Near the start of his recently released book World Within a Song, Jeff Tweedy admits there's probably some parallel timeline where this one is his first, not third, book. It is, after all, dedicated to a subject he's “thought about the most by far: other people's songs.”  Through a series of comical stories and humble reflections, the Wilco leader puts together a playlist with the book. It's a wide ranging one at that, covering the spectral, alt-country slow-core combo Souled American to gospel purity of The Staples Singers to the abrasive rapture of Suicide. Songs, Tweedy insists, teach us how to be human, how, to quote Tweedy ”universally vast the experience of listening to almost anything with intent and openness can be. And most importantly, how songs absorb and enhance our own experiences and store our memories.”  Tweedy has penned plenty of songs that fit that bill for me personally, and that's why I'm so glad to welcome him to this week's installment of Transmissions. This year, Wilco celebrated a milestone: 20 years of the band's current lineup: founding members Tweedy and bassist John Stirratt, guitarist Nels Cline, multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone, keyboard player Mikael Jorgensen, and drummer Glenn Kotche. They aren't commemorating with a rest. They're staging another installment of their Solid Sound Festival, June 28-30th at MASS MoCA In North Adams, MA. And they've got a new EP on the way too, Hot Sun Cool Shroud, out June 28 via their dBpm label, which they'll debut at the festival.   Aquarium Drunkard is supported by our subscribers.

Wilco's fourth studio album, the quirky-yet-beloved 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot', is widely considered to be the band's masterpiece. So of course Rob dismissed it as overhyped alt-rock critic-bait for 20 years. Returning guest Steve Carroll patiently unwraps the storied tropes and mythical symbols of Jeff Tweedy and co., revealing a pretty fantastic rock record underneath. Songs featured in this episode: Jesus, etc. (Live at Sydney Opera House, 2013), Via Chicago - Wilco; After The Gold Rush - Neil Young; Drown - Son Volt; Forget The Flowers - Wilco; Black Horse - Gastr Del Sol; I Am Trying To Break Your Heart, Kamera - Wilco; Isi - NEU!; Radio Cure, War On War, Jesus, etc., Ashes Of American Flags, Heavy Metal Drummer - Wilco; American Girl - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers; Strutter - Kiss; I'm The Man Who Loves You - Wilco; Apeman - The Kinks; Pot Kettle Black - Wilco; In Between Days - The Cure; Poor Places, Reservations - Wilco; Phonetic Alphabet NATO - The Conet Archive; I Am Trying To Break Your Heart - JC Brooks and The Uptown Sound

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is the fourth studio album by American rock band Wilco and first released on September 18, 2001. Recording sessions for the album began in late 2000. These sessions, which were documented for the film I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, were marred by conflicts including a switch in drummers and disagreements among the band members and engineers about songs. Despite this, the album would be completed in early 2001. The album showcased a more atmospheric and experimental sound than the band's previous work, and has been described as art rock and indie rock[3] by music critics. It was the band's first album with drummer Glenn Kotche, and last with multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Jay Bennett. Reprise Records, Wilco's record label at the time, refused to release the album as they felt unhappy about the end result; this would lead to Wilco's departure from Reprise. The band subsequently acquired the rights to the album and later streamed the entire album for free on their website on September 18, 2001. In November of that year, Wilco signed with Nonesuch Records, who gave the album its first official retail release on April 23, 2002. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot received widespread acclaim from music critics at release, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of the 2000s. Today special guest cohost Charles Herald and I explore this album and rank the songs on it. So go ahead and fall in love with the drummer because this is That One Show Episode 14: Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Pianist Lisa Kaplan of eighth blackbird joins us to chat about the many evolutions of their organization, from the original ensemble to their many teaching endeavors. We chat about the Chicago Artists Workshop and Blackbird Creative Lab, two of the ways in which they continue to “move music forward” beyond their primarily performance-based projects. Kaplan shares about how the ensemble conceptualizes and puts projects—such as This is my Home—into action. We speak about how the organization integrates interns into their administrative process. And, we ask, "why 'eighth blackbird'?" Born in Motown, Lisa Kaplan is a pianist specializing in the performance of new work by living composers. Kaplan is the founding pianist and Executive Director of the four-time Grammy Award-winning sextet Eighth Blackbird. Kaplan has won numerous awards, performed all over the country and has premiered new pieces by hundreds of composers, including Andy Akiho, Jennifer Higdon, Amy Beth Kirsten, David Lang, Missy Mazzoli, Nico Muhly, George Perle, and Pamela Z. She has had the great pleasure to collaborate and make music with an eclectic array of incredibly talented people - Laurie Anderson, Jeremy Denk, Bryce Dessner, Philip Glass, Bon Iver, J. Ivy, Glenn Kotche, Shara Nova, Will Oldham, Natalie Portman, Gustavo Santaolalla, Robert Spano, Tarrey Torae, Dawn Upshaw and Michael Ward-Bergeman to name a few. As a proud, single-mama-by-choice, Kaplan has been having an incredible time raising and learning from her happy-go-lucky 4 year old, Frida. Musically as of late, she has also greatly enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity to do both composing and arranging for Eighth Blackbird as well as some producing. In 2019, Kaplan co-produced her first record, When We Are Inhuman with Bryce Dessner. Kaplan is a true foodie, gourmet cook, avid reader, crossword and Scrabble addict, enjoys baking ridiculously complicated pastry and loves outdoor adventures. She has summited Mt. Kilimanjaro, braved the Australian outback, stared an enormous elephant in the face in Tanzania's Ngorongoro Crater and survived close encounters with grizzly bears in the Brooks Range of Alaska.

Glenn Kotche is best known as the drummer in the band Wilco, but he also always has many interesting projects happening, and he is one of the most creative drummers of our time. I am going to talk to Glenn today about what he has been up to, what he has going on into 2022, and how he finds the creative inspiration to make the sounds that work for all of his endeavors.

People usually have one of three different reactions when it comes to the band, Wilco. They either love them, think they're ok, or they've never heard to them. Nobody hates Wilco, from what I can tell. For this weeks Thanksgiving themed episode of TBCBYF, I chat with my childhood friend and Wilco aficionado Eugene Kim. Together we discuss Jeff Tweedy's first band with Jay Farrar, Uncle Tupelo, the pros and cons of the various members of Wilco, including early line-ups, the Jay Bennet days, and the current gang with Glenn Kotche and Nels Cline, why Wilco has become the definition of "dad rock," and how ex-Lounge Ax owner Susan Miller has been a pillar in Tweedy's life. All the while, we will trade notes on a time-tested autumn dish. This episode is sponsored by Izzy's Coffee in Asheville, NC.

I'm hanging out with musician, producer, and drum tech extraordinaire Ashwin Deepankar. Ashwin and I met about 7 years ago when we worked together at Chicago Music Exchange. In 2015, Ashwin left CME to go on tour with the band Wilco as their drummer Glenn Kotche's tech. Ashwin is a sonically creative person with a generous heart and he shares stories that I think perfectly showcase how those qualities make him excel in is career. Life on the road is always an adventure and he shares what it was like being on tour when the world shut down last year.  16 months was a long time to be off the road and he shares how he created a space for creativity in his home and how he needed .

On this episode the boys talk about a movie from the 70s neither of them have seen before ripping into Glenn Kotche's alleged least favourite Wilco song.

Wilco's Glenn Kotche shares insight into composing music for drumset, how/when he adds gear to his collection, and some cool stories about his first snare drums.

We're talking about "Citizens" this time.Here's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the Aeolian harp guy,  as performed the staff of the Wisconsin Maritime Museum, underwater archaeologists, marine scientists, and historians. (And Iron Maiden also fashioned it into a song.)The albatross is a big ol' bird. These guys at Lindblad Expeditions-Natural Geographic have a fun time showing everyone just how big it is.We mentioned Jeff Tweedy's songwriting process, and he happens to have a whole book about that called How to Write One Song."High crimes" made us think of crimes on the high seas, and here's an article about The Outlaw Ocean Music Project, which seeks to partner journalists and musicians to do necessary reporting on such crimes.Speaking of Wilco and nautical themes, do you remember when Wilco did this song for the soundtrack to The Spongebob Squarepants Movie?Here's next week's song: "We Were Lucky."

The star of the show: the "Everyone Hides" music video!"Love is Everywhere" will get its own episode soon, of course, but it's also the other upbeat song Mary mentions in this episode.There are some examples here of Pablo Picasso's skill in figure drawing, different from his later, more experimental work.The shamisen is a cool instrument, but it's not what Nels plays in this song. It's pretty clearly just a slide - but a real nice slide, of course."Low Key" - the Tweedy music video the Mares love featuring Nick Offerman as an ape man and a whole host of other fun cameos (John Hodgeman, Michael Shannon, Mavis Staples, Chance the Rapper... whew!).Here's what a Divvy bike is for any non-Chicagoans.Maybe Lyft didn't originate in Chicago, but it sure is prevalent there.The Marina Towers, AKA the "Wilco Towers"Wrigley Field is a pretty historic ballpark and the Cubs play there.Pat Sansone pops into the Music Box Theatre in the "Everyone Hides" video - the Peter Sellers movie and Wilco album namesake Being There is on the marquee.A Beatles fan site wrote about their Rickenbackers.Here are the Beatles playing "Don't Let Me Down" during their famous rooftop concert.Apparently Paul McCartney has lost his very famous Höfner bass?Certain Sparks Lompoc: where Meredith bought her partner's McCartney style bass.Wikipedia's Beatles timeline lets you know when their last show was, when they broke up, and so much more.If you want to go down a Help rabbit hole... here.And here's a video of the great Jimmy Hendrix. Did you have a Hendrix phase like Mary?McCartney, the first solo Paul McCartney album, is musical comfort food.So is Ram.The Wilco guys running to get to their hiding spots reminded us somewhat of this clip from A Hard Day's Night (minus the being chased part).Here's a sad Ringo scene - his specialty in Beatles films.The Beatles had the best rooms in Help.Some details about the house where all of The Monkees lived together in their TV show.Next week's track: "White Wooden Cross"

If you haven't listened yet, here's "Quiet Amplifier."The other Wilco song that features a present joint vocal (okay, so most of it is unison, not harmony like I said. So sue me!) It's a live performance, too - with Feist. Enjoy!Strumming a snare is a thing! I couldn't find the video of Levon Helm doing it on "I Shall Be Released," by The Band but this drum forum proves that I didn't hallucinate it.That Tom Waits snare detail was also from that Fresh Air interview shared on a previous episode's show notes.All twee drum wizardry speculation aside, this account is abundant proof that Glenn Kotche can do anything.We mentioned Jeff Tweedy's book yet again.We talked about the amazing song "One Sunday Morning" from The Whole Love.Well, look at that! A hearing aid can also be a "quiet amplifier." There's probably another meaning in there somewhere."Everyone Hides" is next!And here's our humble Instagram page. Bye!

Here's "One and a Half Stars," if you haven't listened already.Sky Blue Sky is good.Jason P. Woodbury's Pitchfork review of Ode to Joy."Summer Noon" by Tweedy. Reminiscent of the bass part in "One and a Half Stars," no? Also, how cool is this video!"Quiet Amplifier" - we reference the drum sound in it. And listening to it is your homework for next week.We referenced The Wilco Book again, and quoted Glenn Kotche.Our conversation about online culture made me think of this book called How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy by Jenny Odell, so I've linked it for you.Mary mentions Jeff's experiences with addiction detailed in his book Let's Go (So We Can Get Back): A Memoir of Recording and Discording with Wilco, Etc.

April showers, May grey, June gloom - call it what you will; it’s all sunshine and rainbows this week as we welcome our newest bud to the show, Andrew Pelletier.Together we trace Andrew’s path and evolution as an artist and singer, from being born into a musical family in Chicago, approaching the drums academically (and via Wilco’s Glenn Kotche), writing for his band Minor Characters as well as his more recent solo project Fur Trader, working with Shirk Studios and Spill Sounds, the importance of creating a visual element to accompany audio, and what it means to be patient and to make deliberate choices with our energy.Also discussed: The Pedal Movie’s pending release, Gibson Repair and Restoration Shop, ponchos, Steve Albini, The Nuge being a butthole, Johnny Thunders and The New York Dolls, Hiwatt’s festive 420 amp, and rocking The Sandlot look.Why is the UK so into ham?

Drawing on his trifecta of degrees in math, music and music technology, Tlacael Esparza, co-founder and CTO of Sunhouse, is revolutionizing electronic drumming. Esparza has created Sensory Percussion, a combination of hardware and software that uses sensors and AI to allow a single drum to produce a complex range of sounds depending on where and how the musician hits it. In the latest installment of the NVIDIA AI Podcast, Esparza spoke with host Noah Kravitz about the tech behind the tool, and what inspired him to create Sunhouse. Esparza has been doing drumstick tricks of his own for many years — prior to founding Sunhouse, he toured with a variety of bands and recorded drums for many albums. Esparza’s musical skill and programming knowledge formed the basis for Sensory Percussion. Partnering with his brother, Tenoch, and with support from a New York University startup accelerator, Sunhouse was born in 2014. Since then, it’s become successful with live performers. Esparza is especially proud of its popularity in the New York jazz community and among drumming legends like Marcus Gilmore and Wilco’s Glenn Kotche. https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2021/03/31/sunhouse-tlacael-esparza/

In today's episode of Favorite Songs By, we are featuring not just an artist, but an entire group; a first for this podcast. Hailing from their loft in Chicago, Illinois, Rolling Stone has described them as “one of America's most consistently interesting bands”, and I couldn't agree more. Ladies and gentleman, today we give you Wilco. Rising from the ashes of roots rock band Uncle Tupelo in 1994, Wilco was formed by frontman Jeff Tweedy along with other Uncle Tupelo members, Max Johnston, John Stirrat and Ken Coomer. Their lineup has been a bit of a revolving door over the years, but the music has remained distinct and highly crafted. Categorized as alternative rock and alternative country, they matured into an eclectic indie rock ensemble with a number of critically acclaimed albums to boot. Wilco saw their first major success after a highly publicized dispute with their label, Reprise, from which they were dropped after their 2001 album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was deemed by the label head as “unmarketable”. Wilco proved that there was, in fact, an audience for their sound when they subsequently released the album for free on their website and sold out a string of US shows as a result. They were later picked up by Nonesuch records, sold over 55,000 copies in the first official week and debuted at number 13 on the Billboard pop-album chart. And, in 2004, they won their first Grammy for Best Alternative Album for another one of their more ambitious releases, A Ghost Is Born. Today they have their own label, dBpm Records, and the current Wilco lineup includes Jeff Tweedy, John Stirratt (bass), Pat Sansone (multi-instrumentalist), Glenn Kotche (drum), Mikael Jorgensen (piano and keyboard), and Nels Cline (guitar). Tweedy is a songwriting force and is thought of as one of the best of his generation. Wilco as a whole have redefined the role of record labels today and have truly tested the boundaries of “alternative” music.

In this episode Mike Dawson interviews Glenn Kotche of Wilco. Glenn walks Mike thru his Top 10 favorite solo Drum & Percussion albums. The interview concludes with a segment from his mind-blowing sounds of the world drum solo performance of "Monkey Chant". Then David Frangioni interviews Mario DeCiutiis, Radio City Music Hall Percussionist and Founder of KAT Percussion, makers of the MalletKAT (which Neil Peart used for to get all his percussion sounds). At the end of the segment Mario performs on the MalletKAT. In the Shop Talk segment managing editor Mike Dawson reviews and plays on the Kickboxx Suitcase Drum Set from Toca Percussion.

In this first episode of EQ I talk with Glenn Kotche about not taking yourself too seriously, the importance of please and thank you, feeling like a fraud, the art of doing less and more.Glenn Kotche is an American drummer and composer best known for his involvement with the band Wilco. He was named the 40th greatest drummer of all time by Gigwise in 2008, and has appeared three times on the cover of Modern Drummer. Kotche collaborates on side projects with members of Wilco and others, including an ongoing band with Darin Gray called On Fillmore, cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm, members of the band Nickel Creek, percussionists David Cossin, Tim Barnes and Chris Corsano, and many others.

And now, a conversation and sing-a-long with First Aid Kit!It's been just about six years since First Aid Kit knocked me out with the duo's performance at the Tiny Desk. The two Swedish sisters, Klara and Johanna Söderberg, make remarkable, American country-flavored music. Their latest songs can be found on their album Ruins. That record includes performances by Wilco percussionist Glenn Kotche and former R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, and it was produced by Tucker Martine, known for his work with The Decemberists, My Morning Jacket, Spoon and many others.In this conversation, the two sisters talk about working with Tucker Martine in Portland, Ore. and how his participation helped broaden and empower their sound.But what was so much fun about this guest DJ show were the Swedish songs they brought in and the sing-a-long that seemed to spontaneously happen for every tune they played.

Hear music that begins with classical instruments, like the string quartet, piano, or an orchestra, but which is then augmented, enhanced by electronics, percussion, or preparation. Listen to works by English violinist, pianist, and composer Poppy Ackroyd, Netherlands-based composer Peter Adriaansz, and cinematic music from the augmented string quartet amiina. The versatile Dutch pianist Saskia Lankhoorn plays a specially-prepared piano over a bed of droning sine tones in a work by Seattle-born, Netherlands-based Peter Adriaansz, “Attachments III.” Then, hear music by the Icelandic outfit, amiina, which was once the touring string quartet with Sigur Ros, and has now expanded to include percussion & electronics. From amiina, hear selections from their standalone original live score to the 1913 film Fantômas, that lord of terror, creator of fear, and genius of evil who initially came to live in the crime fictions of French writers. Then, listen to "Rave," music for piano and pre-recorded electronics by Molly Joyce for longtime friend and collaborator, pianist Vicky Chow from her record, Aorta. Also, hear music for percussion and electronics by John Luther Adams, featuring Glenn Kotche, from the long-form work, Ilimaq. Plus, listen to grand music for amplified orchestra by English composer Andrew Poppy from a record released on ZTT Records in the mid-eighties.

In this episode, Mike and Mike discuss Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche's solo drum composition "Monkey Chant." Then they share some ideas for how to apply the exercises from the classic book Stick Control to the drumset. The featured artist is UK session great Ash Soan. Up for review is Gretsch's 5×14 hammered black-steel snare. After [...] The post Episode 66: Ash Soan, Gretsch Hammered Steel Snare, and More appeared first on Modern Drummer Magazine.

On the first episode of this podcast from Berklee Online, Glenn Kotche, the man you know best as the drummer for Wilco, shares everything that happened in between the very first drum he destroyed—at the age of three—to his experimental solo work and how he got behind the kit, playing with Jeff Tweedy. Download Episode!

On this week’s episode Jason P. Woodbury speaks with Nashville-based guitarist William Tyler. As a sideman, Tyler’s guitar work has appeared on records by Lambchop, Charlie Louvin, Candi Staton, Hiss Golden Messenger, Silver Jews, Wooden Wand, and dozens more, but since the dawn of the decade, he’s focused mostly on his own records, vivid instrumental soundscapes which connect country and folk traditions to kosmische musik and ambient soundscapes. His latest, Modern Country, was released earlier this month via Merge Records, and it’s his most expansive yet. With a full band including Phil Cook and Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche in tow, Tyler paints a view of America in all its fractured complexity, evoking beautiful landscapes and forgotten rogue states. The songs act as views from back roads, and even as Tyler eschews lyrics, he nonetheless tells stories with his sounds. Sally forth…

Wilco formed in 1994, and 21 years later, they released their 9th album, Star Wars. In this episode, Jeff Tweedy, the band’s singer and principal songwriter, breaks down the song Magnetized. In addition to collaborating with his five bandmates, John Stirrit, Pat Sansone, Mike Jorgensen, Nels Cline, and Glenn Kotche, it turns out Jeff Tweedy makes an active effort to remove his own ego from the process of songwriting. This episode is sponsored by Vinyl Me Please, Turntable Lab, and lynda.com.

In this Bonus Mini-Episode, Wilco's Glenn Kotche discusses standards and expectations when it comes to songwriting. He also shares what he has gleaned from spending time with Neil Young and Jeff Tweedy.

Best known as the drummer for Wilco, Glenn Kotche is also an accomplished classical percussionist and experimental composer. He talks to Joe about the internal workings of Wilco and how he strives for balance between his many creative pursuits and his family life.

You may have heard of the band Wilco. Maybe fewer of you have heard of the band's drummer, Glenn Kotche. And probably fewer still, know that Kotche is a classically trained percussionist and composer. In this installment of Music is Music, we're taking a trip into Kotche's world through a piece called Wild Sound. The members in Chicago-based Third Coast Percussion approached Kotche back in 2008 to see if he'd be interested in collaboration. The vibe was there from the beginning, but concert performances and world tours with a rock band kind of got in the way. Cut to 2014, when Third Coast Percussion landed an ensemble-in-residence honor at the University Notre Dame. Stars aligned and the scheduling gods carved out time for Kotche and Co. to collaborate, dream up and refine the pieces of Wild Sound. Kotche had the idea to use some of the found sounds he's gathered through years of touring and taking walks in cities all over the world. The skeletal structure of the piece takes us on a journey from nature to city streets. Third Coast Percussion and Kotche also collaborated on the instrumentation used. Much of the sounds coming from the stage are from instruments that are built and evolve in real time while the music is performed. The ensemble assembled their tools and delighted patrons as part of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra's Liquid Music Festival. From a bicycle wheel and ball bearings to sci-fi plexiglass sheets that were wired for sound, the stage was covered with their inspiration, melody and creativity. In less-capable hands, these makeshift instruments could have been a shamble, but Third Coast Percussion were up to the task, and Kotche's composition was transcendent. Check out an interview with the artists and the entire performance of Wild Sound.

Composer, keyboardist and bandleader, Missy Mazzoli, joins John Schaefer to introduce selections from her new recording, “Vespers for a New Dark Age.” The work, commissioned by Carnegie Hall for the 2014 Ecstatic Music Festival, is a 30-minute suite for singers, chamber ensemble and electronics, and is built around text, both spiritual and worldly, by contemporary poet Matthew Zapruder. Mazzoli wrote for the very specific voices of sopranos Martha Cluver, Melissa Hughes and alto Virginia Warnken Kelsey, who all have a lot of experience with contemporary music but also early and Baroque music. Her ensemble Victoire provides dramatic settings while drummer Glenn Kotche (perhaps best known for his work in Wilco) propels the work percussively.  Plus, hear selections from Phil Kline’s millennial mass “John the Revelator,” written for the early/new music vocal group Lionheart and the quartet ETHEL.
