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.
