details
As reference is sometimes the shortest distance between two comparative points, please know that the following likening is given with the highest regard for Old War Shirt's Nighttime Songs Under the Stars of San Rafael: If you have a strong appreciation for lo-fi recordists in the ilk of Mark Linkous's Sparklehorse, or Jay Reatard, you will most definitely have a strong appreciation for the aforementioned. The not-out-of-place detuned-sounding guitars and seeming intentional laxity of the recording process adds significantly to the intimate feeling of the remix of "What's Going On?" [vers. 2], as well as the acerbic "Loaded Pistol" ("I'm looking for a loaded pistol, going to go to Inglewood and find me one..."). A gorgeous diamond in glorious rough. Still Playing: "What's Going On?" and "Loaded Pistol"
