Episode 128 – Mailbag Mixer

Von — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:02:44 +0000

In this episode I open some CD submission that I’ve gotten through the mail and haven’t had a chance to check out yet. I take a risk by randomly playing tracks from the unheard albums. I talk about how wrong I was about thinking that I could just walk away from this show, and shout out some friends.

Review – “I’m Dead, Serious” by Micah Schnabel

Von — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:16:45 +0000

It’s undeniable that Micah is a master of the “lamenting-a-failed-relationship” song. The “what ifs”, “should haves”, and “wish I didn’t's” of any failed relationship are all present in familiar form. From the opening line of the opening song, “Choir Boys”, the tone for the album is set by the line “You’ve got to be kidding me. Is this really how this is gonna end?“. The theme of heartbreak is run straight through to a line in the final track of the album, “This is My Headstone”, where he confesses “It takes a better man than me, I guess, to carry all this loneliness. If you want to know my one regret, well, I never really found her“.

The songs of heartbreak and spite are entwined with tales of a weary traveling musician, and Micah’s disenchantment with religion. All proving entertaining because of the slick lyrics used. At any point, on any song, without fail you can imagine vividly what is being said both upfront and in between the lines.

As for the production, it seems that this album is a little less gritty that it’s predecessor. The arrangements are more pop oriented, but it works in a weirdly positive way. The poppy uptempo bass and piano intro of “The Heavy Things” starts you off happily (and later uncomfortably) singing along about the unfortunate death of a friend.

Overall it’s the perfect album to listen to if you’ve just broken up with your girlfriend or feel like sulking over a loss in general. But in a catchy way that could possibly cheer you up. (?)

The digital download of this album made it into my top 24 albums of 2011 (even though it’s physical release isn’t until 2012).

THE AMERICANA ROCK MIX TOP 24 OF 2011

Von — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 14:02:04 +0000

Yeah, yeah. It’s that time of year again. Everyone is doing it, and so am I. My top albums of 2011.

This was a really tough list to gather. 2011 was crammed with amazing music, so that just made the decision making that much harder.

34 people e-mailed and messaged me with suggestions of what my final top number should be this year. Suggestions ranged from “Top 10″ to “Top 53″! That wasn’t going to happen anyway. But the most common number suggested was “Top 24″.

I didn’t implement any rules into this years list. As that was too much of a pain last year. So, it all comes down to what I was personally listening to the most this year.

Hopefully you’ll find an album or two on here that aren’t on anyone else’s lists.

This list is in no particular order.

- Yes And Also Yes by Mike Doughty

- Dark And Bloody Ground – Fifth On The Floor

- I’m Dead – Micah Schnabel (NOTE: Even though the physical album doesn’t get released until 2012, the pre-order instant download makes it a 2011 contender)

- Mergers & Acquistions – Have Gun, Will Travel

- Grand Theatre Vol. 2 – Old 97′s

- Long Live All Of Us – Glossary

- Low Down – The Mallett Brothers Band

- Go-Go Boots – Drive-By Truckers

- The King Is Dead – The Decemberists

- Moving On – Lauderdale

- Here We Rest – Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit

- Gravel & Wine – Gin Wigmore

- Indestructible Machine – Lydia Loveless

- Manifesto – Matt Woods

- England Keep My Bones – Frank Turner

- Death Of A Decade – Ha Ha Tonka

- Knife Man – Andrew Jackson Jihad

- American Stranger – The Only Sons

- Kiss Each Other Clean – Iron & Wine

- 37 – Roger Bryan & The Orphans

- The Bluebird Sessions – Memphis Train Union

- Number Seven – Will Hoge

- A New Home In The Old World – Austin Lucas

- Yours Truly – 16 Horsepower

I don’t have any explanations for my choices to type out to you. I will give my opinions when the show returns on January 5th with episode 126.
