..In March Mavis plays a series of dates with Billy Bragg right before he plays ...Jeff Tweedy like he did on the Colbert Report that same week played with Mavis at City Winery in October. Videos from that show Colbert and Jools Holland with all tour dates below...... John even made some snarky remarks to the tune of not exact quotes Thanks for listening the two of you and that the Autumn Defense was a rock band sort of just loud enough that you could still talk over them .

But Tweedy has spent much of the last decade alienating old fans while winning new ones by following an elusive muse thats had him exploring elaborate pop production on Summerteeth avant-garde deconstruction on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot the process of which was detailed in the documentary I Am Trying To Break Your Heart and fractured mood pieces on A Ghost Is Born. Between Wilco projects Tweedy has collaborated with friends on albums by Golden Smog The Minus 5 and Loose Fur the latter of which let Tweedy explore the kind of long-form jamming that early Wilco largely eschewed. Some of that sensibility has spilled over into the last few Wilco albums and even the bands latest Sky Blue Sky adds extended instrumental passages to a set of songs as bright and likeable as any since Being There.
