It's your weekly installment of WOXY-Tube. Feel free to put any I may have missed in the comments.... The Lions Rampant: Shotgun Shells The Lions Rampant - Shotgun Shells Wilco - Walken (Live On SNL) [...]

( YouTube via Stereogum ) Well, not really , of course. MFR's referring to Page's infamous scene in her breakthrough film Hard Candy (oh, that reminds me: spoiler alert! ). This past weekend, however, saw America's favorite uber-verbose sweetheart in a far more genteel role: playing host on venerable late night institution Saturday Night Live . The musical guest for this endeavor was none other than Wilco , who've just come off of the awesome five night stand at Chicago's Riviera . The [...]

The second video from Wilco's SNL performance this past weekend has Jeff Tweedy sporting a white suit a la Flying Burrito Brothers style. Nice one Jeff!

The revolving doors at 30 Rock gave passage this weekend to a varied set of Saturday Night Live guests: pro-Obama rockers Wilco, pro-Clinton politician Hillary Clinton, and pro-lesbian thespian Ellen Page.

Wilco's two songs were, for the most part, free of the mixing problems and cruddy amplification that have plagued so many other bands playing the Grand Central Station-decorated stage. (But surely I'm not the only one who a) thought Jeff [...]
