Hey everyone,
Hope you’re all doing good.
Today we have a little round-up of some recent things we’ve come across that we think you might be into.
From an interesting chat with Okkervil River’s Will Sheff discussing his relationship with Jason to some of the Chicago S:O crew joining Glen Hansard on-stage recently to play some of Jason’s music - we hope you enjoy digging through this.
All the best,
Harry

"If you knew Molina, you knew him as a devoted myth-maker. We talked about the future, and touring more."
Jason's former agent Adam Voith recently published a great piece in Paste on working with Songs: Ohia and the economics of early 2000's touring.

Adam also spoke to S&D further about Jason and his music here

He also had a special way of recording himself that embraced the physical space and time he found himself in at the moment.
Another recent S&D post we’d just like to give another push was this recent catch up with a number of the S:O / Magnolia musicians on some of their recent musical projects which also features a really lovely piece of writing by Magnolia’s Pete Schreiner on his time working with Molina.
