I'm as surprised as anyone to find myself still living in North Carolina. Without a doubt, one the main things that's kept me here for so long is the vibrancy of the poetry community around Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham and Greensboro. My coterie, the Lucifer Poetics Group, has been invaluable to my growth as a writer and a person, and when I leave this place, it's the one thing I'm truly going to miss. I salute these friends and collaborators, and in particular I'd like to salute three good friends in Lucipo who've published three outstanding books over the past [...]

STOMP DOWN SOUL (SON OF A SON OF A SLAVE) Larry Darnell Instant : 1968 Available on: The Instant & Minit Story Charly : 2005 [Buy It] The kick-ass "Stomp Down Soul," by Larry Darnell, is one of the very, very few songs, sung by an African American, which references "the peculiar institution" directly (rap's a different story, which I'm not going into today.)

Folks, Brian's on deadline today, so I'm pinch-hitting with a few songs I've been meaning to post for, well, for a few years now. Pop songs, about American history. Which, you'd think there'd be more of - and if you do think of more, I'd be happy to post a follow-up. Whoever comes up with the most gets a copy of our New Year's mix (not to be confused with our xMas mix, which you can still download from last month's post). Which, a question presents itself: Does Neil Young's "Cortez, The Killer" fit the bill? [...]
