Wilco frontman turns journalist

added: 26 Jul 2007 // by: newsdesk 

Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy has made a career detour into music journalism.

Writing for the New York Times, Tweedy has penned several paragraphs on his favourite bands, claiming that he always wanted to be a rock critic.

Speaking to journalist Winter Miller, the singer explained: "I'm probably the only person that wanted to be a rock critic and failed at it and started a band."

In the feature, Tweedy goes on to voice opinions about five bands: Dr Dog, Grizzly Bear, Battles, A Hawk and a Hacksaw and Panda Bear.

On Grizzly Bear, he writes: "I read a lot about this band but resisted based on the snide expression on a couple of their faces in a magazine."

On Panda Bear's album "Paw Tracks", he adds: "The easy critical shorthand to describe it is a Brian Wilson-Phil Spector-influenced wall of sound, but it's much more trance inducing than those polished pop nuggets.

"It's more like girl-group music or Beach Boys music as meditative, droning mantras. It's a fantastic record."

Meanwhile, in other non-Wilco-related activity, Tweedy recently guest starred as the Voice of God in the Comedy Central cartoon "Lil' Bush".

Other musicians to have appeared in satirical cartoon include Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Iggy Popand Frank Black.
