	MTV.com - Smog
		An under-recognized pioneer of the lo-fi revolution, Smog was essentially the alias of one Bill Callahan, an enigmatic singer/songwriter whose odd, fractured music neatly epitomized the tenets and excesses of the home-recording boom.
		Led off by the remarkable "Bathysphere" (its title a fitting metaphor for Callahan's self-absorption) and climaxed by the epic "Prince Alone in the Studio" (a virtual theme song for a solitary creative existence), the LP reflected his bitter obsessions with stunning clarity, emerging as a triumph of abject failure.
		The peripatetic Callahan relocated to Chicago prior to the release of 1999's Knock Knock, resurfacing in the spring of 2000 with Dongs of Sevotion and the Strayed EP.

	EvilSponge: Concert: SMOG w/ Husky
		The first thing I noticed was that, although the backing band was competent, the musicians seemed to pay more attention to Callahan's playing than to their own.
		While on the surface this would seem to be a good thing (after all Smog really is Bill Callahan), the emphasis this placed on Callahan's somewhat rudimentary strumming highlighted a certain void in his technique.
		Still, somehow, the luster was off of Smog's performance and the overall effect they had on me was one of slight disappointment (and perhaps disillusionment).

	Smog - August 11th, 2005 in Cambridge, MA
		The band's compositions are long, owing a bit to the 70s progressive rock, and even some of the 60s psychedelia.
		Callahan was joined by a touring band consisting of Jim White (of Dirty Three) on drums, Colleen Burke (of We Ragazzi) on bass, and Jason Dezember on electric guitar.
		Callahan's mood was hard to read, but he did perform his silly shuffle (this largely consists of hopping side-to-side from one outstretched leg to the other) at various points throughout the night as well as a "dance" move involving bending down on trembling knees.

		When the idea was broached to have the Smog record originals for the band’s first full-length album, Louris, Tweedy, Murphy and Johnson each had songs at the ready that hadn’t fit with their other bands.
		"I think in the Smog, everybody was kind of going through the same stuff in their lives," Murphy says tentatively, knowing he is opening the door to the subject of the personal struggles he and others in the band have endured over the last four years.

	* Dusted Features [ An Interview with (Smog) ] *
		Beginning in the late 1980s, when he first began to release lo-fi home-recordings under the Smog moniker, and continuing without pause through this year’s Supper, Bill Callahan has recorded a body of work as diverse as it is accomplished.
		(Smog) records not only stand apart from their dozens of slack imitators (“Recommended if you like Smog” is probably the most grasping of the typical blurbs found on indie rock press sheets) but also, to a lesser extent, from each other.
		Live (Smog) shows tend to be liberally freckled with old favorites, and Callahan makes a conscious point of resuscitating new-old songs before departing for a tour.

		But the band, also including Kraig Johnson of Run Westy Run on guitar/vocals and Noah Levy of The Honeydogs on drums, are not just a rag tag band of players seeking to throw some rootsy, country charm your way.
		Golden Smog, gaining acclaim on the alternative country circuit, proved at a crowded Paradise Club Monday that they are able to meld their collective talents for an enjoyable evening amidst a loose atmosphere on stage.
		In listening to the band's recent "Down by the Old Mainstream," the listener is left feeling uncertain whether this is a serious effort or just a bunch of musicians goofing in the comforts of a studio.

		The band slowly laid down to rest in late ‘74, but would again appear together years later to play reunion gigs, without the late Chris Bell.
		Bands that got on the album were those who Stephens knew and called up to be on it, which includes Whiskeytown and The Posies.

		Golden Smog is not a supergroup, it's more like...this little thing that kind of happened...on a day off from work.
		The real Golden Smog started, I'd say, when Kraig Johnson [of Run Westy Run] was offered a gig at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis." They worked out a bunch of classic rock covers, played 'em loosely and to their astonishment, the crowd loved it.
		Even though Soul Asylum was becoming a platinum selling band and the Jayhawks were growing out of their clubland roots, the guys made it a point to congregate for their annual descent into bar bandom.

		In case you missed it, Stephens' old band, Big Star, labored in obscurity and through divisive personality conflicts through the early '70s, only to be deified by indie-rockers in the late '80s.
		She described the band, and I had met Jeff Tweedy in New York a year prior to that when he opened for Johnny Cash.
		Stephens says the key to the band is the mutual respect of the members, who get together to play music the way some guys get together to play cards.

		This was in the high-water days of indie rock, when little bands from weird towns toured the whole country in beat-up Dodge vans, playing gigs to half-empty clubs on Tuesday nights and forging bonds with individuals in the crowd.
		The band consisted of two equally talented singer/songwriter/guitarists, and when it broke up, in 1995, these two formed their own bands.
		The band has definitely imbibed a lot of Bruce Springsteen and John Cougar Mellencamp, although it does try to adulterate those influences with patches of R.E.M. and the Byrds.
