I was at a Papa M show in Memphis one time and asked David if he played the guitar solo on BPB’s “dream of the sea” cover- he was like “nah but I played a pretty ripping solo on a song called Horses”.
@james Doctor prolly around 2003 or 2004. He had the bass player from a perfect circle in his band. I’ve met Doug a few times, but I knew they guys in The Glass and A few in Snowglobe. My favorite Memphis band was the saytrs.
the song (by the Mekons, originally) was on Palace Brother's 12inch EP An Arrow Through The Bitch back in 1994 - Palace Brothers was a weird little group, also fun to see live
@@Spectrescup Yes, like a co-release US / UK in different formats, mid 1994. The Drag-City-Releases were hard to get in Europe, good that Domino re-released some Palace-EPs. I don't remember Will Oldham's merch-guy hat those Drag City-7inches with em back then, but the Domino-EP was available at our club
magical it only take one second to hallucinate seeing a gun.. HE'S GOT A GUN!! it was an i phone 2 all along retrograded to work as an iphone 361.2 all along, all along it was a fucking phone!!
Will and Tortoise do such a great cover of this tune on "The Brave and The Bold"! RT is one of the most underappreciated musical geniuses of rock and roll.
OK Oldhamites - Do you think it's a coincidence that there was once a race horse called Palace Music or do you think Will knew that when he wrote this?
Palace Music held the 7 furlong record at Newmarket for years. He then sired Cigar, who was winning the Kentucky Derby and was indisputably the best horse in the world around the time the early Palace records were made. The early Palace press had photographs of racetracks, and even though this was a Mekons song there are equine references dotted throughout the catalogue ('Riding' for one). So I think you may be on to something.
oldham is a true american songwriter to be cherished.
He is , but this song was written by a true songwriter, Sally Timms, from Leeds, Yorkshire, England.

@@Andr-x8r Thank you Andre.
@@Andr-x8r Funny enough RUclips thought exactly the same as Random Rules was playing in my playlist right after Horses. Two of my favourites ❤
Thx for being that cinematographer at that time, Billy.
Fuck man, Bonnie prince Billy. Can't belive I got to see him open for sleep of all bands.
Somehow seems weirdly appropriate to a particular niche though. I love both too.

I always wondered who played that solo so fucking good!

sounds pretty much like an homage to "calvary cross" by richard thompson.. just saying.. great song though.. as always

What was blurred out on the other man's mouth when he was being tackled?
Was wondering that. He appears to be laughing. Maybe they thought it ruined the take?
@@DoubleIvan I swear the first time I saw this video, there was no blur
Will looks... incorrect without facial hair. Amazing and amazingly weird song though.
oh shit!
I got some on me!
OK Oldhamites - Do you think it's a coincidence that there was once a race horse called Palace Music or do you think Will knew that when he wrote this?
he didn't write this song - it's a Mekons' song
@@maldoror2007 OK. I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing.

Oldham can write music because he has a face for radio
