so it’s a new term at W&L and we’ve got a new theme and a new time-slot for no love for ned- tuesdays evenings from 5-6:30pm (that’s tonight!). stay tuned afterwards for a new talk show i’m involved in, old people arguing on the radio.

the winter term has come to a close and with it our flying nun records theme. i’ll obviously continue playing this stuff to death on the show (especially with the current captured tracks flying nun reissue project). to recap over the past three months we heard music from: the bats, look blue go purple, the pin group, 3ds, doublehappys, the stones, the verlaines, the gordons, snapper, the clean and bird nest roys.

so i pre-empted our usual program this week to focus entirely on the music of jason molina, who passed away last saturday.

i’ve had a hard time saying or writing much about it. after i heard from secretly canadian on monday morning, i told my co-workers that a friend had died and went home for the day. i wanted to tell them about jason and his music but i knew they wouldn’t understand and worried they would question my grief. i’m pretty sure that’s the way a lot of other folks have been feeling. people want to share- it’s hard to grieve alone.

when my grandfather died five years ago i dug out his 78s that i had been given a few years earlier. using spit, tape and google i managed to transfer them to my computer and make a cd to bring to the funeral for family.

monday morning a similiar inclination took over me. i contacted secretly canadian to run my plan by them and they said ‘ok, but only for a little while’. i then proceeded to collect everything jason released physically and upload it to the magnolia electric co. bandcamp site for free streaming. i think that cataloging, converting, and sharing someone’s music helps me feel close to them again.

as soon as i heard jason had passed i knew this week’s show would be a tribute show. however i’d only be able to scratch the surface of his catalog in one hour. i decided to split the show in three- start with magnolia electric co. and end with songs: ohia. in between, the radio session jason recorded for my show seven years ago and a few other solo radio sessions to round it out. i hope you enjoy it.

i’ll miss you jason.
