    you’ve got to love how they start off quiet, then they turn up their guitars and just blow your head clean off. they played with such abandon, it takes a really special band to make 3 chords sound like that.

    The real truth about it is no one gets it right

    one of the closest things to a modern Neil Young. great loss.

    • @DaveAnchovies
      @DaveAnchovies 3 роки тому +3

      i dont think its fair, but live...definitely a devastated Tonight's The Night vibe. (which is my favorite Neil Young album...so many great songs built on real devastation and loss), i find Molina the most honest and real songwriters of his generation, alongside Greg Cartwright of Reigning Sound/Oblivians...from two different worlds, alone with a guitar...nobody comes close. Yes, there are better looking, better beards and bigger names, but nothing close. Cartwright survived and has found an audience outside the garage scene, Molina i discovered late through his loose and perfect live performances with this band, notably the Trials and Errors 2xlp which looks like ive had it for 30 years and moved backwards to Songs:Ohia. like the comment above, he was doing it his way and, Cartwright who has dodged major labels for years, finally found a home on Merge. Both can do it alone or with a band and both found a way to be future legends. If you have heard them, they probably mean a lot to you. If you are not aware of Gregs stuff, Reigning Sound (Break Up Break Down, Home For Orphans, Time Bomb High School, Too Much Guitar, Love and Curses--his work with Compulsive Gamblers--notably the double live lp, and a brand new lp are mostly flawless, but his solo stuff is no less powerful and pretty easy to find around here. I find a coolness in both of their "could care less about being cool" attitudes, real suffering and timeless songs.

      i guess but you know what? i kind of wish this guy didn't drink himself to death. great musician, great song writer, if he gave it up and just led a comfortable life in oberlin or whatever, tending to a vegetable garden, and not recording again, i'd feel a lot better about it. some old hippie said it's better to burn out than to fade away, which is bullshit. growing old an watching all your enemies die, and then making wax of their statues, and burying them, is the best.

    No me puedo creer que estuvieras en Lleida y que no tuviera una especie de epifanía que me hiciera ir corriendo hacia ti tras el concierto a decirte que estamos de tu parte. Empiezo la mañana con Spotify, veo la escoria que la plataforma selecciona para mí como música del momento y pierdo la fe en este mundo que eleva a los altares a verdaderos oligofrénicos y permite que gente con tu talento pase de puntillas, como pidiendo perdón, y completamente inconsciente de su descomunal talento. Fue un detalle por parte de Kevin Morby que te homenajeara. De hecho, Morby es uno de los portadores de tu increíble legado.
