Jay Farrar

Amen to that! I always look forward to Jay’s next big news. Happy birthday, Jay!

One of my all time favorites. Kinda wanted to get it on Vinyl but it was ridiculously priced. I very irresponsibly splurged on the vinyl some time ago — it’s just too good not to have in my collection. A *phenomenal* record, one I feel like went mostly unappreciated at the time of its release — the...

I second that completely. Reading the book *after* familiarizing yourself with the album highlights just how incredible of an artist Jay really is. It also illuminates just how much Jay’s writing outside of this project is, and has long been, influenced by Kerouac and other Beat writers. It’s fun to...

The link doesn’t seem to work, and I can’t find it through search terms. Can you share in another format or with a functional link? I would *really* love to see/hear this. Thanks!

Exciting stuff, for sure. I imagine (and HOPE!) this means “Give Back the Key to My Heart” will be a mainstay on the set lists for a while. Woot!

https://youtu.be/HpimxQEqyN4 I’ll admit I didn’t know much about Laura but after I heard her voice with Jay I went down the rabbit hole, she’s fantastic and check out who she’s playing with on this song! Nice find! I’m sensing her as the opener on the upcoming Son Volt tour, and a segment of the sh...

https://youtu.be/uC9XkGQNF5E Love this one!!! It is splendid! On a separate note, the lack of communication on this board — not to mention the lack of enthusiasm — is really disappointing. Why does this forum even exist anymore? We used to have such fun. And by golly, it’s certainly not the artist’...

For anyone curious... I’ve confirmed with the folks at Fast Atmosphere that there will be no substantial difference in the various vinyl pressings of the new record. The traditional black vinyl, the translucent red vinyl, and the opaque tan vinyl (indie record store exclusive) will all be the same w...

Anyone know if the vinyl version of Electro Melodier will include a digital download as well? This has been done for past releases, but haven't seen it mentioned for EM... I don’t know for certain, but I imagine so. I’ve found that the folks over at Fast Atmosphere are pretty quick to reply if you ...

I went on a Disney cruise for my daughter’s 4th birthday a couple of years back and I may have never had more fun in my life. Not even kidding. Now, had Jay and the rest been on the boat, damn that would’ve been awesome. Mickey hats and all.

Muddy Water Finds Its Way is on Spotify. It's really good.

Good god in heaven how didn’t ‘Muddy Water’ make its way onto the record? Fantastic.

Sure feels like we’re due for a big announcement soon. I know Jay said back in the summer/fall that they were working on a record (and of course released a song or two during that time). Then ... radio silence. Anybody have any inside contacts to whom you can inquire? The Mark Spencer?

This is lovely. Thank you for sharing. This loss has hit me particularly hard. I’ve had a lump in my throat and haven’t been able to listen to anything but Justin over the last 48 hours or so. The ‘Harlem River’ and ‘Nothing’s Gonna Change...” records are two of my all-time favorites.
