It is just in time for Wilds of Eldraine to release and introduce even more cool faerie cards into the format.

In this -- the FIFTIETH (!!!) episode -- of Meet Our Makers, we meet singer-songwriter Alela Diane. In this chat, Alela and I discuss her brand new record, Looking Glass, and some of what went into making it. We talk recording, we talk writing, we talk musicality, we talk theme -- she's got it all. We talk a bit about memory, and how we process things in our art so that we can live a regular day-to-day life. We talk about the symbolism of selling her longtime home, as well as some of our favorite ladies, like Joni and Judee and Joanna. I think you'll enjoy it. Thank you for listening.

durée : 00:54:14 - Very Good Trip - par : Michka Assayas - Voici une soirée qui commence très bien, grâce à Very Good Trip.

Having helped pave the way, Alela remains at the heart of a very strong current movement for female troubadours - a scene driven by the success of the likes of Sharon Van Etten, Angel Oslen, Julien Baker and even Phoebe Bridgers - but harking back to Joni Mitchell. It was Cat Power that proved an inspiration to Alela herself when she first started out making The Pirate's Gospel, then aged 19. It's taken almost five years for Alela to create another record since Cusp. Between raising her two young daughters (making a lot of snacks), renovating her Portland home and like all of us - getting through the global pandemic - it has taken time, graft and discipline to craft songs to a standard she has set for herself. But once she got into the studio (not just any studio but Tucker Martine's ‘Flora' in Northeast Portland, Oregon) the songs were recorded quickly. The new album Looking Glass processes the themes of domesticity, love & loss and how to face these dark times. In Alela's words the record is about:“Feeling the lightness and the darkness of the world at large. How do you get through your day-to-day life? How do we create a sweet, peaceful world for your children when there's a lot of chaos out there”.No doubt the record will act as a tonic to the blurry gloom outside your window. I would highly recommend you drink it down. Find the longer article at https://www.songsommelier.com/Support the show

Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast! Today my guest is Alela Sirah, a personal stylist with 20 years of experience in the fashion industry.    She uses her work to guide women through transitional life seasons, like milestone aging, breakups, new careers,...etc. But today, we're talking specifically about postpartum and how clothes can support new moms.     Some big takeaways are: Our clothes are on the outside, but they can affect how we feel on the inside.  Plan ahead! Think about what you want to feel like in that new phase. With fashion, it's not about how many clothes you have, but how you wear them.    Take a listen and learn more by reading the show notes! https://www.newmomboss.com/blog/97    Follow me on social media!

On today's episode, I discuss "land-to-hand artifact fetches", which are artifact cards that allow you to tutor for a land out of your library and put it into your hand. While the gold standard of this effect is Wayfarer's Bauble because it acts to ramp you by placing a land directly onto the battlefield, many players may miss the potential of other artifacts which bring lands to your hand (in many cases for less cost!). I argue that ensuring that you don't miss a single land drop during the course of the game is on par with actively ramping because you are able to better keep up with your opponents by taking advantage of the 1-land-per-turn rule. In its own way, this generates card advantage for you as the player because you are able to ensure that there is a land in your hand (and it's even better in decks looking to get multiple lands onto the field in one turn!). I then use examples of my own Alela, Artful Provacateur and Titania, Protector of Argoth decks as examples of places where I run these fetches so that I can guarantee that I hit my land drops. You can find me on Twitter at @MTGInQuarantine. The back catalog of my podcast is available on Spotify, Google Casts, and Apple Podcasts (along with Breaker, Anchor.FM, CastBox, and more!).

August is traditionally the month where my slender grasp of Song, by Toad Records admin is finally broken and everything collapses into a massive pile of shit. And that is just what has happened this year: I am behind on the accounts, haven't opened a single envelope which has been delivered to the house for about two months, and my inbox is a sprawling, out-of-control mess. Boo fucking hoo. Nevertheless it all has to be smartened up by September. I have a new accountant, having been kicked to the kerb by the previous one for being too disorganised to be worth the hassle, so I can't fuck this one up or I really am in trouble! So August gets to be messy, and then I have to get my shit together for real and get this whole nasty mess under control again. There are plenty of old favourites on this podcast - blog-era favourites, not real oldies, but nevertheless, some artists I haven't played for ages. There's also a wee taster from the new batch of Toad Sessions we're working on, to give you a taste of the new stuff. They are going to be a lot of work, but still tremendous fun to do, and I think the results are likely to be awesome. 01. Frog - Ichabod Crane (00.16)02.

Another podcast from the South Coast, as I am down in Brighton again this weekend, visiting my parents.  My wee brother happens to be over visiting from the States as well, so we went to see Brighton & Hove Albion yesterday, which was rather fun, despite the rain.Tonight there will be roast pork and gins and tonic, and then tomorrow we will walk into Brighton to see how good a job our distributors are doing at getting Song, by Toad Records releases into the music shops around these parts. It feels a bit sneaky, checking up on people like that, but it has to be done I suppose.Anyhow, next week I am hoping to have a new Toad Session for you. About fucking time blah blah get on with it etc... I know, I know, but I promise I really am doing my best to get these edited and out for you - honest! 01. D. Gwalia - In Puget Sound (00.04)02.

iTunes Single of the Week (right now). Alela Diane performs To Be Still standout "Dry Grass & Shadows" (accompanied by her father on mandolin) in this new "Dumbo West" session. Shot at the Funky Church, in Alela's hometown of Portland, Oregon. Directed by Mark Hoffman.

Hello and welcome back to the Toad Sessions. I was a little drunk when I noticed that Alela Diane was playing in Edinburgh as part of the Triptych Festival, so the idea of emailing her label and inviting her to do a Toad Session didn't seem quite so preposterous. In the morning, I thought I was mad and would be laughed at, but amazingly they agreed, and now here it is. This one was also recorded by Nick at Bananarow and he's done another amazing job - the songs sound absolutely gorgeous. Dylan's pictures can be found at the Flickr page, and we have some more videos at the Song, by Toad YouTube page. Here's the interview podcast, with the tracklisting at the bottom of the page. Toadcast #30 - Alela Diane & Mariee Sioux Toad Session Here are the sessions tracks themselves. The Cuckoo is a traditional song, and Dry Grass & the Shadows is from Alela's new album which should hopefully be out later this year. Mariee's songs are Flowers & Blood from her recent album Faces in the Rocks, whereas the gorgeous Icarus Eye is an old song from a home release. Alela Diane - Dry Grass & the Shadows Alela Diane - The Cuckoo Mariee Sioux - The Icarus Eye Mariee Sioux - Flowers & Blood Here are the videos, all hosted at the YouTube page. Again, the interview is going to have to go up later because I seem to have entirely lost Morgan, my resident editing expert, so I've had to cobble these things together myself. I am going to work on the interview movies as best I can, so they should hopefully be available in a week or two. Alela Diane - Dry Grass & the Shadows movie. Mariee Sioux - The Icarus Eye movie. 01.
