This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in ODDS
Kicks off with loveliness from Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin and before Robert Lester Folsom starts singing 'see you later', you'll hear: a corker from Alabama Shakes, Mountain Man covering a mountain man, GRANDMAS with the all the As taken out, Will Johnson, T.Rex, The Weather Station and a bunch more great stuff.
"hauntingly beautiful, these songs pull emotions out of me like long noodles in a hot soup which then I can more or less tenderly soak back up"
“I'm a bit of a sucker for jams that mix in old audio samples; always seems to trigger a gravitational force that pulls me further into the headphones for a closer listen. This EP has got that thing. And you’ll find yourself wanting to go back to the start once you get to the end."
“Unplug from social media as much as possible. I'm trying to call people more now rather than just texting or messaging, etc.”
The Soundcloud playlist for this month’s approved Submithub submissions is now up & running for February 2018.
EPISODE 060 kicks off with some Wilder Maker and closes out with a track from that Elliott Smith cover album from Seth Avett & Jessica Lea Mayfield that I totally forgot had happened. In between those, you'll hear some new-to-me Isaac Brock solo stuff, newish Beirut and oldish Cory Branan… and a whole bunch more.
“Expected this to be good but, wow, I didn't expect it to be this awesome! If you love White Lighter don't hesitate, you'll love this!”
“Dan Willson of Withered Hand lore is the best writer of melodies currently alive (believe me, I've looked). He hasn't written a song I don't adore. The streak continues here. I'm also happy to report that the songs from a Singer of Songs are also quite lovely, especially the last. Buy this and everything these two outfits have ever produced.”
“I like to go for walks with headphones or a camera every day. I think it's important to take some time to let your mind be still, to just breathe.”
EPISODE 63 kicks off with the lovingly lofi Katie Von Schleicher, and before things close out with an absolute surprise from LUKA, you'll hear: Joshua James singing Modest Mouse, Pet Cemetary sampling I Heart Huckabees, Ed Harcourt, my favourite chorus of the year from (Ariel Sharratt & Mathias Kom) and even more 'good for the ears' things.
“Starting the day without looking at a screen. When possible, don't look at your phone or computer until after breakfast. I have never regretted this decision.”
