One of my favorite Christmas themes is homecoming. The concentrated call for togetherness, whether wistful or wanton, is tied tightly to the seasonal trend towards family and friends, the desire for closeness around hearth and heart, a ward against the chill and the commercialism. The intimacy that results - just us and the tree, or perhaps the crowd brought into the home - frames a set of a songs that celebrate being home, or express a longing for it, depending on the narrative stance. But in all cases, the motif [...]

De lokale omroep Radio Gasterlan is bezig met een zeer bijzondere, danwel bizare recorpoging. De omroep waarvoor wil maarliefst 168 uur achtereen uitzenden (te beluisteren via de stream ), niks nieuws onder de zon natuurlijk, maar de muziek is wel bijzonder, er zullen namelijk louter uitvoeringen van de kerst traditional Stille Nacht uitgevoerd worden! Naast bekende Nederlanders en prominente Friezen zal ook ik twee uurtjes vullen (donderdag a.s. 18 december tussen 14.00 en 16.00 uur). Natuurlijk is het wel de bedoeling mijn eigen draai hieraan te geven en wel middels een [...]

The latter occupies the third disc of the set, which also includes a version of "Out of Sight" Brown performed for the 1964 film The [...]

To truly explore the broader implications of this musical form requires deep understanding of many factors: the Irish diaspora, the evolution of fusion forms in music, the confluence of post-punk folk and the adolescent mindset, the modern commercialism of St. Patrick's Day. Such scope is beyond the purview of any blog. But considering the [...]
