Twee-Dee-Vee-Dee...
Here is a little blurb I spotted on
Wilco's website:
Nonesuch Records will release Sunken Treasure: Live in the Pacific Northwest, a performance DVD by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, on October 24. The disc includes performances and conversations gathered over five nights on Tweedy’s February 2006 solo acoustic tour, with footage from concerts at Seattle’s Moore Theater, Portland’s Crystal Ballroom, Eugene’s McDonald Theater, Arcata’s Humboldt State University, and The Fillmore in San Francisco. The film was directed by Christoph Green and Fugazi’s Brendan Canty, the creators of the documentary series Burn to Shine.
The audio tracks of all the songs featured on the DVD also will be available for anyone who purchases Sunken Treasure to download for free. This continues Wilco’s own tradition of regularly giving music to its fans via the Internet. (Can't wait for that!)
Oh, here's one more Wilco media morsel: Don't ever let it be said that I don't have it in me to recommend a book (once in a while). If you are a big fan of Wilco, check out a book called Learning How To Die, by Greg Kot...it skillfully covers the history of Uncle Tupelo and Wilco and gives some interesting insight into Jeff Tweedy's mind and the path that brought him here today. Even those of you plagued with poor reading comprehension skills, like me, should still find this book to be a quick, fascinating story. There is even a website for the book...how's that for ironic?
