You probably know Gary Louris as the leader of The Jayhawks – or as they refer to themselves, “a band from Minnesota.” The Jayhawks are pioneers of roots rock, alt-country, and Americana. Whatever you wanna call it, they've been making records where rock, pop, country, and other forms of American roots music overlap since the mid-1980s.But Louris's hidden superpower is that he's kind of like a musical Swiss Army knife – he's basically got a creative skill for any application. Want him and his band to serve as accompanists for some of the most distinctive singer-songwriters, like Wesley Stage and Joe Henry? He can do that. Looking for achingly-perfect, near-fraternal harmonies on hit songs like Counting Crows' “Mr. Jones”? He can (and did) do that. If you're the Tedeschi Trucks Band or The Chicks and you're looking for someone to write you some catchy, melodic, roots-pop songs? Gary's your guy. If that's not enough, he has also produced records for artists like Dar Williams, The Sadies, and The Jayhawks, too. Whatever your musical need may be, chances are that Gary Louris can do it.In between all these varied musical roles, Louris has also found time to release several solo albums, the newest of which – 'Dark Country' – was released earlier this month. He recorded it mostly solo in his home studio and the word on the street is that this collection of songs, inspired by his wife, is his most intimate and romantic album yet. I've been a big fan of Gary Louris for basically my entire adult life and enjoyed our wide-ranging Basic Folk conversation, touching on the way technical limitations can shape an artist's style, what he's learned from a career's-worth of collaborations, his process working on his new solo album, the relationship between versatility and longevity, and what the influence of romance on his songwriting looks like now, in the fifth decade of his music career.Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknewsHelp produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/Interested in sponsoring us?

By now we know that we need to connect to the More than Human world. We know we need to grow into adulthood and elder hood. We know we need to move from a Trauma Culture to an Initiation Culture. But knowing these things is not the same as living them as a reality. To get here, we need waymakers, people of huge heart and raw courage to walk away from the limited, goal-based directions of our culture and step into the ways of being where we meet in open-hearted, full-hearted, strong-hearted relationship with the land and all that lives there. Daniel Firth Griffith is one of these people. With his wife, Morgan, and their three children, Daniel lives on 400 acres on the eastern side of the Appalachian mountains where he is steadily building relationship with the land. He lives amongst cattle, sheep, goats and horses - the latter used for logging, on land that was scheduled to be clear-cut when Daniel and Morgan first moved there. With a growing understanding that even the forms of agriculture we term 'regenerative' are still part of what I would call the Trauma Culture, Daniel and Morgan have been on a steady journey of transition through to something that feels to me entirely different. This is what we need to be. It's not clear cut. There isn't a hard and fast recipe because every bit of land is different and each of us is different and the routes to connection are unique... up to a point. But there are baselines we can learn: be human. Find what that means for you when 'human' is not simply being a wheel in an extractive system. We had a really long conversation and we stopped at about 90 minutes in and restarted so you can listen to it in two parts. We go down rabbit holes. We tell stories, or at least, Daniel does, big, deep, tear-flowing, heart-searing stories that made both of us weep...because stories are how we learn. This conversation, or these conversations, felt like sitting at the feet of an indigenous elder and the fact that this can happen in 2025, talking to someone of white ancestry who lives on lands stolen by colonialists... this is what gives me hope. We can't undo our past, but we can grow into what the future needs of us, and Daniel, Morgan and those who visit them are doing this. Daniel's an astonishing author as well as everything else, so please do visit his website and buy his books: as with everything else he does, they are filled with layers upon layers of meaning. Daniel's website https://danielfirthgriffith.com/
Daniel remains one of the few people I know who is originally of the Trauma Culture but is living absolutely integral to his land - and we couldn't keep our conversation confined to 60 minutes. So we broke at an appropriate point and came back. This is the second part - please do listen to the first if you've only just found us - we literally paused the recording, took a breath and continued…As ever, if you're interested in Daniel's work visit his website. And if you have the means, do buy his books, they are genuinely beautiful. Stagtine, Wild Like Flowers and Dark Country are all out now and Plain of Pillars will be released in May of 2025.
Today's Song of the Day is “Getting Older” from Gary Louris' album Dark Country, out February 14.

Complicated orange. Blueberry scamcakes. Mail-adjusted. The China(wo)man is the issue here. Another fulfulling and totally worthwhile Bumble date. The Donut King. 0 for 3 on "not weirdo/noisy neighbors" so far in 1.5 years of living here. My two cents on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcie, I weigh in like everyone else-y. True Detective, Dark Country. (so far) Matthew Weiner head (apparently).
Tracing ancestry through the motherline, this week's guest Sylvia V. Linsteadt introduces listeners to the world of matrilineal myth and wisdom. For Sylvia, story and myth are very much alive and can offer valuable insight especially as we consider what it means to inhabit a place. From stories of female monks, to the practical wisdom of weaving, to the veneration of The Virgin Mary, Sylvia reminds us of what it means to value the feminine. Throughout the episode, Sylvia and Ayana consider questions at the very foundation of our cultures. Winding through questions of patriarchy, religion, and violence, Ayana and Sylvia do not find singular answers, but rather a wisdom that arises from questioning the things that are deeply enmeshed in our culture. As we reckon with a violent and troubling world, how can we turn to stories that guide us to liberation? Sylvia Linsteadt is a writer and certified wildlife tracker from northern California, ancestral Coast Miwok territory. She currently lives in Devon, England. Her work—both fiction and non-fiction—is rooted in myth, ecology, ancient history, feminism & bioregionalism, and is devoted to broadening our human stories to include the voices of the living land. She is the author of the collections The Venus Year and Our Lady of the Dark Country, two novels for young readers, The Wild Folk and The Wild Folk Rising, and the post-apocalyptic folktale cycle Tatterdemalion with painter Rima Staines. Her nonfiction books include The Wonderments of the East Bay, and Lost Worlds of the San Francisco Bay Area, which won the 2018 Northern California Book Award for best general nonfiction. She is currently finishing a novel set in Bronze Age Crete, where she has lived and researched extensively. Sylvia also teaches occasional myth-oriented creative writing workshops, and shares her work out loud on her podcast Kalliope's Sanctum.Music by The New Runes.

In this special, first ever interview-episode, I'm sharing a recent conversation between myself and my beloved friend Nao Sims—teacher of women's sacred dance for over 25 years, beekeeper, gardener, homesteader, mother, and lover of poetry and myth— as a celebration and announcement for our March 2nd & 3rd in-person workshop on Vancouver Island, Swan Stories, as well as Nao's Six Swans dance series running from January 22nd- February 26th 2024, which will include a writing workshop with me!

Linsteadt. This podcast is dedicated to Kalliope, primordial and first Muse of epic poetry and ecstatic song in ancient Greece. This podcast is a place of sanctuary for her oldest stories. It is a return to the wild garden, to the spring, to the ground of being & the source of inspiration in the Earth. Here, we honor Kalliope as Muse of Earth. Here, you will find some of the stories beneath the stories of Old Europe: short fictional/poetic pieces written and read by Sylvia that explore elements of indigenous Old European mythology, with a focus on pre-Hellenic (pre-Patriarchal) Greece. Come sit with us in the honeyed light, among the ripe pomegranates, in Kalliope's sanctuary, where the stories that arise directly from the ground of being and lifeforce can still be safely told and celebrated. Come lean against the sun-warmed stones, with the fragrance of propolis & myrrh in the air, and the trees heavy with autumn quince.

Ever since Sylvia was a little girl, she's always read and written stories and was very drawn to old myths and ancient cultures, almost wanting to embody them through her writing as her way into them. For the longest time, she considered her writing fantasy, separated from her sense of embodied participation with the Earth and with life along with a fear to connect these two worlds. However, her writing became her intuitive channel as it opened her process and molded her 20s slowly as she studied animal tracking, wanting to reflect the land around her from a more than human perspective. Animal tracking taught her this language to listen deeply into the land that she was in. As she continued her studies, things started to weave in intuitively as it does with creative work to a place that she couldn't really articulate or speak to. Unfortunately (or rather fortunately), a painful experience called her to the island of Crete, opening her consciousness of her own relationship to her intuition, connecting something, and initiating her process of remembering. Sylvia Linsteadt is a writer, artist, and certified animal tracker. She has authored books such as “Our Lady of the Dark Country”, the award-nominated middle grade fantasy duology “The Wild Folk” and “The Wild Folk Rising”, the novel “Tatterdemalion”, and an award-winning collection of essays entitled “Lost Worlds of the San Francisco Bay Area”.

Practiced, sung and recorded through the winter solstice, new moon and now the edge of Christmas, as the Virgin Mary swells with child and comes to the eve of birth, I offer into this moment of celestial light and earthly dark a faithful rendition of the old Scottish borderland folk ballad Tam Lin (Child Ballad 39), accompanied and mixed by my brother Simon Linsteadt on guitar.

Morning Star Woman & Ivan the Youngest Son is, in its original bones, my own telling of the Russian fairytale "The Maiden Tsar," as explored by Robert Bly and Marion Woodman in their book The Maiden King. I will admit, however, that I've taken it and run with it. You will see flashes as far afield as the Fisher King of Arthurian legend, and admittedly a few further too. And you will see that its Maiden Tsar, its swan queen, became merged with my imaginings of Venus in her recent descent below the rim of the horizon, out of sight, in mid-September, as if Venus's passage through the underworld were the story of a woman coming down to earth, becoming human. Today she meets the heart of the Sun, and begins climbing toward evening. So this is a story of swan women and eggs and fishermen, of wise old men in huts and the oldest woman in the world who lives in the moon; of how to mend broken things; of learning how to love, and love well. It is a prayer for fatherlines and motherlines and heartlines, a prayer for all the people I love, a prayer for the women and men in the streets of Iran standing and fighting for their freedom and the radiance of their lives, a prayer for something we perhaps all together have nearly forgotten, a prayer for what we cannot afford to lose, together on this Ark, our holy ground, our home. In my introduction, I mention the release of a new collection of mine that steps deeper into the movements of Venus as well as my own heart.

Halloween is over for another year but there are still plenty of monsters to go around.Our guest this week is Kim Newman, the writer, critic and encyclopaedic authority on horror, pulp and the dark recesses of cinematic history. You may know him as the author of the Anno Dracula series, but that's only the tip of his imaginative iceberg.Kim's new novel, Something More than Night, takes all of that arcane knowledge and puts it to use – transporting us back to the Hollywood of the 1930s when fascism is on the rise and it's hard to tell the movie monsters from the real madmen. Cue the pairing of horror-icon Boris Karloff and gumshoe writer Raymond Chandler, who unite to confront some very strange goings on behind the scenes.In between educating me on the finer points of Hollywood history, Kim talks about the enduring legacy of Frankenstein, imitating Chandler's unique style, writing novels in a connected universe - and we realise just how similar he is to Quention Tarantino. This one is an absolute blast.Enjoy! Something More than Night was published on November 2nd by Titan Books.Other books mentioned in this episode include:Anno Dracula (1992), by Kim NewmanAnno Dracula 1999: Daikaiju (1999), by Kim NewmanNightmare Movies: Horror on Screen Since the 1960s (1988) by Kim Newman.

Bonnie & Taylor Sims have long been fixtures of the Colorado roots music scene, including with their band Bonnie & the Clydes. In 2018, Bonnie was approached by Robbie Nevil (of "C'est la Vie" fame) to be the voice of a new project that would become Everybody Loves An Outlaw. In 2020, Nevil's original song "I See Red" featuring Bonnie's singing, Taylor's guitar playing, and Robbie's production, went to #1 on Spotify's Viral 50 - Global chart thanks to its climactic placement in the Netflix film '365 Days.' This is a conversation about that transformative chapter in Bonnie's and Taylor's careers, beginning with their being signed to Columbia Records.

This is the fourth and final part of my novella The Dark Country, set on the imagined, Greek-inspired island of Kefthyra. In it, a maiden, mother and crone call forth the old language, and the snakes that live in the Earth, to try to overthrow a colonial empire. See Episode 11 for part one. I am sharing the full novella in four parts over the spring & summer seasons. May these words be seeds in this time, rising Earth's old language, and justice, through each of you.

I am sharing the full novella in four parts over the spring & summer seasons. May these words be seeds in this time, rising Earth's old language, and justice, through each of you.

In this episode I explore the story of Calypso, the nereid daughter of sea-Titans who is infamous for seducing Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey. Here, Calypso gives a different perspective. Here, we see Calypso as a keeper of her lineage's ancestral traditions of seeing and healing, as the powerful keeper of secrets, as a font of wildness and of earthen truth. I wrote this story at the end of April 2019 in Crete, not realizing that its themes of veiling and unveiling, of Apocalypse, would feel so terribly powerfully relevant a year and a few months later. I hope that Calypso's fierce strength, as well as her guileless love and tenderness, bring a new seeing and a new light to your spirit.

In this episode, I read the short story "The Pythia," from Our Lady of the Dark Country, my 2018 collection. This tale explores the underpinnings of the myth of Apollo and his takeover of the oracle at Delphi. In the oldest stories, Delphi belongs not to Apollo but to oracular and dreaming women who spoke to the Python in the Earth— the child of Ge. Gaia. Earth. Before Apollo, Delphi belonged to Ge, the goddess of Earth, who is, of course far far older than any Olympian gods. This story is told from the point of view of one of the Pythias, Daphne. It is her account of the day Apollo came, of what led up to it, and what still remains.

"Ashes, and the King Who Came Home," is a short prose-poem-tale, written last August 2019 (and first shared on my Patreon https://www.patreon.com/sylvialinsteadt). It is a reflection and weaving of many threads, both personal and mythic, that were pressing strongly on my psyche at the time. It is about the great wound to the masculine in our culture, and a poetic dream-exploration of its roots; a tragedy that is so deep sometimes it is hard for me to speak about, for it makes me weep. I use The Handless Maiden fairytale as a frame in this story, as told by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, with the King, the Devil, the Messenger, revealing some old wounds and patterns. There are other threads too-- of the underworlds that came with patriarchy. It felt right to share in this moment, this week, this time on our Beloved Earth, with so much loss and so many wounds of all kinds being pressed up to the light to be cleansed, to be loved, to be healed. It's big work. It's exhausting work. It's courageous work. I hope this tale-incantation prayer can bring a bit of sea-salt to cleanse the wound, even if it stings, and then honey.

This episode of Kalliope's Sanctum is a reading of my story The Garden, from my 2018 collection, Our Lady of the Dark Country. It was inspired partly by one of Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus, which I read in the introduction, and partly by the truly enchanted garden of my dear friend Nao who lives on Vancouver Island, and is a beekeeper, dance teacher, keeps a B&B cottage, and tends the extraordinary flowers & vegetables of Honey Grove.

This week, I wanted to offer a space of respite, of nourishment, and of comfort in these wildly unknowable, difficult, but profound times. So the Nunnery of Iona came to me, coupled with a sister poem, The Queen of Moss & Green, both of which I wrote during my time in the Scottish highlands and Hebrides this past August of 2019. I hope these words bring you deeper into the sanctuary of your body and of the Earth right where you are, today, into the wellspring of tenderness that is there when we ask, and listen. I also hope they bring you into the root & crown of the power that is only yours, that is indwelling, that you came here with, and that is waiting for you to sit down in, and name.

This episode is Part 2 of a two part reading of my short story, "Rhea Silvia," from my January 2018 story & poem collection Our Lady of the Dark Country (https://www.ptreyesbooks.com/book/9780999696606). Please listen to Part 1, the previous episode, before Part 2, or it won't make much sense! :) This is a retelling of the tale of Rhea Silvia, the so-called mother of Rome— mother of Romulus and Remus, twin brothers who were later suckled by a wolf, and who founded that great and terrible city, which paved the way for so much of the imperialism that we still live within the story of. In this telling, I try to dig beneath imperial Rome, exploring some of the last traces of the tribal cultures that had occupied the lands of Italy since prehistoric times, and that still persisted even under Roman ideology and rule. Rhea Silvia, in my mind, comes from a line of indigenous Latin people; her name suggests a far old woodland power, Vestal and yet wild. In the introduction I discuss a bit more about this, including pre-Latin, non Indo European languages. Please note that there is sensitive material in Part 2—indirect mention of rape & direct mention of violence— as there was in the original, and in this time in history. Not in any way gratuitous I pray, but necessarily present. I make this note tor listeners for whom this might be triggering. I will say though, that while the story of Rhea Silvia is certainly tragic, I hope my telling is one of deep hope and redemption.

Come sit with us in the honeyed light, among the ripe pomegranates, in Kalliope's sanctuary, where the stories that arise directly from the ground of being and lifeforce can still be safely told and celebrated. Come lean against the sun-warmed stones, with the fragrance of propolis & myrrh in the air, and the trees heavy with autumn quince. This is the garden before the fall, a sanctuary for all hearts in this time. Join us, and be revived. ABOUT SYLVIA V. LINSTEADT: Sylvia V.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Kalliope's Sanctum! In this episode, I begin with a poetic imagining of Kalliope's story, the one before she was ever Muse on Mount Olympus, and also after, now, as we liberate her back to her own ground of being, where she began. I introduce the episode with a few notes about her mythic context, but the story-poem itself begins at 9:58. In the notes, I mention an upcoming opportunity to hear the ecstatic music of Crete live, in my house in California, on February 29th 2020. See more here! https://www.zygiamusic.com/ (Note that the opening music is played by the same musician who will be performing here, Giannis Linardakis.)

In this episode, Israeli poet Tahel Frosh talks to us about her debut poetry collection Betsa (Avarice, 2014), financial crisis, and the value of culture. We revisit the summer of 2011, when a series of protests spread across Israel sparked by rising housing costs, the increased cost of living, and a widening gap between rich and poor. During this period, poets like Frosh were notably active, organizing public readings and distributing their poetry online and for free. A few years later, Frosh published Avarice to wide acclaim. In Hebrew, the word for “avarice" is "betsa," which derives from the root meaning “to break off, cut and tear apart.” Frosh's visit to Oxford in February presented an opportunity to revisit the making of Avarice and the questions that it raises about the value of poetry and the complicated role that money plays in our lives. This episode features the poem “Dark Country" from Frosh’s Avarice, published in 2014 by Mossad Bialik.

Welcome to a special episode of the GGtMC!!! This week, Will, Sammy and the Almighty Dave Allcock have a conversation with Thomas Jane. Tom is an actor in some very big films you may have seen such as The Mist, Stander, Dark Country (which he also directed) and Boogie Nights!!! I want to emphasize that this is very much an unstructured conversation with some structure from time to time but it is mostly four movie geeks having a conversation and talking cinema!!! We believe you have become accustomed to that type of conversation here at the GGtMC. Check out Tom's comics and other projects over at rawstudios.com Emails to midnitecinema@gmail.com Voicemails 206-666-5207 Adios!!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ggtmc/message
Hey everyone, and welcome to a very special episode of Punisher: Body Count! We finally got Tom Jane on the show, and it was a perfect time for it too! Tom Jane's company Raw Studios has been announcing a ton of new material, such as a graphic novel adaptation of The Dark Country movie he directed/starred in, and new volume to Bad Planet coming to Comixology, which is also being kickstarted by Red Fly Studio into a video game! Keep an eye out for those projects, coming to book stores and comic shops near you! Also, he made a short Punisher fan film with a Ron Perlman cameo, so that's pretty neat I guess. And by "neat" I mean unimaginably brutal and cool. Tom Jane called us after a long weekend at San Diego Comicon, where he chatted with us for an hour and then gave us the link to the short film itself, only hours after it premiered at his panel! The guy is one of the hardest workers in the entertainment business, and it was a pleasure having him on the show. If you haven't already, go click that Raw Studios link above, check out his site, peruse his forums, and give his crew some props. Here are some highlights of the interview where Tom: -Wonders how I knew about his cat -Brings us up to date on what he and Tim Bradstreet are releasing from Raw Studios, as well as his dream film projects -Discusses how Avi Arad and Tim Bradstreet got him to play the Punisher, a character he originally turned down! -Talks about feelings on the 2004 Punisher film he starred in -Explains how his Punisher fan film came together -What the Punisher means to him as a character and how he believes he should be handled -Shoots the shit with us about muscle cars and cigars -Tells us how to play the Hollywood game, and why it's worth it in the end We hope you enjoy the interview as much as we did. Stick around after the interview to hear Jake's instructions on how to win the contest we're running in honor of our upcoming 25th episode! If you'd like, hit us up on iTunes or RSS.

"Simple, Dark Country." Chris MacDonald, IndieFeed Indie Pop
Movie Meltdown - Episode 49.2 We found out this fact as we watched this week’s Sofa Theater feature: Dark Country. Hopefully (or maybe not?) you’ve already seen this movie, because we have to spoil the so-called twist just to discuss this movie on any level. And so we do, as we delve into this wanna-be film noir, with impressive visuals and lots of problems. But can director and star Thomas Jane save this movie?? “The movie in itself wouldn’t work if people were intelligent and made smart moves.”
