I'm going to see Bonnie "Prince" Billy in April...
what the hell should I really immerse myself in? I've always enjoyed his stuff, but haven't gotten into his catalog with any depth.

That's cool that you're going to visit me and all. I'll buy you lunch, buddy bud
|
i first got into i see a darkness, but i'm no expert.

the first rule is that most things palace are better than most things bpb
get lost blues and other songs (singles comp by palace music), then viva last blues, then there is no-one what will take care of you then maybe joya i see a darkness anyway, i'm sure you have that already. other bpb albums are only good for one or two songs each |
well, if you want to know what to expect live, you might want to check out "is it the sea", or "summer in the southeast".
|
He's awesome live.

Thanks for the recommendations though....yea I see a Darkness is great edit: nevermind, I found it. |
bonnie prince billy is the devil's music.
|
Lost Blues is great! Thanks for the recommendation. I don't think I would've really checked Palace Music out.
|
it's one of my favourite albums of all time

i saw him last year, he played all (then) new songs from Lie Down in the Light, and then i see a darkness. i was kinda disappointed, but a good experience all in all.

he isn't, at least he didn't use to be
|
I wasn't sure, since there are tons of "Oh Lord"s and "God"s in his lyrics.
|
I'd say yo also give Viva Last Blues, I see a Darkness, The Letting Go, and BPB Sings Greatest Palace Music a listen to get a very good idea of his catalog.

Great versions, maybe even superior to their Palace counterparts. |
the original version of horses is one of the top 5 will oldham recordings, fuck, maybe one of the top 50 recordings of all time for me
how dare you take the lord's name in vain |
how can you prefer this
to this that makes me sad man |
i think the only thing Oldham really to avoid is that thing he made together with tortoise

Seriously, the second version/video of horses is so fucking great. It basically has all oldham elements i love so much. The ramshackle chords, the lyrics, his voice breaking and cracking. Beautiful song.

this is why i often feel ashamed to say i like will oldham. i like him for entirely different reasons than most people. i think stable will is probably his defining work (both versions)
|
I don't like him! Take that!
|
are you on some sort of crusade against the things i like
to destroy the little bit of positivity i present on this board |
fuck him and xiu xiu.
and alastair cuntbreath. |
