  • Please Plant This Book
    Claire Moncla, Creative Director [email protected] Please Plant This Book “Staggering, gorgeous, essential.” – Kaveh Akbar, author of Calling a Wolf a Wolf First published in March 1968, Please Plant This Book was a unique project. Richard Brautigan's fourth poetry collection was actually eight poems printed on eight seed packets and placed in a glued folder. Six thousand copies were offered for free distribution, with permission to reprint the collection explicitly granted as long as the new printing was also free. Fifty years later, on the anniversary of the original publication, author Francis Daulerio, illustrator Scott Hutchison, and publisher The Head & The Hand are releasing a reinterpretation of this pioneering collection. New poems and illustrations have been printed on high-quality, resealable seed packets and filled with eight varieties of GMO-free heirloom seeds. Each bundle includes Cherokee Purple Tomato, German Chamomile, Berlicum Carrot, Detroit Dark Red Beet, Tokyo Long White Onion, Lemon Bee Balm, Genovese Basil, and Henry Wilde Sunflower. Each variety has a specific poem on one side and an illustration on the other, and the collection is interwoven with themes of mental health and allusions to Brautigan’s life and work. All proceeds from the project will be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. “I hope this publication will draw new attention to his body of work while also raising money for the foundation,” Daulerio said. Writing the new edition’s forward, Brautigan’s daughter, Ianthe Brautigan, had nothing but positive reviews on the reinterpretation. “The poetry in this edition of Please Plant This Book reminds me of the continuing magic of the effect of my father’s writing in the world.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Oyster by Michael Pedersen Oyster
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Oyster by Michael Pedersen Oyster. Written by Michael Pedersen / Illustrated by Scott Hutchison. Paperback. Share: Reviews. Pedersen's poems exist in a febrile realm of heightened emotion; they come pouring across the page like a rowdy crowd at a Hogmanay street party [with] an infectious enthusiasm for the downright amazingness of existence' Scotsman. About the Book. Oyster is the second collection from prize-winning Edinburgh poet Michael Pedersen. From Grez-sur-Loing and festive nights to sizzling summers stretched out in the Meadows and Portobello, Michael Pedersen’s unique brand of poetry captures a debauchery and a disputation of characters, narrated with an intense honesty and a love of language that is playful, powerful and penetrative; he vividly illuminates scenes with an energy that is both witty, humourous but also deeply intelligent. Oyster is iced, spiced, baked and beaming for your pleasure. Oyster features bespoke illustrations from Frightened Rabbit lead singer and songwriter Scott Hutchison. ‘Oyster’ by Michael Pedersen, with illustrations by Scott Hutchison. This is the second poetry collection from Michael Pedersen, following 2013’s deservedly well-received Play With Me . Pedersen is well known as a co-founder of the Neu! Reekie! collective, which organizes nights of poetry, music and, if this collection is anything to go by, debauchery. Indeed, the poet’s preoccupation with hedonism – sex, drugs and alcohol all feature – puts you in mind of the Beat poets. What really distinguishes this collection, though, is a combination of verbal ingenuity and, courtesy of Scott Hutchison, characterful and witty accompanying illustrations. The best of the poems have a sensual lyricism that transcends both the Bohemian excesses and the apparent capriciousness.

Returning in November 2013 with single A Bigger World, the track earned the band a place on XFM’s evening playlist as well as a guest spot for frontman Rod Jones on Steve Lamacq’s Roundtable on BBC 6Music. With this album, it feels as !though Rod has transcended his Idlewild roots, proving himself to be one of Scotland’s finest songwriting talents. Opener, A Bigger World features Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit - it’s a rousing three minutes of swelling vocals, strings and catchy riffs. Rod’s ear for a catchy indie tune is also present on tracks ‘All Of this Everything’ and ‘Sold Your Soul’ and it becomes quite apparent who melodic backbone of Idlewild was. However, there are also really beautiful moments as well as the ‘foot stompers’ on the album. ‘Love Isn’t Love’ is elegant and honest, whilst ‘Tonight Is Broken Hearted’ feels like !the band’s defining anthemic moment in the sun.

  • Karine Polwart's Scottish Songbook
    Karine Polwart’s Scottish Songbook Start time: 8pm Approximate running time two hours twenty minutes including interval Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change Karine Polwart talks about her inspiration for a project that celebrates 50 years of Scottish pop history through a folk singer’s ears. ‘On a simple heart level, I love these songs’, says Karine, ‘they speak to me of place and time, of underdogs and survivors, of resilience and possibility, and of the endless capacity of familiar songs to ring with fresh connections, right here and now. They give voice to things that urgently need saying. They matter’. Polwart’s musical career began exactly twenty years ago as a singer of centuries old traditional Scots songs, which have been given ongoing life by generations of anonymous voices. ‘I’ve always loved songs that have stories, songs that allow me to get inside someone else’s experience’, she explains. But it wasn’t folk music that shaped Polwart’s earliest years. She and her Scottish Songbook bandmate and brother, Steven Polwart, grew up in 1980s central Scotland to a soundtrack of Scottish pop. And it’s to songs by bands of this era – The Waterboys, Deacon Blue, Eurythmics and Bronski Beat – as well as by contemporary Scottish artists such as Chvrches and Biffy Clyro, that she brings her interpretive skill as a folk singer. The Scottish Songbook project draws inspiration from Rip It Up: The Story of Scottish Pop, a major 2018 exhibition at The National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. Polwart was featured in the exhibition in her own right, ‘sandwiched between Eddi Reader and Deacon Blue and directly opposite The Proclaimers’, she laughs.

  • Macklemore & Ryan Lewis in Buffalo for the Heist World Tour
    The BUZZWORTHY V.24 ISSUE 4 New Direct Hits album from The Killers Macklemore & Ryan Lewis in Buffalo for Saying “Goodbye” to our The Heist world tour seniors PLUS: Grouplove, M.I.A., Kevin Devine Bands You NEED to Follow! Is the “Ugg-ly” Trend Over? From the STATION MANAGER... “Good bye may seem forever. Farewell is like the end, but in my heart is the memory and there you will always be.” -The Fox and the Hound I have been dreading having to write this final column since the day that I was elected. I don’t want to say goodbye to this part of my life. When I came to Bona’s I decided to join the station because I thought it would be fun to have a show with some friends and call a few basketball games. I thought getting on the Board of Directors or becoming Station Manager would be extremely cool but impossible to achieve. Little did I know that the station would become the center of my college experience. Ever since I was put on the Board of Directors my sophomore year, The Buzz has felt like home. I’ve met some of my closest friends in the Board Room. Over the years, I’ve spent hours wasting time in the station and have taken countless naps on the leather couches. I’d like to say the station has become my home. Now I’m old and getting pushed out of the nest. However, it’s nice to know that I’m not alone.
