This was Damon Locks band with a very young, pre-SNL, pre-Portlandia Fred Armisen. It's kinda like if Fugazi played more dub. It ruled. I was sad when I heard they broke up but got excited for Locks new band (The Eternals).
random story time. I went to a baseball game with my dad in Millington, TN (where JT is from). The USA Olympic Baseball team used to practice there for years, and we were going to a warm up game before the Atlanta Olympics in 96. I guess I was about 10. We were listening to this really cool local radio station out of memphis that does...whatever they want basically (WEVL 89.9! - you can live stream them here - always gonna shoutout local radio). the DJs are mostly volunteers and there's some weird stuff and cool stuff all mixed in. Well, we were driving out to millington from east memphis - a pretty long-ish drive. and the DJ starts playing Bringing Down the Horse in full. he's just like "here's a new one from bob dylan's son jakob's band" and then they played this whole album. On the drive, it started raining, and then pouring. As an adult looking back, I realize that my dad knew they weren't gonna play that baseball game. But I, as a 10 year old kid, was so hopeful and ready with my mitt and cracker jacks, we drove all the way out there anyway, listening to this album on the quacking radio. So I have a huge sentimental bond with this album, if only because I listened to it while my dad, who knew how much I wanted to see that baseball game (because i was 10 and loved baseball) drove all the way to the stadium (in the rain) so we could "officially" see it was rained out. He probably knew that 10 minutes into our drive, but he'll even text me now and be like "one headlight came on the radio today. remember that time..." and so it's really become an incidental symbol of dad-son bonding for me. a highway drive with a good album; a goal that's slightly out of reach because of no fault of our own, but dammit we're going for it.
and so it's really become an incidental symbol of dad-son bonding for me.
No joke, I was just texting my dad about The Wallflowers' rescheduled tour dates today. We'd always sing along to "One Headlight" on the radio when I was growing up. Maybe this is one the ultimate dad-son bonding albums.
Picking up where I left off yesterday. Should note this is Wooden Wand and not Wand. Super confusing if you like both bands. It's his country rock phase and I'm here for that.
