Personally, this Seattlest is stoked to see Wilco back together, making the rounds, bringing their folk-rock/alt.country stylings to the people once again. They've certainly had their fair share of band drama, but the band can still rock. We caught Jeff Tweedy solo down in Lyons, Colo., last summer at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival and thoroughly enjoyed his solo set. So it is with quite a bit of fanfare that we are happy to announce that his band Wilco will be performing at Marymoor Park tonight. (Fanfare, confetti, trumpets.)

If you are at all interested in digital music, ownership of content and copyrights, then you should check out this presentation by famed digital legal scholar, Lawrence Lessig and Jeff Tweedy of Wilco given at the New York Public Library. They discuss the rights and ownership of music in an age where more music than can be listened to in a lifetime can be acquired for no cost in a matter of seconds. If you are a fan/hater of the 'illegal' file sharing sites and apps, then this will provide some interesting conversation. If you don't have an opinion, then you will learn about what it means to 'own' content. We will also admit that we are totally biased, since we have a a man-crush on both Tweedy and Lessig.
