Its that time of the year again! For some reason, the autumn always reminds me of my childhood. Backyard football, sweating under layers as the sun goes down too early and you sprint with your chest puffed out toward the tipping point that slides you right on through the new year. We were ready for whatever was next, never yearning for the past. This season feels like a shedding of the old, an exfoliation of the soul. At times we must look to our youth for strength. We must push forward with wet nose naivete, soap and water backbone.

"The recording was made from sounds while walking along the irrigation canals one afternoon in Las Cruces, NM from my house to the Rio Grande. They include: walking, red wing black birds, tractors in the onion fields, wind rustling in the bushes, water release into the canals, bees, and the Rio Grande." http://www.reelfootlibrary.com/audio/walktotheriver.mp3 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 13:03:57 -0500 field recordings no 00:03:10 reelfoot,library,stockholm finn-priest,big,kitty Stockholm Finn-Priest 20 short poems by Stockholm Finn-Priest. Recorded next to the thawing shores of Lake Michigan during the late winter of 2008. A Life Worth Dying For, is a collection of short poems by Stockholm Finn-Priest, a man whose dark imagery and fever dream messages strike abruptly and directly at the gut. He is a minimalist with words. Choosing the few carefully, he crafts thoughts both extraordinarily insightful and frightfully abstract. During the early spring of 2008, Stockholm sat by the thawing shores of Lake Michigan and recorded an audio version of the entire collection, which will be included on CD with each book. His voice reflects the duality of pain and relentless optimism apparant in his writing. http://www.reelfootlibrary.com/audio/alifeworthdyingfor.mp3 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 13:01:18 -0500 poetry no 00:15:00 reelfoot,library,stockholm finn-priest,big,kitty Big Kitty The recordings of Clark Williams, AKA Big Kitty are both winsome and thoughtful. Released in tandem with Mule Magazine The recordings of Clark Williams, AKA Big Kitty are both winsome and thoughtful. He has found a way to seamlessly connect the American folk song with sweeping images of the otherworlds. He travels from green pastures to alien heavens in the breadth of just a few hard-lipped lines. His ballads go from traditional structures and timing to moments where the tracks seem to disintegrate and back again. He sings of loneliness, long lost cultures, abductions, and the loneliness of being abducted by long lost cultures. Released in tandem with Mule Magazine. Tracklisting: 01. Down, Down, Down 02. Headed Nowhere 03. From Right Here To Nowhere 04. Because I Don't Love You 05.

Basement flood-worn cardboard covers and a dead man’s favorite song circled in blue ink. It only gets easier from here on out. The weekly choir meeting has been adjourned due to hoarsness.
