Jim White - Static On The Radio

[theroostra]

This is an amazing song. Thanks KEXP for turning me onto it.

[Schimmel1972]

Spent a year in CA and the best thing I got from it was getting turned on to Jim White. Slightly ironic since he's from FL.

[1prettyricky]

was looking for radio static and found a nice song

[RadioDeadSound]

Such an amazing song, an incredibly underrated artist.

[shaneleah]

one of the greatest songs of all time... peace.

[bobzyerunk]

i never tire of hearing this song, could listen to it over and over again

[Imptheshrimp]

Another track from the recesses of my memory.

[Legosquirrel54]

@Imptheshrimp ooh i like reesees too!

[MrMoviemaverick]

This is haunting and beautiful. My favourite song now. Love it!

[MrMoviemaverick]

how can a sound this beautiful enmeshed with poetry of this quality not be let loose. Avalanch and then Sunami my soul jim!!! 

[MrMoviemaverick]

reminds me of all the longing, long gone and I might catch a string of it and reconnect in some way. Slabbermouth

[ladystorm61]

Love this man and his music! Got turned on to him year before last and he just blows my mind! He is beautiful!!

[jimmiepatrick]

I think this song is one of the greatest songs of all time. Maybe it's just me. It's a hidden gem in the music world. Spread the word! And also... to Jim White... MORE OF THIS PLEASE! You will be a rock legend if you just tap into what you had during the creation of this absolute masterpiece and harness it all the way to the top.

[northernpike24]

Still haven't found anything that is comparable to Jim's music, I love his stuff.

[Nejij]

Jim White is amongst my favorite musicians of all time. If you like his work, go to his website and buy a CD directly from him. He gets more $ that way.

[belljar777]

saw jim in birmingham last year and he was FABULOUS. super cool guy, too. was talking to him when he got a call from johnny dowd, who is my hero. ha. i hope he comes back soon. sigh.

[pointlessfilms]

wondrfull

[addison1977]

Great stuff

[johncash09]

Saw Jim play 2 acoustic gigs with John Doe, here in NZ bak in March , both grt musicians & fun guys. Truly awesome gigs .

[PaulBradford13]

fantastic atmosphere in this tune.

[goldengirlwithmyopia]

am completely hypnotised by this wonderful song, thank you

[terr0rkitten]

My pleasure.

[Schlepp420]

Fantastic song. Jim White fast becoming one of my favorite artist along with Howe Gelb and Giant Sand...

[moltenone]

Jim White plus Aimee Mann,you can't go wrong .

[d2308988]

love this song

[Marctersmantoll]

This is beutifull. Good quality! (Från stockholm jag med)

[watkinscopicat]

aimee mann! such a great duo.

[pwsvictum7]

heard this on the radio, i am now in loveeee<3

[floorofthepinkroom]

Love this song. Saw him live a while back in a little club in Stockholm. Between his wonderful songs he was extremely entertaining. Intelligent, humoristic, simply brilliant.

[helowako]

soo relaxing

[kgordon855]

Jailbird is great - this guy is brilliant.

[everton1941]

You should also check out the song 'Two Fat Feet' by the Fiery Furnaces. For some reason I can't imagine anyone who is moved by this not being similarily moved by the FF's.

[everton1941]

I have listened to this 500 times and it still sends chills down my spine. Can anyone out there recommend other JWhite tunes that are as good as this? Does Aimee Mann sing on anything else with him?

[missteek08]

i think i HAVE listened to this 500 hundred times..lol!! it is a perfect song.

unfortunately i haven't heard anything by Jim White that touches "static on the Radio".

[everton1941]

Fuckin' rights it's perfect. There was a copy of this on here (think it was removed) that was set to images from the film 'Zodiac'. The song seemed to me to be wonderfully complementary to the mood of the film.

[missteek08]

i saw that same vid. and it was, in my opinion, spectacular. that film evokes the same mood as this song.

[everton1941]

I keep lookin' for JWhite stuff on here that matches the sonic and textural purity of this, but so far to no avail. In doing so, however, I have come across Lambchop and the Tindersticks, two groups that are mining somewhat similar territory with incredible power.

[missteek08]

i will definately look them up. thanks for the recommending them.

[floorofthepinkroom]

Also check out Calexico!

[quax999]

Hi, i like most of his songs... But check out Hellwood - Chainsaw of life (another project of Jim White) Track: A Man Loves His Wife. Also really great!

[matgia]

'Christmas Day' is as good as this one. Two perfect songs.

[raethh]

incredible song...great for swaying in the moonlight.

[helowako]

so relaxing.. i love this song :)

[kgordon855]

this guy is astonishing

[MrSnod]

This is such abeautiful sond for late night listening...PURE

[pollyanna85]

5 stars for pure music...you don't need any video...music is far enough

[pollyanna85]

5 stars for pure music...you don't need any video...music is far enough

[manitovska]

still I hope there's others out there who are listening to the static on the radio

when I die I'll turn into this song and haunt all of you for evermore

[ziggy178]

Haunting melody, the whole drill a hole cd is great.

[howardTdevoto]

Este tema en que disco esta de Jim White ???

[lapopofighting]

Drill A Hole In That Substrate And Tell Me What You See

[tolangue]

absolutely the best i've heard in a very, very long time. love this song, thank you for posting it.

[dixsteele]

This is marvelous. I listened to this every day on my bike to work for about three years.

[MrAshbayThorn]

This is a dimond in the rough a twinkel of light

[BellanGracie]

Jim White is a breath of fresh air. Thanks for posting this. Aimee Mann, lord, what a force...don't make my mind wander...

[CherryKiizz]
