Last night, Wilco unveiled a new song on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report. Titled "Wilco the Song," a subtle nod to a too-famous plumber, perhaps, the Report exclusive features the lyric "Wilco will love you baby" and a similar shout-out to Colbert, who concludes, "Nation, that is a number one hit!" You can watch the performance online at colbertnation.com. You can also catch a pre-performance interview between Tweedy and Colbert at the show's site by clicking here.

Tomorrow, Jeff and band-mates John Stirratt and Pat Sansone head to Madison, Wisconsin, where they will play a free, ticketed Concert for Change in support of the Obama campaign at the Union Theater. Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold and Representative Tammy Baldwin will speak at the noon event, after which Representative Baldwin will lead audience members to the polls to take advantage of the state's early voting system and can cast their ballots.

    When Brad Mehldau and his Trio—Felix Moseholm on bass and Jorge Rossy on drums—performed at the Nancy Opera in France for the Nancy Jazz Pulsations festival this past October, ARTE was there to capture the concert. You can now watch it here. "Brad Mehldau is without a doubt one of the most influential jazz pianists of recent decades," ARTE says. "What makes Brad Mehldau truly unique is his playing, constantly constructed in contrapuntal mode, where his hands engage in intimate dialogues or engage in passionate exchanges."
