A lovely record with a story around it.

Feebles, Fables & Ferns was recorded nearly forty years ago by Mick Goodrick and Fred Hersch, and hearing it now feels like stumbling upon a musical treasure.

A few thoughts here:

Towers built to a god of our own making never stand.

In I Built You a Tower, Death Cab for Cutie deliver a record about longing, loss, and the fragile things we try to make ultimate.

A great new album, and a new review is up now.

W.F. Smith Leithart's soundtrack for "The White Ibis" is 18 minutes of dark soundscapes, visceral drums, throat singing, and punctuated strings.

Intriguing and rewarding. Don't sleep on it.

Small rooms. Real instruments. Real stories.

Friday night in Birmingham reminded me why folk music still matters. New piece up.

John Calvin on the power of music… “There is scarcely in the world anything which is more able (than music) to turn or bend this way and that the morals of men, as Plato prudently considered it. And in fact, we find by experience that it has a sacred and almost incredible power to move hearts in one way or another. Therefore we ought to be even more diligent in regulating it in such a way that it shall be useful to us and in no way pernicious. For this reason the ancient doctors of the Church complain frequently of this, that the people of their times were addicted to dishonest and shameless songs, which not without cause they referred to and called mortal and Satanic poison for corrupting the world. Moreover, in speaking now of music, I understand two parts: namely the letter, or subject and matter; secondly, the song, or the melody. It is true that every bad word (as St. Paul has said) perverts good manner, but when the melody is with it, it pierces the heart much more strongly, and enters into it; in a like manner as through a funnel, the wine is poured into the vessel; so also the venom and the corruption is distilled to the depths of the heart by the melody.”

This was an excellent time with the great Joffre Swait!

I hung out with @brianpmoats of @audiodeacon and it was supercool. You should sign up for Audio Deacon, which is a Christian music streaming service.

To be clear, it's a music streaming service that is Christian. Robustly, joyfully, uncompromisingly Christian, full of Psalms and hymns and also, one day, Weezer and Bob Dylan.
