Cassius Clay was hated More than Sonny Liston Some like K.K. Downing More than Glenn Tipton Some like Jim Nabors Some Bobby Vinton I like 'em all
I put my feet up On the coffee table I stay up late watching cable I like old movies with Clark Gable Just like my dad does
Just like my dad did When he was home Staying up late, Staying up alone Just like my dad did When he was thinking Oh, how fast the years fly
I know an old woman Ran a donut shop She worked late serving cops Then one morning Babe, her heart stopped Place ain't the same no more
Place ain't the same no more Not without my friend, Eleanor Place ain't the same no more Man, how things change
I buried my first victim When I was nineteen Went through her bedroom And the pockets of her jeans And found her letters That said so many things That really hurt me bad
I never breathed Her name again But I like to dream About what could have been I never heard her calls again But I like to dream
recently, flagamuffin had a great post asking a simple question favorite lyric?. I've started the #lyrics tag and thought I'd start it off with a great song from Sun Kil Moon called Glenn Tipton. Hope you enjoy the lyrics and the song.
I saw SKM on tour for this album. He was solo acoustic though and all I wanted to hear was the electric crunch of Salvador Sanchez. That, combined with the fact that he was pissed because so many people were talking during his set, made for a pretty awful experience. No matter. Still love Ghosts as much today as I did in the 03.
Did you think he was justified in his pissed-off-ness? Did he lay down the law, Tweedy style?
He was completely justified. The crowd was ass. He told them to "shut the fuck up" but it didn't really help.
this is my favorite sun kil moon song, foremost on my "dream karaoke" ipod playlist, and possibly my favorite song from either "them" or the red house painters. mistress is a real contender though. interestingly, i learned of mark kozelek's projects back in 99ish, when my then band co-founder described my voice as like unto his. it's never sounded a close fit to me, except around the edges. but the feel of the tunes is downright family. one of my favorite musicians, no doubt about it. thanks for calling it to the surface!
I can hear the similarity in the voice, for sure. We ought to listen to more music together when I visit instead of me clamoring on and forcing you two to participate in podcasts :)
Would love to do some dedicated listening soon! That's one of my favorite things I used to do all the time that I never do anymore. Bon Iver is playing in the background as I type though, and that's really massaging my soul, even while I'm paying it no active attention. We can take a break from podcasts if you want, but not for long! We've really been enjoying the process, and getting to be a part of the experience. We were both agreed on this after watching the new episode. Nice work, by the way! I like the visual harmony with the accounts. Props to Steve!
Yes, props to steve indeed. Alright, good, I am glad you two are getting annoyed by the podcasting. It's nice to have some in person interviews/conversation happening on them. Ah... Bon Iver, good stuff. I met the drummer in Durham once. Nice guy.
That guy has an album out? I remember seeing this version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps posted here a long while back and thinking "holy shit, that's amazing". You ever watch the Scorsese documentary on Harrison? In it, they mention that George travelled around with Ukelele's in the trunk of his car so he could give them away to people. -So cool. PS. Harrison would have loved this version. I should know, my dogs name is "Harrison". -Kind of makes me an authority.
I haven't seen that, I don't think. Yeah, Gently Weeps -- good dinner party music, but the first track is definitely the highlight.
It's worth checking out if you're a Harrison fan
