i haven't spent a lot of time with "have fun with god" but "ride my dub" is pretty great, those spacier middle tracks on "dream river" are better suited for the dub format than the folkier tracks that open and close the album

I love the cover painting. Apparently it's by someone named Paul Ryan. Can anyone link me to a page that actually is about that Paul Ryan and not one of the 500 other artist named Paul Ryan?

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

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

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.

Where the fuck did he disappear really?
It's been a long while since the last album.
― nostormo, Sunday, 3 December 2017 16:46 (six years ago) link
didn't he just play a few shows recently? bet there's a new record in 2018.

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

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.

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.

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)
