Wilco and White Denim treat a sold-out Seattle crowd well.

Wilco gives an ecstatic sold out crowd in Seattle The Whole Love.

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 [...]

In a musical scene that is currently dominated by debut albums, buzz bands, and the blogosphere, it is altogether refreshing to see an established band like Wilco thrive. I don't really know why, but to hear a band 16 years on release an album as driving and energetic as their early records is as rewarding [...]

"Dawned on me" es el tema extraído de The Whole Love , octavo álbum de Wilco (y ahora nominado al Grammy) , y está estrenando un video que consiste de una animación dirigida por Darren Romanelli editada en blanco y negro. La banda liderada por Jeff Tweedy aparece tocando desde un puerto marítimo a lado de nada más y nada menos que Popeye . Para aquellos nostálgicos de este cómic creado en los años 20 y seguidores del famoso marinero fanático de las espinacas, en el video aparecen Brutus [...]

It's a mighty good Monday (if you ignore the weather): ► At the Satellite, where Chasing Kings' residency roars into its fourth week, U.K. quartet the Chevin makes its L.A. debut. That's the video for the title track from the West Yorkshire lads' 2011 EP, "Champion," above. Tonight's bonus — you also gets sets from Nightmare & the Cat and the Californian . ► Koga, featuring the solo material of Evan Koga (formerly of the band Chief), debuts at the Bootleg Theater as part of the [...]

How often does something like this happen? The track streaming above is basically Wilco's Jeff Tweedy singing over the instrumental to the Deerhoof track "Behold a Marvel in the Darkness," which comes from Deerhoof's latest album, Deerhoof vs. Evil . Now all we need is to get Satomi over a few tracks on the Whole Love . Then we'll be all set!

Spencer Tweedy ha sido el elegido para protagonizar el nuevo vídeo de Wilco. No, no nos hemos confundido, ni Jeff Tweedy ha cambiado de nombre, sino que ha decidido meter a su hijo de lleno en "Whole Love" , el tema que da nombre al último trabajo de la banda. Se trata de un vídeo oficial que ya puede encontrarse en los diversos puntos de distribución y de vídeo en streaming de la red, en el que se nos presenta un tema muy disfrutable y un metraje que también lo [...]

If you had one wish and that one wish was restricted to just picking a new dad, I might consider picking Jeff Tweedy. But in the end I would probably go with Warren Buffet or someone equally as rich, then just pay Jeff Tweedy to hang out with me and tell me jokes. I will ask him next month (when Wilco plays in Tempe) how much he is going to charge me per hour, so as soon as I get that wish I am good to go. The reason I bring this up is because this video [...]

Um presente de Natal, chegando para nós via Chicago. O Wilco fez cinco (CINCO) shows consecutivos na cidade-sede do grupo, mas não pense que só os moradores do noroeste norte-americano levaram a melhor nessa celebração de Tweedy e cia.. No site oficial do grupo , o Wilco acaba de liberar o áudio completo da primeira das cinco apresentações, realizada na Civic Opera, para streaming. O show conta com uma setlist quase que impecável, participações especiais de Nick Lowe e Mavis Staples e uma versão natalina de Outtasite (Outta [...]

Monday Afternoon Quick Fix runs every Monday afternoon to showcase the best of Chicago music news, views and stories from around the interwebs and blogosphere that we might have missed. • The Tribune's Bob Gendron attended this weekend's sold-out Morrissey show at the Congress and was particularly struck by the British singer's flair for the dramatic. • Gapers Block captured some excellent photos from The Joy Formidable's appearance at the Metro last Wednesday night. • Time Out Chicago's music editors Brent DiCrescenzo and Areif Sless-Kitain [...]

"You don't need a weatherman To know which way the wind blows" Wilco's Jeff Tweedy stops by the hometown television station to talk a little hirsute weather.

Filed under: News Courtesy of WGN Jeff Tweedy in an renaissance man of sorts. Apart from looking like a lovable dog and rocking like nobody's business, the man has also ventured into beer brewing, bicycle making and has even inspired a sandwich shop. Now ladies and germs, put your hands together for Jeff Tweedy: Meteorologist. The Wilco frontman swung by Chicago's WGN Morning News show this morning to read the seven-day weather [...]

It's Wilco homecoming week in Chicago--the group has played a series of shows in their 'hood, ending with the 18th's gig at Lincoln Hall. This morning, however, it seems that frontman Jeff Tweedy decided to take his career in a different direction: weather reporting. See the original clip on WGNtv.com , or watch the video below. This may be the most awkward thing you see all day.

Watch Tweedy awkwardly tell Chicago that things could be worse.

I don't know what's better, Jeff Tweedy showing up on WGN Chicago for the weather or that each day looks like tall-boy beer cans . Either way, what a way to start the morning. Even better than Spectreman . Thanks for the tip/pic, Matt Vogel ! Wilco "Dawned on Me" from The Whole Love [ BUY ] • • • • [...]

Rosana Jatobá, abra caminho para a mais nova revelação no mundo da meteorologia. Como o mercado de trabalho não está fácil para ninguém, Jeff Tweedy resolveu expandir seus horizontes e tentar uma vaga na equipe de Previsão do Tempo da WGN, emissora local de TV da sede oficial do Wilco , a cidade de Chicago. Tweedy , descrito pelo verdadeiro homem do tempo do programa de TV WGN Morning News como "peludo", não mostrou muita habilidade em sua nova função, dizendo que uma previsão de 7 dias era otimista demais, e que tudo parecia que poderia [...]

No we're really not joking, and yes, like you, we wondered whether Bizarro World had finally come to pass. Jeff Tweedy of Wilco got his meteorological feet wet this morning at WGN , a Chicago-based news station, and delivered the 7-day forecast for the Windy City. "This is how it looks...You can read...I hope," to the laughter throughout the studio. We wouldn't count on Tweedy, "the hairy guy from Wilco," giving up his guitar for a green screen and weather patterns just yet. You can see the clip here [...]

This has to be one of the funnier/goofier moments of Jeff Tweedy's career, both as a solo artist and as ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ jeff-tweedy-reports-on-the-wea ther-for-wgn/59802/

During Wilco's recent visit to Chicago's WGN-TV, the band performed "Dawned On Me" and "Whole Love," and as a special bonus, frontman Jeff Tweedy stepped out in front of the greenscreen to help deliver weather news and to gently send up the entire enterprise of delivering weather news. He is a funny person, and there should always be more funny people on TV. Watch the extremely entertaining clip at the Chicago Tribute website .
