Jaimoe Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I'll be hitting this mother up solo. Jason Molina of Songs: Ohia/Magnolia Electric Co. falls somewhere between My Morning Jacket and Ryan Adams in the singer/songwriter and modern roots/country/rock revivalists. I can't wait for the show Tuesday night. Tix are $13.50 at Rotate This and Soundscapes. Fuck Ticketbastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) If anyone decides to go, I'll be wetting my whistle at The Taps near Paupers at Bloor near Lee's Palace at 7:30-9:00(ish). Tickets with service charges at Soundscapes and Rotate This! are $15. I can't wait! Edited September 12, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 ^ He'll be the one wearing the Leafs jerseyI'm actually wearing a vintage 70's Blue Jays jersey today, so if anyone goes and you see it, come on over and say "Hi".

TheGoodRev Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 (edited) Holy shit.So I found some dough, made it to the show. Walked in after the opener was done, walked right up front and watched the whole thing.Jaimoe I may have even seen you, but didn't see the thing about the Jays jersey until now. I recall seeing an old Jays jersey on my way out though.Anyway. I first saw this band in March. They were unfuckingbelievable. Maybe it's just me and my undying love for Crazy Horsified Neil Young. That's exactly what they are; Crazy Horse with new songs, often more melodic and slightly less grungy, and Jason Molina (the frontman) has a more pleasing and melodic voice than Neil.Last night was no different. The only material I know of theirs is the Magnolia Electric Co. album (their first, or Songs: Ohia's last) and the odd single-tune download and what's on their MySpace. They have since released two (or three?) more full-lengths, and at least two or three Molina solo albums. The man is a machine. Didn't matter, though, that I only recognized a handful of tunes. Every single song is a fucking winner, front to back. Classic-style roots-rock without the cheese that is so easy to fall into. My only (minor) complaint is that the lead guitarist was a little too plain, he could have fancied it up a bit without hitting the cheese factor.But shit, I wish I had hyped this show a little more than I did...a lot of my friends would have loved it. Molina mentioned that most of the tunes they were playing were new and wouldn't be heard on record for another year and a half or two (even though they just released a new one in August). Given that, I was happy to note that they encourage taping, and are on the Archive, though you can't stream the shows, they have to be downloaded.Magnolia Electric Co.'s ridiculously huge discography, for your referenceMagnolia Electric Co. on the Live Music ArchiveMagnolia Electric Co. on MySpace Edited September 13, 2006 by Guest added some sh!t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 I like your comparison to Crazy Horse there Good Rev. Jaimoe gave us their What Comes After The Blues album and it is great.Check out Luna - Live, also via Jaimoe. Although not of the same vein but I imagine you would like it. It gets fair representation at our home of too many cd's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
