Wilco has combined with King Features for the first hand-drawn Popeye cartoon in more than 30 years. Check out Darren Romanelli’s vision for “Dawned on Me‘!

This Gizmodo post is evidence that we’re ever closer to a virtual irony where even the “House” is no longer needed!

If you love Wilco as much as we do you’ll love hearing and seeing the boys play an unplugged set at NPR Music this week.
