Jackie Blue:
I file all my music under the artist's name.  Palace goes under P, Bonnie "Prince" Billy goes under B.  It's not that confusing.  It's not like if I'm looking for a specific album I'm going to forget where it is.

greenMonkey:
His cover album with Tortoise was fun, and I haven't really heard much of his other stuff.

His photographs for the covers of Spiderland and Tweez are fun too.

fish across face:
I'm glad he comes off as sincere and unpretentious in person, because from his music I always felt there was a definite schtick he's trying to cultivate, which to me felt a bit insincere... a romantic image of this oh-so-rustic dude from the oh-so-rustic South.. the Southern Gothic thing, maybe?  I get the same vibe from Sam Beam / Iron & Wine too... I don't know why this should bother me, I think fronting is much more fun than striving for authenticity.  Maybe the thing is this front sounds like an attempt to stake authenticity?  Anyway...  :roll:

As I said in the thread where he came up, New Partner from the Palace Brothers' Viva Last Blues is my favourite single song of his, and otherwise I guess the album I listen to most is the bloody bleak Arise Therefore, home of the ever-charming You Have Cum in Your Hair and Your Dick is Hanging Out.  :-o

Holy shit, just read his Wikipedia thing, he was in Matewan???  That's a great movie!  Might have to watch it again sometime.

ScrambledGregs:
I once listened to 'Raining In Darling' while sitting outside a Catholic church, in my car, with my then-girlfriend, as it rained. It was one of those "perfect" moments in life, I daresay.

BrittanyMarie:
He started my beardy obsession. I haven't heard anything from him from any moniker that I have even remotely disliked... he's really consistently good, with strokes of genius dashed about generously.
