I know I just posted on the weekend saying I wasn't posting on Boduf Songs, but.... So you think you know evil? Well I don't think you know it like Boduf Songs emanates it. Pulsing and dark with an ominous soundtrack provided by Matthew Sweet. Yes, a man with a surname of Sweet, brings this "at twilight lost in a forest" acoustic driven performance above that I am quickly becoming a follower of. Now with all the evil analogies past us, the music is [...]
All the news that's fit to print... The Animal Collective website is rather mystifying today. You have the typeface and album art of Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished / Danse Manitee (with the mysterious words " Merriweather Post Pavilion " and "January") plastered across the index.html, coupled with an awesome but inexplicable fish video thing. Merriweather Post Pavilion , as per Google, is a rather large outdoor amphitheater outside Baltimore. Since January outdoor concerts in Maryland are [...]
boduf songs quiet when group 2008 (française version) Suis-je réellement invisible ou l'obscurité m'a-t-elle simplement englouti ? Dans la nuit, qui peut savoir? Si je ne bouge pas et me tiens calme, mon poids seul, sur les lattes les plus fragiles du plancher, trahira-t-il ma faible présence? de souffle égaré ou d'âme épuisée? " Plus nous grandirons et plus profonde seront les ténèbres du cachot qui nous entoure " m'a traversé... [...]
This is the, what, third time I've referenced Sesame Street on this blog. I love Sesame Street. If I wasn't a lame 9-to-5er, I would still watch it. So today's news roundup is brought to you by the letter B - Boredoms, Benoit Pioulard, Boduf Songs, Bedhead, the /b/ board, baseball, booters, and the Bear Market Bailout. Botta bing! Anyway, there are so many songs (11 MP3s to be exact), and so much content here, that I have no idea what to categorize this post as. So consider this your News and Super Swingin' Mix for [...]
Tomorrow's International Talk Like A Pirate day, everybody. Get psyched I guess? Yeah me neither. But any excuse to pause and appreciate new Lambchop is a good one, and Wagner's crew have penned an ode perfect for sharing on the eve of Peter Sarsgaard's favorite day . It's rollicking and rootsy, but far from a novelty song, and not exactly in the running to be a theme song for the pirate parroting population, either. Sings Kurt:
Mat Sweet's latest work under the Boduf Songs name continues to fall like the essence of darkness on anyone who listens. Pessimism becomes Sweet though, as his songwriting exudes the very core of isolation; hushed, haunted and excruciating to the very end. But such isolation acts as the perfect companion to the listener, and though his themes of death and darkness seem disheartening, there's a certain solace to be found in sentiments like the album's opening line, "All of my heroes died the same day." Especially in such seemingly dour times its nice to know that Sweet is out there [...]
"Bell for Harness" by Boduf Songs which clocks in at 9:37 From time to time EAR FARM enjoys featuring guest posts in the long-running 8+ feature. To that end, I'd like to once again invite any and all of you to get in touch if you're interested in writing your own 8+ to be featured here (see previous 8+ guest posts HERE ). The only guidelines: you must write about a song longer than eight minutes and the song you're writing about can not be a recording of a live [...]
Some quiet songs this morning. To help ease my delicate disposition. For yes readers, I overindulged in the world of alcohol last night. Or to be more precise, in the wonderful world of vodka. Wonderful until this morning that is, where it now feels like my brain is trying to escape through my skull using whatever large, heavy tools it can lay it's hands on. So I have called on the services of some gentle songs to wash over me and ease my self inflicted pain. And frankly, I can't think of anyone [...]

I needed this...To wash off this day with some haunting acoustic melodies that seep in and take me far away...I kind of feel like no matter what I do, no matter how hard I work or how much effort, heart or will I put forth ends up not making a bit of difference...You ever get that feeling? It is hard for me to accept failure, mistakes, errors...But what really bothers me is when you put forth so much effort and then something goes wrong that is out of your control and yet somehow all fingers are pointing at [...]
[ October 30, 2006 / bookmark ] LIVE BODUF SONGS MP3: The name Boduf Songs is the moniker of a single guy, Mat Sweet , who makes space-folk like few others. At least, like few others alive. There is a taste of John Fahey's Zen minimalism in his simply plucked lines, and of the recently deceased Syd Barrett in his intense insularity. (There's also an echo of early Paul Simon, but that's the maudlin, introspective 1960s icon, not the world-pop artist we know today.) Sweet milks light feedback for its [...]
