Get Yr Tweed On

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Your SAK Correspondent was telling a friend of his, just a few hours ago as they exited the Wilco concert at Brooklyn’s McCarren Pool, that the old arrangement of “Spiders (Kidsmoke)” that Wilco debuted on the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot tour was far superior to the Krautrock Extended Remix thing that ended up being on A Ghost Is Born. And Lo! The Tweedman leads a 2006 two hour solo set with that cherished arrangement. Let it be downloaded and multiply. Thank you, Aquarium Drunkard.

The fascinatingly diverse line-up includes Vivian Girls, Flying Lotus, Awesome Color, and Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, only one of which (pictured) is from New York, and none of which are based in the East Village.
