http://btjunkie.org/torrent/Johnny-Hobo ... 6ee534a878 Incredible stuff, I haven't found it on here yet so I thought I'd post this. It's like the mountain goats or neutral milk hotel of folk punk. To me at least.
i ahte johnny hobo , i heard he wasnt really a train hopper and atarted wingnut dishwashers union because he stopped drinking and that was part of his change
^ doubt any of thats true, he came out of rehab recently for drug problems, and besides any of that he writes killer tunes so jam your hype!
He started wingnut dishwasher's union because he wanted to be a more positive deadbeat instead of one that just drank was waiting to die. And that's what he actually said, or at least what he told me. I hardly consider that anything to be despised.
sounds like it could be good, tried to download it, but my computer can't recognise it any ideas?? or cleaver tricks? i'm not very up on technology!
it' a torrent file,so u need a program for it.install utorrent and the you can download it http://www.utorrent.com/
This group are trendy as fuck where I live...same with Leftover Crack. Makes me annoyed by them (especially since some kids call them both "Crust Punk"...yeah, liten to Nausea and Doom and then talk to me buddy)
I'll admit it, I dig Johnny Hobo (and a bit of other folk/punk)...AND I rock a Doom logo (in one form or another) on like half the shit I own.
This guy came through this town a couple of times while I was living elsewhere. Every younger kid WORSHIPPED this guy by the time I came back. His stuff is alright. At least he ignited a small folk punk / DIY scene here that lasted about a half a year till the kids moved on to the next thing. That thing was jam bands..
I dig it, but it's like, I get it dude, you do drugs. Pat has a ton of catchy songs though, that go hand in hand with when I'm drinking and feeling down on myself. My favorite from that web of bands [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8YHVQGfFLs&feature=player_embedded[/video] or this one. [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIguqRH6VpM[/video]
Yeah the issue is that the kids are calling this music that really has nothing to do with Crust "Crust Punk"...I've got no issue with people enjoying those bands, I just get annoyed when people "abuse" the Crust Punk genre tag what with it being my favorite genre/scene and all...happens a lot more with Leftover Crack kinda shit then with Johnny Hobo stuff though. I dunno I guess kids here think Crust = nothing but doing a fuck ton of drugs
Yeah anyone who calls it "crust' is, best case scenario: ill informed or worst case scenario: a complete fucking idiot.
Thanks a fucking ton, mate. I just recently found Johnny Hobo among other great folk punk bands such as Mischief Brew and countless of others, and its all i have been listening to lately. Everytime i listen to Johnny Hobo, i feel like getting wasted and breaking shit while singing along these fucking great songs. Thanks again!
he definetly made up the name johnny hobo.... as a joke and didnt hop trains. but i know him and have toured with him and he's been through a lot of shit and done a ton of amazing things, not to mention growing a lot as a songwriter since then. i love drinkin to these oldies too, but his newest stuff with ramshackle glory is ten times better, and actually stands for something. people have hated on him for all the wrong reasons. just because a bunch of crusties like this stuff, doesn't make it crust either, especially since "crusties" refers more to the gutter punk lifestyle rather than the type of music. plop. i'm done.
pat needs to come to the uk. who gives a shit what genre he fits into and what type of fucked up kids listen to him as long hes making music and opening people minds thats all that matters. i need to excpirience ramshackle live or a band like them can any one name me some UK artists i may enjoy \m/
The site seems to be taken down. Here's a Johnny Hobo torrent that's still up and running. Not sure if this is the same set of songs as the original link, but it covers a good chunk of his work. Anarchy and catchy tunes for all \m/ https://archive.org/details/SongsByJohn ... ightTrains
Most of his songs are written by his friend who died but he still wrote a lot of it im pretty sure he was still a traveler at some point
