Parkington Sisters bio When Ariel, Sarah, and Rose Parkington of the Parkington Sisters pick up their instruments to strike up a song, the air begins to buzz. The chemistry between the three sisters is so present you feel like you can touch it – and as soon as they strike the first tone, it overwhelms the listener like a tidal wave crashing down. Hailing from Wellfleet, Massachusetts, the Parkington Sisters cut their teeth on music from the very beginning. Daughters of a prog rock musician and a classically trained guitarist and songwriter, they were raised playing music on picturesque Cape Cod. They rebelled against summer jobs cleaning rental houses and performing in high-brow symphonies and instead became a band performing on the streets of Provincetown, on the tip of the Cape. Over the past 5 years, they have shared the stage with artists ranging from Mavis Staples and Bruce Springsteen to Dispatch and the Dropkick Murphys, performing in radio studios and stages across the US, Canada and Europe, including New York’s Radio City Music Hall and in March 2014 NPR's Mountain Stage. The Parkingtons also joined the Dropkick Murphy's to perform the national anthem before Game 6 of the 2013 World Series at Fenway Park, leading to the first World Series home win for the Red Sox since 1918! The band's new album Me You Us was produced and engineered by Joel Hamilton (Black Keys, Tom Waits, Pretty Lights), along with the sisters - and was recorded in haunted churches, basements, hotels and living rooms across New England - as well as at the new 5000 sq foot Studio G in Brooklyn. It combines the influence of growing up on Cape Cod and the sisters’ individual talents – each of the sisters is a songwriter and a multi- instrumentalist. With soaring melodies, tumbling from optimistic heights to eerie lows, vibrant harmonies and intricate arrangements, their songwriting incorporates the eclectic songwriting of Joni Mitchell and Aimee Mann, the energy of June Carter and the hit potential of Mumford and Sons. Their music has been premiered by Paste Magazine, American Songwriter, Bitch Magazine, and Magnet Magazine and played on radio stations like Acoustic Cafe, WXPN, KUTX, KCSN, WUMB, and WERS. To kickoff their new album release, the sisters will be supporting Blitzen Trapper for eighteen dates in June. • o http://instagram.com/parkingtonsisters(Instagram) o https://parkingtonsisters.bandcamp.com(Other Service) o https://twitter.com/parkingtonsistr(Twitter) • Website http://www.parkingtonsisters.com .

MTO 22.4: Thomas, Text and Temporality
Volume 22, Number 4, December 2016 Copyright © 2016 Society for Music Theory * Margaret E. Thomas NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.16.22.4/mto.16.22.4.thomas.php KEYWORDS: Tom Waits, rhythm, hypermeter, popular music, lyrics, rhythmic irregularity, voice ABSTRACT: This article considers phrase structure, hypermeter, and lyrics in three songs by Tom Waits, examining the particular ways that temporal regularity and irregularity interact with poetic structure, musical style, and vocal performance in Waits’s music. Subtle and ambiguous hypermetrical shifts are uncovered in “Green Grass,” whereas “Black Wings” utilizes conspicuously conflicting phrase lengths to enhance its textural meaning. In “Dead and Lovely” Waits creates temporal disturbances by shifting the placement of four-measure phrases relative to hypermetrical downbeats and upbeats. Received July 2016 Introduction [1.1] American singer-songwriter Tom Waits opens his 2004 song “Green Grass” with this quatrain: Lay your head where my heart used to be Hold the earth above me Lay down in the green grass Remember when you loved me The four lines—each a directive—draw the listener into the song as they unfurl a rambling narrative packed with evocative imagery, wistful sorrow, and intimacy. It is a bold opening, and it encapsulates much of what is distinctive about Waits: the subject matter is dark and perplexing, and the poetic structure is irregular and a bit playful. The lines have 9, 6, 6, and 7 syllables, respectively. Their rhyme scheme plays out in two layers: a literal aaba pattern (“be,” “me,” “grass,” “me”), and an elongated near-rhyme pattern in lines two and four (“above me” and “loved me”).

BIO It Was on September 23, 2008 That Blitzen Trapper, After Putting Out
BLITZEN TRAPPER: BIO It was on September 23, 2008 that Blitzen Trapper, after putting out three albums on its own label, released its fourth full-length album, Furr, via Sub Pop. At that time, it was a record that captured exactly where the band’s frontman, Eric Earley, found himself, both literally and metaphorically, geographically and existentially. Not that the Portland-based musician actually remembers much about the creation of the record’s 13 intriguing, spellbinding songs. Or, more specifically, what its songs actually mean, either now or then. Instead, Furr, stands as a kind of tribute and elegy to the city that inspired it, but that, a decade later, no longer exists. “What I was trying to do with those recordings,” explains Earley, “was capture this kind of atmosphere that I was feeling and which pervaded the city at that time. I think I was attempting to capture what Portland was at the time and what it felt like to me. That city is gone now. Old Portland, we call it, but Old Portland has disappeared. But this record gives me the feeling of those times and this city— when it was poor and dumpy and really drug-addled. And it also captures the magic of the outlying rural areas that has slowly changed as well.” That magic can be heard in each of these songs, and while the city may have vanished from sight – replaced by a newer, richer, shinier and bigger version of itself – its elegance and fractured beauty is preserved within the bones of this record.

Slate Interview
Tom Waits on His Grandma’s Pistol, His New Record, and Keith Richards By Seth Colter Walls | Posted Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2011, at 11:31 AM ET Tom Waits performs in Paris in 2008. Photo by PIERRE VERDY/AFP/Getty Images Tom Waits’ new record, Bad As Me, is his first album of brand new songs since 2004—though Waits will stop you right there and say that Orphans, a three-disc set of rarities from 2006, featured “a hell of a lot of what we call reconditioned songs,” new recordings of old standbys. “Who’s to say that when a song has been used it’s not any good anymore? Everybody’s all hung up on new, you know?” People aren’t just hung up on Bad As Me because it’s new. For the first time since Mule Variations, Waits has put out a record with the full range of his go-to song-forms. Real Gone (2004) went all-in on drum n’ dirge; the song-cycles Alice and Blood Money (both 2002) took their cues from stage works presented with director Robert Wilson. Bad As Me has the variety of instruments and composition styles of Rain Dogs and other Waits classics. I spoke with Waits about the new album earlier this month. Generally loath to speak in great detail about specific artistic choices, he says things like, “I’m not really conscious of those things,” or, “I’m not any different than anybody else.” Neither assertion may be true, but it’s best to let the man talk: He spins yarns mid-interview as impressively as he does on his records.
