Seeing as I’ll be going to see Wilco at Strathmore (my 5th Wilco show!), I decided to try listening through their discography. Going through a band’s discography is a little like taking a trip down memory lane – you can’t help but reminisce about your personal circumstances around the time each record came out and… Read more »
Was looking through my FTP dust bin, and I came across an archive of ‘vintage’ Exit Clov posters circa mid-2000’s … We sure don’t make ’em as badass as we used to 😉 We’ll post some more old flyers soon on the Exit Clov Facebook page: This image came from ‘The Control of Candy Jones’… Read more »

(For translation, see below!) So… our fundraising deadline of Sept. 1 has finally arrived and we’re still dumbfounded by the response for our little home video – 108,000+ hits! From what we know, we were able to encourage at least $6,065 in donations for the relief efforts, which also exceeded our humble expectations. While no… Read more »
So we pared our goal down from 2,000 hits (in the video) to 500 hits. But in less than 48 hours, we were at 11,000+ hits! And now a week later, we’re at 72,000+! We’re so moved you could squeegee tears out of us. Thanks so much to everyone, friends, families, strangers across the Pacific… Read more »
Susan and i made a little lo-fi, home music video tonight to help raise money for the victims of Taiwan’s Typhoon Morakot. It’s a performance of a Taiwanese song called “Ai-Biahnh Jia-eh Eianh.” [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72M9-kyVxsc] We’re personally making a donation of .25 cents for every hit/view we get on this YouTube video between now and September… Read more »
Psst! The new self-titled Wilco record is now available for streaming. Was pleasantly surprised to hear Leslie Feist’s voice on one of the tracks, even though we were a little disappointed in her performance at the Dark Was the Night show at Radio City a couple weeks ago. Justin Vernon definitely stole the show with… Read more »
Here’s a new one: “The place of origin of H1N1 doesn’t indicate blame for a particular country, race, gender, etc. H1N1 doesn’t target anyone or any specific group and spreads the way seasonal flu spreads. It is an equal opportunity virus.” -Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, (Regional Emergency Support Function This is no joke. This… Read more »
Keith Bradsher’s article in the NY Times about what to name the Swine Flu is pretty comical, despite the seriousness of it all. It’s like a hot potato, and every country, religion, nationality, race, &culture is trying not to get burned. It reads like an Onion article! Government officials in Thailand, one of the world’s… Read more »
Finished soundchecking at Drom, where we’re playing tonight. The sound guy was a veritable CRAB, to put it politely. Good thing the space was rather unique and beautiful. Puts us in a peaceful & excitable state of mind, if that makes any sense. John was stuck in class still, so Aaron subbed in on drums…. Read more »
