Hiatus? What Hiatus?

What could possibly have me back blogging so soon after I claimed I was on a break?

Only the man himself, Mr. Jeff Tweedy.

Yes, I've stumbled across some more new Wilco material from concerts, and... well, I'll let you guys be the judge of it for now, I suppose. Much like "Is That The Thanks I Get?" (the song also known as "We Can Make It Better"), its a different, much sunnier sound for the band. You can see a marked difference now that Jeff Tweedy's kicked the pain pill habit in his music, and while its admittedly lost some of the more cryptic quailities that were a hallmark of "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" and "A Ghost Is Born", you can tell he's having a lot more fun with it all.

First up (and I do intend to post several of these in the next few days) is "There's a Light", arguably the warmest song Tweedy's ever written- very catchy, very feel-good. I think you'll dig it.

Wilco- There's a Light

As a bonus, there's a nice quality YouTube clip of them doing this in concert, which also showcases what I can only assume is Jeff Tweedy's slow metamorphasis into some sort of bearlike creature.
