Preliminary trepidation include wondering how much solipsism one can take, especially if it isn't ones own....
Shipped: I Am Trying to Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco:
Shipped on 02/09/05.
Photographer turned director Sam Jones started filming experimental rock band Wilco as they recorded their fourth album, "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot," which has since been released to critical acclaim. As depicted in the film, however, it was a tumultuous time (the band nearly broke up). This documentary captures both Wilco's music and the story of how the band weathered through the storm to release the album under a new label.
Update: this movie was better than I hoped. Tweedy is a kindred spirit, and the emotional texture of the movie played well against the music of Wilco. Jay Bennett got a little tripped up by his own ego, I wonder how he's doing now?
