Walking on the edge of becoming a Bonnie "Prince" Billy tribute blog, we were in attendance of Oldham's show at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater in Bloomington, Indiana on March 12, 2009. His newest album, Beware , releases on Tuesday, so, as expected, a large chunk of the setlist was from the album. Before going into the show, I've listened to Beware and wasn't blown away (however, I still bought the vinyl). Granted, the bar he sets is well beyond that of your mainstream artist, but when you have Oldham's talent average doesn't fly. Beware feels over [...]

I would say we made a pretty good choice for our first concert in Champaign-Urbana, our neighboring twin cities. I mean, how often do you get the chance to see Bonnie "Prince" Billy perform in an old converted Post Office? We made the 45-ish minute trip on Friday afternoon and found ourselves sitting in on Begushkin's sound check through the kindness of Seth Fein (of The Canopy Club ). The venue was superb, with couches and a popcorn vendor, but it was the acts that made this performance something to remember. With opener Begushkin, Will [...]

Man o' man, what a year it's been musically, eh? It's funny, every year, around this time, we ("we" as in all us music geeks) start to read the lists that appear and we all start to revel or grumble about what that blog or that magazine had to say about the year that was, who was number one, how the hell [...]

I didn't have a blog last year, but i did have all these end-of-year lists, including the 2007 Young Talents list. I posted them on Last.fm . Now, i thought it would've been a fun idea to see whether i have good prophecying skills. To put it differently: how did those bands do this year? Did they live up to my expectations, or did they just sit on their lazy ass all time Well, lets's see! 9. Imadethismistake .. I've blogged about them before . As far as I know [...]

Photography by felicia Alright, this one won't win me any popularity awards (or cool points probably). Begushkin's latest effort, King's Curse (already sounds proggy, doesn't it) is not for everyone. You may think I'm completely insane (you wouldn't be the first) but I think it's got this less frenetic Random Spirit Lover meets classic rock with a distinct 70's prog aesthetic that pops up every now and then. Huh? Yeah, something like that. Apparently is was recorded in two days straight to [...]

Obscure Sound
Emotional variability is an aspect of art that all musicians value. An artist limiting one's self to a consistent set of emotions can be detrimental to a listener's perception of the artist, primarily due to the fact that an entire discography consisting of sulking or romanticized longing can become repetitively dull and topically overwrought if not done correctly. You can look at some fine artists who can do this successfully – The Smiths, Mark Kozelek, American Music Club, etc. – and find that their musical styles and structures often diversify the songs enough. And if not, the vocal diction is [...]

Begushkin - Stroll With Mine (Locust 2007) Begushkin - Nightly Things / Locust Yesterday it was death-folk and a kitchen appliance. Today we're declaring the end of post-rock week and capping it off with a little acoustic affection in the form of Brooklyn six-string swooner Dan Smith aka Begushkin. I really don't know how long this review is going to be, but if it winds up particularly short, don't be discouraged. It's just because I cut out the mammoth "Here's the biography and what happened when we last [...]

Photography "My Love" by Butow Dark & haunting, I listen to the late-night folk of Begushkin's Nightly Things and I feel like I just stumbled into some back-alley bar. I'll sit down and wonder what drink won't make me seem more like an outsider while shadows distract me as they dance on the walls from all the candles, the seemingly only source of light. As Smith plays, you get the feeling he was raised by Gypsies, nomadic and of a different world, with the sparse instrumentation, occasionally accentuated with [...]

Raven Sings The Blues
Dan Smith plays a maudlin nighttime folk that dances slowly 'round the pub while both entrancing and disturbing in equal measure. With a bit of gypsy charm that blinds you in the moment before he steals your children, Smith seems to ease into the roll of the minstrel. Soft fingers of guitar are invariably wrapped in a lonesome fiddle and strokes of piano all twirling around in a lamentable sadness that floats under Smith's croon that is half David Byrne and half Will Oldham. The aptly named Nightly Things sees release next month via Locust Music, a fitting [...]
