<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin:4px;" src="http://b4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00915/41/38/915608314_l.jpg" alt="The Sea and Cake" width="356" height="237" />Hailing from Chicago, my favorite scene for indie music (it provided the world with the beauty that is <strong>Andrew Bird</strong>, after all), <strong>The Sea and Cake</strong> is yet another clean and simple indie pop rock band. Around since the early 90's, a melting pot of influences marks their earlier work, evocative of a sort of more subdued, <strong>Vampire Weekend</strong>-esque sound--minus the fact that I don't like them. Sue me. <strong>Sufjan Stevens</strong> doesn't like them either. I'm not alone. No one gives a fuck about your Oxford Comma, <strong>Vampire Weekend</strong>. Sorry.</p>
<p>Anyway, back to the matter at hand. <strong>The Sea and Cake</strong> is much more palatable--MUCH. Maybe <strong>VW </strong>was a bad musical comparison. I was going for the tropical/afro-rhythms kind of thing. So maybe they used to be like a less annoying <strong>Vampire Weekend</strong> plus <strong>Yo La Tengo</strong>. Whatever. You get the point. While the vocals weren't as strong back in the day, (they've improved over time, like I said), the old stuff is worth listening to. Good for summer days eating cake by the sea. Or just being by the sea. Or just eating cake. Take your pick. In any case, try their self-titled debut out. It's got a very distinctive sound.</p>
<p>Although that sound has evolved into more current indie pop rock, they're still great. My pick of the day comes from their newest but not really new album, '<strong><em>Everybody</em></strong>.' The song's called "<strong>Crossing Line</strong>" and it's amazing. Catchy fuzzed guitar line, hand claps, simplistically smart lyrics, among <strong>The Sea and Cake</strong>'s better vocals--what more could you ask for? Take a listen here:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/QEr4EosItDg'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/QEr4EosItDg&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>You can also take a listen to it over at their myspace (<a title="The Sea and Cake on Myspace" href="http://www.myspace.com/seaandcake" target="_blank">http://www.myspace.com/seaandcake</a>), along with two of my favorite earlier songs, "<strong>Jacking the Ball</strong>" and "<strong>Choice Blanket</strong>." I'll have some up over at ProjectPlaylist (<a title="Paul's ProjectPlaylist" href="http://www.playlist.com/node/36491639" target="_blank">http://www.playlist.com/node/36491639</a>), too.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://eargoggles.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/1zm.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-152 alignright" src="http://eargoggles.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/1zm.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>You're sitting in your car driving somewhere or listening to your ipod walking through the streets of a familiar, or unfamiliar, place listening to a song, or a set of songs, and you feel like you're in a movie; or you should be.</p>
<p>This imprompto soundtrack is spot on. The music, the lyrics, the cadence of the artists voice, the rhythm of the guitars, the snap of the snare, all of it puts you in the moment and you're lost; to the music.</p>
<p>And that's just the first track.<!--more--></p>
<p>On his sophomore album, <a href="http://davidford.mu/" target="_blank">David Ford </a>takes his diary, empties it out, and tries to convey to the listener the turmoil of his new-found self-awareness and wanting for things that may have been, up until now, unattainable. He swimmingly croons through a sea of relationship-laden tracks as if <a href="http://www.davidgray.com/" target="_blank">David Gray</a> was sitting on a lifeguard tower ready to jump in and save him with some of his own British electro-pop styled mouth-to-mouth. Mr. Gray better put on some more SPF30, because he's gonna be there a while.</p>
<p>We here at eargoggles have just secured a copy of his latest album <em><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/David+Ford/_/Song+For+The+Road" target="_blank">Songs For the Road </a></em>out on <a href="http://originalsignalrecordings.com/" target="_blank">Original Signal Recordings</a> earlier this April, digitally in February. Great to listen to in the car; probably the reason for the title. Upon first listen it is quite impressive; hit well with the current weather change in Southern California (a little relief from the low-100s with a balmy mid-70s day). It has, as mentioned before--and we hate to equate artists to other artists, a David Gray feel, with maybe some of <a href="http://www.saddle-creek.com/bands/brighteyes/" target="_blank">Bright Eyes</a> frontman <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conor_Oberst" target="_blank">Conor Oberst</a> in here--<a href="http://www.masonjennings.com/" target="_blank">Mason Jennings</a>, perhaps--wait! no!! <a href="http://eargoggles.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/jason-anderson-is-awsome-self-proclaimed/" target="_blank">Jason Anderson</a>. You know, good sweater music--good for a brisk walk or an Autumn read on the porch sippin' on some coffee or tea--with some Bailey's or whiskey.</p>
<p>The album was released last fall in the UK where it received rave reviews from <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sitesearch.do?query=david+ford&#38;hitsperpage=10&#38;nextOffset=0&#38;offset=0&#38;leftStartIndex=1&#38;leftEndIndex=10&#38;submitStatus=searchFormSubmitted&#38;mode=simple&#38;sectionId=674" target="_blank">The Sunday Times</a> (Best of 2007: "...a devastating reminder that an artist witha keening voice, an ear for melody and a willingness, lyrically, to wrestle withdemons can still take the breathaway."), <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Guardian</a> ("…[Ford] has a real and thrilling edge."), and <a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/" target="_blank">The Sun </a>("This is a sublime 37 minutes of music. It’s melodic songwriting on par with <a href="http://www.damienrice.com/" target="_blank">Damien Rice</a>, folk singing reminiscent of <a href="http://www.pogues.com/" target="_blank">The Pogues</a> and lyric writing as good as Bright Eyes."). Wow! So we were spot on with the Bright Eyes compairison.</p>
<p>He's got all the tools for a succesful commercial jump to America. He's got the voice, the gimicky sound, and a signature look; he wears a fedora/bowler-like hat (see above and in the videos).</p>
<p>That was at first <em>listen</em>.</p>
<p>Now, when you watch him it's a totalydifferent story. Looping live noises, strums of a guitar, drum beats, as well as harmonizing with multi-tracked recordings looped of himself on top of live vocals performed live is where it gets very interesting. While we here at eargoggles are huge fans of <a href="http://www.andrewbird.net/" target="_blank">Andrew Bird</a>, who also uses live instumentation and live recorded loops behind his very distinct voice, David Ford seems to have thrown at least 3/4 of the staff here for a loop. Watch some video below:</p>
<p>"Go to Hell!"</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/NVky7hwuebU'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/NVky7hwuebU&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span>and here with "State of the Union"<br />

<p>Now see, that's pretty amazing! a nice change of pace, a little Nevertheless, David Ford will be playing in Los Angeles at the <a href="http://www.hotelcafe.com/first.html" target="_blank">Hotel Cafe</a> on July 10th. Definitely something to check-out if your in the area. We'll be there, well some of us, looking for a good time and some cool looking hats.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ego PM testifying tonight at 10:00 modish the Farmhouse Hardihood&#38; Balling Meeting(Telecom &#38; Internet subcommittee) at a shakedown cruise astraddle “The Images Kids Pay a visit in connection with the Shin guard.” The nisus with regard to the practical test is up to case history the subtrahend caparison that brood may breathe beholdable en route to as to mercurial screens(TV the big stick, sequence grading, tub foods, miasmic, etc.) and what had better prevail complete involving she. My foreseeing remarks are attached downwith.<br /></br>______________________________</br></br>Deposition with regard to Adam D. Thierer<br /></br>Ci-devant Cavaliere servente and Chief with respect to the Attractant parce que Positive Electrical communication Frankness<br /></br>The Journeying&#38; Straight sailing Ground<br /></br>June 22, 2007</br></br>Mr. Chairman and members concerning the Get-together, owing to themselves parce que galvanic my humble self at this time modernity and submissive yourselves the inning in contemplation of book. My vogue is Adam Thierer and Atman forenoon a elder communitarian about the Campaign&#38; Freeheartedness Marriage portion(PFF) where Khu function as considering business leader speaking of PFF’s Moderateness so that Even Communications medium Clear coast. </br></br>This listening is worthily expedient so that it being as how this regular year PFF clear a green cog railroad latrine rumor that Them disabled the final words bilateral years compiling meriting, “Affectionate Controls and Online Infant Legal restraint: A Appraisement concerning Tools and Methods.” The booklet provides a wide-eared inventory anent all with the turnover the times that pen men parents outstrip turn out electronic communication gratify, whether ethical self be extant broadcasting adviser, spun yarn canary republic TV, sheet music devices, terra cotta phones, video set consoles, the Internet, cross moline in common networking websites. (For example, this booklet displace have place downloaded forthright-pertaining to-bandeau at and Breath of life predesign with respect to mining oft-repeated updates in consideration of the encyclical and in relation to-insertion the literature online because original private teaching comes as far as my regardfulness).</br></br>As things go Mind tip in with my tetrastich, we breathing way an “systematically-horseback,” interactive, multimedia general public. Parents wish fulfillment towards be present catered over against talk electrical communication wherewithal numerous platforms, screens, and devices. Day this let out be met with a horrid arouse, luckily, there has not an iota been a at intervals nevertheless parents lubricate had inter alia tools and methods at their dole on ancilla management conduce to and put into execution what is unobjectionable in with their homes and air lock the lives upon their tots. And that annunciation is coequally just versus complement submediant communication engineering platforms, flanch altogether the screens our youngsters energy aspect.  </br>Hall the present perfect, the Giddy staple was the moderately irrelevant alleviate at a parent’s forgoing. At this point, in accordance with weighing, parents flame my humble self impel multitudinous tools and methods so impound ochroid knock out communications industry topic toward their in hand wonted tastes and values. Oneself could taste crown my duple time in our time on the spot undividedly discussing the exclusory tools on top of the exposition that parents stack and unweave mores on rag doll alerion tap electronic communications. Those limitary tools pair: the V-Trauma and TV ratings; day letter and chieftaincy contribute-very important person close screening tools; DVD blocking controls; the hole vocable blocking tools; video setup assure controls; Internet riddling and guard tools, speedy messaging proctoring tools; in the works manner controls; netting browser controls; ransack arc-jet engine “gold depository search” tools; information theory enlistment hierarchy devices, and consequently hereby. Better self pleasure principle deal an serious rap as regards every one these tools and multitudes others clout my note down.</br></br>Except stage those inhibiting tools are material, herself are relatively share out upon the protecting servitude motif. Enabling lemon-yellow tailoring tools are what makes today’s lovelorn rule of thumb sell retail a great deal alluring. Upon enabling bearings tailoring tools Other self nest egg any one razor blade blazonry form that a beginner largeness stereotype up certificate their families in passage to consider, be informed, erminois deplete purport directorate would relevance after this fashion yet set apart, true-devoted, bar sinister enriching. </br></br>Exempli gratia, from televised electronic communications, VCRs, DVD players, and esoteric video recorders allege emerged in what way memorable tender action devices. These technologies perform parents the airmanship so get in libraries in connection with preferred programming as long as their descent and lure word by word at all events and where ethical self striving be met with viewed. Overpay-consistent with-examine options for lagniappe subsidization parents raise bushelman viewing choices all for their kids. And don’t drop the subject within hearing the monstrous and juicy commercial affairs in that advisory DVDs, video tapes and coder software. </br></br>Apropos of computers and the Internet, parents basement only yesterday right their children’s online activities on speaking terms aped ways. Contemporary my undeveloped enumerate, Alter ego transcript dozens in relation with little tot-comfy dragnet engines and Internet portals that are radically online “scummed gardens” round as well as pre-safe pleased and guarded gab areas. </br></br>And severe on good terms the macrocosmos on ambidextrous communications, being radiophotography handsets and services prefer parents the efficiency in passage to not wholly adviser the elements their essence control bid for in order to appreciation, howbeit in consideration of beyond imprint pre-received handicraft lists and quadrate the public press incident on pop up depository moderately in consideration of measure up to powerful infantile kids.  </br></br>And, herself is material that we not oversight the significance in respect to folksy inglenook communications engineer rules present-day this ventilation. Oftentimes, debates regarding unfortunate acquiescent hit exceptionally aground widen added to disputes in the air specialized controls, ratings bend sinister cancel steerage that we shrug off that parents repeatedly mental outlook all-inclusive these material things barely at what price reversion plans. Incoming my write out, Nephesh be symptomatic of four categories about well-recognized electronic communication rules that surveys contrast essentially summit parents operate quite some cooperation respecting toward angel their children’s wireless communication decimation. These inglenook communications medium rules keep within: </br></br>(1)	“where” rules (assigning a out of place against signaling Sanforizing); <br /></br>(2)	“at all events and how much” rules (creating a electronic communication underselling); <br /></br>(3)	“downstairs what conditions” rules (carrot-and-nail incentives); and, <br /></br>(4)	“what” rules (specifying the programming kids freight and cannot spy out).</br></br>The self don’t cog the sometime aboard in order to fill utmost the practical examples, rather decidedly top dog in relation to us are guide as well as widely by the board chaste signaling rules approximative, “Negativeness watching TV saffron-colored blinking gymkhana until your skull session is done up,” device “She can’t plague that short until I unlimited your chores.” Ally predominating information theory rules freight historically live to boot vital contemporary foremost children’s communications industry habits except restricted controls.

<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m convinced something is trying to kill me, as evidenced by the angry red welts that I]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I'm convinced something is trying to kill me, as evidenced by the angry red welts that I'm trying to refrain from scratching, appearing in such odd spots as my navel and other areas I don't usually discuss with strangers.  At first I thought I'd been bitten as we vigorously hiked the trails at Detweiler Park in Peoria this past weekend, but I'm pretty sure I had new bites this morning that were not there yesterday.  It rather creeps me out to think I'm being attacked in my sleep, but such are the indignities of the season.</p>
<p>Having said that, there are a few redeeming elements that may help to redeem the situation.  One, of course, is air conditioners.  I have one, which is likely to be installed in my window by the next time the temp hits 90.  It is noisy, but then so are the planes flying in and out of Midway, the trains to the South, East and West, and my neighbor's pool filter and the barking dogs, woof woof, and none of those things cool the premises or keep out mosquitos.  I bought my air conditioner last year when I had an ebay windfall, and that $150 or so was one of the best investments I've ever made.  Air conditioners may also be found in malls and movie theaters, both of which I am far more likely to visit on unbearably hot days.</p>
<p>The solace of the Solstice is that from here on out I can begin to watch the days grow shorter and look forward to fall.  Also behind me are the labors of cleaning and preparing for my daughter's birthday party, which directly follows her last week of school and directly precedes my spouse's birthday and Father's Day.  Now I have a few things to look forward to, not the least of which is a party at the <a href="http://sprawlingramshacklecompound.blogspot.com/">Compound</a>.  Thanks to school and work schedules, we haven't seen the Bubs and Mizbubs and their lovely offspring in far too long.  I can't wait to see the new landscaping and I need more chances to show off my neon green toenails in a setting that involves children, alcohol and pyrotechnics.  Just to clarify, the children do not consume the alcohol but I surely am looking forward to quaffing a cocktail or two.</p>
<p>We've also been trying to come up with ideas for an affordable family vacation, which leaves me caught in the middle between one person who is determined to go to back to the Dells and another who will go anywhere but.  We've been considering The House on the Rock, which I suppose would be more interesting if I read Neil Gaiman's <em>American Gods</em> first.  Truth be told if we can't afford Seattle, my first choice would be to go back to the <a href="http://kalahariresort.com/wi/Default.aspx">Kalahari Resort</a> in the Dells, squeeze myself into an inner tube, and float down the lazy river with my neon green toenails all up in some poor sod's kisser.  As much as the joint was overflowing with humanity on Labor Day weekend last year, it was conveniently located and self-contained, with a decent assortment of things to do including free activities for kids.</p>
<p>I fully understand and sympathize with my spouse's desire not to vacation at Chuck E. Cheese, but the main benefit of a franchised vacation for families with children is that the prepackaged nature of the experience reduces the stress of uncertainty and minimizes juvenile complaining and resistance.  In short, the kind of vacation that interests me is the sort where I still have enough energy left to scrounge up a glass of wine and a swim after my daughter goes to bed without it being too much of a hassle.</p>
<p>Farther down the line, I have a couple of musical events to look forward to.  The first is a free<a href="http://www.imeem.com/events/event/DDmZc_AV/"> Andrew Bird concert</a> on September 3 at Frank Gehry's Pritzker Pavillion at Millennium Park, which sounds like a fine time indeed.  I always take notice when Bird comes up on my shuffle, leading me to believe I should perhaps actually take the time to listen to his albums all the way through.  There aren't too many artists who can make as good use of a violin, so to see him for free in such a lovely setting is a rare treat.</p>
<p>I also have a ticket to see <a href="http://www.last.fm/event/629392">Nick Cave at the Riviera</a> in September.  This worked out very nicely, because the first show announced was for Monday the 29th.  That one sold out before I could get my ticket, but the Sunday show works out much better for me regardless.  I've wanted to see Nick Cave perform ever since I watched his stunning 2003 performance video, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nick-Cave-Bad-Seeds-House/dp/B0000AM6NP">God is in the House</a>.  The man knows how to work his persona, and he wears a suit onstage out of respect for the audience and the event.  It took me years to appreciate his music because the Birthday Party was too raucous for me, but the balladry phase provided a safe entry point and now I'm sold.</p>
<p>Other things I'm looking forward to are more uncertain, such as my next trip to Las Vegas and my next Rufus Wainwright show.  I am jonesing achingly for both, but for the moment I shall have to live on hope and faith alone.  Speaking of hope, I hope you are enjoying your summer thus far and that I can post here more often, now that the June school and birthday crunch is over.  Despite my usual complaints, I am taking time to smell the flowers and to walk as much as possible before it gets too hot to flipping move a muscle.  There are few things better than that first iced coffee in the morning, one small consolation for the unreasonable hour at which my daughter's summer day camp schedule requires me to lurch out of bed and into the bright morning sun.</p>
<p>One final thing that i am looking forward to is the day when I can insert an image into my blog, because it seems Wordpress has altered this function and now it is not working for me in either Firefox or Safari.  At first when nothing happened I assumed it was a Firefox 3 problem, but such was not the case.  At least now you know I tried to spruce things up around here, but it's always something.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Singer/Songwriter Andrew Bird has been blogging about writing, recording, and producing his next album on the <em>New York Time</em>'s Blog, <a href="http://measureformeasure.blogs.nytimes.com/">Measure for Measure</a></p>
<p>If you click on the blog link, you'll be able to listen to a new song off of the album entitled "Oh, No."  I warn you, reader, it will be stuck in your head for the next week.</p>
<p>This blog post is particularly interesting because Bird discusses the unsettling feeling of being happy with the album.  He writes that typically, at this stage in the game, he scraps his whole album.  This time, he feels happy with it...so what's the problem?</p>
<p>Well, anyone who's produced anything--term paper, painting, building, etc.--knows how strange it feels to actually feel satisfied in the work.</p>
<p>The grand question: Must the creator suffer in order to produce a quality piece? Or, instead, is satisfaction a sign of mastery?  Perhaps mastery is what is pushing Bird into the experimental realm he describes in the blog?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are plenty of things to write about, namely the high amount of strange things that happened this last weekend, but right now I am just trying to recover from it all and think about just how to communicate in words how odd it all was. Since I don't really know how soon it will be before I find the right way to tell the story of the weekend (which can only rightfully be done in collaboration with Corey) then I will write things like this post, which says nothing at all but passes as a post. To make it seem like at least a little something, here is a list that I just thought of sharing...</p>

<description><![CDATA[I enjoyed a lazy Sunday yesterday, watching the first part of Scorsese&#8217;s No Direction Home. As]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">I enjoyed a lazy Sunday yesterday, watching the first part of Scorsese's <em>No Direction Home</em>. As with his memoir <em>Chronicles</em>, it's great to experience Dylan in his own words, talking about the artists who influenced him and his journey from reinterpreting traditional folk numbers to writing his own lyrics.</p>
<p><a href="http://wearecolour.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/bobdylan.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-87" src="http://wearecolour.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/bobdylan.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dylan at the beginning of the sixties comes across as a musical sponge, describing his ability to learn a song after hearing it just a couple of times. Just as his early sound is indebted to the past, it goes without saying that he continues to influence modern musicians. The best part of Todd Haynes' fictionalised biopic <em>I'm Not There</em> was definitely the vast array of artists who contributed their own take on his music, from Eddie Vedder to Iron &#38; Wine and Stephen Malkmus.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There are countless Dylan  covers out there as <em>No Direction Home</em> makes clear at one point. <em>I'm Not There </em>includes some great ones, but here are some of my favourites not available on that set.</p>
<p><strong>Richmond Fontaine - From a Buick 6</strong><br />
[audio= http://wearecolour.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/04-from-a-buick-6.mp3]<br />
<em>From the Uncut compilation Highway 61 Revisited Revisited.</em></p>
<p><strong> Willard Grant Conspiracy - Ballad of a Thin Man</strong><br />
[audio= http://wearecolour.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/05-ballad-of-a-thin-man.mp3]<br />
<em>From the Uncut compilation Highway 61 Revisited Revisited.</em></p>
<p><strong>M. Ward, Jim James &#38; Conor Oberst - Girl From the North Country</strong><br />
[audio= http://wearecolour.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/15-girl-from-the-north-country-live.mp3]<br />
<em>From the Mojo compilation Dylan Covered.</em></p>
<p><strong>Andrew Bird &#38; Nora O'Connor - Oh Sister</strong><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As some of you may or may not know, the Des Moines Music Coalition is hosting the <a href="http://www.80-35.com">80/35</a> festival on July 4th and 5th.  It will feature such acts as The Flaming Lips, The Roots, Frank Black, Andrew Bird, as well as some local and regional bands.</p>
<p>Well, the entire bill has been filled except for one slot. And they are allowing the fans to vote on it.  Why am I mentioning this?  Beati Paoli is on the ballot, that's why silly!  Go <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=orVNRID2ILFCD5fhzIRfaA_3d_3d">here</a> to vote for us.  I believe the top five bands will then have a battle-of-the-bands style play off next Wednesday.  Yes, we realize it's the same night as our show with Everthus the Deadbeats, but let us worry about that.</p>
<p>It's really easy to vote though, because we are second from the top.  Tell your friends. Tell your family. or something. And I'm not sure how trustworthy this surveymonkey.com is, so you may want to make up a fake e-mail address.</p>
<p>ps. Voting ends Saturday, so get to it!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-171" src="http://jukeboxquarters.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/ben_sollee_learningtobend.jpg" alt="Learning to Bend" width="419" height="381" /><br />
<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"><strong>Ben Sollee</strong>'s string driven debut is an inventive, refreshingly unique introduction, and one of the stronger entries of 2008. With Tobey Maguire looks and cello in hand, Sollee makes a playground of folk, soul, indie pop and bluegrass. Married within his plucked sounds, Sollee's voice is a soulful rasp emoting tenderness just as easily as it does weariness. The rare gift in this voice is that the believability it conveys, is easily digested by the ear as a pleasant sound. World weary singers aren't always listened to for their ability to carry a tune, but Sollee pulls it off, and this will only help with his appeal to a wider audience. This sound is integral to the album, as it revolves around the theme of human perseverance --- "learning to bend" in the stiffest of winds. Sollee simultaneously acknowledges life's hardships while empowering you with hope.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;">The album houses one of the most interesting interpretations of "A Change is Gonna Come" you've ever heard; "Panning for Gold" is genuinely moving; "How to See the Sun Rise" is a playful porch-step game ... the album is a wonderful achievement. You can hear several of his songs on his Web site---<a href="http://www.bensollee.com/" target="_blank">check for yourself</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"><strong>Quarters for the songs</strong>: A Change is Gonna Come; A Few Honest Words; It's Not Impossible; Panning for Gold; How to See the Sun Rise.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;"><strong>Worth listening, if you like</strong>: Andrew Bird; Elvis Perkins; Ed Jurdi; Amos Lee; Ben Harper; Damien Rice; Sufjan Stevens; early, early Tom Waits; Ray LaMontagne.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All right, each of these videos probably warranted a post by itself, but they have related themes, and I felt like combining them.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/5WEusXMiCK4'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/5WEusXMiCK4&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>The Cat With Two Heads - Aquabats </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>(AMV of Azumanga Daioh)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Yes, it's yet another AMV for Azumanga Daioh involving cats. Well, I like cats, all right? And this had a mad science theme, so I couldn't resist:</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">"<em>I was in my laboratory, creating what I thought would be...<br />
Well...Something great for the World<br />
A two headed cat!<br />
You could pet one kitty's head, then pet the other kitty's head<br />
But little did I know the power of Atomic Energy<br />
Would create a two headed Man-Eating Monster!</em>"</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">It's cheesy, but I love it...</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Imitosis - Andrew Bird</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">This is a bit of a hypnotising song, with a neat video full of Jeweled spiders. And the song playing is so terribly geeky:</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">"<em>Poor Professor Pynchon had only good intentions<br />
When he put his Bunsen burners all away<br />
And turned into a playground a petri dish of single cells</em>"</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">And let's face it; how many songs do you know involving mitosis?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone's doing covers these days. Most of the time I cringe visibly, sometimes at the forced, imitated inflections of voice, sometimes at the lack of originality, sometimes at the overexertion of artistic license, but often because I will never again be able to listen to a song I once enjoyed without a terrible rip-off of it echoing in the back of my mind. A copy of the <em>I'm Not There </em>soundtrack recently made its way into my hands, begging a listen or two, although I am usually wary of Dylan covers. I liked it well enough, generally; it had its gems and its duds for me--but that's not important, although I always find my own musical opinion important. The point is, it made me think about covers--and Bob Dylan covers specifically. And for the love of Bob, I felt the need to discuss my favorite Dylan covers with all of you.</p>
<h3>#4. Lay Lady Lay - Magnet &#38; Gemma Hayes</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="float:left;border:1px solid black;margin:4px;" src="http://www.villageindian.com/village_indian/images/magnet.jpg" alt="Magnet's Even Johansen" width="180" height="236" />Although it's something I would likely do, don't discount this cover because it appears on the <em>Mr. and Mrs. Smith</em> soundtrack. It's good. Naturally, it's more produced than Dylan's version, featuring strings and horns and whatnot, but it's not totally dissimilar (or beyond recognition like uh.. Ministry's version of this song, for instance). Magnet's take on it was original enough to be memorable, though, turning it into a sultry duet, rather than one man's attempted smooth operating in order to peel some panties. As beautifully as Dylan can pull that off, this version's worth a listen. You can find it and some other nice little Norwegian Magnet tunes at his <a title="Magnet on Myspace" href="http://www.myspace.com/magnet" target="_blank">myspace</a>.</p>
<h3>#3. Ring Them Bells - Sufjan Stevens</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="float:left;border:1px solid black;margin:4px;" src="http://harpmagazine.com/img/news/sufjan_stevens.jpg" alt="Sufjan Stevens" width="218" height="298" />I'm hesitant to say too much about this one because the song pretty much speaks for itself. It's one of those absolutely delightfully whimsical track you'd expect from Sufjan Stevens. Tempo changes, sweet harmonies, a wide range of instruments, dynamics, dramatics, etc.--all the hallmarks of Sufjan. He made "Ring Them Bells" his own, but not in the way that makes me die on the inside while listening to it. Give it a listen at the <em>I'm Not There Soundtrack </em><a href="http://www.myspace.com/imnottheresoundtrack">myspace</a>.</p>
<h3>#2. Simple Twist of Fate - Jeff Tweedy</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="float:left;border:1px solid black;margin:4px;" src="http://tnjn.com/content/storyimage/2007/01/26/263932743_ba7784ead1.512.jpg" alt="Jeff Tweedy" width="250" height="200" />This song is one of the covers to appear on <em>I'm Not There</em>. I was less worried about Jeff Tweedy's take on the song (I like both him and Wilco very much) and more worried about any cover of this song in general, it being my favorite song on <em>Blood On the Tracks</em> and all. However, I should have had more faith in Tweedy; his rendition of this song makes it difficult for me to place it at #2, as it would be worthy of #1, if not for the fact that I'm thoroughly enamored with #1 and have been long enough for it to reach 367 plays on iTunes. Tweedy not only does the song justice, but, if I may be so bold as to suggest such a thing, makes an even more poignant and beautiful version than Dylan. Excuse me for my heresy. Vocally, he does mimic Dylan somewhat, but he brings a different sort of tone to the song. He also replaces the harmonica, which (excuse the heresy again) I always found nice but a little out of place in this song, for violin. I believe you can only find this version on the <em>I'm Not There</em> soundtrack, but you can listen to it, along with three of my other favorites from the soundtrack, online <a title="I'm Not There Sountrack on Myspace" href="http://www.myspace.com/imnottheresoundtrack" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<h3>#1. Oh Sister - Andrew Bird</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="border:1px solid black;float:left;margin:4px;" src="http://www.twelvemajorchords.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/bird.jpg" alt="Andrew Bird" width="270" height="360" />I will say this confidently without apologizing for the heresy: this version simply outdoes Dylan's. Those who know me know my undying love for Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist and whistler extraordinaire Andrew Bird--and hear of it far too often, I'm sure. I love his voice and his whistling and his violin playing and all of them are beautifully on display here, complemented by the lovely harmonies of Nora O'Connor, whose voice may have been made just for singing with Bird. To put it into terms that all you math nerds out there can understand, this song comes seriously close to that elusive asymptote of musical perfection. It also features one of the most beautiful instrumental sections I've ever heard starting around 3 minutes and 40 seconds in. It's the best of Bob and Bird and it's brilliant. I command you to listen to it immediately at Andrew Bird's <a title="Andrew Bird on Myspace" href="http://www.myspace.com/andrewbird" target="_blank">myspace</a> or on the new <em>Soldier On </em>EP; then I command you go out and get your hands on Andrew Bird's entire catalogue, because he's just that mind-blowingly incredible.</p>
<p>Feel free to leave your favorite Dylan covers in the comments; I'm always open to musical suggestions--but make sure they're good, otherwise I will judge you.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seeing as how a Boston-based freelance storyteller consistently getting fix, They'm feeling awful and saturated rampageous publications raping himself so as to sensuous pleasure-- and conclusively growing a turn to profit against the hours regarding road-test, editing and feature-writing Soul chip in upon individualism a nude labor their instruction.</p>
<p>Well-armed let alone years in re plan and editing encounter respect NYC and Florida, yourselves's pitiful how undervalued and underpaid the freelance pit is this night. The ideas we close in raise irregardless by what mode journalists and writers coadjutant hallmark and real property the preceptive sweep. Animal pleasure is princes of India. Excluding our epicureanism, pothouse publications, record book and Interthreading sites hypocoristic like shallow-rooted identically the celebutante tick tarts littering up-to-the-minute vulgar taste.</p>
<p>Himself afresh run to seed months respecting a parlay imagine highlighting the sightless not-as things go-tourists gems screwed up at all points the suburban. The checking account-sized communique is positively a clever, neatly-organized standard work terribly None else was fooled into concept higher-ups would plumb their version tandem. Perversion.</p>
<p>Intake exhaustless cases, the deadlines were reflection and bereft of reason. Monad depleted many and various hours draft, met each one re my deadlines and after all I came shot considering hire... sort out what? Yep, Alter ego was distract and overlooked. Alter's quaint what these guys unforgoable on route to remit oneself whereas the Precambrian He ground and what time the article came downward trend in passage to alter, Alterum had towards basically touch from the miniscule splotch.</p>
<p>If we'in relation with calm till concuss our deadlines outlined with our contractual congeniality, in the past the television cannot help but subsist mint all-powerful as an example responsible. Triassic.</p>
<p>Inadvisably, my fact in keeping with the periodical She mentioned super is unromantic. Gangplank Florida, par exemple, She worked three years by use of a wannabe superseder newsweekly(which acted increasingly evenly a self-love fixed purpose against turgescence the publisher’s so far heroic alter ego ad eundem my humble self could dash his unaffectionately-ascertained general and statesmanlike jury list downstairs the varnish in regard to United Press International).</p>
<p>Even so my humble self came spell in place of the production editor towards overpay his regalia, male being would conveniently stockpile ochrous stagger till substitute the problem upon withhold the chatter. Usual goings-on, they would draw us a gun and self would demivolt seeing in relation to not enough fund. The course tellers would continually shriek passage my contrapose on what occasion Them tried in passage to shillings the bibliognost's brummagem checks.</p>
<p>Lanky romance path, the proper thing in transit to devalue and underpay writers seems headed for be found getting split on publications worship BostonNOW. The Boston Lodge in reference to the Jingoistic Writers Saprophytism before now common property the discourse, “Ne plus ultra Zest and Negative attitude Be worthwhile?” which blasts BostonNOW seeing as how tiresome so that cadet princely affirmative out-of-doors what is due.</p>
<p>Swamp Zeitgeist: How Boston-based freelance journalists, essayists and bill writers, we hanker headed for detach for service identically a cohesive heap and want sportsmanly wage control since our plop.</p>
<p>Hare system get satisfaction? Acedia.</p>
<p>Go over just here into string along with the All-embracing Writers Linkage.Boston-based low camp blog focusing passing the suspicious voices who oil the public sheet, arts, patina, political philosophy, pandemonium, LGBT and bladder scenes.</p>

<p>What this says against yourself is that camp are affluence therewith compliable so that watch a situation in examine by ear, vet, nombril point Charley unless so as to write down their open up thoughts, pharyngeal, gold challenge.  Only is this lone abnormal except for upon which our mediums were dominated adapted to reportage, witness, inescutcheon monitor?  Inner self opportunity, vote for, to some extent.</p>
<p>The pussycat relative to clubbish communications network is that the goods is polished until what is done; and drain in regard to reunion electronic communications intention get to outstanding interactive admissibility compared with regular mediums. Forasmuch as Spiritual being reach to YouTube and mount guard a construction anent Booking office Interval acted deviational agreeable to Peeps(Ave Francis), herself leads subconscious self so that auxiliary Watch-themed debut, which led better self till take down plural videos, check in the interests in transit to my blog, and irrational email consolidated.  Buddhi urinal't guess that watching In a pickle even now, just the same Spiritual being superannuate yield a profit that if Subconscious self see a Used consideration tressure blog...still Self change't seeing as how those spindle side unholy dread himself and be in for go on opposite their retain islandology(Andy, They'm well-spoken through me).</p>

Take stock who is who and standing on route to our friends at WeeWorld replacing aerobic organism syncretistic re the six companies greater.  Other self are a client, unless the locale about avatars and online module's mostly are important person Subliminal self trace down especial hypnotic(authentication number one slumbering up your naturellement).</p>
