By: Cal Roach Wilco :: 10.18.09 :: UIC Pavilion :: Chicago, IL Jeff Tweedy - Wilco by Casey Flanigan It has taken the hype surrounding Wilco's first show in the "huge arena" that is UIC Pavilion to make me realize how NOT huge this band actually is. It's easy to forget sometimes; music critics have been lavishing praise on the group since its second album (1996's Being There), WXRT DJ Marty Lennartz calls them "the greatest American...

MONDAY: Singer-songwriter Lenka has said her music is a mixture of the Beatles, Burt Bacharach and Bjork. Like the first two she shares a good ear for bouncy melodies, but Lenka and Bjork are alike only in that they both evoke pixies. But the Australian singer has a voice as cute as her face (that is, very), and her sweet 2008 debut, "Lenka," spawned the ultra-catchy pop song "The Show," which Old Navy used in a major campaign. After the...  

Peter Gabriel will release a covers album titled Scratch My Back sometime next year. The disc, which doesn't yet have a release date, features orchestral "reinterpretations" of songs by the likes of Arcade Fire, Radiohead, David Bowie, Talking Heads, The Kinks, Lou Reed and others. (No, there aren't any Vampire Weekend songs on it.) Nice to see Gabriel's not letting his Phil Collins connection rub off on him and affect his musical taste...

Canada's known for indie rock, so makes sense you'll find plenty of homegrown talent (BSS, Stars) and international musicians (Wilco, Iron & Wine, Joan As Policewoman) near the slopes at Vancouver's Winter Olympics. More names at CoS.

Each pick comes with a handwritten message from the artist inside a frame, and all proceeds from the auction go to charity. The auction has been divided into three weeks. Picks from artists like Kings Of Leon, The Raveonettes...  

Like any other rock band making music today, Wilco has to deal with some haters on the internet. But not many of those bands get the chance to address the feedback. When Jeff Tweedy and Co. stopped by their hometown of Chicago for a two-night stand, The Onion’s A.V. Club decided to give Tweedy a forum. His tone in the interview, published late last week, is not as defensive as one might expect, either....  

Filed under: Concerts and Tours, News, New MusicDon't expect Wilco to slow down in 2010. The Jeff Tweedy-fronted band plans to return to the studio in the new year to commence work on the follow-up to its latest disc, 'Wilco (The Album),' which just dropped back in June."We're going to start recording new ideas in January and just start that process and keep it going," guitarist Nels Cline told Paste.

Half the country music we call country music today doesn't quite fit. The sentiment is often "throw an alt- on that country and let it lie." Sure, there may be a twang or a heartbroken lyric here and there, but where's the desolation, the loneliness, and most importantly, the barn-stomping, string breaking fury?Seems like all that pent up country music has been hiding in a band from, of all unlikely places, Brooklyn. The band's called My...
