Wilco Ready to Dance
 
 Band to hit the studio after summer tour
 
 Wilco will head back into the studio in August to begin recording the follow-up to 2004's A Ghost Is Born. "For some reason, we've been digging a lot of dance music recently, like Fela Kuti," says Wilco singer Jeff Tweedy, "so look out!"
 
 First, the band will kick off a summer tour on May 28th in Washington. Fellow rockers My Morning Jacket and hip-hoppers the Roots will pop up along the way. "I read an interview where [Roots drummer] ?uestlove said he really likes A Ghost Is Born," Tweedy says of the pairing.
 
 Filmmaker Sam Jones, who directed the acclaimed 2002 Wilco documentary I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, captured the band live during its recent four-night stand at Chicago's Vic Theatre. A live DVD is due later this year.
 
 Wilco tour dates:
 
 5/28: George, WA, Sasquatch! Festival at the Gorge
 6/11: Berkeley, CA, Greek Theatre
 6/14: Los Angeles, Greek Theatre (with the Roots)
 6/16: Telluride, CO, Telluride Bluegrass Festival
 6/17: Morrison, CO, Red Rocks (with the Roots)
 6/18: Lawrence, KS, Wakarusa Festival
 6/21: Rochester Hills, MI, Meadow Brook Amphitheatre (with My Morning Jacket)

doest ?uestlove just like everything he hears?  i remember reading that he's a huge john mayer fan.
 
 although its hard to question his taste, the dude is cooler than all of us put together.
