Feel It If You Feel It
A few days ago, the first post – reunion Folk Implosion release came out on Bandcamp. It’s got two new songs – like a double A sided single – with two additional tracks, remixes of those two songs by Scott Solter. It came out on limited edition vinyl, cassette, and unlimited edition CD. The vinyl…

Top 40 Over 40.29: 50 Ways to Be Steve Malkmus
When I started writing this series a number of years ago, I didn’t think I would be including Stephen J. Malkmus in the line up. My last year in college I had 7 roommates, several of whom played Slanted & Enchanted like 75 million times. I burned out on Pavement in the process, mostly through…

Driftin’ back to Buckley
Simon Joyner once said to me I wish I could sing like Tim Buckley, but I do what I can with what I have. I said I felt the same way. This morning I was looking for something irrelevant to listen to while nearing completion of Gnawing on The Bone, an instrumental project I’ve been…

It’s Halloween Time
I’m pleased to announce my participation in a seasonally tuned in lo fi compilation called It’s Halloween Time from Chthonic Records (US) and Almost Halloween Time Records (Italy). It kicks off with a tune from C. Worth, whose instrumental guitar work I have been enjoying over the past year, and meanders through numerous fragmentary delights. …

What We’ve Been Up To
I recently got to write a post for Dusted Magazine‘s Listed series about ten records & books I’m fond of. It’s not a Top 10 of All Time, for reasons stated in the opener, more like what I wanted to write about on that occasion: Art Melody, Kari Ka Kian Fô Baaba Maal & Mansour…

Inka Cola / Holiday Shows
One of my favorite lyrics on our new record uses a nugget I got from a passage in Mark Pendergrast’s great history of the Coca-Cola corporation: in perhaps the perfect symbol of neo-colonialism, the Coca-Cola corporation actually bought out Inka Cola of Peru. The line in the song goes, “Mao’s Little Red Book slandered you…
