A drugstore labelled "Harmacy" on the cover!  Isn't that a funny coincidence!?!?  Wait.  They probably did that intentionally, huh?  Oh well.

I second that. A very talented man. I'm hoping he and the other dude from Folk Implosion will make another record.

Given that there are those in Texas (you apparently among them) with a similar mindset as Georgia, your comment is hardly an insult. My sympathies to Austin.

Saw these guys on the Bakesale tour—they were great! Lou, J. Lowenstein (who also did some tracks w/ The Palace Brothers, for all you Will Oldham fans) and (can't remember the other dude's name) kept switching it up through the show drums to bass to guitar. The double album of their first recordings "FreedWeed" is quintessential lo-fi. Thanks for the Sebadoh!

Lou Barlow = best songwriter of the 90s. Still my favorite today.

IMHO, the best Folk Implosion song is No Need to Worry.

1) Lou Barlow the lead singer / song-writer of "Sebadoh" was originally the Bass player for "Dinosaur Jr."

2) After that ended, he formed the "low fi" alt rock group "Sebadoh."

3) At the same time he also started the side project "Folk Implosion."

4) "Natural One" for some reason became a hit with the mainstream and thus many know about "Folk Implosion" but do not know about "Sebadoh."

5) The name "Sebadoh" was chosen because if you say the word into a 4 Track and then play it backwards apparently it sound like "We're the Best." Early demos & recordings of "Sebadoh" were done on Analog four tracks.
Nice background info , on a nice band!

Anyway, Lou and the boys are an excellent band. If you want to check them out further go pick up the CD "Bakesale" - it is their best one....

The guitar is reminiscent of later Pearl Jam at times, though I'd have to think PJ scooped it from Sebadoh if this was really done in '96.

Yes, Nick Drake, that is who the singer sounds like... Great littl tune...

But you can understand everything he says ! Not a slam on Nick as I like a lot of music where It's next to impossible to follow the lyric.
