Can’t and don’t want to detach this album from a very specific time in my life. Obviously relatively recent, but still. It’s warm and it makes me feel like drinking a beer as the sun goes down on a Sunday afternoon.Want a new album.

hopefully another one with 'river' in the title because those are top drawer

I've belatedly come to Bill Callahan fandom, but I still think of him as a strange lovechild of Michael Gira and Garrison Keillor.

Still feel vaguely embarrassed about the time I saw him at a screening of his documentary and I caught him in passing and said something useless like “Hey, I love your work and thanks for doing this” and shook his hand with a totally gross, sticky hand that I recently spilled beer on.

Totally. I live in some of these songs.

Where the fuck did he disappear really?
It's been a long while since the last album.

― Susan Stranglehands (jed_), Sunday, 3 December 2017 16:57 (six years ago) link
Yeah he's played some shows here and there.
He doesn't even have an official website apart from the Drag City one, is that correct?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 3 December 2017 16:58 (six years ago) link
he's played a few shows but he also got married and had a kid
― marcos, Sunday, 3 December 2017 17:48 (six years ago) link
Isn't he with H4nly Banks any more? They married some years ago iirc
― Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 3 December 2017 17:52 (six years ago) link
(oh you mean since the last record, gotcha)
― Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 3 December 2017 17:54 (six years ago) link

― Susan Stranglehands (jed_), Sunday, 3 December 2017 18:22 (six years ago) link
Wow had no idea about the marriage n kid

She filmed the 'Apocalypse' docu about him.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 3 December 2017 18:45 (six years ago) link
Was that ever released? Is it any good?
― Moodles, Sunday, 3 December 2017 18:49 (six years ago) link
xp Oh I knew they were a couple, came up at the screening. Didn’t know that it got that serious.The doc is great, yeah. Assume it’s out in digital/Blu-ray/DVD format.

this is the only one I unambiguously love the whole way through, inc smog, though I haven’t heard all of those
― sciatica, Sunday, 3 December 2017 19:03 (six years ago) link
I've heard and enjoyed just about everything he's ever done but I wouldn't hesitate to say that this one is my favorite.
― cwkiii, Sunday, 3 December 2017 22:16 (six years ago) link

I discovered this album earlier this year and have been loving it during lockdown. This week I discovered the dub versions, which have taken my love to a higher level. Strong feeling of John Martyn circa "Small Hours".

Have Fun With God is so good--I went straight for it and never looked back (mind, not that it's precisely the same thing but I likewise love No Protection and never listen to Protection proper)
