@popvulture that Chicago Sessions was another of your recs that got a lot of spin by me last year. Will check out the Ty Segall record too

@anodyne said in Music:

Any Will Oldham/Bonnie Prince Billy fans?

Very much so. I am the only one whose favourite album is Greatest Palace Music. That version of Gulf Shores is one of my all time favourites. I See a Darkness is such a beautiful album. One hell of a songwriter.

[Daysleepers]

There are two clear outliers there. I cannot abide pop music, unless it’s a swooning sad lady.

More wrapped stats. Wilco heavy this year because I went to 2 shows and my son loves these 2 songs. Panda Bear is all @GraemeE

@SKT imho the best side project to come out of the animal collective crew

Glad you dig

Ironically I just looked and #3 on my list was something you had suggested to me a while back

[SKT]

@GraemeE man thats a great song…love this list too

@Daysleepers @anodyne 1000%

Lost Blues and Other Songs is my favorite of his so far. "West Palm Beach" and "Horses" on there always gives me epic feels, and "Ohio River Boat Song" is a great opener. I love how unvarnished the whole thing is.

@popvulture were you in Mississippi when he played Jackson (Martin's) and Hattiesburg (Thisty Hippo) in 2004? Those were fun.

[Daysleepers]

@mclaincausey yes!

I got into Oldham as a teen when my uncle made me a mixtape of sad American music. I have a lot to thank him for for that, had Smog and J Tillman as the other standouts.

Bill Callahan, David Berman and Will Oldham are all in a group in my head. Chuck them in with Tweedy and maybe Isbell, and they’re the defining songwriters of my life.

Here's an odd one.
Listened to their old albums while strolling through London yesterday. Made the whole experience pretty surreal, but highly enjoyable.

@Tago-Mago thing is... That doesn't do it for me. I was drawn by the illusion you created with your name... I remember when I first listened to Can Tago Mago, Speed Record shop, Ayr, Scotland c.1978. 'Mushroom' blew my mind. The percussion was seminal stuff. Love that band... and many others. But not this

[Tago Mago]

@Makarwise my forum handle is intentionally misleading in that I love krautrock (and prog and punk and many other genres), but my formative years musically were mainly spent listening to metal

For anyone getting into Geese this is awesome.
