Jeff Tweedy is an Ugly Man

It's official, the next craze will be "Say My Name Bitch" Elmo. Next year will see the unveiling of the Furby that reads your mind, after that the cabbage patch doll that steals your soul, and finally the X-Box game that allows you to control your own destiny...er wait.

Fine, you win. Yeah, that Wilco footage was claustrophobic, unlike other live footage.

It'r probably for the best that they're not putting out a DVD full of extreme close-ups of Oogly McScrunchface.

Part of my next paycheck will certainly go towards the live cd and part will go to whatever else is goin' on.

One big ass book about the Beatles. I'd shoot for the John/George cover rather than the "alive people" cover.

Erg.

Stereogum, way to ruin my day.

"The evocative cover art for [Thrice's] Vheissu was designed by acclaimed author Dave Eggers, who wrote "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius," "You Shall Know Our Velocity,” and “How We Are Hungry." Eggers says, "I was contacted by Thrice maybe a year ago about doing their new cover. I hadn't done freelance design in many years, so I was intrigued. After meeting the band and reading the lyrics to their new album, I was really happy to be involved. These four men, besides being exceptionally good guys, and incredibly grounded, and are about as socially conscious and engaged as anyone I've known at their age. I think this new album will really mean a lot to their fans, who will benefit a lot from this band's great passion and eloquence. Also: I want to acknowledge Brian McMullen, who helped execute the design once the band and I had decided on a basic concept."

At least he doesn't say they're good.

Yeah right, he probably just farmed it out to some SF area 826 Valencia kids. Talk about McScrunchface.
