Wake up, rockists! No, it’s not about the new Vampire Weekend album (although that was digitally serviced this morning so expect it to be on the Internet and everywhere and free… now!), it’s about Wilco. The band will be playing Electric Factory on Saturday, April 10; tickets go on sale Saturday, January 9 at 10am. No word on opening acts — if any — yet, as the show is being billed “An Evening With Wilco,” which is code for, “this will be long, but if you stay put long enough, we may get around to admitting that we were the same band who wrote ‘Casino Queen’ and yes, we did in fact make records before we met Jim O’Rourke.” Prediction: By the end of this decade, Wilco will revert back to alt-country. It’s that whole retro-clock thing; we’ve just run out of time.
