God Help the Troubadour

Dec 20, 2011, 4:31pm Boogie Woogie Flu
God Help the Troubadour by Ben Greenman Phil Ochs was born five months before Bob Dylan and died sixteen months before Elvis Presley, and that tells you all you need to know about him, and that tells you nothing. Ochs was an earnest activist, and a rebel, and a satirist, and a town crier, and a crack-up. He built and dismantled personae with such rapidity that it's sometimes difficult to find the real person who, in theory, provided the foundation on which those personae were built and dismantled. Born in Texas, raised in Ohio, gifted musically and culturally omnivorous, [...]

Video: Tom Morello with Ben Harper – Save The Hammer For The Man

Nov 28, 2011, 9:55am Hidden Track
Tom Morello is no stranger to the world of using music in the context of social and political activism, both as the guitarist for Rage Against The Machine and by releasing folkie, Woody Guthrie-inspired protest tunes under the moniker The Nightwatchman . Earlier this year, Morello released his third solo effort World Wide Rebel Songs , an album whose cover is a nod to Phil Ochs' Gunfight At Carnegie Hall . For World Wide Rebel Songs, Morello eschewed the guy and guitar approach of his previous efforts, in favor of a full backing band. Morello [...]

A Phil Ochs Tribute Night: "Here's to the land you've torn out the heart of"

Sam Watts of Ghosts I've Met ::: Photo by Josh Lovseth Still in its nascent stages, it's not clear how or if the "Occupy" movement happening around the United States will permanently change the future economic landscape.

'60s folkie Phil Ochs sings again in documentary

Aug 5, 2011, 1:30pm PopMatters
McClatchy-Tribune News Service (MCT) -- Phil Ochs didn't just chronicle the civil rights and anti-war movements of the 1960s in song, he was part of them. Like Bob Dylan, his friend and idol, Ochs became a spokesman for young people who were both energized by the election of John F. Kennedy and angered by what they saw as the discrepancy between the American promise of equality and justice and the reality of racial segregation and a never-ending war. When Dylan,...

Lach - A Quiet Distance (Toad Session)
Video: Vimeo - YouTube Photos: Flickr Audio: zip download (right-click, save as). Lach is the man behind the Antihoot, the New York open stage which gave rise to the term and the movement called Antifolk . People bandy the word about so much these days it's almost become as nebulous as the term 'indie', but it had a very specific origin and a very specific meaning back at the beginning. Last year Lach brought the Antihoot to the [...]

Toadcast #179 – The Nukecast

Jun 19, 2011, 1:03am Song, by Toad
Toadcast #179 – The Nukecast The reason this is called the Nukecast is because I am pretty irritated by the exaggeration of just how horrible it is to be alive in 2011. 2011 is a total piece of piss. It's easy, unthreatening and perfectly comfortable, and the idea that the modern world is in any way topsy-turvy is just plain silly. I am not all that old, but even the eighties, when I was a kid, were far rougher than this. There was actual genuine menace, the world might just have been about to end in a nuclear fireball, and no-one had anything [...]

Friday is Going to Die in a Nuclear Fireball

Jun 17, 2011, 7:52am Song, by Toad
Nuclear Detonation Timeline "1945-1998"
I happened across that fascinating little video this week sometime, and it's a really odd mixture of hypnotic, fascinating and really quite unsettling. The video is simply a plot of nuclear explosions over time, and despite being ten minutes in length, is nevertheless really difficult to turn away from. What's particularly disturbing is watching how a flurry of test detonations in any one country seems to trigger a retaliatory fit of posturing in another. It's also kind of chilling to watch the increases in activity triggered by events like the Cuban Missile Crisis. It's easy to [...]

Unlike previous months most of my random downloads this month were older songs (and country, too). But there were a few 2011 tracks that snuck into my craw—My Morning Jacket's newest, which has me excited for their album coming out in a few weeks, and Matthew Cooper's "Expectation," a lovely ambient track. This mix is thus a little strange but is nevertheless meant to be listened to in order. Enjoy. Barbara Lynn: You Can't Buy My Love (via the Adios Lounge ) Merle Haggard: [...]

Phil Ochs “Greatest Hits”

Apr 6, 2011, 10:13am The Rising Storm
Phil Ochs “Greatest Hits” Few rock and roll tragedies have the sort of complex, emotional impact as that of Phil Ochs. As the most uncompromising of the 1960s protest singers, Ochs was arguably one of the only such singers who refused to surrender his revolutionary ambitions for abstract, personal romanticism. However, as the idealistic hopes of the decade began to give way to darker days, Ochs found the counterculture facing what looked like a losing battle. Caught between the collapse of the movement he had devoted himself to and a deep, chronic depression, Ochs did what any man would do: he took a wild [...]

PHIL OCHS: There But For Fortune - THEATRICAL TRAILER
On a day when we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., it seemed only appropriate to post on another person that was heavily involved in the 1960s Civil Rights movement - folk singer Phil Ochs . In his 1960s heyday Ochs was as synonymous with the Greenwich Village folk circuit as Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, though over time his contributions have seemingly been a bit forgotten. Ochs, who identified himself a "topical singer" penning tunes about the turbulent issues of the day from the Vietnam War to segregation to labor unions, never quite attained the commercial success of [...]

Covered In Folk: Phil Ochs (On songs of social justice in a post-millennial world)

Jan 16, 2011, 3:40pm Cover Lay Down
Covered In Folk: Phil Ochs (On songs of social justice in a post-millennial world) It's Martin Luther King Day, and I've been thinking about social justice, even going so far as to try to explain the term to my eight year old in the car on the way to the dentist. But explaining why I teach in the inner city in the language of a third grader is easier said than done. Two generations after King, Kennedy, and so many unnamed others fell as martyrs to the civil rights movement, we live in a world of twice-removed injustices, deeper, more abstract, more slippery and subtle, harder to name, and harder [...]

No sir, Ada´s drunk and real high in the spirit of the Lord... The result? A wild wild gospel soul song. [...]

His music touched on some of the most difficult issues of the era, raising important social and political questions that few dared to ask.
