New vinyl from Wilco
My son Max and I were out and about in South Yarra yesterday.
We stopped for a bite to eat at a cafe where Wilco was playing over the sound system.
Afterwards we walked across to a bookstore where they were also playing Wilco.
On the way back to the car we stopped in to chat with the guys at Greville Records. Lo and behold they were playing Wilco too.
"Must be Wilco week," said Max. Turns out it is.
They're playing two shows in Melbourne this week and I'd completely forgotten that I'd bought a ticket.
Much as I love the band though, I really can't get excited about the set of soon to be released Wilco vinyl toys sitting above this post.
I'm a big fan of both vinyl toys and Wilco, but the combination of the two really doesn't do it for me. At all.

I'm with you on that one. Wilco and merchandise? Yeuck!
As The Fonze mounts his minibike to jump the Wilco dolls....
The new record's gotta be a little bit better than super to make up for this. I'm sure it will.
At least you can't illegally download a toy.
Vroom vroom.
They obviously weren't joking when they wrote 'I am trying to break your heart'.
I agree - that seems pretty incongruous with the band's personality. Have you seen Sunken Treasure? it's a DVD of Jeff Tweedy solo live shows, where he mainly yells at the audience for talking during his sets...it's awesome.
PS - I don't know how old your son is, but it's pretty awesome that he knows Wilco.
