I have yet to hear a single cover of “Farewell Transmission” that I’ve liked. And it’s not because the original album version (or the MEC demo) is really sacred to me or anything or that it’s even one of my favorite Molina songs. But it seems like it’s his most covered and well-known song, and I’d be really happy if no one ever covered it again.

I'm listening to the Molina bio on my way to work lately. The narrator is really bad, but I must power through. Love that this dude was in his dorm at Oberlin listening to Codeine and RHP.

yeah I dislike the farewell trans one a lot
I mean I don't dislike them for playing it, it's a great song
I dislike record companies for thinking we need to hear it

is it weird that Autumn Bird Songs is functioning like a major Molina gateway for me recently? absolutely in love with it, especially "the harvest law" and "no hand was at the wheel."

There’s this pop country cover band in my area called Nashville Electric Company, and part of me wants to think it’s a nod to MeCo but considering they’re just a bad cover band it’s all probably a coincidence and it just kind of makes me irrationally angry.

trying to remember a solo molina recording. I think the setlist was heavy on pyramid and sojourner tracks. division, bowery, leave the city, dark don't hide, etc. minimal crowd banter. any idea?

that sounded pretty cool, groth's guitar rips for sure, and strand of oak's guy's voice is pretty good. i'm not sure how i feel about the project name, but they're the ones who were close to jason so i don't know.

i love that groth is a librarian
sometimes i imagine i'm back at my old job doing facilities stuff for a library, and groth sends in a request for assistance and then i have to go help him figure out why his window won't latch correctly or whatever and pretend like his guitar playing isn't a huge part of some of the more emotional periods of my life

It's a little cheaper if you go with Bandcamp over SC, but this still winds up being $50 for the non-bundle version.
Didn't It Rain reissue unbundled was/is $20. Here we go.

So excited for this. Thanks for the heads up about slightly cheaper shipping through Bandcamp!
