For the past 9 months or so, I’d call this, “Sycamore”, by Bill Callahan, my “favorite song.” The idea of a favorite song is pretty dumb, but hey, I’m never as excited to hear anything else, so I guess this is it. Thing about this song is that it’s useful to me. Makes morning commutes better. Makes me believe good things could happen. So far, it’s been right. This version was apparently recorded at the First Presbyterian Church in Austin, back when Joanna Newsom was playing keyboards w/ Callahan live. Seeing this got me excited for the people who will see Fiona Apple in this space when she plays Pitchfork’s SXSW event. I like that he got to sing “Christian, if you see your poppa, tell him I love him” in a church.
