Singles Only: Palace (Will Oldham) - "Gulf Shores"
There are a lot of songs that try to capture the essence of a place and fail. This song succeeds despite and because of itself.
Leave it to Will to cram insinuations of both incestual and homoerotic flirtation into just one verse. Can't a beach just be a beach?
if I whisper nothings in your ear
will you pass them on to him?

i'm sure you've noticed, but bonnie prince billy's on daytrotter this week.
Thanks, and funny you should mention--I just got back from a friend's house and we listened to the set as Georgia concluded their ass whuppin of South Carolina. I hadn't heard it yet. Good stuff.
love both those tunes. what's the title of the song that has something about watching the women go and "who has the blues? not i!"?
Man, I had to Google that one: http://pry.com/pulpit/lyrics/marriage.html
I'll try to track it down and post it.
What's the name of the tune where Will tells the subject that he "is going to fuck him because the fuck is humiliating" or something?
edit: i looked it up: "Sucker's Evening".
Truly creepy.
