Band of Horses se presentó en la pasada edición del festival Coachella 2013. Anoche, el grupo de Washington se presentó en el programa de televisión Jimmy Kimmel Live!, donde hizo un tributo al fallecido el pasado mes de marzo, Jason Molina ( Songs: Ohia y Magnolia Electric Co. ). Molina fue un músico y cantautor de Estados Unidos que murió a causa de una falla renal. La banda hizo un cover a "I've Been Riding With the Ghost", además de interpretar "The General Specific" de su álbum Cease to Begin .

You don't typically equate metal-heads with craft beer, but Iron Maiden is looking to change that. The legendary British metal act has announced that they've teamed up with the folks at Robinsons Brewery to produce Trooper Premium British Beer . The 4/7% ABV brew, named after a song off their 1983 album Piece of Mind , features "malt flavours and citric notes from a unique blend of Bobec, Goldings and Cascade hops [that] dominate this deep golden ale with a subtle hint of lemon."

It seemed wrong to do anything outsi de a tribute to the late Jason Molina. Since learning of his passing the other weekend, Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co. have been dominating my playlists; in particular the former. Given this fact, I focused on the sub-genres Molina often found himself in - folk, folk-rock, and alt-country. Artists like Bill Callahan, Norfolk & Western, Brown Bird and Hayden all made the cut. Check out the play list below. "Simpletons" by The Bats off Free All the Monsters [...]
Jason Molina died a weekend ago due to "organ failure as a result of years of alcoholism." At the age of 39. Which is too young for anyone to die and too young for as talented a singer / songwriter as he. Molina started out many years ago as Songs: Ohia, putting out poignant, devastating record after record before shifting his focus in the middle part of the last decade to a project he called Magnolia Electric Co. and then, unfortunately, ending his career too soon using his own name. His apparently final album, Autumn Bird Songs , [...]

Frank Yang I went into this year's Canadian Musicfest with a pretty basic plan - see as little as possible. Okay, that's not really accurate since that would have easily been accomplished by staying home and I was still out four nights in a row, but rather than engage in the club-hopping that the fest usually demands, I opted to choose one thing a night that I was genuinely interested in seeing rather than trek around the city hoping to shake something worthwhile out of the lineup. Wednesday night, that honour went to a show that [...]

All money will go to towards Jason’s medical fund as a memorial gift "I first heard Songs: Ohia in Paris several years ago, when I was recording ‘’Streets of Philadelphia’’ with Andre Herman Dune (Stanley Brinks, as he likes to be called these days) and he put a cd on the player. I was nonplussed, but Andre was insistent that I listen more closely. There was something insistent in the music itself, too: something non-ironic, something soulful in the voice of the singer. I took a cd home with me, back to [...]
Loss is the hardest thing any of us face in life. It comes suddenly and destroys ruthlessly. Being under appreciated while you're here...is equally potent. Jason Molina of Songs: Ohia and the Magnolia Electric Company died this past weekend. He was 39. His music is timeless. Here are the 11 Best Songs By Songs: Ohia: The Black Crow (The Lioness) Hot Black Silk (Axxess & Ace) Nervous
Earlier this week the music world lost Jason Molina , who passed away at the all too young age of 39 from organ failure stemming from his long and well-documented battle with alcoholism. The singer-songwriter, who had been putting out records since the late '90s for Secretly Canadian, is best known as the front man for the psych-folk project Songs: Ohia and more recently the fantastic Neil Young-influenced country-rock act Magnolia Electric Co. As a tribute to Molina The Avett Brothers have uploaded this acoustic cover [...]
Sleep well... Today's playlist is dedicated entirely to Jason Molina ( Songs: Ohia , Magnolia Electric Co. ), who died on March 16th. I can consider myself one of those extremely privileged people to experience Molina's songs performed live, catching the great Indianapolis songwriter play a sun-kissed garden set as Magnolia Electric Co. at End of the Road a number of years back. Simply click play below to begin today's playlist. [...]

Tweet Jason Molina, the esteemed musician behind Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electronic Co. sadly passed away after a long illness at the all too young age of 39. In a career that spanned 17 years, he released 13 albums and 6 EPs along with a plethora of singles, split efforts and full length collaborations with the likes of Will Oldham, Alasdair Roberts, Scout Niblett and Oneida among others. His music was largely responsible for kickstarting the Secretly Canadian label. [...]
Still touring under the guise of Songs: Ohia, Jason Molina recorded the following live session on April 20, 2003 for the "Duyster" radio show on Studio Brussel, FM 94.5 Belgium. Woodshedding material that would later appear on record (plus an interview), the set is raw and stripped down. We lost another great one this week. [...]

Catalog will be up for limited time. The post Jason Molina's discography now available to stream appeared first on Treble: Music news, reviews, interviews and more .

I caught a partial set by Jason Molina several years ago at Seattle's Folklife festival. I can't quite recall the year, not can I recall the name under which he performed. It could have been Jason Molina, Songs: Ohia, or even Magnolia Electric Co . What I remember of the performance is that out of his minimalist style, he was effortlessly enigmatic in the songs he created. Somewhere between indie-folk and alt-country, Jason Molina's music was without a doubt heartfelt and revealing, despite having a sound that was often [...]

It's always a sad day when something strikes you inside your mail box, especially when it's a letter from one of your favorite labels reporting of another beautiful musician that we have tragically lost again. Jason Molina (from bands like Magnolia Electric Co and Songs: Ohia) passed away suddenly Saturday, due to complications of organ failure, along with his unfortunate, struggling love and hate relationship with alcohol. When listening to Jason Molina's music, his lyrics have always been so honest, tragic, and forthright along with his voice and familiar southern guitar echoing in one hand, [...]

i posted this show originally in october of 2011, and i asked where was jason molina. i then read a post on the magnolia site that had confirmed what i had been hearing. at that point, i just assumed jason would come back to us. he would get over his sickness, and the world would be a better place for it. never in a million years did i think, or probably any one think it would end like this. honestly, im still very much upset over this, as i am sure a lot of folks are. his music meant the [...]

Marzo nos tiene con una de cal y otra de arena. Las malas noticias llegan ahora desde Indianapolis (Ohio, Estados Unidos), en donde el guitarrista y compositor Jason Molina murió el pasado sábado 16 por complicaciones derivadas del alcoholismo que arrastraba de un tiempo a esta parte. Nacido en Oberlin (Ohio), Molina se curtió como bajista en bandas de heavy metal en el área de Cleveland hasta que a comienzos de los 90s se lanzó como solista al frente de efímeros proyectos cuyas grabaciones caseras se distribuían en presentaciones en vivo. En 1996 comenzó su andadura [...]
Over the weekend, Jason Molina died of organ failure due to alcohol consumption. His label, Secretly Canadian, released a statement . He'd been to rehab, and the last public news about his whereabouts was that he was resting up on a farm in West Virginia, which sounded, from a distance, almost romantic, if somewhat dire. His family still has lots of medical bills to pay. Donate if you can. I never knew Jason Molina, but I know his music. Probably most people that will write about him in the coming months are in the same [...]
I can't fucking believe the Songs: Ohia frontman is dead. I've seen the same publicity photo spread across four different sites and I still can't fathom it. I didn't know Jason Molina. I met him only once, at Skyscraper Magazine's ... Continue reading
