Wilco Learning How to Die Wilco learning how to die Continue Intimate story of one of the great American bands of our time, the creators of the controversial masterpiece Yankee Hotel Foxtrot When alt-country heroes-turned-rock iconoclasts Wilco handed over their fourth album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, the band's label, Reprise, a division of Warner Brothers, fans were eagerly awaiting the release of yet another complex, genre-based departure from their previous work. The band sought to build on previous sales and critical acclaim with its most daring and most ambitious album yet, but instead encouraged skittish Reprise execs to make the recording more radio friendly. When Wilco didn't give, they found themselves without a label. Instead, they used the Internet to present the album to their fans, and eventually sold the record to Nonesuch, another Warner division. Wilko was acquitted when the album debuted at number 13 on the Billboard charts and posted the band's strongest sales to date. Wilco: Learning To Die traces the band's history to its deepest origins in southern Illinois, where Jeff Tweedy began to grow into one of the best songwriters of his generation. As we watch as his music grew from its beginning of punk and alt-country, some of the key questions and questions in our culture are addressed: How is the music of substance created while the gulf between art and commerce expands in an era of corporate consolidation? How does the music industry make a break or hit? How do working musicians reconcile artistic risk awards with the damage it affects their personal lives? This book was written with collaborations between Wilco members in the past and present. He is also fully aware of the latest staff changes and the upcoming release of the band's fifth album, A Ghost Is Born, will undoubtedly be one of the most talked about albums of 2004.

  • Wilco-Songs Minimalistisch
    Folkdays … Wilco-Songs minimalistisch Musik | Jeff Tweedy: Together At Last Jeff Tweedy, das ist einerseits ein Singer-Songwriter, andererseits ist er der Macher von Wilco in Zusammenarbeit mit John Stirratt, Glenn Kotche, Mikael Jorgensen, Nels Cline und Pat Sansone. Er war auch einmal mit dem Band-Projekt Golden Smog zu hören und es gibt neue Bands von ihm genannt Loose Fur und Tweedy. Das zuerst kurz als Fakten. Von TINA KAROLINA STAUNER Das neue Album von Jeff Tweedy ›Together At Last‹ ist wie ein Überbleibsel aus einer Zeit, in der die Freude Americana, Alternative Country und Neofolk zu hören manchmal fast ungetrübt war. Kein Mainstream laberte irgendeinen Klimbim dazwischen und neben Befindlichkeits- und Beziehungstexten war Sozial- und Gesellschaftskritik in Lyrics ein Zeichen für Anspruch und Niveau. Die Chicagoer Independent-Band Wilco hatte sich mit den ersten Alben in den 1990er Jahren mit Leib und Seele in den Spirit einer ganzen Independent-Generation gespielt. Entstanden aus Uncle Tupelo war Wilco immer wichtig im Diskurs. Bezogen auf traditionelles Wissen über Country und Folk hatte die Band einen ureigenen Sound und integrierte manchmal auch neue und elektronische Klänge in den Kontext. Mittlerweile scheint Jeff Tweedy teils zynisch bis zum geht-nicht-mehr und nach ›Star Wars‹ und ›Schmilco‹ mit Cover-Artwork wie ein Cartoon kam ein ›Together At Last‹. Vergangenheit ist das Woody Guthrie Project, das er mit Nora Guthrie und Billy Bragg vor Jahren veröffentlichte. Vergangenheit sind die frühen Independent-Jahre, wenn es überhaupt noch Leute gibt, die sich daran erinnern. Vergangenheit ist die Band-Dokumentation ›Man in the Sand‹. Vergangenheit sind Songs wie ›In A Future Age‹.

  • Split Single Announces New Album, Amplificado, out June 25Th on Inside Outside Records
    April 27, 2021 For Immediate Release Split Single Announces New Album, Amplificado, Out June 25th on Inside Outside Records Watch Video for Lead Single, "(Nothing You Can Do To) End This Love" Split Single, the collective project of Chicago-based musician Jason Narducy (Bob Mould Band, Superchunk, Verbow), announces their new album, Amplificado, out June 25th on Inside Outside Records. Recorded at Electrical Audio in Chicago by Narducy (guitar/vocals), REM’s Mike Mills (bass), Jon Wurster (drums), Amplificado is a tight collection of rock songs dealing with the anxiety of living through a chaotic and cruel Republican majority rule and under the limitations of a worldwide pandemic. The new album comes nearly five years aer the release of Split Single’s 2016 album, Metal Frames, “a powerhouse pop record that prides itself on tenacious vocals and resolute rhythm guitar” (Stereogum) recorded with Wurster and Wilco’s John Sitrratt, and last year’s acclaimed, Jeff Award-nominated production of Verböten, a musical inspired by Narducy’s now-seminal childhood punk rock band of the same name. In conjunction with today’s announcement, Split Single presents the album’s lead single, “(Nothing You Can Do To) End This Love,” a message of love and support to the LGBTQ+ community. “The chords and melody for this song sounded like defiance to me,” says Narducy. “I wanted to write a lyric that matched this sonic mood. The first words that came into my head were ‘She loves her and he loves him.’ So it ended up being an unconventional love song. I’m expressing support and joy for diverse couples everywhere, including but not only my friends that appear in the video.” The charming accompanying video was directed by Jamie Fleischel.

On Friday, August 11, Hale has put together a new evening featuring showcasing the 7 Worlds Collide / The Sun Came Out concert films.
