Bilgewater-- Brown Bird

Just got into these guys. Unfortunately it seems the singer/guitarist just died like a month ago. Dude was only 35. Fucking leukemia.

Probably about 50% of the time. A lot of the time the wife is sleeping so I don't listen to loud music, but if it's during the day like this I like to hear all the different stuff. I'm basically a rock-and-roll baby, but I'm not narrow-minded about it, so country, folk, jazz, classical, it's all good. Even the weird oriental stuff that Quirk posts is really cool sometimes.

Anyway, here's what I was listening to this morning before I went to bed:

That was recorded in 1994, so Judith was 51 years old there, but still hot.

Elephant-- Jason Isbell



This song is pretty great. Goddamned beautifully sad. FYI Isbell is formerly of DBT, one of my all time favorites. It's good to see him with his own great music, though.


She said "Andy, you're better than your past"
Winked at me and drained her glass
Cross-legged on a barstool like nobody sits anymore
She said "Andy you're taking me home,"
but I knew she planned to sleep alone.
I'd carry her to bed, sweep up the hair from her floor

If I'd fucked her before she got sick I'd never hear the end of it
She don't have the spirit for that now
We just drink our drinks and laugh out loud,
and bitch about the weekend crowd,
and try to ignore the elephant somehow

She said "Andy, you crack me up"
Seagram's in a coffee cup
Sharecropper eyes, and the hair almost all gone
When she was drunk, she made cancer jokes
Made up her own doctors' notes
Surrounded by her family, I saw that she was dying alone

But I'd sing her classic country songs and she'd get high and sing along
She don't have a voice to sing with now
We burn these joints in effigy and cry about what we used to be,
And try to ignore the elephant somehow, somehow

I've buried her a thousand times, given up my place in line
but I don't give a damn about that now
There's one thing that's real clear to me: No one dies with dignity
We just try to ignore the elephant somehow, somehow

Heard this one on the new show The Leftovers. Show was absolute shit but this song is pretty badass. Some good riff-based blues rock.
