Jay Farrar

Oh I don't discount Bush's religious views, just the idea they are based on the Book of Revelations. I think he views himself more as divinely appointed and his decisions having God's grace and all that pompous paternalistic bullshit.

..I think a lot of it really is a war for oil, I think a lot of it is inspired by Bush's right wing christian fundamentalists interpretations of the Book of Revelation. I think a lot of it is cause his father failed to take out Saddam in the 90s. I think very little of it has to do with "Terrorism"...

in the cah:
Broken Social Scene -- You Forgot It In People
Broken Social Scene -- Feel Good Lost
Neil Young -- On the Beach
Jason Molina/Songs: Ohia -- Axxess and Ace
The Rapture -- Echoes
Joy Division -- Substance

God forbid that Jay offend the finer sensibilities of some people.

Predictably:
Rolling Stones
Neil Goddamn Young
Tom Fucking Waits
Bob Dylan
Gram Parsons
Townes Van Zandt
Leonard Cohen

Not-so Predictably:
Nick Cave
Broken Social Scene
Interpol
Modest Mouse (thought their last two albums are meh)
Elliott Smith
Jim White
Sun Kil Moon (Red House Painters)

Talking about Tweedy on a Farrar message board is like talking about Bush on a Kerry message board. If you identity yourself as partisan your opinion automatically doesn't count.

Anyone download the new album? Any reviews?

Got my tix. I'll definitely be leaving early Thursday.

People were pretty responsive to this show. Various moments of standing applause after nearly every song. About the only people who I witnessed that were not enjoying it was the couple sitting behind me talking throughout Greendale. The same couple who, upon the second half of the show, objected to ...

Milla Jovovich would be my choice.

And Greendale was just amazing... even better than the second half where he played some old tunes.

So I got free third row tix to see Neil Young tonight.

I don't think it gets any better than that.

I was listening to Straigtaways and decided to check out what Farrar was doing lately and came to the jayfarrar.net. I was ready to buy the new album until I saw the quote from Jay, about the old name for the label ACT/RESIST: "It's got the feel of socialist revolt, too." To paraphrase Frank Zappa,...

I'll tell Jay you stopped by.

but we dont necessarily get to choose which ones...

Yeah. Except for the String Cheese Incident and a couple other subpar jam bands.
