Wilco reveals album title, release date
According to a report on PitchforkMedia.com, Jeff Tweedy announced during a solo show in Nashville Wednesday evening that Sky Blue Sky, Wilco’s much-anticipated follow-up to 2004’s A Ghost Is Born, will hit stores May 15 courtesy of Nonesuch Records. Tweedy will finish up his solo tour at the end of the month. At least for the time being, the only upcoming Wilco shows are scheduled for three days in Australia during mid-April, but that leaves an awfully long break before then. Stay tuned for up-to-date touring plans. Related links: Wilco World Wilco on MySpace ... read more

The “Wired Nextfest” kicked off last night in Chicago with a Jeff Tweedy-curated concert at the Vic Theatre featuring quirky songstress Joanna Newsom and Americana duo The Handsome Family. “Honestly, I had a lot of trouble conjuring up a rose-hued vision of our collective tomorrows,” said Wilco frontman Tweedy. “Instead, I … focused my attention on music with the kind of sturdiness and self-sufficiency the post-apocalyptic lifestyle I’m anticipating might require. The kinds of artists making the kinds of music that won’t be interrupted or even miss a beat when the power goes out. The kind that would be fleet-footed... read more
