Jay Farrar

This tune doesn't get enough love here. After the short rockin' Automatic, Meth, classic L Train, Cigs and Highway, JF closes the album with a soft sad drumless tune. I think it's a closer mirroring Slow Hearse's open. The chord changes do somethings Jay rarely does...Fmaj7, a well placed DM-G-Gm th...

no prob Carter.
Its really immaterial...teh artwork...I'm sure we're a no frills kind of bunch...the music is everything.

Still, I loved the Okemah artwork...Straightaways...but I've been struggling to get this cover and feel it mighta been different.

Its not my album...its Jay's

I'm just sayin'...

DC we're discussing Jay, we're discussing the new album so I'm asking about the cover and back..the artwork on the album. Thats what I wanna discuss...and we've heard a couple of different things here. should I stick to the what we're drinking or what temp threads?... I hadn't seen a discussion on t...

I was the knucklehead that said something to the effect that Meth was the greatest anti-drug song ever...hate to hear it said that way..best ever...but was hoping some might disagree and say Needle NY 's better because or offer other alternatives...

ie tell me I'm full of shit...

Someone predicted right off that it'd be a show closer for y...

I think the world of Jay as an artist and always give him the benefit of doubt when I don't understand something. Thanks Bozeman and co...anyone else can add to this...Like JF? Its still not clear to me, with the dark background and all.....my problem I guess...I know what Buddha looks like...I do l...

I'd have liked something different on the artwork...without really looking closely, the cover looks like a mask or something strange..............


this whole thing should have been 1960's-like....impressionist....lots of colors....life....and the recent look of Jay.


Thanks Sony, or whoever....

this is alll Kafkaesque. 10000 copies sold? $20 tickets in LA 4/3 and @the Vic on 4/10? Brian H says its nothing special? What am I missing? Thank you Jay for making the soundtrack to my life. From Anodyne...Trace...Straightaways...WST...Sebass...Terrior ...reforming SV II and now this...The Search....
