Musical Interlude
This hot tip comes from Alec Niedenthal. Apparently, indie rock demi-god Jason Molina–of Songs:Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co. fame–has already got a followup record to this summer’s striking, and (I thought) underrated, Josephine. The new record is a straight-up collaboration with Will Johnson of Centro-matic (and the current drummer for Monsters of Folk). Molina & Johnson will be out November 3, from Secretly Canadian. There’s a biggish interview with Molina at Pitchfork, which contains all this information and a whole lot more, including that they’re planning to tour for the record.
Could this day get any sweeter?

This is insanely great news. I love Jason Molina and Will Johnson.
Molina is the fucking man.
Thanks, Just.

I barely know Johnson. Will you recommend a Centro-matic album as a starting point?

Oh, hell, yes: “All The Falsest Hearts Can Try,” with “Navigational” a close second. It’s hard with him, because he’s released like 9,000 records, under Centro-Matic, South San Gabriel, Will Johnson, and maybe another name. But “Falsest” is my favorite. I always had a soft spot for him because he was one of the few indie guys who’d actually play College Station, Texas when I lived there.

My emusic just rolled over too; trying to figure out what to get. The new Clientele, definitely. Any suggestions? I am indecisive.

New Mountain Goats. I haven’t listened yet, but the theme is right up my alley. What else do you listen to? My favorite thing about emusic is all the old folk shit- I was a member for almost 2 years before I downloaded anything contemporary. Mike Seeger- True Vine, is a gem. And basically every New Lost City Ramblers album. The Leadbelly Folkways stuff. Newer/moderne- the Pine Hill Haints are my favorite country-punk band. They’ve been with K Records for their last few, but my 2 favorite releases of theirs are Those Who Wander and the Bury Your Hate In A Shallow Grave EP.

justin–john darnielle’s my all-time fav, and the new album didn’t really do anything for me. there’s one or two songs that are breathtaking, but the others i can take or leave. the first time i’ve ever felt that about a mountain goats recording.

What is the what? Check out The Squirmiest Blackwater Buffalo by The Cocksure Myopics. Or Murphy by Brown– the single “Anal Anagrams” will cramp your style.
Anybody in the mood for hugs besides me?
