Madge played her halftime show at the Indianapolis home that Peyton Manning built for this year's Super Bowl. The hype machine that has been working around the clock (see collabos with M.I.A. and Minaj) in support of the new release from the Material Girl to be titled, "MDNA," reached it's pinnacle last night with a medley of treasured hits from the iconic superstar. But it looks like M.I.A. single-handedly highjacked the halftime show last night with her gratuitous crotch shot and lewd gesture to America by flipping "us" the bird. Aside from that slight hiccup and [...]

• Bon Iver - Blood Bank

With special guest Nick Lowe.

One of the greatest pop songs played by one of the greatest modern American bands fronted by the Jesus of Cool himself, Nick Lowe. Brings a tear to the eye, don't it? Find it on the new Wilco iTunes Sessions album . Out now, pop pickers. Lest we forget, here's Nick with Billy, Dave and Terry the first time around .

Wilco returns to 'Austin City Limits' for its fourth appearance. (Photo courtesy of Scott Newton/KRLU) "When people ask what kind of music 'Austin City Limits' stands for," executive producer Terry Lickona says, " there's one band that sums it up better than any other –Wilco!" Airing this Saturday, Feb. 4, this is the fourth appearance of this veteran modern rock band on the TV show. Concentrating on its latest release The Whole Love , the Chicago sextet puts such stellar tracks as "Art of Almost," "One Wing" and "Dawned [...]

Wilco and Nick Lowe sure have been spending a lot of time together. We already knew that they joined forces ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/media /nick-lowe-wilco/cruel-to-be-k ind-itunes-session-video/60754 /

Wikipedia Folks of a certain age got an unexpected thrill this past Thursday night when on Parks & Recreation - assuming they were home watching television (or torrenting it for later) - Adam Scott showed up on their screens wearing a Letters To Cleo t-shirt. LTC were never amongst the A-list of the '90s college rock scene, or even the '90s Boston college rock scene, but they held a special place in the hearts of fans of scrappy power pop and to see them getting name-checked out of the [...]

• Letters To Cleo - Cruel To Be Kind

There's something special about live music. But when you're brought into a musician's preparation process prior to his or her show, it's another level of extraordinary. It's like you were personally invited and led by the hand to a some intimate thing you weren't supposed to be a part of. Here's Wilco , Nick Lowe , and gospel singer Mavis Staples rehearsing "The Weight" (originally by The Band) in the make-up room back in December at the Civic Opera House in Chicago.

Well this is rather special. Whilst at The Chicago Opera House in December last year, Wilco , Nick Lowe & Mavis Staples had a little rehearsal backstage in the dressing room and someone ( Zoran Orlic) kindly filmed it resulting in a hair-raising performance that's quite simply mind blowing. They perform The Band's track "The Weight" complete with bass, electric and acoustic guitar, keys. Plus there's more soul in that room than many of us can hope to ever possess. Check it out and I challenge you to not watch this multiple times.

As 2011 has come to an end, we are taking a look back at some of our favorite posts of the year by our guest editors. Bird Of Youth has no business being this good. Really. If writing and recording a really beautiful album was as easy as Beth Wawerna and her crew made it [...]

Wilco, Nick Lowe and Mavis Staples - "The Weight" // Having flashbacks of The Last Waltz . - MW

I know I rip on Wilco a lot, but this is pretty damn good. Mavis Staples leads Nick Lowe and Wilco in their rendition of The Band's classic "The Weight" backstage at the Civic Opera House in Chicago in December 2011. Also watch the killer original from the best concert film of all time, 1973's The Last Waltz . A young Mavis Staples wails out the second verse. I love the comment on the youtube page that says, "Rick Danko [...]

Take a load off.

After a great rundown of Wilco's Amazing Shrinking Concert from The Steam Engine a few weeks ago, I noticed an encore performance of The Weigh featuring Mavis Staples and Nick Lowe. After listening to this take upwards of 10 times, a video of the gang rehearsing the performance popped up online. The result is a full on joy, as it kept a smile on my face throughout. It's funny - it seems like every time Jeff Tweedy jokingly recites a rap song on stage , or has his children make a juvenile one off video [...]

"The Weight" by The Band is one of those songs that's been around so long that it's taken for granted. There is the recorded version on Music From Big Pink , and everyone and his mom has recorded it. But everyone in the music-sphere has been aflutter about it all over again today, thanks to a rehearsal video shot by Illinois photographer/videographer Zoran Orlic . Rehearsing prior to a Wilco and Nick Lowe show last month at the Civic Opera House in Chicago, the video, that includes Wilco, Lowe, and [...]

O Wilco já começou o ano de 2012 mostrando suas excelentes parcerias, sem idade mínima ou máxima. No mesmo dia, os fãs da banda norte-americana ganharam dois novos vídeos para conferir e compartilhar. O primeiro é um clipe para a canção Whole Love , com um nome ilustre assinando sua direção. Não, não é nenhum cineasta premiado, é Spencer Tweedy , filho do vocalista Jeff e colega de banda de seu próprio pai no "projeto" The Racoonists , que dirige aqui um vídeo caseiro com a participação de seu [...]

Back on 12/12, I had the pleasure of catching Wilco at the Civic Opera House. Towards the end of this amazing show, Nick Lowe and Mavis Staples joined the boys on stage. They closed with The Weight. Here is their rehearsal. I love Tweedy's comment at the end, "That will sound good." Tweet

Wilco kicked off a week full of performances in Chicago with a big show at the Civic Opera House Monday night. Playing almost 30 songs, the band ran through its catalog from A.M. to its newest album, The Whole Love . The band drew heavily from both The Whole Love and the classic Yankee Hotel Foxtrot , playing more than half the songs off each album. (Only one song from the brilliant Summerteeth was played - Shot in the Arm .) The new songs worked their way into the set seamlessly alongside Wilco [...]
