Straight from the gutters of Alberta: by Ted Stenson
If I grew up in the 80's in Singapore and knew what was good for me I think I would have been a huge Van Halen fan. I guess they are doing a new tour with Diamond Dave. I just hope they come to Calgary and that the tickets are reasonably priced. Also "Jump" will make you better at basketball, just ask any of the people I fucking blazed in high school.
Ted sent me this song a little while back. I had only heard a snippet before that, and as far as I knew, nobody had a full, clear copy. So, thanks Ted.
This shit is the official "The 90's Are Back!" jam.
So not mad at that. I actually was around for the 1990's.
My crew was very prosperous, the Yankees were gathering championship rings and The Nutty Professor was my favorite movie.
I probably would have hated Juiceboxxx though, it was all about Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life and It's Dark and Hell Is Hot. No room for ironic white boy raps. Oh how the times have changed.
Will Oldham has gone by the names Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Palace, Palace Brothers, Palace Brothers, Palace Music and Palace Songs.
When in a group with Matt Sweeney, they went by Superwolf.
When filling out his 1040 forms, Oldham is said to use the name Carlos Luis Jimenez.
That last part was a lie. Will Oldham is one of the best song writers living today. Not a lie. (Johhny Cash would agree, if he wasn't dead. He performed Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's "I See a Darkness")
The original "Non-Murked" edit of this song runs at 8:23. Imagine all of the shit that you will get done having saved like, four and a half minutes of what is essentially nothing/buzz/faintly distant clatter.
Mostly stuff that you were all too lazy* to find out about.
Old things. New things. Borrowed and blue things. I figure that I'll sometimes write a lot. Sometimes just a photo and a song. Sometimes silence and a song. Because sometimes they're just better that way.
