Speaking of Wilco . . .

They had this little tidbit in the e-mail sent to the mailing list this morning:
 
 And those of you here in good old North America, be sure to watch the site in the coming weeks. We're about to start confirming dates for the fall and will be announcing them shortly. We're working hard this time to assure there'll be more tickets to go around than there were on their most US recent tour.
 
 I hope that doesn't mean they won't be playing 9:30 . . . Not wishing to see them at larger venues. I like the Club.

in chicago, they distributed tickets through will call only.  limit 2 per person and the other one must be escorted by the ticket holder.

 With a new album out and an intriguing new biography spinning the tale of his tormented career, Wilco's Jeff Tweedy looks like the leading American rocker of his generation. Which may tell you something about the state of American rock.
