A good old fashioned bloodbath
On Halloween Eve”
As if this lazy Sunday couldn’t get any better, Kimya Dawson just tossed up a MySpace bulletin with more videos than I know what to do with from her recent show with Daniel Johnston. Kimya began the Olympia Free Choir – an all ages, no experience necessary and no audition choir – and they were present to back her on the tune that made me initially fall in love with Baribeau’s music, “Ten Things.” More videos after the jump including Dawson backing Johnston on “True Love Will Find You In The End” and Johnston playing drums on Dawson’s “Being Cool” which may be the most powerful live experience ever to transcend Youtube. Critics toss a lot of shit to the Dan Johnston live experience, but these videos genuinely prove that the only pieces of unappreciative hipster trash at these shows are the critics themselves for being so condescending towards the intimate connection that Dan creates. Oh, and my internet is up to speed (for now) so forgive my excitement which will certainly lead to an excessive amount of posts.
paul baribeau – ten things
daniel johnston – hate song

“a new song. regardless of what people think of me or expect from me- it’s all just therapy. progress- not perfection.”

The Moldy Peaches – Who’s Got The Crack
Maybe you’ve seen the Jeffrey Lewis stickers around Williamsburg? Well, if you’ve been curious as to who this christmas colored mystery man is, he is one of you. Lewis is an anti-folk artist from New York fitting into a genre somewhere between The Moldy Peaches and Why?. Actually, he has collaborated with Kimya Dawson and gone on tour with Adam Green, both of The Moldy Peaches. If you’re having a slow Tuesday, but some Jeffrey Lewis and the hours will just fly by. His most recent release is an album entirely of Crass songs rewritten to fit his anti-folk style. Crass is an old British punk band whose lyrics still ring true today.
