a downbeat assessment from Palace Music. happy valentine's day to all y'all
Must be the only recorded version of a Gregg Ginn song with fiddles. This Black Flag cover was a good choice by Ryan et al. on this excellent early Whiskeytown disc. Happy Monday everyone.

I think Adams also covered this song by himself on the Rise Above Soundtrack. That solo version was much more raw (w/ less fiddles) than this one. Gotta find this one now.
check out the energy on this early Husker Du cover of the Byrds song. Bob Mould adds a shredding guitar and visceral emotion

I love this song. I'm not sure exactly what it means, punks and hippies-wise, but it rocks.
The first time I saw Husker Du, at the late, lamented Jockey Club in Newport, KY, they played this song and many people in the audience wouldn't stop "slamming" (that's what we called it in those days), and they kept knocking the microphone into Bob Mould's teeth. So he changed the words from "Eight Miles High" to "This Crowd Sucks." Rock and roll!

i just read that this is bonnie prince billy before he came to be known by that name. was palace music very different from what he's been putting out more recently?
Wasn't aware of them.Enjoyed the listen ever so much.Thanks for posting.Your Mog Bro.~ (;Yrral Mallik;)
palace music is will oldham, aka bonnie prince billy and the music is very similar to his earlier stuff under the bonnie prince billie moniker, not as polished as his more recent material
