Tr iggers and Trash Heaps (stairwell demo) "What makes (Will Johnson) such a phenomenal lyricist is that he opts for the simplest language when painting an abstract picture." -- Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie in the New Yo rk Times "It's unforgettable in a Neil Young or Jeff Tweedy kind of way… As multifarious as the indie rock canon it's practically everything: from the South, in the basement, smoking pot, on the porch, plugging in, plucking soft and clocking out. It's a hootenanny of sweetly weathered proportions, free-wheeling clap-alongs and perfectly boozy balladry - not to mention ass kicking pop songs about rotary wheels and shotgun shells. Love You Just the Same is what a trucker cap would sound like if it could sing. Oh, and play violin." -- Magnet "HOT LIST! Oct 2003 - Country twang with a pinch of emo, held together by Will Johnson's raspy, searching voice. It's hearty, stick-to-your-ribs fare that makes you proud to be an American." -- Rolling Stone "These resonant fables of half-loved underdogs, essentially preposterous scenarios reported with apocalyptic seriousness, call to mind the last two Flaming Lips discs... the band hugely rawks here in an unprecedented approximation of their live show, often summoning the moldy hearts of Mould and Hart. Hell, a harnessed Cobain twang even surfaces..." -- Pitchforkmedia.com It's been more than two years since the release of Centro-matic's Love You Just the Same, and their triumphant return is just around the corner.To whet your appetite, Misra will be releasing Tr iggers and Trash Heaps, the first single from their forthcoming album, Fort Recovery.

  • West of Rome, 1993
    Debriefing: The music and art of Vic Chesnutt: "West of Rome", West of Rome, 1993 ... Page 1 of 2 "West of Rome", West of Rome, 1993 New West Records The title track from one of Vic's most celebrated albums is bittersweet for me today. Mark Linkous, of Sparklehorse fame, committed suicide this past weekend, in Knoxville, TN. Not only was he a fantastic musician, an artistic genius, and one of my favorite all time performers, but he did a amazing cover of West of Rome , for the Sweet Relief 2 compilation. Ironically, the last time I ever saw Mark, he and Vic and I were chatting about this specific track. It was in Asheville, NC. I had mentioned to Vic that it was the only song off of the album West Of Rome that I had never heard him perform. He told me that he hadn't played the song in years, but would try and work out an arrangement. At that point, Mark very humbly offered that if I wanted to hear a 'terrible' version that he had one on the Sweet Relief compilation. I sort of laughed and said that it was a fantastic cover and that it was my favorite track on that specific album. Afterwards, Mark and I sat together and watched Vic perform his magic. That was February 2009. I never saw either of them again after that night. West of Rome was inspired, but not directly, by the book of the same name by John Fante. The book, which features two novellas, is about a father's reflections on his own life and that of his children.

  • 1 a Conversation with Rosie Thomas by Frank Goodman (9/2007, Puremusic.Com) We Always Enjoy the Opportunity to Have One Good
    A Conversation with Rosie Thomas by Frank Goodman (9/2007, Puremusic.com) We always enjoy the opportunity to have one good artist turn us on to another. When we spoke recently with John Doe, he mentioned that he'd been listening to an artist that he liked a lot named Rosie Thomas. When we looked the lady up, we noticed that she was, indeed, managed by our friend Christopher Moon, who also handles Josh Rouse and Kyle Andrews for Nettwerk Mgt. So he set us up for a conversation that had the feel of two people who were already acquainted, to understate the matter. It ran so long, in fact, that I had to chop it up substantially if I expected anyone to read it in its entirety. (We already get some flak about how long our interviews are, but that's what makes them unique, and sometimes uniquely revealing. We've often heard comments like "I've known this artist personally for some time, and yet found out things in your interview I'd never known about them." So what's a little flak, but water off a duck's back.) Rosie first hit the spotlight in the 90s with a band called Velour 100. When Sub Pop heard her sing on a Damien Jurado record, they signed her to a solo deal, which lasted three albums. This latest recording, These Friends Of Mine, began, alternately, as a non- record project with her friends Denison Witmer and Sufjan Stevens, in their respective pads; just getting together to make music for its own sake, and for fun.

He later wrote (in Volume II of his Confessions ) that he had, contrary to appearances, acted to save his offspring – five in total – from “their father’s fate”: I will content myself by saying that in handing over my children to be brought up to the public authorities, for lack of means to bring them up myself, and by making it their destiny to become workers or peasants rather than adventurers or fortune-hunters, I believed myself to be acting as a citizen and a father would act, and I looked upon myself as a member of Plato’s republic. Though it has a place of note among the Western world’s more perverse rationalizations of indefensible behaviour, rousseau also strikes, as he often does, a vein of true self-awareness. some historical context first. In the year 1746, when rousseau was 34 and he and levasseur had their first child, 3,274 parisian children were – according to biographer maurice Cranston – abandoned in the streets by their parents, and roughly a thousand of these were (like rousseau’s) actu - ally delivered to the “public authorities.” paris had a population of close to half a million in the mid-1800s.

  • The Gothic Trespass in the Life and Songwriting of Tennessee Blues Musician Ray Cashman
    DESOLATION BLUES: THE GOTHIC TRESPASS IN THE LIFE AND SONGWRITING OF TENNESSEE BLUES MUSICIAN RAY CASHMAN Victor Bouvéron A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Folklore in the American Studies Department. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: William Ferris Glenn Hinson Crystal O’Leary-Davidson © 2017 Victor Bouvéron ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Victor Bouvéron: Desolation blues: The Gothic trespass in the life and songwriting of Tennessee blues musician Ray Cashman (Under the direction of William Ferris) This thesis explores the pervading feeling of the Gothic in the life and songwriting of Tennessee blues musician Ray Cashman. I argue that Cashman emotionally responds to the South through the framework of the Gothic to assert his identity as a white southern working- class male. As a reader, writer and performer, he trespasses the lines of race and class. The ethnographic fieldwork I conducted in Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina between 2015 and 2017 led me to reflect on the intriguing relationship between blues, southern Gothic literature and white working-class culture in the South. The songs written by Cashman often express a feeling of desolation, bleakness and decay, invoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone time, or describe eerie landscapes and supernatural presences. Cashman also retells southern Gothic stories, like “Snake Feast,” inspired by Harry Crews’s A Feast of Snakes. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project started the day I met Bill Ferris in Lille, France, in 2013. Bill encouraged me to apply to UNC-Chapel Hill and introduced me to the field of folklore.

  • Sparklehorse Founder Made Haunting Music Page 1 of 2
    Print Article: Sparklehorse founder made haunting music Page 1 of 2 Print this article | Close this window Sparklehorse founder made haunting music Published: March 13, 2010 - 3:00AM Mark Linkous created fractured songs that told of Advertisement sparrows, ''painbirds'' and junebugs; fabulous meditations on the beauty and impermanence of life. The American singer-songwriter, who has killed himself aged 47, worked with the Flaming Lips, Daniel Johnston and Danger Mouse, but is best known for the spectral country-folk music he recorded as Sparklehorse. His songs were infused with a strong sense of intimacy and place, chronicling what he called ''the dangerous, spooky part of the south''. Frederick Mark Linkous was born into a coalmining family in Arlington, Virginia on September 9, 1962. His musical epiphany came through hearing the Animals' House of the Rising Sun , a sensation he described as ''louder than a dirt bike''. In his youth, he began absorbing the regional country sounds of George Jones and the Stanley Brothers, before falling in love with punk acts such as the Sex Pistols and the Damned. By the time he was 12, his parents had divorced. He went to high school in Charlottesville and became, by his own admission, a ''juvenile delinquent''. In his late teens, Linkous and his band, the Dancing Hoods, lit out for New York and Los Angeles, but after two unsuccessful albums - 12 Jealous Roses (1986) and Hallelujah Anyway (1988) - he returned, disillusioned, to Virginia. Hearing Tom Waits's album Swordfishtrombones inspired Linkous to start afresh. He formed the Johnson Family, a band that played only ''300-year-old Irish songs'' and began fashioning new tracks with the same purity of spirit as those old-time tunes.

  • T. HARDY MORRIS to RELEASE the DIGITAL AGE of ROME JUNE 25Th VIA the NEW WEST RECORDS IMPRINT NORMALTOWN RECORDS
    T. HARDY MORRIS TO RELEASE THE DIGITAL AGE OF ROME JUNE 25th VIA THE NEW WEST RECORDS IMPRINT NORMALTOWN RECORDS SPIN PREMIERES “THE DIGITAL AGE OF ROME” VIDEO TODAY T. Hardy Morris is set to return with The Digital Age of Rome on June 25th via the New West Records imprint Normaltown Records. The 10-song set was produced by Adam Landry (Deer Tick, Rayland Baxter) and mixed by engineer Nate Nelson. It follows the Diamond Rugs and Dead Confederate member’s 2018 acclaimed Dude, The Obscure, which Pitchfork said "may be Morris' best record; it's certainly his most complex and compelling statement" and "it's sharp focus is refreshing," while AllMusic said, “Morris takes his ambitions skyward, infusing a joyous psychedelia into the mix…” After touring Dude, The Obscure, Morris had 13 new songs demoed for a new album. He was excited to get his band together to rehearse the songs before hunkering down in the studio to record...then the pandemic hit. Sequestered at his Athens, GA home with his family, Morris, like most everyone else in the past year, mulled over what was truly important to him and in response, crafted an entirely new set of songs. Enlisting a group of musicians including Drive-By Truckers drummer Brad Morgan, singer-songwriter Faye Webster and many others, Morris pulled no punches with his mesmerizing lyrics and hazy brand of southern glam rock. Looking directly inward and captivated by the sobering realities of the pandemic, Morris has composed one of his most personal works yet. He tackles the well-worn anxieties of the past year as pandemic and political divisions ravaged America.
