  • For Immediate Release: Wilco Hosts Headcount and Patagonia Inc.'S “Vote the Environment” Campaign at U.S. Tour Stops
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: WILCO HOSTS HEADCOUNT AND PATAGONIA INC.’S “VOTE THE ENVIRONMENT” CAMPAIGN AT U.S. TOUR STOPS - Non-partisan voter registration drive paired with environmental campaign turns Wilco concerts into more than a musical experience NEW YORK, NY – With the Presidential election approaching fast, the Chicago-based rock band Wilco has turned their concerts into a call for democratic participation by hosting the non-partisan voter registration organization HeadCount and Patagonia Inc.’s “Vote the Environment” campaign at nearly every U.S tour stop. On Wilco’s upcoming tour, which begins in Chicago on Sept. 15th and ends in Los Angeles on Sept. 30th, HeadCount and Patagonia will set up side-by-side booths at each concert. Anyone in attendance at these concerts will have the chance to register to vote. Anyone will also be able to remind their elected officials that environmental issues help determine how they vote. In support of these efforts, Wilco also donated an exclusive version of their song “Whole Love” – the title track from their Grammy-nominated album The Whole Love – with all proceeds from download of this song benefitting HeadCount and its nationwide voter registration campaign. (Track can be downloaded at: http://bit.ly/LH70bE). Patagonia also produced a special edition Wilco/Vote the Environment t-shirt, with a portion of proceeds benefitting HeadCount (T-shirts can be ordered at: http://bit.ly/KE0HdV). "Given the current state of American politics," notes Jeff Tweedy, Wilco’s lead singer, "it's easy to see why people become disillusioned and don't participate. But my hope, and my reason for this partnership, is to remind people that they do have a voice, and voting is an effective and undeniable way to be heard.

  • Youth Culture and Nightlife in Bristol
    Youth culture and nightlife in Bristol A report by: Meg Aubrey Paul Chatterton Robert Hollands Centre for Urban and Regional Development Studies and Department of Sociology and Social Policy University of Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU, UK In 1982 there were pubs and a smattering of (God help us) cocktail bars. The middle-aged middle classes drank in wine bars. By 1992 there were theme pubs and theme bars, many of them dumping their old traditional names in favour of ‘humorous’ names like The Slug and Lettuce, The Spaceman and Chips or the Pestilence and Sausages (actually we’ve made the last two up). In 2001 we have a fair few pubs left, but the big news is bars, bright, shiny chic places which are designed to appeal to women rather more than blokes with swelling guts. In 1982 they shut in the afternoons and at 11pm weekdays and 10.30pm Sundays. In 2001 most drinking places open all day and many late into the night as well. In 1982 we had Whiteladies Road and in 2001 we have The Strip (Eugene Byrne, Venue Magazine July, 2001 p23). Bristol has suddenly become this cosmopolitan Paris of the South West. That is the aspiration of the council anyhow. For years it was a very boring provincial city to live in and that’s why the music that’s come out of it is so exciting. Cos it’s the product of people doing it for themselves. That’s a real punk-rock ethic. (Ian, music goer, Bristol). Contents Contents 2 List of Tables 5 Introduction 6 Chapter 1.

    November 27, 2018 For Immediate Release JEFF TWEEDY SHARES NEW VIDEO FOR "I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE" AND ANNOUNCES 2019 US TOUR CONCERT TO BE LIVE-STREAMED FROM CHICAGO ON DEC. 1ST WARM, FIRST SOLO ALBUM OF ORIGINAL MATERIAL, OUT THIS FRIDAY ON DBPM RECORDS (photo credit: Whitten Sabbatini) Jeff Tweedy's first solo album of entirely new original material, WARM, is out this Friday on dBpm Records. In advance of this occasion, Jeff has shared a new video for "I Know What It's Like," a new song off the album, and announced a solo US tour for early 2019. Tickets for the newly announced dates go on sale this Friday at 7PM local time. Tickets can be purchased at wilcoworld.net/shows. Additionally, Jeff (with band) will be performing songs from WARM via a live-stream this Saturday, Dec. 1st, at 8pm CST. The stream can be viewed and embedded via this YouTube link. WARM was produced and recorded entirely by Jeff at Chicago’s now legendary studio, The Loft (with help from some of his usual collaborators – Spencer Tweedy, Glenn Kotche and Tom Schick). Although not an official companion-piece to his newly released memoir, LET’S GO (SO WE CAN GET BACK): A Memoir of Recording and Discording with Wilco, Etc., the two works are inextricably linked by time (the two were created concurrently) and topic (some of the stories Jeff mined for his book appear in some form on the album, and the lyrics for many songs off the record close out his book).
