I woke up this morning to the songs of birds bartering over trees and territories. And then Tino dropped by to remind me of how it's been too long since I sat in the grass and resigned myself to the splendor of Leonard Cohen. #leonard cohen #mp3

The Shaggs comprised the four young daughters of one Austin Wiggins, who pulled them out of school and told them to start playing music after their grandmother had a palm reading indicating that her granddaughters would make up a popular musical group. The fact that the girls couldn’t play and had no desire to do so didn’t deter their would-be svengali father in the slightest, and the band duly released their one and only album — Philosophy of the World — in 1969. It was the sound of four ingenues creating their own musical world, with virtually no references to anything else that had gone on in music, well, ever. There are times when Philosophy of the World is almost unlistenable — but then, there are also times when it creates its own strange, singular beauty.

But never fear, Magma fans, we’re not going to omit them from this feature — there’s always a place in a weird album list for a freeform neo-classical piece that was inspired by a vision, is sung largely in an invented language and apparently tells the story of a group of evangelists from the planet Kobaïa visiting Earth to save us from destruction via worship of their supreme being. The music and concepts in Magma’s work are so out-there that they created an entire genre, dubbed zeuhl (which means “celestial” in Kobaïan, the language that Magma mastermind Christian Vander invented for the first Magma record and in which most of his lyrics are written).

Pete Seeger recorded Songs of Struggle and Protest on Folkways Records in 1964, just three years after testifying before the House of Un-American Activities Committee and during the height of his blacklist status. The songs have a rich history - some are written by Woody Guthrie and The Almanac Singers, a group of folk musicians who often sang for worker’s rights, and others hearken back to the Wobblies (The Industrial Workers of the World) who unionized in 1905. They are the very sorts of songs that got Pete blacklisted - songs of common humanity, struggle, and protest.

Noze. Nôze, an adventurous electro band from Paris, being praised by the press since their live gig at the 2005 Sonar Festival. Nôze are two comrades, two troublemakers, full of life, joy and happiness, often wearing their straw hats and stripping of their clothes at the end of their show after musically anything has been touched.
The banjo's roots reconsidered on NPR. For some of us Southerners, this is not exactly new news. :)
“Albuquerque (Neil Young Cover)” by Jeffrey Foucault. Does he pull it off?
The Pine Hill Haints, an Alabama "ghost music" group.
