WIll Oldham needs a shave.

HONOR THE BEARD, ALEX!

I actually want to hear this pretty bad...sounds cool...

What track does he cover?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 6 August 2004 18:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Frankly, I have my doubts.

THE ROGER ADULTERY APPRECIATION THREAD F/K/A I've just heard the best and most disturbing noise track I've heard all year

Wait'll I tell Wifey!!

I' ve not heard this but I have vague memories of hearing about it and I think it's Is This Love.

As long as it's better than the Pat Travers Band version, I'm in...

Ned's holding out for a Jandek cover of Peter Tosh.

it's "Babylon System," btw, but he also throws in some Nilsson for good measure. It's GOOD I tells ya!

What label is this on?

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Friday, 6 August 2004 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

i haven't heard it but i know it isn't because II-IX is the most beautiful song of all time and there is no way that this can be better.

how does one go about buying this?

― matthew james (matthew james), Thursday, 12 August 2004 22:32 (twenty-one years ago)

It's a tour-only EP... I would love to hear this. Damn it. How is "Brightblack"? (which is a really cool band name, I think)

"Lullaby" - has Oldham ever done anything with an electronic beat before? This is crazy (and fantastic)

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 13 August 2004 01:40 (twenty-one years ago)

American Gothic Disco

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 13 August 2004 01:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Brightblack's first song ("I Kill Therefore I Am") starts off with a Phil Ochs clip and slips into a Oldham-esque (but dirtier and dronier) dirge. Very promising.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 13 August 2004 01:46 (twenty-one years ago)

for 'lectrics a single from last year, 'happy child'/'forest time' was done with tweaker and is electronic and great. also, arise, therefore, obviously.

― matthew james (matthew james), Friday, 13 August 2004 19:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, he had "Today I Started Celebrating Again" on Grand Royal's "At Home with the Groovebox" comp.
