Lately, as in, since Saturday, when I imbibed far too much Trout Slayer beer and ended up across state lines playing a decidedly British version of Never Have I Ever in a hotel parking lot at 2 in the morning, I have no desire to write. Or listen, for that matter. Something has broken in here and as any writer will tell you, there is nothing worse than a lack of appetite for that which typically sustains you. Music feels hard to me now. What a fucking shame. {A visual representation of [...]
If you haven't been downright impressed with the overflow of incredible genre crossing music this year you are either a huge Nickleback fan or you are Amish, there's no other logical excuse to complain about the status of music. Last year when I put the "Best Albums" list together it was one of the first [...]
Now playing the newest Scott Orr album Where I Lived, And What I Lived For this Sunday. If you are looking for a great acoustic album that brings some slow burners and even a few not so slow burners (for those mid-tempo-coustic types) this just might be your next album. I apparently thought I was listening to this album for a few months but in turn I found out I wasn't listening to it at all until about 3 weeks ago when Scott called me on it. For shame. It was quickly remedied by Other Songs [...]
Ich stehe gerade am Fenster, ziehe an meiner vielleicht letzten Zigarette und denke darber nach, was ich alles in meinem Leben falsch gemacht habe. Da kommt eine ganze Menge zusammen. Aber zu spt ist zu spt, die Sache ist gelaufen. Ich hre den Song "Nobody's Someone" von Scott Orr. Ein sich langsam dahinschleppender Folksong der Read the Rest...
I'm feeling pretty good about this playlist, take the time to check out a few songs 1. Shiv Hurrah- All my teeth fell out I've got this bad habit of forgetting to give a track list to my friends when i burn a mix for them. At least five times i've had someone call me up and ask "who sings the song that goes 'i had a dream that all my teeth fell out as i was just about to [...]

After hearing the first song from the new Scott Orr record, my reaction was relief. In an age where every folksy song writer crams steel, mandolin, electric, bass, acoustic, chimes, keys, harmonies, mouth harp, and harmonica into every open space left behind by a broken, beaten down heart, Orr's words bounce off the abandoned walls of a house that is no longer a home, only to fade away to nothing. He didn't try to pretty up or mask the honest pain he felt. On his last full length - Ghost [...]

one of my absolute favorite little indie record label finds this year, heck...let's even throw last year in there as well, is other songs music co. in ontario (when it comes to music, i consider myself an honorary canadian). that said, it would be quite fitting if the man behind the machine not only had a knack for finding and promoting great indie-folk bands, but also made some damn good indie-folk music himself. where i lived, and what i lived for marks scott orr's third full-length studio [...]

This Canadian fellow has been doing the indie folk thing for some time now, but he wanted to strip it down a bit more. Scott Orr has just released a free Acoustic EP , which has a few new tracks, and some old ones done in a super-stripped down manner. One of the things I like the most about this new EP is that he vowed to just do it in his own style, with very few overdubs and retakes in the recording process. Just giving it a listen [...]
Last.Fm ve MySpace'in Türkiye'de engellenmesinin ardından zamanımın büyük bir bölümü bu konuda mücadele etmekle ve Netdaş hareketinin gelişimine katkıda bulunmaya çalışmakla geçti. Bu sebeple 2 haftada bir yayınladığım Promos Weekly bölümü bir hafta gecikmeyle geliyor. 1) Bullion - Are You The One?

When I talked about Scott Orr ’s last release – Miles From Today – I made a casual mention that on Wondergirl , Orr’s self doubt made you wonder if he thought even his best would eventually fall short. At the time, it was specific to that song, but after listening to Ghost Party (which you can download for free right here ), it’s also a fitting metaphor for his song writing. Listening to that record now, it feels like Orr put everything he had into perfecting the songs, [...]
I don't take Scott Orr to be a God fearing man, so when he asks the man above for help on Don't Want To See That Again , you wonder if it's because that's all he's got left. He's been to the bottom of the bottle, through the heartache and instead of looking up in prayer for hope, it's more like the one desperate option he has left. The desolation of his aching words is matched with a spare electric guitar and lap steel arrangement and you feel every desperate grasp he makes, trying to hold [...]
Dear Thom, I tried. I really did. I mean, I typed in 0.00 like 345,378 other people, but I was at least willing to pay the 90p credit card fee. But for some reason known only to Thor, your system just wouldn’t take my details. Of course, I later found out that the name on my card read “Kim Jong Il”, and it had been somehow blacklisted as a weapon of mass destruction by 128 countries worldwide (including yours), but that’s way besides the point. Which is, that I tried. Anyways, it’s a good thing you’re [...]
