I'll be there with bells on. Please forgive me for saying this (certain people), but most of the time, I liked Jay Bennett's songs better...

i also think bennett's songs in wilco were amazing. however, tweedy might be my favorite modern songwriter. ps 4/23 YHF will be released proper.

So, has Bennett formed a band, or is it more of an acoustic thing. I still am hoping to make it. It's about time I got a date on YHF, can't wait.

Yes. They already have the info up on cdnow:

Okay, I've thought about it more. I guess I can't say that I like Bennett's songs better that Tweedy's (although they are some of the most interesting moments on Summerteeth). But I will say that I like Wilco albums much much more that have Bennett involved than ones without (A.M.). And YHF does count as having Bennett involved. I'm very curious to hear what the NEXT Wilco album will sound like. That one will truly be post-Bennett.

lawnwrangler you should not post info on shows that coincide with features shows on this board you know that everyone here will be at the boro on may 2 - just joking this sounds interesting maybe the features should move their show and open for jay bennett - well that might not work out either - maybe I will just have to flip a coin

Shit. It is on the same night as a Features show. I might have to flip a coin, too.
