Jay Farrar

Jay Farrar with Andy Duplantis, The Kessler Theatre, Dallas TX, tonight.

First, I love it when y'all put up your top last year lists. I've gotten into more great music from this board over any other lists anywhere since I've joined. Anyhoos, here's my list: Grizzly Bear - Painted Ruins In This Moment - The Ritual LCD Soundsystem - american dream Queens Of The Stone Age -...

We were close but we never made it home
We could see what we had and we let it go
Now it's miles away and cast in stone
Now we're miles away and casting stones
There's a fire
There's a fire on the road
It's a cruel world that lets us go

I had to vote for The Search, basically because the bonus track version has like over 20 songs (with SV, more is always better), but after casting the vote I realized I love HT more. It's hard to pick out a favorite album from Jay and Co. Each one is like its' own living being. I found that I never ...

drool...drool...and even more droooooool. March will be such a good month.

I've taken no offense to this post. I'm a newbie by board status, but I've loved Jay and Co. a few years now. I was hoping for some links of new stuff played LIVE, but that's okay. I'm buying this album no matter if the apocalypse dawns...as I'm sure ya'll wil too.

Wow, I missed some great albums (fuckin great!) in 2012. I listened to a lot of what you cool cats mentioned. This is what's grabbed me for the last few weeks. Father John Misty - Fear Fun Absolutely continually love this. Cory Branan - Mutt OMFG this is awesome. I can't stop listening to this. Than...

It's not funny, my ass is on fire
Paraplegic, inhuman liar

Carve a smile
On your face
Everything's great
Suffocate

Thanks Texas Tom, hope to see you there!

Thank you kind sir! Oh yes, the Sons of Herman Hall show is what I have my sights on. I was thinking of going to the first night of Old Settlers', and then truckin back for the Dallas show the next night (but damn it'll be pricey).

I love best albums lists. Personally, I thought it was a bit of a weak year for great albums. I'm hoping to have my mind changed in the next couple of days. You fine peoples will be turning me on to the greatness I missed, no doubt. Here's my list (couldn't even list 10). 1. Alt-J - An Awesome Wave ...

Okay, admittedly I'm a bit of a newbie on this forum, and I must've missed something. On the home page, it stated that tickets went on sale January 16th, yet there's no links to buy tickets? All of this being said, I wasn't even able to access Son Volt's (or jayfarrar.net) since I was notified on Ja...

Great review of the new album! Like everybody else, I can't F'n wait! March is going to be an amazing month for music and April even better when they play my area!

Oh I'm still living
At the old address
And I'm waiting on the weather
And I know you'll pass

I know that it's true
It's gonna be a good year

On promenades where drunks propose to lonely arcade mannequins Where ceremonies pause at the jewelers shop display Feigning casual silence in strained romantic interludes Till they commit themselves to the muted journey home And the pool player rests on another cue Last nights hero picking up his du...
