Long before the Beatles kicked off "She Loves You" with a now-famous count, Lawrence Welk was doing it with "a-one and a-two." A lot of musicians do a count at the beginning of a song, but that isn't necessarily the part of a song you recall. That made finding a contribution for this week's Contrast Podcast #184 theme a bit tricky, and it's bound to lead to a fine mix. The songs I considered were all so beautiful that choosing one was difficult, so I am posting them all here. My choice for [...]

McCarthy Trenching - The Most Attractive Disguise from Team Love on Vimeo . Meet McCarthy Trenching. Meet McCarthy Trenching on a boat. We've recently been turned on to Omaha based songwriter McCarthy Trenching. We recommend you get turned on as well. He's had long touring stints with Bright Eyes and M. Ward and is a treasure trove of sardonic, boozy lyrics. At times his voice sounds freakishly like The Drive By Trucker's Mike Cooley but his songs feel much more spontaneous. His last two records [...]
Recorded at home on 8-track, the album humbly offers 12 songs about thunderstorms, drinking, and relationships crumbling. The facts of life, in other words.
" The Loom kick out glow-in-the-dark folk wailers that flirt with the anthemic, but never abandon the quiet spaces they were born in." -- David Bevan, RCRD LBL "With banjos, accordions, and considerable melodrama—their word, not mine—the Brooklyn band harks back to the early days, when big beards and plaid shirts symbolized austere living, not outer-borough bohemianism." -- Kenneth Partridge, The Deli Magazine Brooklyn acoustic folk sextet The Loom has harnessed the emotional power and beauty of ensemble vocals and chiming instruments since 2006, drawing large crowds [...]

What if there was a library where you never had to worry that somebody had already checked out what you wanted and there were no late fees? Now what if that library was filled with something like the catalog of indie label Team Love ? Sounds like a dream, but guess what?! It exists. Tuesday, Team Love Records launched their online library. Basically, they're letting you download artists for free and letting you keep them with no hidden deletion dates or anything sneaky like that. All you have to do to start [...]
Barry Graham Not a Speck of Light is Showing (Achilles Chapbook Series, Oct. 19th, 2008) " I'm outside my father's house, looking through the window, he won't let me in ." ~ from Parable of the Dead Rolling Snowball It's always fun to observe children this time of year. They are filled with joy and excitement, anticipation and wonder, and the hope is tangible. Yet, the reality is there are many children who are struggling to enjoy the holiday's much less life in general. In, Not a [...]
In my Tilly and the Wall review earlier in the week I briefly mentioned Team Love Records , and how they're a Web2.0 -savvy label who're all in favour of free music downloads (which I'm assuming you're a fan of too, being as you're here, reading an mp3 blog...). So just to hammer the point home, here's a full-blown profile of the label. Founded in 2003 by Conor Oberst and Nate Krenkel (formerly of EMI and Sony, in some sort of A+R capacity), the label grew out of Conor's frustration at not being able [...]
