Backtracks takes a look at songs that were a meaningful part of los grillosĀ pastĀ and have recently come back to los grillos in whatever random ways such things happen–in a movie, in a bar, in a dream, or just in the head for no apparent reason.
and the universe spreads like ashes
and embers against its tapestry, which is itself,
and it can be seen and so it must exist,
and because it exists, it is space
and time that can be travelled,
and so he travels, and so he lives,
and he finds in this only his own end
and not the end of the universe,
and that is everything he has come to want.

Epic song.
Also thanks for the Plainsong recommendation. I played the record the other day and no sooner was it over than I found myself putting it back on side one. Made for a great afternoon listen.
thanks for the comment–that entire varnaline record feels epic. i love it.
and glad you’re digging the plainsong. since you’re enjoying that you might want to check out ian matthews’ solo stuff (especially the early 70s southern comfort stuff) and the first few fairport convention albums (he’s on those).
was great seeing you–hope y’all enjoyed the rest of your time in austin.
