Wilco to appear on The Colbert Report

In this nasty political climate, the "final push", the last couple of days before Election Day, a.k.a. the beginning of the next great chapter in the history of the United States, it seems obvious that everyone has their eyes and ears pinned to the all-out Election '08 coverage. It's just a bit overwhelming. Hey, I'm so happy that I don't live in a swing state.

I don't know how you folks in O-hi-O, FLA, VA, "New HAMP-shire??" ("What About Bob?" anyone?), or North Carolina do it. All your asses must be bruised by now from all of the ass-kissing that's been going on.

Anyhow, good news on the music front. One of my fav's, Wilco, will be gracing The Colbert Report stage tomorrow night. Um...sweet. And to go along with that, here's a fantastic new song they debuted at the Bridge School Bennie. Hopefully it will make an appearance on the upcoming LP, because it's loverly.

Wilco To Be Featured on "The Colbert Report"

As if good ol' Stephen Colbert wasn't enough to make you watch "The Colbert Report," this Thursday the wonderful Wilco lads will be the special musical guest. Set to perform one song, the Chicago rockers follow a long line of quality live music on The Report including The Roots, R.E.M., Nas, Feist, the Decemberists and many more. The program airs this Thursday, October 30, on Comedy Central at 10:30 p.m. EDT.

The Report gig begins a nice little tour for Wilco that includes a Concert for Change in Madison, Wisconsin on Saturday, November 1 before they do a leg supporting Neil Young in December.
