Rush Never Sleeps, Plus the Complete Album Guide Epic bands have come and gone, but Rush are here to stay.

Click below for a sample of the feature in the current issue of Rolling Stone, which reveals the band’s insider-only nicknames and what they think of Pavement’s “Stereo.” Also click below for the complete Rush album guide, from their self-titled debut to this year’s Snakes and Arrows Live. • Rush Never Sleeps • Rush: The Complete Album-by-Album Guide [Photo: Dan Winters]

Wilco Plan Spring ‘09 Release For More-Sculpted New AlbumWilco are eyeing a Spring 2009 release for their next album, Jeff Tweedy told an Albany, New York radio station. Whereas their last album Sky Blue Sky was recorded under almost jam-session circumstances, Tweedy says the band will “allow ourselves a little bit more leeway in terms of sculpting the sound in the studio and doing overdubs and using the studio as another instrument. Last time around, it was more of a document.” Wilco are already performing a pair of new songs live: “One Wing,” which is reportedly reminiscent of Sky Blue closer “On and On and On,” and the looser, riff-driven “Sunny Feeling.” While Tweedy said following the release of Sky Blue Sky that those studio sessions resulted in a number of unfinished songs, it’s unclear whether those tunes will be the basis for the band’s seventh album.
