anyone know what that song was in NY?? -- JR, 18:43:05 02/07/03 Fri
There was a song he did during the solo acoustic set in NYC at Irving Plaza. It was so beautiful and there was a huge hush over the crowd as he sang and a group sigh when it was done. I wish I could remember the words but I can't...any help??

Best of Oldham? -- Anonymous, 04:22:17 08/20/03 Wed
Hi to you all.
I discovered Oldham when Master & Everyone came out, then bought the previous two Bonnie Prince Billy albums (they're all brilliant)... one web search later I discovered that this man has about 1000 records to his name, he's even collaborated with the legend that is SMOG(!!!)
So I was wondering if you kind folks could tell me which of his albums are worth purchasing and which aren't..?

I have 6 mos to pay 4368.93$ or ill be put in prison for 2 years. I am not a bad person, I just made a mistake and i need a little help to get through this.

sales -- jkirk, 11:18:29 05/19/03 Mon
Very prosaic question, but I'm continually amazed at the lack of mainstream media attention Oldham gets despite the fact that nearly everyone I know is absolutely in love with him and has numerous records, myself included. So does anyone know how many records he's sold, or where I can find such information? Thanks

What's Your Favorite Color? -- Chauncey Gardner, 20:54:33 06/24/03 Tue
I've been listening to a LOT of Will lately and have just discovered how badly I underrated the Ease on down the Road cd. Careless Love is a great song, and At the Break of Day should have been a radio smash hit. The cd booklet is also top notch. Have to delve deeper, ie listen to about 10 more times tonight.

Felidae -- Evan, 04:36:56 04/13/03 Sun
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone here has heard the Felidae CD that was produced for the Cedarhill Cat Sanctuary a number of years ago. It contains a live version of Blokbuster and I've been totally unable to track down a copy of this. If anyone knows how I could get this CD or is willing to trade a copy of the Palace track on it I'd be very grateful. In return I have every single Oldham track officially released, bar Blokbuster Live and Carolyn (which came on the Japanese version of 'Ease Down the Road'), so lot's of rare tracks. Again, any help much appreciated.

let's chat re: Master & Everyone -- Jaag Al-Faaza, 09:49:35 01/31/03 Fri
i'm not surprised to see that the new album is another spectacularly unique statement. it might be the single saddest statement committed to acetate. the end of the album, the moment of resolve i'd call it, where "hard life" goes into a bridge which really ends up as more a coda, he sings: "but I aint breathin'/ let me breathe/ let me go, let me leave/ I don't know but I might lose/ I might bum, I hate to blow a fuse." it's sad, but it's a uniquely complex take on relationships, and the art that comes out of them.

Will's guitar -- Nick, 08:14:37 12/03/02 Tue
Just seen Will at the Beyond Nashville festival at the Barbican in London. It was amazing - 5 piece band including the 3 oldhams - rock versions of quiet songs, quiet versions of rock songs, and even Blockbuster and Gitanjali as well. Does anyone know what kind of guitar Will uses? Is it just a half or 3/4 size acoustic, or is it a cross between a banjo type thing and a guitar?
cheers y'all (as they probably don't say in Loiusiana)

ease down the road - have i been screwed? -- neill, 18:40:06 05/15/02 Wed
hello,
i recently bought "ease down the road" from an internet record shop (townsend records). but when i got it, weirdly, it played fine all the way through, from start to finish, but when i tried to use the "skip track" function, ie. to play specific tracks, it just spun and spun in my stereo, all the while making a horrible grinding noise. i sent it back to townsend records, but they sent it back to me saying that all the copies were like that and that they had been in touch with domino records and had been told that all the copies had been deliberately mastered like that.
now, i now that Will O can be a bit perverse sometimes, but i find it hard to believe that he would release a cd which only plays straight through and which doesn't allow you to skip tracks. so has anyone else had this problem with "ease down the road"? is it correct that every copy has been matered so you can't skip tracks? or should i be asking for my money back? any advice would be appreciated.
cheers,
neill

hi everybody,
Im a huge Will Oldham fan, but have not seen him live in years--and only once. Has not come around the Athens, Atlanta area since the I see A Darkness tour. Does anyone know if it is possible to get tickets for any of the january / febuarly shows over the phone or any other method. I would like to drive up to DC to see him but I dont think I can get tickets over the phone through the Black Cat. Any suggestions would help me tremendously, as I am assuming he probably will not come to Athens, Atlanta in the spring.

Live Recordings -- Dave, 12:32:23 12/03/02 Tue
I've been listening to some live material on the Palace MP3 archive and found the Munich show from April 8, 2001 to be exquisite. The recording is excellent- Will's voice is up front and clear, and what sounds like a Fender Rhodes is played throughout the show making for some beautiful versions of the songs. Are there any "classic" Will Oldham recordings floating around out there?

2 New CDs (1 w/Will, 1 w/Bob "Cubano" Arellano) from HAVANARAMA -- Klonoe, 03:55:02 12/04/02 Wed
Hi. I'm involved with a small U. S. label called Secrete Eye and I'd like to announce two grassroots music projex with Oldham relevance:
1. "Rock the Blockade": In the spring of 2000, Will went down to Cuba with Seor Robert Arellano (Havanarama), David Pajo (Papa M, Zwan, Tortoise, Slint) Peter Townsend and brother Paul Oldham (both longtime players for Will and members of Speed to Roam). Will plays keyboards and sings live on songs by all, including his own "No Gold Digger" and "Madeleine Mary." Check out rocktheblockade.com for more info, and order from secreteye.org, whose webmaster calls the CD "Wild and raw." Only students and artists are allowed to visit Cuba from the USA - the Havanarama "supergroup" took advantage of this in order to ROCK THE BLOCKADE.
2. "Havana Club": Longtime oldham collaborator Bob Arellano's first full-length. Eleven tracks of electronic-tinged indie-Latin ballads. Order from havanarama.com, where you can also download a free MP3.
Hasta la victoria siempre,
Klonoe

saw bonnie prince billy 4 first time lastnight. and now i have somequestions. -- sam, 18:43:50 10/05/02 Sat
i saw bonnie prince billy 4 the first time lastnight. i was wondering, do very many people dance at these shows ? i felt that the crowd was a bit disrespectful. oh yeah the show was in kentucky (usa). i felt a connection with the music off and on. there were alot of people chit chatting and drinking alcohol. lots of cell phones being used during the performance. i kept hearing people talking about how they thought will was a very imbalanced person b/c of the way his eyes looked and his supposidley crazy stage presence.
i personally felt offended by these comments but let them slip into the chatter noise. it seemed like the band was so full of energy at first but then at times things seemed to drag a bit. i started to wonder of the effects the crowd had on the music. or if these things even effect this particular band.
i felt that certain individuals did not want me there. i felt like some were offended that i was dancing. perhaps i should explain a bit about myself to give a clearer picture.
most people cant place me in a general stereotype of style or tastes. i dont want to be identified by a group or by the things i take interest in anyways so that all works out well. this might not be a point of any significance in most cases but it may be in this situation, i wear birkenstock sandles. im 27 years old.
i have very eclectic tastes in music and most other things in general. for example some of the bands i love: the grateful dead, jerry garcia band, garcia & grisman, the cramps, dar williams, suzanne vega, widespread panic, joan baez, palace/bonnie billy, the dead milkmen, culture, israel vibration, thrill kill cult, lords of acid, bob dylan, i think you get the point.
one thing that i believe most of this music has in common are things like the raw purity of music, and honesty. i feel like music is a very spiritual thing that invokes dance, and if taken far enough trance.
i felt so excited to see wills band. drove three hours to do so ( this is a common thing for me to do, often driving farther to see bands and calling it vacation ). i love music.
i guess i was taken by suprise with some of the aspects of the crowd though. i have always felt that wills music is sentimental and timeless. i always felt that he seemed to pour himself into the music in a deep way, full of feeling. i guess what i am asking anyone who reads this is what has your individual experiences seeing this band been like.
i always felt that this music would draw a crowd that fit the music in some way. im not saying this crowd did not, but i seem to have been taken by suprise. most of the bands that i have seen seem to have had a dance culture within the scene. with people coming together for the music. the crowd at this show seemed to stare blankly at the band while remaining very still and focused on watching william.
commenting at times about how crazy he looked and how that was just so wild. i felt like i had to equip myself with an invisible sheild to keep from overhearing comments about myself having a good time enjoying the music. it seemed like alot of fashionable sad people drinking and commenting on my dancing as if it were uncool to dance to music.
i shrugged off the verbal arrows and sunk into that place where it was just the music and the energy. i felt at times the crowd may have prohibited the music from going beyond a certain point. is this just my own interpretation or has anyone else experienced this music in different settings amongst different crowds and noticed any differences concerning the quality of the performance ?
i have seen other bands for like eight shows in a row on a single tour and noticed differences between certain crowds locations and venues.
i will go back to see this band. i am curious to have something to compare my first experience with. i was also curious as to how will felt about some of these issues but didnt want to approach him for fear of seeming too pretentious. i felt like who am i to pose such questions about something i have only experienced once. with only my other music relationships to compare it to.
i will admit most of the music scenes i have involved myself with have seemed more open to diversity. seemed more accepting to a larger variety of individuals.
i would like to hear what others have to say on this topic. are there valid points here or am i just a nowhere man who must learn that i must identify myself and conform with a certain group of people to be accepted in this world (or is that just the american way at its finest).
my girlfriend felt similarly. we wondered if people were there for the music or if they were there to be involved in a cool underground scene that was being infiltrated by dancing terrorists.
i had a great time shaking off the the ills of life through dance but for the first time i felt like i left a musical experience with more ills than i came with.
i know this had absolutely nothing to do with the music or the band. mostly the crowd. i just couldnt go see this band i have been listening to for four years and not get a groove on. we just recently got a computer and before that i had no way of knowing how to find out about wills bands shows. now that i can access the info i actually have the option to see his bands. its nice.
thanks for reading this. take care, be safe.
