Sat, 15 September 2007 This episode of the Your Moment of Zen zencast is dedicated to the acoustic guitar in all its glory. A long time ago I bought an acoustic guitar, back when I still entertained notions of rock stardom (or at least coffee house anonymity) and tried to learn to play. But unlike Bryan Adams, I did not play till my fingers bled, and therefore did not master the instrument. Today it sits quietly in the hallway, mocking me and what might have been. So in honor of my unplayed acoustic guitar I bring your Episode lucky #7... Tracklisting 1. Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova -- Falling Slowly 2. Joseph Arthur -- Honey and the Moon 3. Billy Bragg -- Northern Industrial Town 4. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club -- Complicated Situation 5. Bright Eyes -- From A Balance Beam 6. Cat Stevens -- Moonshadow 7. Coldplay -- Till Kingdom Come 8. Goo Goo Dolls -- Acoustic #3 9. Josh Ritter -- Snow is Gone (Live) 10. The Hereafter -- Eulogy Comments[2] |
Sat, 1 September 2007 I have tried to stay away from politics on this blog. I like to find lighter things to speak of but with my brother about to be deployed to Iraq sometime in the next few months I seem to be thinking about heavier things lately. So I compiled this podcast with songs that have a message about either war or revolution. I have no real political statement to make but I do feel that we have to take a hard look at what we are doing in the Middle East and why we are there. So here are songs that make a statement and ask questions about America's place in the world. Tracklisting 1. Husker Du -- Makes No Sense At All 2. Billy Bragg -- Price Of Oil 3. Pearl Jam -- Army Reserve 4. Micheal Franti and Spearhead -- Yell Fire! 5. REM -- Orange Crush 6. Rage Against The Machine -- Killing In The Name Of (Live) 7. Son Volt -- Jet Pilot 8. Warren Zevon -- The Envoy 9. Joe Strummer -- Redemption Song Comments[1] |
Tue, 14 August 2007 Music can transport you to some truly amazing places. It can also remind us of fond memories that we have long since forgotten, repressed or otherwise chose to ignore. Such is the theme of the latest podcast. I was taking a short trip down memory lane to when I was DJ at a college station in San Bernardino, CA. We had virtually no signal, about 3 listeners on average and no real format or direction but man we did some truly amazing stuff. There was a core of people who I worked with for those years at both the radio and TV sides of things that I truly enjoyed hanging with. These times came rushing back at me recently and I thought of some music that was reminiscent of those years. So I hope you enjoy this episode... Tracklisting 1. Boy Eats Drum Machine -- From An Oregon Coast 2. The Perishers -- My Heart 3. The Dead Kennedys -- Holiday In Cambodia (added bonus, my wife love this song, which is one reason she is one of the truly cool people in the world.) 4. Fugazi -- Cassavetes 5. The Stone Roses -- Elefant Stone 6. James -- P.S. 7. The Devlins -- Everything Comes Around 8. Dead Can Dance -- American Dreaming 9. Matt Nathanson -- You're Smiling 10. Toad The Wet Sprocket -- Fly From Heaven Comments[0] |
Tue, 31 July 2007 So I've switched over to a new podcast server and cleaned up the method of recording to try and make it better. Hopefully the changes will help. I was in a very British frame of mind when I recorded this so hopefully it's your cup of tea as well. I know that Death Cab, Aberdeen and Rogue Wave aren't British but they certainly are trying really hard to mimic that sound, so don't give me any crap about it OK? Anyway, enjoy Tracklisting Aberdeen -- Sink or Float The Smiths -- A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours The Editors -- The Weight Of The World The Klaxons -- Golden Skans Blur -- She's So High Elastica -- Waking Up Death Cab For Cutie -- This Charming Man Rogue Wave - Seconds Comments[0] |
