Friday night, Wilco wrapped up a short European tour with a gig under Portuguese skies in lovely Porto. And in just two weeks, they begin the last US leg of The Whole Love Tour with a 2-night stand at one of America's most gorgeous venues -- Red Rocks in Morrison, CO. From those epic Colorado nights through the end of summer, most of you will have one last chance to see the band for before they downshift into the semi-hiatus of recording mode for much of 2013. Tickets for shows from Brooklyn to Berkeley, Duluth to Davenport, and Cooperstown to Columbus (not to mention the Hollywood Bowl and more + dates in Europe) are available here.

In other news, we've got a couple of new releases from our friends at dBpm Records. (Well, actually those "friends" are us… but don't tell.) First up is a digital book that chronicles December's "Incredible Shrinking Tour of Chicago". Those of you who were lucky enough to get a ticket to one (or more) of those 5 shows in 5 venues will love this little visual/musical scrapbook. And those of you who missed it can relive it vicariously via iPad. It's chock full of photos, posters, backstage videos, etc. And best of all: it's free (but you do need access to an iPad) and available here.

Also out this week: a sweet version of "Dawned on Me" en Espanol. It's called "Me Avivé" and you can get that here. (Not free but definitely a bargain). Bueno.

See you under the stars this summer.

The HQ Crew.
