Bonnie Prince Billy @ HG Ballroom 5/18
Higher Ground just announced that Bonnie "Prince" Billy, a.k.a. Palace, a.k.a. Palace Songs, a.k.a. Palace Music, a.k.a. Palace Brothers, a.k.a. Will Oldham will make a return visit to VT on Monday, May 18. If I may, woo hoo!, a.k.a. hell yeah!, a.k.a. yippee!
Here's a clip from a recent performance in Tel Aviv.
And here is what still ranks as perhaps my all-time favorite Will Oldham moment (and yes, I know I've posted this one before, but it really is worth revisiting from time to time).
And here is some dude butchering a great song. I never realized how many of these types of vids there are out there (see the Jeff Tweedy post for another example). It's becoming an endless source of voyeuristic hilarity/depression.
Looks like I know when my next trip up to Burlington is gonna be. Hot damn.
For some decidedly "non-butchering" of an Oldham song, check out Bill Janovitz's recent cover of "Agnes, Queen of Sorrow".
