how in fucks name has it taken me 11 entries to put up some Jon Brion?
I've been focusing mainly on that overflowing folder sitting on my desktop for listening the last week or so but while going to check on some bitrates spotted my Jon Brion folder and queued it up. Jeebus I've been deprivng the two people that read this.
Brion is well known for his work as a producer, having worked with the likes of Fiona Apple, Rufus Wainwright, and that Kanye dude to name a few. As an aside, it kinda pisses me off how seldom ive heard Kanye give Brion credit for his contributions to what he seems to think is the greatest single thing brought forth unto human kind. Anyhow, the man (Brion, fuck Kanye) is a fucking genius and his own catalogue of work attests to this even without taking what hes done with/for others into account. Yes, he and Jim O'Rourke need to thumbwrestle.
