I'm still a bit shocked.
I'll be in my bunk.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I haven't heard back from my bro yet -- he may have passed out, himself.
t edit And I'm now listening to the Coltrane/Hartman CD, and lamenting that a superior recording of it exists BUT I CAN'T GET MY HANDS ON IT. Curses!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
it feels somewhat heretical to then suddenly turn around and say, "This sextet version is even better." But there it is.
Woo. Gave me chills reading that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What are people's feelings on Songs: Ohia? Because "Farewell Transmission" is an awesome song.

I downloaded Axxess & Ace off of emusic a while back and wasn't impressed. I thought he sounded like Neil Young at his most boring.
But, I then I downloaded Magnolia Electric Co.'s What Comes After the Blues (not realizing it was the same guy) which I like much better. It's a full band and his voice sounds much more confident. It's much more country-rock than other stuff I've heard of his. Still very Neil Young-esque but not so boring.
One thing you can say about Jason Molina, he records a lot. A lot. A lot.
Now playing: Lots of Richard Buckner. At the moment, Since. It's a super rainy day here and Buckner and rain go together just about perfectly.

Oh hey, tina, I downloaded two CYHSY songs on your recommendation. I like the music a lot, but I'm not sure about the singer's voice. But it's certainly dang hooky, which is a point in its favor.

I'm not sure about the singer's voice.
Neither was I - but it grows on you. And the hooks - like CRACK they are. The best song on the album, imo, is not on their site for download. It's called "The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth" and I think the album is it worth it just for that. I've had to take a break from it though, I was overlistening. (because - crack!)

I've never listened to any Neil Young, but "Farewell Transmission" is off the Songs: Ohia album...Magnolia Electric Co. It's with a full band; I think you'd like it. At least that song, can't say anything about the rest of the album.

:: weeps for p-c's deprived ears::
If you ever see After the Gold Rush or Everybody Knows This is Nowhere in a sale bin and feel like experimenting, they are great places to start and worth every nickle.
but "Farewell Transmission" is off the Songs: Ohia album...Magnolia Electric Co.
I am adding it to my emusic waiting list this moment.

Or Rust Never Sleeps or Zuma, which are also heartstoppingly great NY albums.
