The great peaks and valleys of the creative experience, inhabiting similar world views, and moving into a garage apartment. John Calvin Abney "Shortwave radio is a nearly-defunct technology that now exists only on the edge of memory, a tool of niche hobbyists. It is a fitting metaphor, then, for those continuing down a highway without travelers, a dusty trail without service to make a call. On his new EP, Shortwaving, alternative Americana singer-songwriter and in-demand sideman (you might have seen him on stage with artists like John Moreland, Ben Kweller, Wild Child, Hanson, and countless others), John Calvin Abney explores the unease - the fear, even - that comes from repeatedly sending signals into the atmosphere and hearing little but static and silence in response. As Abney puts it in the title track: “Swim the shortwave / Cutting in and out / I'm losing strength in these hills / Between the stations / Is the dark you heard about / Can you hear it now? / Shortwaving still.” The central question of this project is this - what do you do when communication seems to be losing its ability to reach people? For Abney, the answer is to beam your message into the void regardless, almost as an act of faith. The result is a haunting set of country-rock laments, descended from classic end-of-the-party albums like Neil Young's On The Beach and Jason Molina's The Magnolia Electric Co. Chunky minor chords loop on repeat while ghostly slide guitar figures glide in and out of earshot. When Abney sings “There's a devil in the dialtone,” we can hear exactly what he means. Recorded at Columbus, Ohio's Secret Studio in a single day with a small group of friends, including co-producer Lydia Loveless on background vocals and engineering duties, one gets the feeling of accidentally stumbling upon the lost tapes of an obscure Midwestern band, amplifying incantations away in a hidden corner somewhere. These are songs about not being heard that sound almost private, as if they're perhaps not meant to be heard. This intimate quality gives Shortwaving a refreshing lack of self-consciousness. Abney gives the impression of singing these songs primarily to himself, almost as a kind of prayer. While coming to terms with the reality of communicating and creating in an age of noise and glamor, he is attempting to “whisper in a hurricane”. The theme of soldiering on through the cacophony permeates the 5-song set - whether in “Arkansas River Bridge”, where Abney challenges both heaven and the devil to “See me get back up and try,” or in the chorus of “Truckee River Blues”, where Abney sings to both the moon and himself, “Shine on, sickle blade moon / It's too late to go too soon.” Shortwaving's glimmers of hope, the “silver lining on a shadow”, as Abney puts it in the title track, come in a few buoyant musical moments later on in the EP - the chiming sparks of a faraway guitar on the instrumental track “Supporting Actor”, which sounds like it could be lifted straight from the session tapes of Led Zeppelin III, and the triumphant, crashing chords that announce the chorus of final track “Truckee River Blues”. After a dark night of the soul spent swimming in the airwaves, it feels as if John Calvin Abney finally receives his response amidst the droning static and spectral frequencies. It is a reminder of the joy and humanity contained in the very act of moving forward and sending out transmissions on these lost highways. And even though it may be harder to hear than it once was - on certain wavelengths at least, Shortwaving is a lighthouse, helping to navigate memories of what used to be."

This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast features an interview with Erin Osmon, an award-winning, Los Angeles-based music journalist, critic, and author. She's written long-form album notes for archival releases on Blondie, Hüsker Dü, Townes Van Zandt, Sparklehorse, and many others. A veteran of Chicago newsrooms, her work appears in Rolling Stone, LA Times, New York Times, Washington Post, and other publications of record. She is part-time faculty at USC's Annenberg School of journalism. Her new book, about heartland rock in the 1980s, will be published by W.W. Norton in 2026. Her first book, Jason Molina: Riding with the Ghost — the focus of this episode — was published in 2017 and named a Best Music Book of the year by Pitchfork. Her book about John Prine's landmark debut album was published by Bloomsbury's 33 1/3 series. In Jason Molina: Riding with the Ghost, Erin presents a detailed, human account of the Rust Belt–born musician Jason Molina — a visionary, prolific, and at times cantankerous singer-songwriter with an autodidactic style that captivated his devoted fans. It details Molina's personal trials and triumphs and reveals for the first time the true story of his last months and works. Offering unfettered access to the mind and artistry of Molina through exclusive interviews with family, friends, and collaborators, the book also explores the Midwest music underground and the development of Bloomington, Indiana–based label Secretly Canadian. As the first authorized and detailed account of this prolific songwriter and self-mythologizer, Riding with the Ghost provides readers with unparalleled insight into Molina's tormented life and the fascinating Midwest musical underground that birthed him. In this episode host Michael Shields and Erin Osmon discuss how Molina's deep ties and affinity to the state that birthed him (Ohio) shaped his life and influenced his career. They explore Molina's surprising and varied musical influences, the comparison to singer-songwriter Will Oldham which shadowed Molina throughout his career, the birth of the timeless classic album that is Magnolia Electric Co., and so much more.

Had a go at making the show as pretty as I could, influenced by Amelia Empson's gorgeous song 'Closer'. She's my new favorite thing. Strayed off the track a bit in a couple of places, James McMurtry ain't that purdy, Jason Molina is just plain dark, but mainly true to sweeter sounds of the American persuasion.

The Eastern and Western halves of Washington can seem like two different states; one dry and pastoral, the other overcast and lush. Rob Joynes is a singer-songwriter who's music captures these two contrasting landscapes. Raised on the East side of the Cascade Mountain Range, Joynes often invokes his home town of Spokane directly in his lyrics. Pairing themes of queer identity, abjection, family and aging with piano driven melodies and sentimental guitar riffs influenced by artists like Red House Painters, Jason Molina, Carissa's Wierd and Kath Bloom. Joynes presently resides in Seattle and contributes to bands Sunnyland and Fell Off. robjoynes.bandcamp.com felloff.bandcamp.com sunnyland.bandcamp.com IG : @rob_joynes
New Jersey band CR and The Nones present their new album 'The Ghosts Are Coming Home', released via Montclair-based Magic Door Record Label. Gennone came of age playing in various projects in suburban New Jersey, including his former band, CR and The Degenerates, who released five albums from 2016 to 2018. This new project has allowed him to expand the unique hybrid of folk, country, punk, and heartland rock. CR and The Nones retains the Degenerates' core of Chris Gennone, lead/slide guitarist Jim Abbott, and bassist John Dewitt. Recalling past Garden State guitar music, Gennone's soulful vocals and his band's driving hooks invoke roads, journeys, and forward motion in general. Counting Neil Young and Jason Molina among major influences, his sound has always been propulsive. In 2020, CR and The Nones released their debut album 'Living In Fear' via Favorite Friend Records. Mixed by renowned producer Ray Ketchem (Guided By Voices, Luna, Versus, Elk City, Gramercy Arms) at Magic Door Recording Studio in Montclair, NJ, this album was selfproduced by Chris Gennone (CR to his friends) and mastered by Nick Bolton at Bolton Sound in Jersey City. 'The Ghosts Are Coming Home' is a culmination of the sound and aesthetic that CR Gennone has been building over many years and multiple bands. With an expansiveness and introspection that recalls The War on Drugs or early My Morning Jacket, the ten tracks here showcase an irresistible sincerity and heartfelt delivery. "I wrote and recorded this album before, during and after Covid, and I lived in five different places during this time, so it was a different experience than other stuff I've made. In the past, we've kind of just rolled with it and come up with guitar leads, riffs, and sounds on the fly. With Covid lockdowns and the help of some friends, this record really gave me the time and space to write and play my own leads, sing my own harmonies, change arrangements, and take on more of the production aspect of it," says CR Gennone.

De quien era more than words? De nadie que fuera a estar invitada al cumpleaños de who the fuck is Mick Jagger? De nadie que haya desaparecido en alguna parte y ahora vayamos a extrañar como el desierto extraña la lluvia. Si había una guerra, y la canción de protesta venía desde antes, esa noche celebraban 30 años de la respuesta está soplando en el viento. Ahora suena la canción que dice que al final de todo, siempre, pero siempre vamos a volver a la radio. No fue el Billy Joel, el que empezó el fuego, y prefiero no nombrar muchos más porque vamos a quedar todos escuchando lo que el piano man tenía para decirle a los gin tonics, y yo no quiero mas nada que la botella de agua que está arriba de la mesa alta en la que vuelvo a hacer girar discos, pero no necesito aterrizar la aguja en el surco, tampoco voy a tomar una cancion triste y hacerla sonar contenta. Brian Eno dijo algo de aca vienen los jets calentitos, y el otro de sparklehorse, además de cambiar la canción del pobre Jules, dijo que venían unos pájaros y en las alas traían dolor. Traigan a Cher lo más rápido que puedan, ella creía en algo que es justo lo que se precisa. El mismo disco de buen dia araña, bien claro decía, estoy enfermo de adioses. Este adiós puede ser tan largo como que te vaya bien en la transmisión de Jason Molina, dura una eternidad parecida a los siete minutos; de fumar el último cigarrillo, en un techo con un bar en un hotel en montevideo, en alguna parte de los pocitos. Volver a ser simple, es olvidarme completamente de quien lee, que lea el que tengas ganas. Puedo seguir esto hasta llegar a tu no sabes nada, porque nunca supiste lo que es amar a alguien. Ya se que fuiste al doctor y te dijo, que era un tonto, no estaba en la colina, por eso no pudiste verlo. Sin embargo había algo parecido a Kris, con un chaleco (muy parecido al que era de mi madre, que hoy llevo puesto, es negro, y fue lo ultimo que rescate cuando ya se estaban deshaciendo de las ultimas cosas que eran de ella), lo vio todo, supo bien lo que habia hacer, no decir nada, buscar la salida mas próxima, decirte aca esta mi hombro y si queres te canto un hombro, cantarte la de Me and Bobby Mc Gee, si eso ayuda a desenchufar eso que tenias metido en el oido y estaba molestando. p.d. Viva la radio en radiomundo as usual (same as Guinness) Una de esas si me tomaria, pero debería de tener poderes de convertir agua en cerveza negra irlandesa, pero esos poderes solo están en la imaginación.
In this week's episode, we talk to Lance from Bitter Buffalo Records and Caliche, about Songs: Ohia, The Magnolia Electric Co., and the heart of it all Jason Molina. From his amazing "two take" style of recording music to the folklore-like myth that he became after his death and his final Irish goodbye. Join us as we honor and pay respect to one of the greats of this generation.

Releasing nearly 20 albums over 15 years, singer/songwriter Jason Molina penned "bruised and barren songs of longing and lost salvation" (NPR). Delivered with a soul-cutting, unadorned tenor, his discography continues to connect with a devoted fan base through varied incarnations -- whether in a group dynamic as Magnolia Electric Co. under his first solo moniker, Songs: Ohia or his own birthname -- despite his death in 2013, at the age of 39. A particularly prolific period in the mid-00's saw the release of the 4-CD Magnolia box set Sojourner, encompassing full-band recordings with Steve Albini in Chicago, an alternate line-up in Virginia with Cracker frontman David Lowery producing, an EP's worth of tracks from Memphis' legendary Sun Studio, and Molina solo tapes from home. If the wide-range of performances weren't enough, Molina wanted to double-down on his mythological side by adding a ouija board and real chicken bones to the screen-printed wooden box. Eventually, label and artist settled on a celestial map and Magnolia medallion. They also put out a truncated version of this massive collection as the 10-track single LP, Fading Trails in 2006. Today, former Magnolia bandmate Jason Evans Groth and Secretly Canadian label co-founder Ben Swanson discuss their memories of the sessions that make up Sojourner, the journey this project has taken to get to vinyl (released earlier this month, available via secretlystore.com), and how artists today continue to spread the gospel of Molina's canon a decade after his passing. Follow @jasonamolina on Instagram for archival content, and join the Molina fan community via staticanddistance.substack.com. Secretly Canadian is also auctioning off vinyl test pressings of Molina's work and more via eBay, linked here. All proceeds are donated to housing non-profit New Hope for Families.
Coachella is upon us, so Steve and Ian felt it was appropriate to talk about the music festival. But do you really need to talk about Coachella on an indie music podcast these days? This year's lineup might be the least indie-oriented in history, continuing a long-running trend favoring pop and electronic music. To illustrate this point, they revisited the 2013 lineup, a year when The Stone Roses, Blur, Phoenix and lots of other bands who might not even be booked at the festival in 2023 were the heavy hitters (3:13).Then they turned to Running With Our Eyes Closed, the recent HBO documentary about Jason Isbell and the making of his 2020 album, Reunions (15:14). Unlike most recent music docs, this film does not feel like a commercial for the subject. It is, instead, a very candid look at a marriage going through a rough patch. In fact, the film might be almost too honest in places; this is the rare music doc that doesn't flatter its subjects. Directed by Sam Jones, who also made 2002's similarly frank Wilco doc I Am Trying To Break Your Heart, Running With Our Eyes Closed ranks with the best rock films to come out in recent years.In the mailbag section, they addressed questions about The Walkmen — who recently reunited for a tour — and their overall legacy, as well as the career of Songs: Ohia singer-songwriter Jason Molina, who has emerged as an important influence on contemporary Americana and post-hardcore acts (33:11).New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

Cynthia Cruz, author of 'The Melancholia of Class: A Manifesto for the Working Class' joins Psychotherapist Harriet Fraad and Substance Abuse Councillor Ikoi Hiroe to discuss the 'invisibility' of class, the cost of assimilation into the middle class, eating disorders, substance abuse and many other issues. 'To be working-class in a middle-class world is to be a ghost. Excluded, marginalised, and subjected to violence, the working class is also deemed by those in power to not exist. We are left with a choice between assimilation into middle-class values and culture, leaving our working-class origins behind, or total annihilation. In The Melancholia of Class, Cynthia Cruz analyses how this choice between assimilation or annihilation has played out in the lives of working-class musicians, artists, writers, and filmmakers — including Amy Winehouse, Ian Curtis, Jason Molina, Barbara Loden, and many more — and the resultant Freudian melancholia that ensues when the working-class subject leaves their origins to “become someone,” only to find that they lose themselves in the process.'

Con la excusa del 20 aniversario del álbum de Songs: Ohia, "Didn't It Rain", nos acercamos a la figura del compositor, cantante y guitarrista Jason Molina, desde la admiración a un aritsta de culto dentro de la música americana de raíces. Canciones oscuras e intensas que nos hablan de demonios interiores. Música que duele y sana a partes iguales. Todo en vinilo excepto un tema de Sojourner, que suena en cd.
2009 would prove a pivotal year in Jason Molina's life, a turning point that would lead to his tragic death only a few, short years later. But as he embarked on a batch of solo studio sessions in London that January––the sessions that would become Eight Gates––it would have been nearly impossible to imagine that they would be his last.
Jason Molina's friends and collaborators were well versed in his penchant for tall tales and his use of “truthlets”––benign fibs––in the service of a good story. But as Molina's problems with alcohol began to flare, the lines between truth and fiction seemed to grow increasingly blurry.
Oh boy. That could be applicable to any number of situations brought about by this episode. My guest, Will Johnson, is, in my humble opinion, a behemoth of the indie folk rock scene. Partially in thanks to his collaborations with artists such as Jason Molina, Vic Chestnutt, and the Monsters of Folk crew(i.e. Connor Oberst, Jim James, M. Ward and Mike Mogis). His particular brand of raw, introspective folk is completely captivating and singularly unique. With that being said, it is an absolute pleasure and honor for me to have had this conversation with him about a record that was inspiring to him on so many levels, that I'll just leave it to him to describe.

Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co. frontman Jason Molina was living in London when writer Justin Taylor caught up with him for an interview in 2010. This previously unreleased audio finds Molina in good spirits, discussing life in London, and provides a rare glimpse of his gregarious, often talebearing personality––one perhaps at odds with his darker musical persona.

Hey Y'all. One of my favorite memories of Drew was seeing him cover Songs:Ohia songs solo during an apartment show in Inman Sq. Out of all the Jason Molina songs covered that time after his death, I always remembered Drew's interpretation being one of the most endearing. Thanks for listening. Stay safe y'all. j.

Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher are joined by author Cynthia Cruz to discuss The Melancholia of Class: A Manifesto for the Working Class. A mix of memoir, cultural theory, and polemic, Cruz's latest work addresses the personal and social consequences of the marginalization of America's majority population, its working class. Cruz speaks about what inspired her to write the book and how she came to focus on the lives of certain famous working-class people, like musicians Amy Winehouse and Ian Curtis (who both died tragically in their 20s), and Jason Molina (who made it to 39), actress Barbara Loden, and others. How did they and Cynthia contend with the hegemonic “middle-class” culture's shaming of working-class characteristics? Denial and repression of working-class consciousness is encouraged in our society. This repression is seen as a precondition for success, but it mangles the soul and shreds the bonds of social solidarity that are the foundation of community and provide a sense of belonging. 173 years after Marx and Engels recast the working class as the protagonist of history in their Manifesto, Cruz does the same in hers. Also, Amia Srinivasan, author of The Right to Sex: Feminism in the 21st Century, returns to recommend Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers' Rights by Molly Smith and Juno Mac, who are both British sex workers.

Many thanks to James for his time, talent and vulnerability this week. You can check out James' music on his Bandcamp page or by watching the video that he and his landlord (!) made for All of Arkansas the lead single on his most recent album Stars Blue Wheel. You can also follow him on the socials. As you may have gathered from Katie's review this week, Songs: Ohia is a band in pretty heavy rotation here at TVK HQ. Accordingly, when James proposed a story based on Farewell Transmission I was pretty excited. If you were listening closely, I used brief clips of two versions of the song in this week's episode. The album version and the demo which is all the more lovely for having been, seemingly recorded outside with the birds and cicadas playing their part. As always, I'd encourage you to listen to the whole song either before or after you listen to the show and if you, like me, end up falling hard for Jason Molina's work you might want to listen to Didn't it Rain , The Lioness (which has, for my money, one of the sexiest choruses ever recorded) or maybe this acoustic version of Hold On Magnolia which has stopped my heart more than once during the production of this week's show. Such a great talent, taken too soon.As always, you can get in touch with The Volume Knob on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or at our website volumeknob.net.Do you have a story about the song that saved your life? Send it to me at volumeknobpod@gmail.com.
Jason Molina is one of the most capable, compelling, and confounding musicians of the last quarter century. We're celebrating his life and work as we mark five years since his passing in the spring of 2013. To do so, you'll hear from "Jason Molina: Riding With the Ghost" author Erin Osmon, Jim James, Scott Avett, Strand of Oaks frontman Tim Showalter, and Secretly Canadian Records co-founder Ben Swanson.
This week on The One You Feed we have Timothy Showalter from Strand of Oaks. Strand of Oaks aka Timothy Showalter just released one of the years best records. Heal has been celebrated by NPR, Pitchfork, Mojo and Uncut among many others. It's one of our favorite records of the year. The story behind Heal: "From the first bars of HEAL, the exhilarating melodic stomp of 'Goshen '97' puts you right into Tim Showalter's fervent teenage mindset. We find him in his family's basement den in Goshen, IN, feeling alienated but even at 15 years old, believing in the alchemy and power of music to heal your troubles. "The record is called HEAL, but it's not a soft, gentle healing, it's like scream therapy, a command, because I ripped out my subconscious, looked through it, and saw the worst parts. And that's how I got better." HEAL embodies that feeling of catharsis and rebirth, desperation and euphoria, confusion and clarity. It is deeply personal and unwittingly anthemic.Showalter was on tour, walking home on a mild autumn night in Malmo, Sweden, when he first felt the weight of the personal crisis that would ignite him to write HEAL. "It was a culmination of pressure," Showalter recalls. "My marriage was suffering, I'd released a record I was disappointed in, I didn't like how I looked or acted...so I'd gone on tour, I was gone about two years! I didn't take time to think about failure, but I knew I was going deeper and deeper...I was thinking, I have this life, but it's not my life, I haven't done it right..."When Showalter returned, he wrote 30 songs in three weeks, a process that proved difficult, but cathartic and at times invigorating. Previous Strand Of Oaks records were more skeletal, raw examples of folk-rooted Americana with occasional rock and electronic currents, that have now come to the fore. HEAL is a bold new beginning, with a thrilling full-tilt sound that draws on Showalter's love of '70s, '80s and '90s rock and pop, with the singer and guitarist playing the intense valedictory confessor. In This Interview Tim and I Discuss... The One You Feed parable. The great success of his new record. The saddest line on his new record. The importance of feeling all of our emotions, not just the good ones. How hard it is to write uplifting music that isn't cheesy. Disliking ironic music. The redemptive power of rock and roll. How we care less about what people think as we age. The power of being our authentic selves. Becoming who we are. Avoiding the victim/villain mindset. Jason Molina of Songs:Ohia.
