Cold blooded clarity

For the past week I've been obsessed with this Smog (Bill Callahan) song called "Cold Blooded Old Times."

Here's a video clip of Callahan and Smog playing it at Emo's in Austin. The quality of the audio is excellent.

My current band is covering this song. For a long time I didn't know where it came from, and referred to it as, "that song with the Sister Ray jam at the end." (We generally jam the shit out of the G/G7 chord for a good 8 minutes at the end, and I usually play the song with mallets.)

Along with the clips of Smog on Youtube, I recommend checking out Bill Callahan's new(est) record, called "Woke on a Whaleheart."

Also, Callahan is dating Joanna Newsom. Add that to your list of power-couples-of-coolness.
