holy flip! new bonnie "prince" billy (1 Viewer)

[the departed]

thats the new live one.
when did this appear?
i see that he has the rocked-up version of "master & everyone" on it..
this makes me VERY happy.was the highlight of his vicar st show.
now all he needs to do is play here again...

I saw this in the shop today, but I haven't seen any reviews yet. As soon as someone confirms it's nothing like "Greatest Palace Music", I'll buy it...

it's worse!!!!!

turned it off in work the other day coz it was so terrible. A reminder at how heartbreakingly awful that vicar st show was.

Where's that thread gone about bands that were once great, but are now crap? The last few Will Oldham releases have been dire. Superwolf had some great stuff though so I'm holding out hope that he'll get back on form.

well his next one is the covers album with tortoise, which might be dodgy..
but here, i thought Vicar st was great..
but its my understanding that your first will oldham show is always the best..??
which releases do you think were crap btw, exluding GPM?

Not the first time I saw him, twas himself and Pajo doing the score for Nosferatu. Twas ok, nothing outstanding or anything.

I think 'The Brave and the Bold' looks like it'll be great;
01. Daniel (Elton John)
02. The Calvary Cross (Richard Thompson)
03. That's Pep! (Devo)
04. It's Expected I'm Gone (the Minutemen)
05. Cravo e Canela (Milton Nascimento)
06. Some Say (I Got Devil) (Melanie)
07. Pancho (Don Williams)
08. Love Is Love (Lungfish)
09. On My Own (Quix*o*tic)
10. Thunder Road (Bruce Springsteen)

goodtimes if the cover of 'That's Pep' is anything to go by;

Can one of you subscribers start a Will Oldham/Palace poll? (And any other monikers if you please)

 

[Franco]

That tortoise/bonnie prince records has been postponed until january.

 

[tim]

It appears he has a collaboration record with tortoise out now.

Is "Greatest Palace HIts" the same as "Palace Music" "lost blues" or whatever its called?

The problem with BPB sings Palace Greatest Hits is, that if you really love the originals - especiallly the Days in the Wake stuff... well it's just unlistenable to. It just sounds like a bizarre ironic K-Tel in joke. Lost Blues is the real deal and there's no argument.

that devo one is quality. looking forward to this.

 

[japeo]

that devo one is quality. looking forward to this.

that tim mc graw cover, "just to see you smile" he did on the temporary resisdence e.p is really cool. the rest of it was a bit ropey.

 

[the departed]

aye the devo one is mad. i like it.
i think the greatest palace music threw some people as it was billed as a "bonnie" prince album..
he shudda devised another moniker like palace "willy" music or bonnie "bum" oldham or something..
but i like it. good ole fashion cuntry yeah!
that guy reeks of prolific. but he's bound to throw out some ropiness here and there. and when he does, HE DOES.

have to say, I really like Greatest Palace Music

version of Gulf Shores is really lovely on it

and the ragtime I was a cinematographer is great

was cool to see him pull of a straight faced Nashville record with all the deadliness, and schmaltz, that brings with it. Made an interesting case for the ethos that if the song is strong enough it don't matter what you do it'll sound like a good song
