Jay Farrar

Great show last night at the House of Blues Parish Room. Same setlist in basically the same order as previous shows. Anyone record it? Think I heard Jay say that he wrote most of the Trace record living on Hickory Street in Nola. Band sounded tight last night, pedal steel sounded real good He did s...

Does not get any better than Windfall. Perfect song.

Sun Kil Moon's GHOSTS OF THE GREAT HIGHWAY is the greatest album of the last 15 years imo. Just a truly inspired piece of work.

Dcarter, you're all excited b/c you think you've uncovered some contradiction and you're all proud of yourself, huh? Well, try again. I do indeed think that Farrar, the Boquists, and Heidorn are the real Son Volt. The only Son Volt. Those 4 guys created the name, the band, the sound, the songs - not...

dcarter - What's the interesting part about that list?

I enjoy Spencer's guitar playing a great deal BUT based on all that he's written on this message board it's safe to say he's a total fucking douchebag. Its really too bad. But he and Farrar deserve each other. Two ogres. Farrar showed what he's like when he couldn't get along with the guys in (the ...

Pretty much every NFL commentator has stated that Superbowl 44 was a fantastic football game. It was indeed.

No particular order: Neko Case - Middle Cyclone Son Volt - American Central Dust The Avett Brothers - I and Me and You Jay Farrar & Ben Gibbard - One Fast Move Pete Yorn - Back and Forth The Black Crowes - Before The Frost...... Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3 - Goodnight Oslo Drive By Truckers - The ...

Because he was a jerk on so many of them?

This reminds me of that episode several years back when a fan at a Ryan Adams concert shouted out "Summer Of '69". Adams then had the guy escorted out and gave him back his money for his ticket. Adams was quite rightly excoriated for his childish response. Farrar flipping Weir off for shouting "Twee...

Rick V and Mark Spencer in happier times ... Jay and Mark played an unbelievable show tonight. I'll give details later b/c I'm sleeped deprived at the moment but I will say that the final encore , a cover of George Harrison's "Love You To" from REVOLVER, was one of the very best most inspiring soni...

Mark Spencer came off as far more of an ass than Bob Weir. Spencer, stick to playing lead guitar in Farrar's band. Beyond that, you're clueless. Weir, don't go to any Farrar shows for the forseeable future. You said "Tweedy is gay! - and, as per Spencer and Farrar, that qualifies you for psychiatri...

These boys from Denton, TX rock, my friends. Will Johnson is a songwriting genius. When is Farrar gonna tour with Centro?
