Perfect fall songs - Bonnie :Prince" Billy

If Bill Callahan every did anything with bonnie prince billy, i'd lose my shit. OH wait, they did - as "The Sundowners." i must say though, i was very disappointed.

I see a darkness

A cover of Johnny Cash's original, this is a beautiful song. One of those occasions in which what came after is better than what came first.

Death to everyone:

For the longest time, i thought the line was "...and it makes Jose much more fun."

A minor place:

Ironically, one of the more uplifting songs from the album.

Another day full of dread:


That's all i can find quickly. But if you get the chance, pick up "I see a darkness" by bPb. so good. Look for songs like "Today I was an evil one" or "Song for the new breed." the whole album is just fantastic.

Songs to Play at My Funeral

Not that I'm dying, but I was thinking about what songs I would want to play at my funeral. Like in Love Actually when the wife of Liam Neeson's character dies and she had requested he play "Bye bye baby." It was a great choice because it was moving yet irrevent, respecting and appreciating her time on the earth but without over-doing the melancholy of her passing.

My choices would certainly be varied, but some of the criteria would be:
- Something sad and moving
- Something celebratory and uplifting
- Something funny or ironic

I'll be updating this frequently, but I've got some early options today.

"Breathless" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds


"Into My Arms" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
- Definitely death appropriate, it'll get the tears flowing too.


"I am Goodbye" by Bonnie Prince Billy
Straight up great song. Nice video too.


"Easy Does It" by Bonnie Prince Billy
I think kinda captures my laissez faire attitude...unfortunately


"I'll Be Glad" by Bonnie Prince Billy
Clearly i'm obsessed with BPB these days. Listen to this one to the end...it'll get ya.
