Bill Callahan, born in Silver Spring, Maryland. Callahan pioneered the lo-figenre of underground rock, with homemade tape-albums recorded on four track tape recorders. Later he signed a record contract with the label drag city. Callahan started out as a highly experimentalartist, utilizing sub-standard instruments and recording equipment. His reason for using the lo-fi approach was not so much an aesthetic choice, rather it came from his lack of knowledge of recording studios, and fear of giving up control to professional engineers.

Devotion Lyrics
Smog
There are some terrible gossips in this town
There are some terrible gossips in this town
With jaws like vices
And eyes like drains
There are some little weasels in this town
Scampering around loose
With yellow teeth
And the beady eyes
We should set a standard amount of words
That I am to say to these
We should set a standard type of look
That you are to give to me
When you wanna leave
There are some terrible gossips in this town
With jaws like vices
And eyes like drains
I wont tell what they say about you
I wont flourish the shit
You are my dearest friend
And I will protect you
Until the end
With a will like vices
Complete as a drain
