Wilco:Sky Blue Sky streaming again plus bonus DVD announced

One more chance to hear the new Wilco album in it's entirety on their website at: http://wilcoworld.net/sbs/ on Monday, April 2.

Also, they have announced they are releasing a deluxe edition of Sky Blue Sky that will include a DVD. Here are the details:

as part of our ongoing effort to rock the homes, offices, dorms, and internet cafes of America and the world -- we're starting another on- demand stream of Sky Blue Sky on Sunday night at 12:01 a.m. Central time and continuing it non-stop for 24 straight hours. Make a note of it.

also, we've just decided to release a "deluxe version" of SBS which will include a DVD feature film by our good friends and cohorts Brendan Canty and Christoph Green (Sunken Treasure, Burn to Shine). Over the last year or so they've been filming rehearsals, interviews about the record, behind the scenes stuff, etc. and have put together a 48 minute film we're calling "Shake it Off' that we're confident you're gonna dig. Look for more information about it here soon. Preorder it here.

More dates for June (mostly eastern half of North America) will be on the site next week. So be sure to check back.
