Dan Wilson ran around the Peavey Plaza this morning with a bunch of little kids. It's so bleak with the water turned off, but also really fun to explore and play in. Last night's Replacements tribute gig was inspiring in many ways - Caroline Smith was especially great on "Androgynous." Adam Levy likewise on "Unsatisfied" (classic... Replacements - blatantly unfinished yet wonderful.)
Dan Wilson is going to appear in concert with his brother Matt Wilson in their first duo show ever, March 26, 2010 at the Pantages Theater in Minneapolis. Watch this space for information on fan pre sale next week.
Dan Wilson is going to sing "Answering Machine" in the last set of the big Replacements tribute at First Ave tonight. I think it will be a fun night.
Dan Wilson is now on a full-on Elvis Costello tear. Thank you Mary L. Maybe my bpm's will come up a little bit. :)
Dan Wilson drawing the alphabet for my website, fun, tedious; I'm also drawing lots of black and white pen images for the site. Small drawing of a pump organ the best so far.
Dan Wilson and yes, I do love the song "Trash" from Sesame Street.
Dan Wilson still thinks that most people enjoy being lied to more than being told the truth. Like Sinatra: keep it coming, please, lie to me like you mean it. Same with the rumors and "movements" our country (nation?) is sprouting so fruitfully - I think people love rumors because of their falsehood. Lies are way more sexy than t...he truth, which is often dirty and dingy and dusty.
Dan Wilson is loving: Darin Back's photos, Jeremy Messersmith's green website creed, Augmentin, Mo Willems, Brad Kern's Gram Parsons playlist, playing the piano.
Dan Wilson a little kid in a "Scream" Halloween mask and little black robe scares me every time. Maybe it's my Norwegian heritage.
Dan Wilson going into Halloween with the first real winter cold... always a surprise. Been listening to "Bone Machine" by Tom Waits - maybe I'll be able to sing like him over the weekend.

Dan Wilson
seems to be a "Secret Buddhist." Here's Steve Marsh plying me with alcohol and making me sound intelligent in the subsequent edit. There are two parts.

senior writer Steve Marsh chats with Grammy Award-winning musician Dan Wilson about his tour, songwriting, and what it means to be authentic.
Dan Wilson read the book "Snow" by Orhan Pamuk on the plane back from Amsterdam. Amazing. I loved its portrayal of the artist's mind. Not always pretty.
Dan Wilson is back from Brussels and Amsterdam. Brussels, new to me, seemed amazingly beautiful and magical. Amsterdam I already know and love. At Ancienne Belgique, in Brussels, the crowd listened with heartbreakingly silent attention. At Melkweg, in Amsterdam, they talked loudly throughout my set just like people do at The Fine Line in Minneapolis. Still a great trip.
