Smog + Joanna Newsom @ Presbyterian Church, SXSW

[0MeanMrMustard0]

John Prine: Hello in there, guitar riff. Hello in there, sycamore - Both great songs.

[likabikalot]

sweet!

[TrumpetCallofGodLT]

Hear what God of Israel YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH (Son and Father are ONE) saying to our generation by His chosen prophets: Trumpetcallofgodonline. com ; Letter called "Purify Your Faith, and Come to the Father as It is Written": EXCERPT: "Only in the Bible and through these very Letters, of which I have given to My prophet of the end of this age, shall you find Him and know Him."

Sounds too much like "You and your sister" by Chris Bell (the guy from Big Star).

[lukepleaseshutup]

Joanna Newsom and Smog in a church at SXSW...I had a slight orgasm just typing that.

[Keithisill]

Done just like a pro at god's house! Not

[shinyalbert]

this is actually better than the album version

[sarys73]

I have never heard of him till tonight and I have been youtubing him for about the last 3 hrs.. I like ver song.. looking up all is stuff and will buy

[proposals]

Oh Bill, what a fucking legend.

[stuckdan]

J'adore.

[Dorillo76]

awesome

[shinyalbert]

i love the description for this video:

"shot in...night vision, which makes bill callahan look like a bummed out alien"

[cointelpro911]

That voice!

[montymonty25]

its not what he includes, its what he leaves out !

[object87]

I met him at ATP earlier in the year, his an fuckin dude... really chilled but kind of awkward meeting. they say you should never meet your idols and i totally agree with that statement

[hobocakes]

"his an fuckin dude"

what does that mean?

[shinyalbert]

@hobocakes

it can only mean one thing.

[singingdetective]

@hobocakes really chilled but kind of awkward meeting

[insaalahable]

I love him.....he is the best lyricist, so DaDa and his voice, he really is uncommon and amazing. If I could meet him I would.

[heavyboxes]

Oh smog is so good. He created an entire universe of music that is only now beginning to get recognized.

[mzayatz]

youtube doesn't do bill justice. go see him. he is AWESOME!!

[WilburyVision]

What a beautiful version - does justice to this classic song, which is anything BUT mediocre .

[HashThrone]

lolz..... ah, bill.

[lubaluba56]

joanna is absolutly adorable.

[wesjoe311]

bummed out alien? put the bong down people. this guy's got some soul to him, definately. but, shit...he's just like every other band at sxsw...original, to an extent. he's not what i would call extrordinary. mediocre, at best. yes, i said mediocre.

[JaxMaster000]

Smog? Mediocre? I just can't agree with that at all.

[mieprowan]

I disagree. I think he's got a lot of soul, understated soul. And I don't smoke, not anymore, not for years, and I'm getting old too.

[llamabiscuits]

Knock knock or GTFO, newb.

[jaybobcarson]

srsly

[limeginger]

Great video. Love him. Have seen Bill perform for a dozen years...he often looks like a bummed out alien.

[lakai8]

looks like andy bernard from the office

[sssssssssssssssssste]

god i love this guys voice....my favourite song growing up was the version of jar of sand recorded for john peels bbc radio programme in the uk, but i cant find a copy of it anywhere and its driving me crazy, any ideas anyone?!

[leehazlewoodism]

Jar Of Sand is on the Neath The Puke Tree EP. It's not the Peel session version but I think it's still available from Drag City.

[evasion89]

Sweet, beautiful song. Sexy voice

[spurtfather]

great shot with the cross behind him. preacher bill!

[worthleaving]

this is very beautiful.

[yourbuddyoz]

his voice is so resonant

i saw him open for newsom in l.a.

and when he sang bathysphere

it made my chest vibrate it was so deep

he sounds like carlsbad

[yuppiescuzin]

his voice does sound nice.

[lipslipslipsbootyboo]

0:56, smog's salvation

wtf

[bananaquestion]

See that logo on Bill's guitar strap? Well it look like it's apart of his shirt which makes him look like he's wearing a UPS uniform. My hero.

[kristopherkelly]

haha that's crazy ... that's me in the frame during the shots of Joanna ! ! ! its funny, i was using the portapotty outside the church and came out after peeing . . . and there was Joanna & Bill right in front of my strolling by. Like the idiot I am, I said 'Joanna I love you!' and she smiled a very big smile and said thanks . . . hehe.

[taniwha9]

This is what bummed out aliens look like? oh.

[biosludge]

Callahan is a bummed out alien, he came here in his teenage spaceship.

[lucyrallan]

weird mouth

[palpebral]

j'aime bien mieux cette version que celle du disque

[frunklewaff]

[yuppiescuzin]

[00shaun00]

quite amazing! i'm happy for this band, and i'm happy for all of you

[trialofsocrates]

Lady-O by Judee Sill robery... plain and simple.

[AigValic]
