we all, us three, will ride off viva last blues // this should have been in my to 20 of all time favorite records. essential listening, imo

thank you to everyone who has donated to the cause thus far. i was expecting nothing, to be honest, and you guys have been more than generous. thanks again!

i know i just did a oldham post last week, but you know me i’m mildly obsessive from time to time. here he is performing on 10.10.98 in mcminnville, or, kslc fm, a mere two days after his san fran, kusf broadcast.

the whole enchilada

1. intro
2. death to everyone
3. nomadic revery
4. a minor place
5. song for a new breed
6. madeline mary
7. raining in darling
8. another day full of dread
9. i am drinking again
10. apocalypse, no
11. outro

been listening to mr will oldham and his many monikers quite a bit lately. one thing i have come to realize about his music that i didnt when i started listening to him, many moons ago, is that while most of his songs sound absolutely dreadful and solemn they are actually quite uplifting, in a sense. just started to understand this about him and his work recently. anyone else get that same feeling?

here he is as will oldham performing on kusf-fm, san francisco on 10.8.98.

in rar format

1. song for the new breed
2. another day full of dread
3. ohio river boat song
4. three photographs
5. all babies
6. new gypsy
7. antagonism
8. marriage
9. nomadic revery

his most excellent, beware, was released yesterday via drag city.

here’s the video for “i am goodbye” which was directed by leif johnson, and edited by jennifer parsons.
