Bonnie Prince Billy @ HG Ballroom 5/18

Posted By on Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 12:25 PM

Higher Ground just announced that Bonnie "Prince" Billy, a.k.a. Palace, a.k.a. Palace Songs, a.k.a. Palace Music, a.k.a. Palace Brothers, a.k.a. Will Oldham will make a return visit to VT on Monday, May 18. If I may, woo hoo!, a.k.a. hell yeah!, a.k.a. yippee!

Here's a clip from a recent performance in Tel Aviv.

And here is what still ranks as perhaps my all-time favorite Will Oldham moment (and yes, I know I've posted this one before, but it really is worth revisiting from time to time).

And here is some dude butchering a great song. I never realized how many of these types of vids there are out there (see the Jeff Tweedy post for another example). It's becoming an endless source of voyeuristic hilarity/depression.

He became assistant arts editor...
