Chris Smither: Coventry Carol [ unpurchaseable ] As I wrote about earlier this month over at Cover Lay Down , the conceit of the Holiday Classic is confounded a bit by the existence of several historical waves and source-period songtypes which, together, comprise the current spate of familiar tunes for the season, as heard on the radio, in the mall, and at the hearth itself. But though my own tastes generally run to the modern folkworld during the rest of the year, and though [...]

Photo of Ray Davies compliments of the artist Here are this weekend's XPN Welcomes concerts. FRIDAY NOVEMBER 18 Bell X1 is Ireland's best barely-kept secret. The group, originally known as Juniper, used to feature Damien Rice as its lead singer; unfortunately, it's still often recognized for that fact, rather than for its Talking Heads- and Flaming Lips-inspired fusion of rock and electronic music. Bell X1 is a sensation in Ireland, nominated for Best Irish Band at the Meteor Music Awards three different times. It was also nominated [...]

It's been a solid year for full-album coverage from single artists. Kris Delmhorst's summery Cars tribute and Thea Gilmore's transformative Dylan tribute alone held the line for excellence in the singer-songwriter categories. Eef Barzelay's Journey project , which transformed my childhood poprock into poignant, soulful solo pieces, turned out to be a great success; so did Ralph McTell's Dylan EP , duo Thomas Fox' tradfolk release , Sara Lov's full-album cover set , and Reid Jamieson's birthday tribute to his wife through the songs of 1969 , [...]

A short post by Darius over at Star Maker Machine late last week rang a bell; I hadn't realized that Danny O'Keefe had both penned and first performed The Road , which most of us know well through its coverage on Jackson Browne's definitive album Running on Empty, but I did recognize his name from the songwriting credits for Well, Well, Well - a song often attributed to co-writer Bob Dylan alone, but first recorded by Maria Muldaur.

I am not, by nature, a neat or well-organized person. Instead, I am cursed by ADHD, & natural tendencies towards entropy and laziness and procrastination, coupled with a pack-rat's collecting mentality and a keen visual sense of where I left things which makes tidying up an exercise in planned futility. And so, for the entirety of my adulthood, I have lived a life which, in its extreme moments, exhibits all the characteristics of relative squalor: clothes on every inch of the bedroom and bathroom floor, more dishes by the sink than in the [...]

Destroyer - Chinatown Republican Congressman Chris Smith has proposed a bill that would redefine rape where cases where a woman is drugged, given excess amounts of alcohol, women with limited mental capacity and even date rape would no longer be covered as rape. Right now federal dollars allocated for abortion only apply in cases of rape, incest or if their lives are being threatened. This bill would push back woman's rights by decades. As far too many women know, bruises and broken bones do not define rape - it's defined by a lack of [...]

As a defining event at the heart of the Western world's most dominant religion, the Christmas story is perhaps the most sung-about narrative in history. But it's not just its religious importance which makes Christ's birth so present in the air and the airwaves. The prophecy foretold; the kings, the star, the road; Bethlehem and the manger; Mary and Joseph - as a text, the multifaceted story breaks down into a dozen moments, stretching far enough for a myriad of narrative approaches, from a multiplicity of perspectives. And whether we grow [...]
