The Wilco Book

Shane Handler December 28, 2004 No Comments

Since the release of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in 2002, Wilco’s stature has risen to “cool” mainstream, right along with their marketability. With a
headlining New Years Eve date at the prestigious Madison Square Garden, they secure a respected place in rock history, not to mention a damn good place to sell overpriced goodies. But for those without tickets, don’t fret, as
the latest band merch is now available in bookstores and amazon carts
everywhere, with a colorful 165 page book and CD of unreleased material.

With the unbearable wind-chills and sub-zero temps, this year’s northeast ski season has been less than legendary. There have been some large storms, and snowfalls have been reported steady at various resorts, but lately, braving the cold has been a far greater challenge than the terrain.

As the former vocalist for the 1990s Burlington, Vermont band The Pants, Tom Lawson is no stranger to pushing his creative endeavors on stage front and center. After viewing his “Autommatics, Semi-Automatics, Re-Dos and Hard Labor,” painting exhibit at the Firehouse Gallery in Burlington, Vermont, you get an immediate sense that Lawson thrives on creativity, as his new stage transforms to an array of plywood, canvas, and paints into an improvised array of energy.
