Forest Mountain Hymnal: "Buckeye Jim" (Burl Ives Cover)

Nov 10, 2011, 8:40pm The Wounded Jukebox
Forest Mountain Hymnal- "Buckeye Jim"
We of the music writing and commenting arena love gimmicks. Whether it be a background story, or a nifty band characteristic, we seem to latch on and push those features up as if they're the most important thing about the people behind the songs. It's a problem and we acknowledge it. So when we met [...]

Black Jet Radio - The Wayfaring Stranger

Sep 5, 2011, 8:24pm blahblahblahscience
Black Jet Radio - The Wayfaring Stranger Fort Wayne, Indiana's Black Jet Radio have reformed and offered up two new releases. "The Wayfaring Stranger" plays both classic and fresh. Eerily the band's grimier rock undertones do nothing but help roughen up the pretty portrayal of a soulful standard too far past.

THE POOR WAYFARING STRANGER:

Apr 23, 2010, 9:46am Nine Bullets
THE POOR WAYFARING STRANGER: It's been a while since I just wrote about a song (the others are here and here ), and even though this won't actually get posted for a week or more, tonight is made for a night of meditating on "Wayfaring Stranger". This weekend was horribly overshadowed by death with an internet/real life acquaintance losing his wife many decades before he should have, and our tech guru, Trevor, losing a pet. I know some of you have no idea how sad losing a pet can be, but anyone who's ever lost [...]

What's on in Edinburgh This Week? Fucking Christmas, that's What

Dec 21, 2009, 7:24am Song, by Toad
What's on in Edinburgh This Week? Fucking Christmas, that's What It's just vaguely possible that there are some amazing gigs taking place somewhere I know not where in Edinburgh this week, but in all honestly I do not give a tinker's cuss. It's Christmas, you should all either be wrapping presents, buying the bastards, or just cooking something nice and stopping in with friends and family with some nice music. Far be it from me to lecture people on how to enjoy themselves but... well, you know me well enough by now, I'm going to do it anyway aren't I. So honestly, balls to gigs this week, there's [...]

Friday Might Not Even Have Been Here at All

Oct 16, 2009, 5:45am Song, by Toad
Friday Might Not Even Have Been Here at All Mrs. Toad and I went out for dinner last night and I mentioned the fact that I have now been in Edinburgh for over four years - the longest I've lived anywhere since I left Vienna in 1987 after six years. That's weird, really, because I kind of moved here by accident. Certainly I didn't have it even in the back of my mind to move here back in 2003 when we first started seeing each other (we met in 1991, but that's a different story). At that point I had just divested myself of a particularly tenacious [...]

I'm Going Away: New Fiery Furnaces album gets me all sorts of excited

Apr 29, 2009, 11:51am The Post-Rockist
While Scotter harbors his inexplicable blog-crush for the shrill Joanna Newsom, there's still no band that gets me quite as hot and bothered as the inimitable Fiery Furnaces. I guess where he finds sustenance in the pomp and flutter of courtly Elizabethan balladry, my heart is tickled by winding Germanic meta-narratives filled with labrynthine plot [...]

TV News Producer Cheatsheet: Offbeat News Stories (with accompanying bumper music)

Feb 11, 2009, 9:18am EAR FARM
Bumper music is "a term used in the radio broadcasting industry to refer to short clips of music used to buffer transitions between programming elements. Bumper music is commonly employed when a syndicated program takes a break for local station identification or goes to commercial." (above control room image from HERE ) Often you'll see pop songs used to "bump" offbeat or curious news stories on cable news channels, many times the music isn't so well chosen... well, we're here to help (as we have previously HERE and HERE ).

Best Christmas Mix Ever

Dec 17, 2008, 8:26pm False 45th
My family is big on the Christmas season - choosing a tree, cookie decorating, first sledding tracks, etc. Vermont makes the cheer pretty contagious, with blankets of snow and a multitude of Rockwellian scenes. The frustrating part for me has been locating the perfect soundtrack. I've purchased an embarrassing number of really bad holiday compact discs. Each time I purchase a new one I hold out that it will have classic tunes, a jolly spirit, and perhaps some interesting newbies. Sadly they seem to be rife with absolutely annoying tracks (Wham, Kenny G, Chipmunks). This [...]

Said the Guests: The Whiskers

Jun 26, 2008, 11:45am Said the Gramophone

Jan 16, 2008, 8:36am Music @ Blogcritics.org

Legendary folk-singer, Oscar-winning actor, star of radio, TV and Broadway, but someone who in recent years is probably most often heard during the holidays.
