I used to get so frustrated at work that I couldn't listen to School of the Flower by Six Organs of Admittance whenever I wanted. And then I realized that I never actually bought the album and having some file I illegally downloaded on my iPod isn't a form of ownership, even if I've been listening to it on repeat for over a decade. After that I couldn't be mad at Drag City for being Spotify holdouts, it's actually... cool as Hell.
A lot of Oldham's stuff is on Apple (and other services, maybe?), right? The fact that the earliest Palace stuff went up on Spotify gives me hope that he isn't eschewing the platform altogether.
Happy to be able to pull up ORBS anytime I want, at least.
Man, apocalypse is still so good. I hadn't listened to it in a while because it isn't on Spotify, but it def holds up. It might even be Callahan's best album
Looks like they're upping Oldham's stuff chronologically.
The following are all up at this point:
"Ohio River Boat Song" / "Drinking Woman" There Is No-One What Will Take Care of You "Come In" / "Trudy Dies" "Horses / Stable Will" Days in the Wake Hope EP "West Palm Beach" / "Gulf Shores" "O How I Enjoy the Light" / "Marriage" Viva Last Blues "The Mountain" / "(End of) Travelling" The Mountain EP Arise, Therefore
And I'm pretty sure that's the entirety of his DC output from through 96-ish.
And yeah, according to the discography on Wikipedia, both Arise, Therefore and Joya are both credited to BPB on iTunes.
I appreciate that these things are mostly going up with their various Palace / Palace Brothers / Palace Music / Palace Songs monikers, but the librarian in me sure wishes Spotify had better authority control on this stuff and could pull all of these together onto a single artist page.
