Jay Farrar

"Shot and a Beer" will always be a fav...and "Man of Sin" is what turned me onto Varnaline [well actually it was seeing 'em open fopr Split Lip in '99 that did it!] but it's harder, more Space Needle-ish. I agree that "...Northern Key" and "Sweet Life" are masterpieces and also quite accesible.

I suppose I am prone to expect perfect sound quality when I know the sound Jay and the band are making is exceptional -- why shouldn't it be transferred to our ears as so?... Especially difficult to swallow was when we were treated to a guitar solo by Jay, and yet his sound wasn't very distinguisha...

Namaste Y'all,
i'm sure i'll be able to figure it out from the dat, but my deck'll be in the shop for the next week+, so if anyone gets a chance to ask [or better yet, hear again] what this tune was that they played here in Flagstaff on 9.14.05 i'd be quite thankful...

A Nick Drake song? Anyone know what this is? Scott and me couldn't figure it out... I thought "Five Leaves Left" but i really don't think that's it. Before soundcheck i asked if they still played "Cortez" and got the shaking of the head...perhaps there's a new cover thrown in to each new tour leg??...

I got it from their sound-engineer at the end of the night after load-out.
I'm never one of those Bastard-swipe-the-list-before-the-encore-leaving-the-bandmember-clueless-about-what-to-play-next kinda guys

Namaste Y'all, first time poster here. I don't think any discussion like this can continue w/o knowing the room equipment[how's this for a newbie attiturd ;) ] Did the house-console suck? Was the room always subject to muddiness / heavy on the low frequencies due to poor architecture? At the show in...
