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.
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.

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.")
Gang of Four interview & performance.
This one is billed as "A Bill Frisell Collaboration", which to my way of thinking is rather misleading as he isn't on the show. It's Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez. Granted they're promoting an album they recorded with Frisell, but Bill isn't in the studio! Playing the part of Bill Frisell (no pun intended) is John Platania, who to me (& I'm willing to bet to David), will always be "Van Morrison's guitarist John Platania."
There's a Richard Thompson one, too, which I haven't listened to yet. The page has a link to Linda on Fresh Air. I must have listened to this but don't remember. She's talking about David Thomas. No, I haven't heard this. (Though I did see David Thomas open for RT once at the Bayou. I think it was the Bayou. I saw RT at a bunch of places in and around DC. Anyway DT did a spoken word/performance art thing. 'Tweren't my cuppa tea.)
ETA: Linda's mother was "Vera Love, Specialty Dancer." I bet Georgie took her out on his spree.
Oh, dude, if I were the Pernice Brothers, I'd be psyched, too! That's a catchy little tune they wrote for him, too -- just reading the title got the chorus going in my head again.
Jon, I'm loving having the BoC podcasts! Except it's weird to hear the voice of someone I know on my iPod. I know the sound is coming from my earbuds, but part of me expects to see you walking down the street next to me when I hear you....!
