GLOBAL RHYTHMS Ashes of American Flags: Wilco Live

Wilco fans rejoice: Jeff Tweedy is happy. The movie documents Wilco's winter 2008 tour, with stops in Tulsa, New Orleans, Mobile, Nashville, and, of course, Washington's own 9:30 club. The last time the band was glimpsed on film was 2002's I am Trying To break Your Heart, which documented the stressful gestation of the magnificent Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Since then, Tweedy has quit smoking, realigned the group, and embarked on a period of creativity that has included a trio of well-received records as well as the singer-songwriter's own live solo acoustic DVD Sunken Treasure: Live in the Pacific Northwest. That film, as well as Ashes of American Flags, was directed by Trixie imprint founders Christoph Green and Washington's own Brendan Canty, drummer for Fugazi (when's the hiatus over, guys?). Ashes of American Flags rocks on the big screen.—Eddie Cockrell
