I always think of Josh.I know better. And I know I know better! But I still can't help but think everybody's been talking about the Aquaman/Game of Thrones actor all morning.

Waiting for a Deluxe 4xLP of Sojourner still but this will appease my appetite

Farewell Transmission is an all-timer, and as someone mentioned earlier the overlap of Neil Young is on display here in the best way possibleMolina is one of my all-time favorites, and Iām sure some shitbird is going to come in and crap all over it because thatās what shitbirds do. Buying all of it could be a lengthy and expensive endeavor. But that said, I think Songs:Ohiaās āMagnolia Electric Co.ā at a minimum probably belongs in a lot of peopleās collection, then go from there.
My copy of Fading Trails is one of the shittiest sounding records I own. I know SC will eventually get around to repressing it but my god does that thing sound awful. At least I only paid something like $8 for it new.The box is very cool, and I'm tempted. But if you're really new to Molina, you should know that the box is sort of a deluxe version of the album Fading Trails. That album has 9 of the 33 tracks in this box set. Of course the cover art of Fading Trails may be a little problematic if you've got a significant other or kids around. Or maybe I'm just a middle-aged prude at this point. But the box featuring woodburned art would definitely go over a little better in my house.
Still patiently waiting for his 70s albums to get reissued.

Speaking of mixing people up, when I see Billy Joe I think "Billie Joe" and if you hadn't mentioned the 70s just now I would have gone about my day thinking that the Green Day guy is old enough to have a kid with his own solo career.Still patiently waiting for his 70s albums to get reissued.
My wallet lives in fear of a full Molina box set.My copy of Fading Trails is one of the shittiest sounding records I own. I know SC will eventually get around to repressing it but my god does that thing sound awful. At least I only paid something like $8 for it new.

Also goes without saying that Molinaās story is just as tragic as Elliott Smithās
In addition to every Molina version of Farewell Transmission, Glen Hansard's cover of Farewell Transmission is also pretty great.
In fact, the EP of Molina's songs he did is worth a listen too.
Good to know! I never got around to buying the LP . . . (that cover!), but now I probably won't. Or at least I'll wait until there's a better quality reissue.My copy of Fading Trails is one of the shittiest sounding records I own.

I'm hoping Swell Season will break one of these out when I see them at Radio City this year.I got to see Glen perform Hold on Magnolia in 2015. He took a few minutes to talk about Molina and got pretty verklempt. That was actually the first time I heard his name.
I agree that Songs: Ohia's Magnolia Electric Co. is probably the best place to start with Molina. I always liked the lie album Trials & Errors a lot, too--serious Neil Young vibes. And I'd probably rank Fading Trails as my third favorite album, though all of the earlier Songs: Ohia stuff is great. My only minor complaint would be that those albums could sound a little "samey" at times.Farewell Transmission is an all-timer, and as someone mentioned earlier the overlap of Neil Young is on display here in the best way possible
