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.

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.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. And see, I was TRYING to save myself the time of typing it.
(It's like "The Eternal Sunshine of the Way Too Long Band Name.")

The Pernice Brothers are psyched.
Heh, I just got the e-mail mentioning that from the Pernice Brothers list. Pretty neat.
The Pernice Brothers are psyched.
And they gave me a new tagline.
(For the record, it is: "There is no love triangle, love rhombus, nor love trapezoid. There is only love.")
