Win Jeff Tweedy’s New DVD, Wilco Poster

Following up on the Primus contest I featured last week — the correct answer was “Winona’s Big Brown Beaver” — I’ve got a copy of Jeff Tweedy’s new DVD, Sunken Treasure, and a Wilco poster to giveaway this week…

The DVD will be released on October 24 and MusicToday is currently offering up some goodies for fans that pre-order the release.

“Recorded over five nights during his February 2006 solo acoustic tour, the first ever Jeff Tweedy solo DVD features footage gathered from concerts at Seattle’s Moore Theater, Portland’s Crystal Ballroom, Eugene’s McDonald Theater, Arcata’s Humboldt State University, and The Fillmore in San Francisco. The disc showcases songs from Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, and Loose Fur, including the unreleased “The Thanks I Get.”

Every DVD pre-order will include a limited edition 4-postcard set commemorating posters from various Jeff Tweedy solo shows dating back to the Lounge Ax days. Each 4″x6″ postcard boasts a hi-gloss finish and is approved for mail (stamps not included).

The winner of the contest will get a copy of Sunken Treasure and the Wilco Poster of their choice from the Wilco Store.”

Drop a comment telling me what you like most about Jeff Tweedy and/or Wilco and I’ll choose a winner at random from the list later in the week…

Jeff has an incredible knack for melody AND experimentation, and seeinf the band is a religious experience! You can actually FEEL the love dripping from the stage. He/they have a way of getting inside my head and my heart,awakening unexpressed feelings and words. “Somethin’ in my veins- bloodier than blood”. I’m a songwriter and discovering them has opened an entire other door in my own writing. They’re pretty fearless. I saw them at Foellinger Auditorium in Champaign in 2005 and they opened with “Hell Is Chrome” which starts out quietly after a brief musical intro:”When the devil came- he was not red…” I looked around the room when the vocal began and I SWEAR I saw a collective “leaning in” toward the stage as they began. My life is better because of Wilco;Uncle Tupelo,Loose Fur, and Golden Smog!

I’ve never had a bad time at a Wilco or Jeff Tweedy show – that says a lot. Plus they’re good people.

Tweedy has been a part of so many different bands (Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, Golden Smog, Loose Fur) and all incarnations of Tweedy are great! But the best thing is that they are playing a show tomorrow in Oxford, MS that I have tickets on the second row for!

I believe, Jeff Tweedy, is the closest thing we have to our generations Bob Dylan. Tweedy started off as an Americana, country/folk rock pioneer who transformed into a post modern rocker alienating the majority of his audience. Sound familiar like Dylan did some thirty some odd years earlier when he went from folk to electric?

Tweedy is one of the most influential artists of our modern day. He along, save for with Ryan Adams, is Americas most prolific songwriters. One thing that Tweedy has on the shy, reclusive Dylan is that Jeff has such a charismatic stage presence. (Not that its a bad thing. The mystic is what makes Dylan such a gigantic icon. Dylan lets his songs do the talking for him.) No one does stage banter like Tweedy. He loves music. He loves playing, hearing and even believes in free downloading music. You can hear the joy in his voice when he plays on stage and when he talks to the crowd in between songs. You can tell that Tweedy treats performing his music as privilege and it shows with his unbridled artistic enthusiasm.

Because Tweedy has single-handedly changed the modern music scene, remember the YhF fiasco, he is one of my heroes.
