The Doors Forum

Saw Jeff Tweedy last night (July 26, 2014) with his new band TWEEDY that includes his new kickass drummer-- drummer that I am, the first thing i heard was a great drummer when the concert opened-introduced after the long and amazing electric set--Spencer Tweedy, his 18 year old son! Great great outdoor concert! New album in September!-lk

They're really a great band. I've seen them 6 times and have seen a solo Jeff show once. The music is so spot-on that there are never any bad nights. I picked up a copy of Jeff's poetry book, Adult Head, back in 2004 and was floored by his writings. That really turned me on to the music. The stars aligned and he signed that book a couple of months later for me. I highly recommend everyone to their music.

YES, I agree! And he is quite fun between songs.

California Stars--when I saw Jeff singing this great one from Mermaid Avenue )Billy Bragg & Wilco) everyone sang along

The Ballad Of The Opening Band...from the last 7" single in the Songs For Slim [Dunlap] benefit series...thank youth Jeff and all the others artists

On February 19th, 2012 former Replacements guitarist Slim Dunlap was hospitalized due to a massive right brain stroke. Insurance does not pay for long term care and the general prognosis for Slim is that he will need around-the-clock care for the rest of his life. He needs our help.

Songs For Slim is a non-profit project that raises money for Slim and his family by having various artists cover songs from his solo works. All proceeds go towards assisting Slim and his family with the significant expenses related towards his long term care. After an initial, limited-edition deluxe 10" EP by The Replacements in January 2013, subsequent releases were pressed every month as limited edition split 7” vinyl 45s in beautiful, numbered picture sleeves featuring original artwork by Chris Mars. A total of 8 records were auctioned off in 2013 plus there was a special 45 released for Record Store Day and a commercial version of The Replacements EP was released in April 2013. All Songs For Slim releases are also available digitally. On November 12, 2013, we'll be putting out a 2CD compilation of all the Slim songs in the series plus some bonus tracks.
