I’ll be fleshing out my thoughts re: Best of ’06 over the coming weeks. For now, be sure to see LargeHeartedBoys aggregation of the many Best of Music ’06 lists on the Web.
And a big happy birthday to Tom Waits!
Acknowledged: Warner Music Head’s Kids are Pirates
And “they’ve suffered the consequences.” Whatever that’s supposed to mean.
At the Reuters’ Summit, Edgar Bronfman was asked if his kids steal music:
“I’m fairly certain that they have, and I’m fairly certain that they’ve suffered the consequences.”
Other interesting tidbits from the Summit (full coverage here): Bronfman says WMG is diving head-first into online advertising deals in online video plays. They’ve been gettin’ with YouTube, I wonder if they’ve got it in for Revver and others as well.
Looking to invest in media stocks? The experts at the summit are looking towards News Corp, Apple and Disney.
Wilco, Auditorium Theatre Chicago Nov 24 2006
Hear the Friday Nov. 24 Auditorium Theatre show HERE.
BUMPED: We now have audio! From the Madison Barrymore Theater. show Nov. 22 — very similar setlist, although slightly rougher as it was the warm-up for the Chitown shows. Listen to the new goodies:
* Let’s Not Get Carried Away
* Shake it Off
* What Light
* Walken
(more)

It was quite a treat to see Wilco last night, at what is most certainly my favorite venue (post-Lounge Ax) to see them, the large, elegant Auditorium Theater with its exquisitely updated sound system. I last saw them here in October 2004.
I’m sorry to report that for some reason *none* of the audio came out as collected for me to share with you, however, I will keep my eyes peeled for any recordings from the show — or of any of the new songs they performed on this mini-tour (I believe it was one in Madison and 2 in Chicago). Nels Cline was absolutely tremendous and his presence is felt on the new stuff — as yet untitled new album is expected in 2007 — even moreso than it was on ‘Ghost.” As per usual, Glenn Kotche remains the man — his solo in the hard-rockin’ Let’s Not Get Carried Away was tops. Excellent full band rendition of Remember the Mountain Bed and we were treated to two other Guthrie gems (ref. Mermaid Ave I & II — Airline to Heaven and California Stars. Apparently several new songs were also played at the October 19 9:30 Club show in DC, which can be streamed via NPR. Also, bassist John Stirratt rapped about the upcoming record a bit in this Billboard interview last week.
