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 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 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 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.

Give a listen to the new Howie Day CD... There's a track on there called ''Everyone Loves To Love A Lie''... Simple, brilliant, and true.

Hey Dan, are you being straight with me? 'Cause I like what you say, but it tells me that I like lies... I get so confused!

Dan Wilson a little kid in a "Scream" Halloween mask and little black robe scares me every time. Maybe it's my Norwegian heritage.

Me too and I got a little bored with the scary Halloween music so the kids were greeted with cranked up Dan Wilson. One kid said "WHAT is that?"

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.

Oh, I've always felt that in your music. Probably why I love it so much (i'm an "out" Buddhist hahaa)! On a related note, that"Karma" cocktail Steve is drinking sounds damn good!

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.

Dan Wilson now has just a few more shows before Nov. 1, when I start recording my next album of songs. Jumpy. A little breathless.
