A note to fellow fans of the rockin’ band Wilco: tonight, at 11:00 PM EST, there will be a live streaming of the band’s entire new album called Sky Blue Sky, set to be released May 15th!

I’m extremely excited for this, not only because Wilco’s one of my favorite bands, and this will be their newest album in almost two years, but also because Wilco realizes the power of the internet for distribution and garnering hype — something the rest of the music industry largely doesn’t. It’s groundbreaking for a band themselves to put a pre-release copy of an album on the net, and my hat’s off to Wilco.
