Bearded shut-ins, rejoice, for Bonnie “Prince” Billy ne Will Oldham will be giving publicists a marketing nightmare with a beautifully bizarro release on Drag City, titled Funtime Comedown: too weird for CD format. The vinyl- and digital-only full-length live-in-studio album Funtime Comedown will be credited to Bonny Billy and the Picket Line; the Picket Line, of course, being a Kentucky blue

"MissBreadCrumb":CH made a post which got me thinking about all of you and what tunes do you listen to when you roll out of bed and head off to work.For me it depends on what type of a mood I'm in, but I've noticed that there are a few consistencies. ??Ease On Down The Road?? by Bonnie "Prince" Billy is an album I put on a lot in my mornings. There is a song on that album called "Knight At Nigh...

Remember the Beatles tune "Hello Goodbye"? Lyrics go something like "You say hello, and I say goodbye."Adding to his music catalog another song that starts with "I am..." (see "I Am Cinematographer" and "I a\Am Sky"), indie singer-songwriter and Allen Ginsberg beard thief Bonnie "Prince" Billy has invented his own 21st century folk version of the Beatles classic with "I Am Goodbye." Layered wit...

She made a sarcastic comment about me liking upbeat music on my last post...I can't have her going around ruining my hard earned reputation!So I present the saddest song I know...some call this depressing, I call it beautiful

I sometimes forget what a great songwriter Bruce Springsteen was. Or is...I don't mean to eulogize the guy, its just that I think sometimes I am guilty of overlooking him sometimes...probably because during my formative music years, he wasn't really on my radar so much...but he did pen some classics...just wanted to share this Bonnie Prince Billy version of 'Thunder Road'

I will forever associate all of Will Oldham's music with alcohol. I just love the downtrodden beauty of his songs...so stark, so beautiful. I am loving the new album...and I am getting thirsty,

The soundtrack to this post will be "A...

sorry, I just threw up in my mouth a little. As much as I dislike everything that Princess Mariah stands for, Will Oldham seems to make everything a little better...meets (with fake, drawn on abs)

*rating* 9.0*summary* the "Prince" releases the counterpoint to his previous masterwork, "I See A Darkness" - and leaves us wondering which is more terrifying.There are few heroes in the indie-world.In this landscape of conciousness connected almost solely on the single principle of popularity-as-poison it's near impossible for legends to manifest themselves - the bright flame of their influenc...

From the inbox: Loving this song by Hard Drugs. The album is rock opera about a prostitute named Aline who falls for a druggie named Lloyd. The two must escape Terminal City and Slim, Aline's pimp. The opera is done with the help of Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Pink Mountaintops and Black Mountain.. (and perhaps other multicolored Mountain-named groups, the press release didn't elaborate...)The who..

The prolific Bonnie "Prince" Billie aka Will Oldham strikes again with a video from the upcoming Beware, out 3/17. The video is just him walking down the street singing, smiling, and bouncing, but looking like he does, that is pretty entertaining. Stereogum labels this song an "Americana march" pretty accurately. I don't like everything that Bonnie does, but he does a lot. I would say he has mo...
