Every Monday morning. Music so good… it must be shared.

This week: “I Am Trying To Break Your Heart” — Wilco, from the album, “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” 

Late Saturday night, I finally saw the Sam Jones documentary, “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco.” (It’s streaming on Netflix.) It depicts the process of recording “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot”, which included some infighting between Jeff Tweedy and Jay Bennett and the band getting dropped from their label before the album’s release. With an ode to Garth Algar: If you’re gonna stream, stream this.

Every Monday morning. Music so good… it must be shared.

This week: “Heart to Hang Onto” — Pete Townshend and Eddie Vedder, live on David Letterman

It took me a few months, but I finally saw “Pearl Jam Twenty”, the Cameron Crowe project about the band’s first 20 years. Plenty of great stuff — some of the unseen footage from the early 90s might have been the most compelling part — but there was also a great moment where Eddie Vedder is talking about the first time he met Pete Townshend.

Vedder, he recalls, was paralyzed. This is Pete Townshend. His hero. What do you say? And then, (and I’m paraphrasing here) Townshend spoke.

“I’ve waited so long to meet you,” he said.
