Jay Farrar

Of all his great songs, this is his best line:
"Mother remains, It provides no more.
It can only take us away.
Southbound you can tast the weather.
Feels like home."

It's my understanding distribution will be via the website with each of us paying for the album or a per song c harge if you don't want the whole album. It's one live show from Seattle this fall. It will be out very soon according to Sharon.

He keeps saying he'd like to do something with SV again. Let's hope so. It seems to me that he's moving back in that direction. Playing with a full band, Eric Heywood joining him again, Jay playing electric some and even a little lead at live shows. It just seems like he's trending back in that dire...

HC-Beautiful. Takes me back to the last days of the SV board. When was the '99? It was getting a little crazy on there towards the end.

I gotta agree with you. There wasn't any publicity for WST or for Sabastopol. This has gotta be the most PR Jay's had since Staightaways. Nice thing is, other than the RS review, every review has been extremely positive. I would expect we'll see a Conan appearance in the near future.

I just got mine this weekend and I'm in Hong Kong, so everybody should have theirs by now.

The last chorus of "Heart on the Ground" when the band is really kicking it is the closest Jay has gotten to really rocking since SV took a break. I love the song but every time I hear it I'm just wishing they'll keep on kicking it through the last chorus.

Good luck Half. Leaving Hong Kong tonight for NYC. Will be at the Bowery on Thurs. Very pumped to see Jay with a band behind him again. Gotta admit I wish Heidorn was on the drums.

Who's going to be at the Bowery July 10th, Thursday? Like to grab a beer if anybody's going.

One thing I picked up on last month is Heidorn did an interview when the UT re-releases hit the stores. He was asked if he'd been playing any and he said he'd started to start playing again just recently. Kinda makes you wonder what go him to get the old kit out again? One can only hope.

Yeah, after the SV board went down, I quit posting. It's good to be back. I'm pumped for the Bowery Ballroom shows! That was the first place I ever say SV.

Any idea on Australia? I'm in Hong Kong now and I'm sure that's as close as he'll come to HK.

It's good to be back HC. Have you seen any of the other old faces around? WE never got to say goodbye to each other when they cut the juice on the SV board.
