Wilco's New Video is Spinach-Powered Awesomeness

-
Apparently, I didn't wait long enough into the day to post new videos, or I'd have led off with the amazing new Wilco video for Dawned On Me.  The video is mind-blowing for a number of reasons, not the least of which being the fact that Wilco haven't released an official video for a single in thirteen years.  It's also a full-blown collab between the band and King Features, creators of the eternally endearing Popeye.  The end result is a truly great music video, as you can plainly see:



Compounding the head-exploding awesomeness is the Wilco brand spinach which, according to the image on this website, is "coming soon".  Not that I feel the burning desire to instantly spurt ginormous forearms, but you have to admit it'd be hellacool to have a can of.

For those so inclined to pick up the album Dawned On Me comes from, The Whole Love is Wilco's 8th album and is out now on dBpm Records.

There's a telling lyrical passage that stuck out to me upon listening to Newfoundland-based indie stalwarts Hey Rosetta's third full-length LP. During the uplifting, depression-battling anthem Cathedral Bells , singer Tim Baker exclaims, "the road is lit and I'm going home".

After exploring the arena-sized farthest reaches of Coldplay, the worldly rhythms of Vampire Weekend and the zealous, choral flourishes of Arcade Fire among others, it's the comfort of home that drives the group down the album's (pun intended, I suppose) home stretch. Long before we get to that point, however, we're treated to some of the band's most interesting material to date. The album starts with current single Soft Offering (for the Oft Suff...

As it turns out, something I said on this blog earlier this year had a little more resonance than I anticipated. From my January 15th article " What Are The Chances? ", where I gave a percentage chance for certain artists releasing a new album in 2013: 1% NINE INCH NAILS We know that Trent Reznor is gearing up to release How To Destroy Angels' debut. We also know that there's an Interscope-released Nine Inch Nails greatest hits collection being targeted for 2014, for which Reznor promises two new Nine Inch Nails songs. But, we also know Reznor likes to fuck with his fans and absolutely loved fucking with Interscope. What better way to do that than to bring out a brand new Nine Inch Nails record? What better way indeed? Surprise: A new #NIN album is finished, coming later this year on @ columbiarecords : tmblr.co/ZW-7vsm2kw_u #NIN2013 — Nine Inch Nails (@nineinchnails) May 28, 2013 Bravo, Mr. Reznor. I love it when a plan comes together. More on...
