New Tunes from Bill Callahan
We know this is a few days late, but seeing as we were busy enjoying SXSW, we didn’t have time to throw this up right away, which is a shame because we love our fellow Austinite, Bill Callahan. This track is off his forthcoming record Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle, which hits stores April 14th on Drag City.

Awesome song. Reminded me of an art exhibit I saw in Madison, Wisconsin, by Rodney Graham…amazing British artist who also records music and film. Give him a listen if you get a chance…

His music album titled The Bed-Bug, Love Buzz And Other Short Songs in the Popular Idiom for some reason is going for $99 dollars online. I purchased for less than twenty about 6 years ago.
