"Before you know it as the years go by, you're just like other people you have seen, with all those peculiar human ailments. Just another vehicle for temper and vanity and rashness and all the rest. Who wants it? Who needs it? These things occupy the place where a man's soul should be." -- Henderson the Rain King

Wilco on the Tee Vee

Wilco was on Austin City Limits last night, and on the David Letterman show Friday night . On Letterman they played 'The Late Greats', which is the last track on their new(ish) CD A Ghost is Born. The set list from the ACL show is posted on the ACL website. Both performances were excellent and just further confimed that the new album is really good live. Gotta love the Wilco.

The ACL episode also included a set by Bright Eyes who brought in Jim James (of My Morning Jacket) and M. Ward as guests. It was cool to see the show, especially since we saw the same group of musician perform at the Moore Theater on October 18th, 8 days after the ACL episode was taped. On tour they jokingly dubbed themselves The Monsters of Folk. I'm excited about the new Bright Eyes CDs that are coming out in late January and the new M. Ward CD which I believe is also due out early this year.
