Ashes of American Flags

I reviewed the new Wilco concert film for the DCist. Take a look and, sure, I'll just go ahead and say, think about picking this up: You won't be disappointed.

One thing that struck me during the Q&A afterward is that Brendan Canty made a point of saying that the people who worked on this film are largely or all from the District. As if he were making a point about labor law or stimulus funding. I love that artists here care so much about this city; it's easy to forget but in my experience it's really unique.

Bob Boilen was sitting right behind me in the theater! Here is what he twittered afterward: "Is Wilco the best band in America? after seeing Ashes of American Flags, I'm sure of it. watch a clip and decide." Indeed, click click.
