Jay Farrar

Yes, great show. Loved the dueling steel guitars.

(keys a bit overpowering during TSE). OMG. That is the best post I've ever read on Jayfarrar.net. Now that I know things are finally working out based on my diabolical, ego-driven plan to eventually turn Son Volt into a synth band, I am back on the forum! Oh, and for the record, I play steel on Met...

Jay/Son Volt always have great shirts. However, they only had a handful at the Chicago show last night and none of them were bigger than a large. Not great planning for trying to move product.

Chaos Streams makes my top 5 Jay songs. Bandages, Afterglow, Gramophone, Atmosphere, Who, Six String Belief are all candidates for my Jay top 10 list, depending on the day. I think Okemah is right up there with anything he's done, including Trace. Lyrically, Chaos Streams ("from the dying dust, a m...

Hey Bigb, thanks for your testimonial.

Why was this thread dug up anyway? Most people around here are fans of both Jay and Jeff...

Has nothing to do with Jeff or Jay. I just thought it was weak that there are a bunch of people making fun of Via Chicago based on just about nothing.

Via Chicago is vastly superior to this message board. No offense. It's also one of the best administered on the net. If you feel better poking fun of "those" people, have at it.

"Easy on Yourself" is Jason's song. The new album is phenomenal. These guys have yet to dissapoint. See them live if you ever have the opportunity.

Great songwriter/performer. Most of his albums are very solid. East Nashville Skyline and Happy to Be Here are my personal favorites. If you've never seen him live, you should.

Agreed. "Shoot Out The Lights" is my personal favorite but the guy has just released a ton of great music. Completely original in his sound and he plays the guitar like nobody else. If you can see this guy live, do it.

I believe Letterman's issue, and mine as well, is that O'Reilly and others have a very dismissive and condescending attitude regarding other's views. Whether you agree with Cindy Sheehan or not is a moot point. O'Reilly is a fucking moron and Letterman was calling him on it. These jackoffs like to s...

Here's some more background in today's Meter (Chicago Reader): http://www.chicagoreader.com/TheMeter/060106.html Thanks again, BSHQ This article says that Jay is headlining at Fitzgeralds. Isn't he coming on prior to Robbie Fulks and only playing an hour set? I'm looking for a looonngg Jay set so I...

I'm normally pretty open-minded. I also generally feel "to each their own". That said, if you listen to what these dipshit pundits say, you are a fucking moron. Rush and Bill O'Reilly are "entertainers". Not good ones but they are entertainers in the worst sense of the word. Entertainers similar to ...
