) tour dates into May, and even as far down the road as August. The band has also been rumored as a headliner for this year's Lollapalooza, speculation lighting up the Internet just last week. The next part of Wilco's tour follows a five-night stint in the Windy City, during which the band played every single song from all six of its studio albums. Cross your fingers that the poor men don't die from exhaustion before they leave the Midwest and head down under to the Land of Oz. Fans of Jeff Tweedy may also... read more

We here at Paste know that you couldn't possibly be tired of year-end "best of" lists. No, forget whatever emotion of extreme exhaustion just hit you upon reading that sentence, it's simple: You just aren't tired of these yet. Take a look to your right at the MOST READ articles side bar. This is your fault! You absolutely loved reading about how Garrison Keillor's son's lacrosse teammate really dug that Shins album, didn't you? That said, we gave you our initial onslaught of "best of" overkill back in November. Remember those greener pastures when Radiohead just had a website and... read more
Found in: Music, NewsWilco confronts its past with new concert dates
In an October interview with Josh Ritter, some dude at the Idaho Statesman referred to Paste as "the niche music magazine for white guys who love Wilco." It's a valid point, really. This publication does, in fact, employ some Caucasian males. And yes, some of them enjoy the musical stylings of Jeff Tweedy and company. Come to think of it, Wilco is a quintessential Paste band: earnest, intelligent, rewarding over the long-term and restlessly creative. So you can bet we're excited about the latest tour from Wilco, one that includes a five-night residency at Chicago's Riviera Theater that will explore... read more
Found in: Music, NewsWilco releasing deluxe Sky Blue Sky
It’s cosmopolitan courtesy, when visiting foreign lands, to do as the natives do. Sometimes, this means eating monkey brains. For Wilco, poised to embark on a half-canceled European tour, it means pulling an Elvis Costello by going deluxe with a special “tour edition” of Sky Blue Sky, the band’s latest release on Nonesuch Records. True, England itself will miss out on the live experience because of “scheduling conflicts,” but the expanded record will be available throughout the UK (and elsewhere in Europe). NME writes that the new Sky Blue Sky is due Nov. 12, and features five bonus tracks –... read more

Found in: Music, NewsWilco adds tour dates with Dr. Dog
Wilco has added many a new date with Dr. Dog to its already extensive tour, seemingly embracing the experimental side of its "experimental alt.rock" categorization. The tour has already carried the band from Iowa to Spain (practically indistinguishable from each other, when you think about it), but the people of Colorado, Texas and Canada need just as much Tweedy and co. as the people of Davenport and Benicàssim. What's an extra state here, an extra country there? The group’s sixth studio album, Sky Blue Sky debuted on Nonesuch Records at number 4 in May on Billboard's Top 200. Meanwhile, Wilco... read more
