The 15 Best (Non-Wilco) Jeff Tweedy Songs

The 15 Best (Non-Wilco) Jeff Tweedy Songs It’s been over a year since we’ve heard anything new from Wilco, but frontman Jeff Tweedy has a knack for finding other ways to keep his name in the news. The Chicago-bred singer-songwriter is  currently preparing for the third Solid Sound Festival , set to touch down at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art this June, with performances by Neko Case, Yo La Tengo, Reggie Watts, and more. He's also kept busy by handling production on Low’s tenth studio LP,  The Invisible Way , which hit stores earlier this week. Quality aside, it serves as the [...]

5 Random Songs (1/8/13)

Wolf Parade - You Are a Runner and I Am My Father's Son
Round 2 of "5 Random Songs" I was in the gym the other day and threw my iPod on full random. All 12,000+ songs randomly jarbled together coming at me like a shit cannon. As someone who's worked in music for a long time I have tons of albums I've never listened to that random people have given me to listen to. At one point I put everything on my iPod. That is until it filled up. It's been a

These Twin City kisses :: A Minneapolis Mixtape

These Twin City kisses :: A Minneapolis Mixtape Maybe everybody else who wasn't raised in far coast oblivion already knows this but: HEY YOU GUYS. MINNEAPOLIS HAS A LOT OF REALLY GREAT MUSIC. Tomorrow afternoon when I board a plane to Minneapolis, I'll be streaming the sounds of the Twin Cities in through my earbuds, and enjoying myself immensely. Minneapolis is a city that I've tremendously liked on the handful of occasions that work has taken me to its shores in the last few years. In addition to a vibrant arts scene, I've always stayed in places right along the Mississippi River, borrowing bikes from the [...]

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy Golden Smog’s “Pecan Pie” This is probably one of my favorite semi-Thanksgiving-related or dessert-related tunes out there. From Golden Smog’s 1995 debut LP, Down by the Old Mainstream , it’s the mouthwatering song “Pecan Pie,” complete with the stage banter king himself on lead vocals.

All Apologies: Glad and Sorry

All Apologies: Glad and Sorry Faces: Glad and Sorry [ purchase ] "Glad and Sorry" is a bittersweet Ronnie Lane song from the last Faces album, Ooh La La . It's one of those songs that works better when you don't try to analyze it. It's all about the performance. You pick up the vibe from the music, and maybe a few words resonate, but that's all you need to know. [...]

He’s usually really wired on that cheap trucker speed

He’s usually really wired on that cheap trucker speed Back in my late teens and early twenties I had a particular fondness for White Crosses, the little bronchodilater pills that one could by legally at gas stations all over the country. They were ephedrine tablets, designed for folks with asthma but used with great gusto by dieters and for recreational purposed. And also by long haul drivers nationwide, which is how they got their other common nickname - trucker speed. I used to indulge on long road trips. They were great for driving, kept you alert and entertained while undertaking the innately dull task of racing down the [...]

Cinema Sounds: Clerks Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Cinema Sounds: Clerks Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Here we are, back at 1994 when the punk was punk and the grunge was grungy. The mid '90s was a hell of a time for film soundtracks to be perfectly honest. Every musical genre was retrofitted to movies, seamlessly holding them together, sometimes by a thin stream of consciousness ( Lost Highway ), or other times when the film enhanced the sounds of a depicted era ( Singles , The Crow ). Somewhere in the shuffle of this decade between hair bands and nu-metal, a movie came around that not so much defined a generation but instead became [...]

David Bowie, SoundCloud, and Lynhurst

On days when I'm particularly uninspired by the day's findings, I just go and grab something nostalgic.  So here it is, good ole' Golden Smog when I was 16. Dirt: Magic Johnson: 'Michael [...]

get your ya-ya's out

Watching the brief section of the Wilco tour film Ashes of American Flags shown on UK TV the other night raised some interesting questions. How drunk do you have to get in order to throw your underwear at Jeff Tweedy? Don't get me wrong, Mr Tweedy has written and co-written many of my favourite songs of the last almost two decades and he has a beautiful cracked voice. But seriously . Why can't all gigs be by Wilco ? They're a fantastic live band, [...]

Ghosts

Ghosts I had bought a couple bags of dope when I left jail. Traded my arrest warrant for a pack of cigarettes. But I didn't do them right away. I went to the meeting. After I shared my tale, a couple fellows told me they were looking for a roommate that could stay clean. It would help them. They invited me back to the apartment that night. We talked for hours, then we all turned in for the night. Within the hour, I walked away from [...]
