pleasant, especially compared to the stuff he's released in the last seven years. sigh, i'm repeating myself.
David Pajo is with him on that one.

PALACE SONGS (end of) travelling
.
bought at maybe the second best record store i've been at in my life:
you'll get a special gift if you can tell me the (sadly defunct) store's name...
mr. Oldham plays on this 7inch under the Pushkin Will moniker. essential facts, i know.
listen.

Here we're sharing this boat
One hull which threatens to crack
We have a good thing

BONNIE 'PRINCE' BILLY southside of the world
.
a Will Oldham classic.
the essential ingredient to this song: a concrete hope that doesn't fear to be dashed.

BONNIE BLUE BILLY little boy blue 2
.
elegant despair - not as semi-drawling as in his recent releases, but far far away from the Days In The Wake blackness.
a unique moniker for this release.

BONNIE "PRINCE" BILLY black dissimulation
.

sweet ill health has hidden from me,
events about which one has no memory.
whether it is to protect or deny
one is not told and one asks not why.

WILL OLDHAM in my mind [David Allan Coe cover]
.
what a song. oh my god.
a cover version, but Will makes it all his own.
i'm repeating myself, but compare any of my Will Oldham-posts, this one included, to the stuff he's been doing since the Master and Everyone album. ísn't that a pity?
and i'm an open-minded person, you know.

part of the comic-split-7inch-series.
pure fun.

SUNDOWNERS tonight will be fine [Leonard Cohen cover]
.
from one of the really obscure Will Oldham -related releases - Sundowners' Goat Songs ep. on Sea Note, one of Drag City's sub-labels. No names on the poorly printed cover.
bought at Esoterik, a Montreal reference in the old days. they knew what they were offering( = a true ebay-gem), but refused to charge a corresponding price. instead, they insisted on not selling, but rather listening to it.
good people.
what a cover-version. appropriate despair.

PALACE SONGS gulf shores
.
non-moody Will Oldham at its best. as far as i'm concerned.
between the Days in the Wake and the Viva Last Blues - period.
no attitude, no posture.

PALACE come in
.
Will Oldham was, for many years, my hero.
not anymore.
when this 7" came out, he was Bill Callahan's brother in mind.
and today?
let's not talk about the present.
