Instead of posting my usual "Critical Theory Tuesday" post, I denied myself the intellectual masturbation and settled for actual masturbation. I just rediscovered
Right Away, Great Captain! in my music collection and I fell in love all over again. What is
Right Away, Great Captain! you ask? Well, it is the folk side project of indie rock front-man Andy Hull. I had the fortunate pleasure of seeing him perform live last March with his main band,
Manchester Orchestra. He is so damn talented, and when that man is on stage, he rocks like a god. Also, did I mention that I'm salivating just thinking about it? Musically gifted, an elegant wordsmith, beardy as all hell. I want to get lost in the mountains with him. And a guitar. And a bottle of whiskey. And hypothermia... so he is forced to keep me warm...
Now for some gratuitously irrelevant photos. Oh and maybe an obligatory embedded youtube video.
Please note the range. He can go from being heartbreaking and improvising lines about BEING A SHIP CAPTAIN to rocking my fucking ass off. Thank you, Andy Hull, for making me all hot and bothered.
sigh.
