Before we go, the LA Times has a terrific piece about the catfight going on between Wilco and Plexifilm over the Blu-Ray release of 2002’s I Am Trying to Break Your Heart. The band argues that fans don’t have much to gain by buying the twice-as-expensive Blu-Ray release of the documentary, while Gary Hustwit of Plexifilm maintains that the quality of the High Definition print is worth the extra cash. Plexifilm has decided to postpone the release of the Blu-ray version of the film until they work out a deal with Wilco.
