I'm pretty sure Julie Lee is a liar. The Nashville singer-songwriter claims her album, Julie Lee & The Baby-Daddies, won't be released until March 6th, but this gorgeous, classic folk song cycle sounds like it was recorded decades ago. Julie's band includes Lucinda Williams' guitarist, Kenny Vaughan, and Del McCoury Band member Mike Bub. Both [...]
by Rep. Ron Paul, Republican the true and horrifying story of the witch-lesbo-feminists who are running America ------------------------------ --------------- This poem was originally published as an article by Ron Paul in his own newsletter in the 1980s/1990s.
A collaboration born over the veins of cyber-space, artistic savant Nathaniel, of Think or Smile , and the bold sound pioneer RxRy have very well reached inside of each other's minds to create this trifecta of written word, moving image, and soundscape perfection. All words you read were sculpted by Nathaniel. And know that the sounds you hear, RxRy created specifically for this project. All images were captured using a state of the art iPhone held against glass at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, Illinois. Now, please sit still, make [...]
[Our resident poet Jeffery Berg shares his favorite poetry collections of 2011] 10. Lauren Berry, The Lifting Dress A very strong debut. Berry's Southern Gothic poems are unsettling, beautiful, and mysterious. 9. Nikky Finney , Head Off & Split I'm in awe by the electricity and inventiveness of this collection which pays tribute to the American forgotten and also the emblematic in such poems as "Red Velvet," a moving elegy for Rosa Parks and the [...]
This album exceeds the comically bad and enters the tragic.

![[Poetry] William S. Burroughs – A Thanksgiving Prayer](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3883307_lg.jpg)
It's kind of narrowing and frightening to think that things the great American poet & author William S. Burroughs intended as a barb at the things we celebrate on Thanksgiving, in his briliant monotone delivery of "A Thanksgiving Prayer", are actually being repeated by people with sincerity in 2011. The Fred Phelps's, Rick Perry's and Michele Bachmann's of the world seem even more delusional and self-evolutionary when you consider the following piece. The video, directed by Gus Van Sant , is a simple and agile affair, allowing the words and music which underpin [...]
Conventionally most music can be fitted into neat categories or genres; but sometimes there are exceptions to this rule, and Brown Torpedo are most definitely an exception. They describe themselves as fitting into many genres including Electro, Performance Poetry, Improv, Psychedelic and... Read more..

Label: Heart and Soul Purchase: Limited to 50 cd-r copies accompanied by a hand made poetry book I am striving to become anti-matter Leonardo Rosado has taken the brave leap into a world of experimentation for many years now, successfully moulding the real world around him with his musical world of ideas - whether it be the deconstruction of modern architechture, the crossroads between sound and poetry or [...]

We're occupying the streets of Los Angeles; our demands: bring us stories.
Another one of those compilations that you can't get enough of. This one has become so successful that it's in its third year running. The concept is simple, it's a covers mix with songs that we loved and still love after many revamps. So, if you haven't checked out the first one and second one , you could start from here to see what it's all about. Mellow, chill renditions that will leave you wanting to make sweet sweet love, or something like that. If you can't understand the idea of making sweet love, this is not [...]
I'm going to do something which betrays the philistine in me and post up two extracts from Joyce's Finnegans Wake , recorded nearly thirty years after they were written. Philistine because I must admit I haven't read the book, but these recordings are quite captivating in themselves, as is the link to Joyce reading from Anna Livia Plurabelle . The cover of Nino Frank's translation of Anna Livia Plurabelle (1938) [...]
I proudly own three books of poetry, one being the complete collection of Robert Frost. I've thought a lot lately about the events that led to my move to Austin. At the time, choosing Austin in light of other options was a bit counterintuitive. After three months here, I couldn't imagine any other road to take. That just so happens to remind me of my second favorite Frost poem... - Joel The Road Not Taken Two [...]
somewhere between image and object the poem finds itself. aye. a spoken word assemblage; verbal polaroids and impressionist sketches from the last two years. micrcosmic observations, (auto)biographical shards. amy hempel baked in the texas sun. not surprisingly war and oil loom large and small, whilst he riffs on/off lenny tristano, fox news and music scenes. a knotted clot of words, unpicked inexorably with dry deliberation in smooth, stalking, constant cadence. i'm still chewing on this...

Click here to stream the new Lou Reed and Metallica collaboration called "Lulu" . From the combo site : "Lulu is a musical collaboration between Lou Reed and Metallica. It is inspired by German expressionist writer Frank Wedekind's plays Earth Spirit and Pandora's Box, which tell the story of a young abused dancer's life and relationships, and are now collectively known as the Lulu plays.
