Wisco: A Tribute To Wilco’s Summerteeth — a music compilation featuring our favorite Wisconsin artists each covering a track off of Wilco’s 1999 LP, Summerteeth.

I am honored to provide you with our labor of love. The state of Wisconsin is overflowing with musical talent. So much more than could ever be captured in just one compilation like this. That being said, I thought about the records that meant the most to me. Ones that I absolutely could not live without. That record, for me, without a doubt is Summerteeth. But this creation is more about the musical talent within our state lines fleshing out these songs and making them their own. This compilation shines a bright light on Wisconsin’s finest by way of one of my favorite records.

The tracks are available for free as a high-quality digital (320kbs MP3) download/stream below, or grab the whole thing as one zip file. This project would absolutely not have been possible without the amazing help of every one of the musicians showcased here. Big thanks also go out to Dan Brielmaier for creating the artwork and Justin Perkins for mastering the project.

This is our gift to you, please enjoy it and share it with your friends. We would love for you to show your support of this project with a donation in any amount to the Wisconsin Humane Society. There’s tons of animals that could use our help. Thanks and enjoy the music.

A.A. Bondy returned to a packed Club Garibaldi in Milwaukee last night. This time through he was backed by band that rounded out the material he’s been religiously touring on since the release of American Hearts. This was also the first time he officially brought material from When the Devil’s Loose. It was a pretty damn fine way to spend a Tuesday night.

Our friend Erik hooked us up with a video of solo Bondy on “Rapture (Sweet Rapture).” from last night’s show. In case you missed it, check out the basement session of “Killed Myself When I Was Young” from the same location, captured in June on Bondy’s previous Milwaukee stop.

A.A. Bondy will play the High Noon Saloon in Madison on Monday, February 1, 2010. Tickets are $10 and available here.
