I watch him and imagine a watermelon-sized buffalo skull screaming the falsetto bits to the moon to ward off the cold. It's a decent image. I'd probably make it my desktop background for a while.
I saw this guy in Toronto when he opened along with Kurt Vile for J Mascis. The other two were great but James Vincent McMarrow definitely owned the show in my opinion.
It's extraordinary when you see live performances that are better than studio versions. I wish he'd make a whole album with nothing but him, a guitar, and a microphone. His regular stuff's awesome, but this is just pure.
grabbed me immediately, but then class usually does. A gifted performer this young man.

He's soo humble! And I love it when he says "another one?". It's also as if he wakes up from a different state once he stops singing..
