Jack Logan - Bulk

Bulk is an unsung lo-fi indie classic. The story goes that Jack Logan, a pool motor repairman from Athens, GA, spent a decade rackin up quite a catalog of bedroom folk material, something to the tune of 600 songs. Luckily he got noticed for making some comic starring Pete Buck of R.E.M. as a superhero, so here are 42 tracks from that selection. This dude is a genius. Jack doesn't stick to one particular genre, hopping from folk to post-punk to country to blues and more with every track. The only thing that remains constant is the feeling that you're listening to an intensely personal bedroom album by a reclusive muse. My faves include "The Parishioners," which features the late, great fellow Athens resident Vic Chesnutt on vocals, a badass stripped-down cover of Neil Young's "On The Beach"... shit, there's too much on here to choose from. It's a shame that the most attention that this guy's ever gotten came from his part on an episode of Space Ghost Coast 2 Coast. On second thought, that isn't a shame. That rules. great episode btw

and ah hell why not
