Smog is a man named Bill Callahan. For some reason or other, he's recently started just using his real name professionally.I first heard Smog on the High Fidelity soundtrack (I get introduced to lots of new-to-me artists through soundtracks -- I can name 3 people I now love whom I heard first on the Big Lebowski soundtrack), with his song "Cold-Blooded Old Times."
"Vessel In Vain" used to be my favorite Bill Callahan song, until last year when he released Woke On A Whaleheart, which includes the song "Sycamore." Now THAT is my favorite Bill Callahan song. (If anyone asks, I can post that one soon.)
PS -- Sorry for the slack over the last two days. More Stagger Lee tomorrow!
