Found in: Music, FeaturesJeff Tweedy Comments on His Internet Commenters
Like any other rock band making music today, Wilco has to deal with some haters on the internet. But not many of those bands get the chance to address the feedback. When Jeff Tweedy and Co. stopped by their hometown of Chicago for a two-night stand, The Onion’s A.V. Club decided to give Tweedy a forum.

Found in: Music, NewsStep Out Into The Light: Fourteen Covers Of Daniel Johnston's "True Love Will Find You In The End"

I cycled through endless pairs of $10 Target earbuds until Santa Claus brought me a half-decent pair of Bose headphones a few years back, my iPod dock of choice was purchased at a store called Linens & Things, and I don't know my treble from a hole in the ground. Needless to say, I am not an audiophile. So why am I so transfixed by the Little Horn Speakers unveiled this week by Chicago-based custom guitar and amp shop Specimen? Well, just look at them. They're gorgeous.... read more

Before countless singer-songwriters from Bob Dylan to Wilco and Feist covered his work, Woody Guthrie's songs stood alone, a massive repertoire crucial to the development of modern American music. Now, 54 Guthrie songs recorded in the 1940s have been rescued from storage in a Brooklyn basement and remastered across four discs for the box set My Dusty Road, out today.... read more
