you cure my depression with more depression *every time*

[@EverybodyHurts7]

I love how after the intro he just said "folk rock" 😂

[@n_b7467]

I was listening to FJM one day and a memory popped into my head. I went to see Fleet Foxes back in 2010 or something and met the band after the show. I shit my pants because I remembered I shook this man's hand before he was Father J!

[@grunkster]

Holy shit. You met Josh without knowing it was Josh

[@maxsanchez4006]

What an incredible session. Josh Tillman is a great songwriter of my generation. Glad he took a step out and went all-in with his new album, Pure Comedy.

[@afretfuldevil5582]

*the greatest

[@japrar]

One of the best albums I've ever heard in the past several years for sure, it never lets up from front to back.

[@jackray8420]

Birdie, tho

[@johnedward8352]

Pure Comedy is a great song. I think Honeybear is better though, song for song.

[@japrar]

They're both absolutely incredible albums, for sure! My favorite song overall by FMJ is probably True Affection. I just really love it when artists take a stab at some of these "big question" themes which are all over the new album. :)

[@denissedylan9991]

this man is such a genius, just love him to much

[@RecoveryFlower]

could you IMAGINE seeing him in this small of a venue and listening to him crack the most dry wonderful jokes im fucking dying

[@josef.david.mushpile]

He doesn't have eyebrows, but it doesn't look weird.

[@papaskazoo5860]

Josef David fuck, now I can’t unsee it

[@tailtaptailtap]

Pianist here. Worth a million schmackos

[@alexsetterington3142]

Are you a dog as well? Because that sounds like a valuation my dog would give if he could speak. But probably not to this, probably to some food or a female dog I guess.

[@alexsetterington3142]

I just realize schmakoes might not be in your country they are a brand of dog treats.

In May of Misty’s 2017 tour my best friend and I saw him in for the third time in Vancouvers Stanley Park at the Malkin Bowl.We we’re off galavanting around the outlying forests, had a maaajor bathroom emergency- searching for what felt endlessly for a washroom the doom of potentially shitting my pants was becoming reality... just then we found a barbed wire fence and climbed into private property, incredibly there sat a port a potty awaiting in golden light (it was actually abandoned and horrible but the deed was done), feeling we had just overcome a great feat, we ate an edible and came upon a tree, cut like a totem with large initials JT carved at the top... at this moment we heard sound check through the trees. We began running furiously, laughing, climbed and hopped another fence and joined the lineup. Bought a T-shirt. Josh’s performance was incredible of course, humour and gratitude was very much alive in us. Being witness to his beautifully orchestrated set as sunset fell over Vancouver was a form of magic. As his show came to a close, he hopped off stage and walked off to the right addressing fans who monkeyed to the front and grabbed his body and rejoiced him. My friend and I stood where we were, just smiling, I suddenly called out to him among all of the screaming and rush, a clear and friendly “hey Josh!” To my surprise, he turned and acknowledged me. He said hello. And I handed him my water bottle with my Duncan at Trussell Family Hour sticker on it, asking him if he would be a guest of the podcast again. He didn’t hear me fully and clarified asking me if I wanted him to take a drink. I replied.... go ahead! you must be parched. It was a hell of a show! He said, you know what? I am. Took a sip, and thanked me. He answered my question with his usual wit, and after I thanked him again for his performance he shook my hand.

[@alexsetterington3142]

That's disgusting you tricked him into shaking your dirty poopy hands. Also I find it a little bit hard to believe that he was happy to drink a mystery substance you offered and from a mystery bottle.

[@srg9671]

​@@alexsetterington3142hahaha this gave me a good laugh. thanks for commenting so I could relive this moment 💗

[@BREEP.]

Counting down the days till I get to see him October 💕

[@taymarion3475]

the memo is just gold. wonderful performance

[@Volgrus]

I just found this FJM is one of my favorite artists so it's a delight to find intimate concerts like this.

[@TheBigDean18]

His guitar strap is a seatbelt. Rad

[@kevinj4243]

Total Entertainment Forever gave me the fucking chills. Even after I’ve probably heard this song hundreds of times. The way the performed it was absolutely flawless.

[@jessefiloteo2217]

I need to know the context of that intro now

[@TeddyLovesBacon]

I wish I could give this 1k likes up. Very beautiful Josh. Thank you bro 🙏 💙🙏

Elliott Smith is one hell of a piano player...

[@hank-wg7or]

He does look like Elliott Smith lol

[@danchapman3611]

that har mar wink got my motor revving

[@karlpfund9098]

Universal arteries connecting universe through time and technology to a million hearts to become one, he wiped his chin. 😎💙✌️

[@ayyykassie]

he's so amazing....

[@harrisonlutman2486]

I laughed a lot at that "uncalled for" verse he inserted into I'm writing a novel.

[@songdanceman9881]

It’s the first line from T for Texas by Waylon Jennings

[@treborif]

your session cures my depression, your depression just makes me laugh, cry and get on with it - papa john, I do wonder what goes on in your head . . musicians have a special gift - making the people smile, laugh and just feel good for a while. No other skill/gift/ability in a human can do that - it is what sets humans apart . . I'd bet billy gates has no musical ability whatsoever . . ......

[@aydenscarlet]

holy shit

[@billbill5326]

In the midst of this corona virus pandemic, I needed some FJM.

Beautiful.

[@dasilveirapacheco]

Awesome performance...

[@jenduvak]

gorgeous performance

[@DanSainz]

He censored himself in The Memo, but then he said "I'll do Holy Shit"

[@yorkieinthemill]

"Have a good day, I guess?" Only FJM can end a performance and say that!!

[@boopsbucket]

why are my papa's ears so tiny

[@adriantomo5688]

good God this is cursed

[@boopsbucket]

@@adriantomo5688 papa why are your ears so tiny papa

[@sincerelyfine632]

papa is deaf

[@giantspirit3007]

Great performance and video. Gotta say though, the censoring is lame. It's art and the curses are kinda important.

[@kevinj4243]

Giant Spirit did you see all the baby boomers there? They’d feel insulted if someone swears in front of them

[@Mikerophone54]

This was edited for radio (The Current is a radio station in Minnesota). Unfortunately a radio station risks huge fines for airing profanities in this country.

[@rossallister7986]

excellent!

[@dylanshea2309]

JOSH A FULL COAT IN JUNE?? ps: great performance

[@dotmatrix3157]

Concert's at the "Icehouse" ^ ;)

[@glenndickson6835]

That Waylon verse tho 👌🏻

Obviously Sia wrote genius about you sir legend. 😎✌️👏💙

[@ancermet4754]

Can he please adopt me

[@gabrieljalmeida5668]

Andy Heras and me too pleasee

[@someguy175]

Great! But why the hell do they have to mute all the curse words...!?' c'mon people

[@Mikerophone54]

For radio.

[@brighteyescursive]

Does Current only bleep curses when he's singing? 33:08

[@Mikerophone54]

The music edits were made by the music mixer (me) for radio. Any curses in between songs were edited by the producer before the program went to air.

[@PaulieMainor]

These ads have the worst timing

Ayayayayay owowow schweeeeee wooooooooo fuckn whoooo these is such jams, I hope fjm doesn’t disappear like tupac I’ll have to do a terrible impersonation

I SAYD TEA FO TILMYAN.....T FOR THAT NO GOOD WOMAN THAT MADE'A BIG MESS OF ME.

[@xhildhood]

She looked at me and said "If you wanted something different, you would have different" I hate her. I wish I had never left Jersey. I hope somebody somewhere smiles, sings something beautiful.

[@kuro2797]

Has anyone felt that his performances beginning around 2018 aren't quite as emotive or done with finesse? He's also really ducked out of the public eye. Hope he's doing alright...

[@xhildhood]

the other day I decided to walk to the store. About halfway there a neighbors dog jumps out from behind a bush and onto the sidewalk, blocking my path. Growling and foaming at the mouth. The dog immediately went for my throat. I grabbed the dog a

[@GloryJZ]

The Guitar is too loud

[@jeffreystark435]

uber-melancholy. in small doses it's great to wade in it but not to bathe in. the young emo need inspiration not validation.

[@Gloominusdm]

Maybe for you, but some of us find inspiration in someone else's darkness.

[@s0ld4u]

It's curious, reading the comments here, that Misty's music just doesn't connect with me. I prefer economical lyrics that say just what needs to be said, whereas Misty seems to be trying to teach lessons with his lyrics at the same time he's trying to find the right words. Meh.

[@AmericanSpur]

not being snarky, just like hearing people's taste. who'd you say is better lyrically?

[@spencergray9665]

the lack of a reply must mean that they went and listened to FJM a little more and changed their mind lol

[@priyanshu3017]

I personally love the sophistication of the lyrics. Not everything needs to be served on the plate for it. There's fun in figuring stuff out too if u know what I mean :)

[@Gloominusdm]

Go listen to Katy Perry or Drake then. They say the same thing over and over.

[@sprfede]

he is pretty economical tbh. He isn't speaking in metaphors or anything complex... I just feels he has a little more to say than the regular rock act, which is consequential judging by his past in folk music. He is just writing poprock-level lyrics, to sophisticated themes. You can understand any lyric just by reading it, there's no hidden meaning behind anything.

[@JerrodVolzka]

I like some of your stuff, but this is biased. Be folk, not Post, Post modern Marxist. Please. I want to like you.

[@77baileymeister]

is it marxist? I don't understand... please explain

[@ToraFish86]

Yes. Please explain.
