Lots of great music came out on May! Let's round' em up! Read the transcript for this here. Album of the Month: Maia Sharp -- Mercy Rising Maia Sharp’s Mercy Rising. You’ll see what I mean when you listen to “You’ll Know Who Knows You.” This is a really sexy song, something that to me has an ineffably queer, nay, lesbian, aesthetic. The whole album is incredible; a sort of Neil Young influence, yes, but so confident and experimental and uniquely Sharp’s. Travis Linville -- “See You Around” (I’m Still Here) (3:41) Johno Roberts -- “Reflections of Me” (Single) (6:58) Maia Sharp -- “You’ll Know Who Knows You” (Mercy Rising) (10:50) Volk -- “I Fed Animals” (Cashville) (14:50) Lindsay Ellyn -- “Pieces of Things” (Queen of Nothing) (19:16) Robert Finley -- “My Story” (Sharecropper’s Son) (23:16) Eddie 9-Volt -- “3 AM in Chicago” (Little Black Flies) (28:17) Next week’s topic: Queer Pride! w/ Adeem the Artist Podcast intro by Alma Contra, music from Two Cow Garage’s “Stars & Gutters” Send me music via SubmitHub!

The geologic record of Earth is an archive of data on the causes and effects of changing climates. As climate changes, it impacts everything from plants and animals to rocks and rivers. The study of ancient climates is paleoclimatology, and it’s important not only for our understanding of climate in the past, but also for teasing out what’s happening with our climate today and what we can expect for the future. In the news: tyrannosaur group, a chomped squid, horned crocs, and night dinosaurs. This episode, we’re joined by Dr. Rachel Lupien!

This week's episode is the LAST episode in this format, where I spin some new tunes that I like. Moving forward, each episode will revolve around a certain theme! Album of the Week: Doc Feldman -- A Healthy Dose of Anxiety The first half of the album is a healthy dose of some anti-anxiety; this album is a bit of a left turn for Doc, veering away from heartland rock and ploughing full-speed ahead into 70s-style Southern rock, like we heard on “Let Me Love You.” But Doc doesn’t make things simple. Even with that easy ridin’ music, these lyrics are gorgeous and thoughtful. Meanwhile, “Heavy Edges,” where the album gets its title from, is an almost chamber pop jeremiad about living in late-stage capitalism: one that would do Two Cow Garage proud. This is on my album of the year list to revisit in December.   Sarah Jarosz -- “Johnny” (World On the Ground) (1:57) Doc Feldman -- “Let Me Love You” (A Healthy Dose of Anxiety)(5:57) Two Cow Garage -- “Death of the Self-Preservation Society” (Death of the Self-Preservation Society) (12:15) Brittany Howard -- “13th Century Metal” (Jaime) (15:44)   Tim Montana -- “River Kids” (Long Shots) (22:51)   Cowboy Mouth -- “Walk Among the Angels” (Word of Mouth) (26:21) Adam Hooks and the Huckleberries -- “Brown County Blues” (So Far Gone) (29:26) Lauren Jenkins -- “Like You Found Me” (Single) (33:44) West of Texas -- “Darlin’ How You’ve Changed” (Heartache, Hangovers, and Honky Tonks) (39:37) Brit Taylor -- “Waking Up Ain’t Easy” (Waking Up Ain’t Easy) (43:14) Veronique Medrano -- “Wasted Days” (Single) (46:35) Darrin Bradbury -- “Deanna, Deanna” (Single) (51:50) Next week’s topic: Anti-Racist Country Music Podcast intro by Alma Contra, music from Two Cow Garage’s “Stars & Gutters” Send me music via SubmitHub!

Read the episode transcript here! Rachel has some big personal news, which should explain why this episode is late! Plus, the best in Americana and queer punk. Album of the Week: Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band -- Dance Songs For Hard Times Anyone familiar with their work knows that the Big Damn Band does nothing but dance songs, but this time around the trio is playing with as much urgency as fun. Regardless of the events of 2020, there's always hard times for people somewhere, and there've been plenty of hard times since 2016. The reverend and his revelers take the blues to an elemental level, one where venting about difficulties takes as much pride of place as having fun. Rev. Peyton’s Big Damn Band -- “Ways and Means” (Dance Songs for Hard Times) (3:01) DL Rossi -- “Whiskey” (Lonesome Kind) (6:39) Under the Rocks -- “Palm of Your Hand” (Single) (10:17) Veronique Medrano -- “Wasted Days” (Single) (16:49)  Brightwire -- “Tears Through the Sunshine” (20:41)  Edwin -- “Face in Chrome” (West) (23:53) Lande Hekt -- “December” (Going to Hell) (28:39) Blowboater - "clever weather" (Blowboater) (31:37) Max and the Martians -- “Death Dance” (All The Same) (35:56) Jess McIntosh and Aaron Smith -- “Dinah” (Jess McIntiosh and Aaron Smith) (40:15) Next Week’s Topic: Final Grab-Bag!

It’s episode 165 of Adobe & Teardrops! Thanks for sticking with me!   Well, everything is coming up Rachel this week. I’ve been on spring break. I joined a fantasy baseball league. I joined a queer softball league. Opening day is in less than an hour as I record this. We might be moving into a 2-bedroom apartment in the same building. Oh yeah -- things are good. Also, an interview with Hey, King!   Album of the Week: Hope Dunbar -- Sweetheartland   Hope Dunbar’s Sweetheartland. This is the kind of music I’ve been looking for since I started Adobe & Teardrops. Dunbar has an awesome heartland rock sound while staying true to herself, something that, frankly, I haven’t seen many women who go for that sound really succeed at. She’s a great storyteller, which we’ll hear on “What Were You Thinking,” and can really pull out the stops with “Evacuate,” which Patreon subscribers will hear. Elizabeth King -- “Living in the Last Days” (Living in the Last Days) (2:46) Cristina Vane -- “Blueberry Hill” (Nowhere Sounds Lovely) (5:55) Kai Mata -- “Wine” (Single) (9:55) Henry Conlon -- “Lucy” (Single) (13:59) Valerie June -- “Stay” (The Moon and the Stars: Prescriptions for Dreamers) (19:00) Hope Dunbar -- “What Were You Thinking” (Sweetheartland) (22:01) Scott Making Cents -- “Profile Picture” (Dog EP) (25:28) Andrew Waite -- “Ain’t Goin’ Out Like That” (Single) (28:55) al Riggs -- “Ragged But Right” (I Got A Big Electric Fan To Keep Me Cool While I Sleep) (33:20) Amina Shareef Ali -- “Honest Song” (In The Dark (Awake Of Course)) (36:33) The Barker Brothers -- “Thinkin’ June” (Single) (39:41) Claire Kelly -- “The Restless and the Reckless” (The Scenic Route) (42:39) Hey, King! -- Interview and “Half Alive.” (Read the rest of the interview here.)

From now on, you can read the a transcript of the podcast on Adobe & Teardrops.    My computer decided to pick a fight with me, so this one is super late and I won’t be doing an extended cut for Patreon subscribers cuz I just want to get this done. Sorry about that.   Album of the Week   Miko Marks’ Our Country is truly a testament to what country music can sound like when we expand our definitions of it. Spoiler alert: it’s so much better. This album came to Marks in a dream several years after she gave up on Nashville when it pushed her out. You can read my interview with her by clicking on the link in the show notes or in the transcript. Our Country is a tour de force of classic country, soul, and their meeting place. We’ll begin with the first track off the album, “Ancestors.”   (1:15) Karen and the Sorrows -- “Walk Through the Desert” (The Narrow Place) (6:05) Sunny War -- “Like Nina” (Simple Syrup) (10:34) Esther Rose -- “Keeps Me Running” (How Many Times) (14:31) The Wanted -- “I Guess” (Strange Flight) (19:39) Miko Marks -- “Ancestors”(Our Country) (24:08) Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal -- “Changing” (Natural Born Hustler) (28:04) ZhanXG -- “Jazzy With Your Coffee” (Single)  (32:52) Kris Angelis -- “Meet You In Our Dreams” (Single)  (37:14) The Armadillo Paradox -- “Eyes Like Stars” (Out of Gas in Oil Country)  (40:24) Chevel Shepherd -- “Everybody’s Got a Story” (Everybody’s Got a Story) (43:13) Dave Wilbert -- “It’s All Yours” (Single)  (46:00) One Way Traffic -- “Good Thing” (Single) (51:24) DADA GAUGIN -- “Haru no Hi” (Single)   Podcast intro by Alma Contra, music from Two Cow Garage’s “Stars & Gutters” Send me music via SubmitHub!

For a complete transcript of this episode, click here! New website, who dis? Adobe & Teardrops condemns the violence against AAPI women this past week. I played a set of AAPI Americana artists in solidarity, and to remind us that this impacts the Americana world as well. Album of the Week: Melissa Carper -- Daddy's Country Gold I also wrote this up in No Depression. I can’t say enough that Melissa Carper is so freakin smart. Daddy’s Country Gold is vintage-style excellence, but it also subverts classic country music and insist on adding a queer presence there. As we’ll see on “Makin’ Memories,” a lot of this album is about questioning the past, and what really happened, and maybe seeing new things in it that we didn’t before. Gabe Lee -- “Ol’ Smokey (Reimagined)” (Single) (2:49) Mercy Bell -- “Black Dress” (All Good Cowboys) (6:40) Amina Shareef Ali -- “Farewell to My Man” (In the Dark (Awake of Course)) (11:26) Morgan Wade -- “Other Side” (16:26) (Reckless) Rob Leines -- “Saturday Night” (19:35) (Blood, Sweat, and Beer) Royal Horses -- “Time Wounds All Heals” (Single) (24:10) Sam C. Jones -- “Born to Love You” (Single) (27:44) Melissa Carper -- “Makin’ Memories” (31:56) (Daddy’s Country Gold) Mandy Rowden -- “Ghosts on the Arkansas” (35:48) (Parachute) The Heels -- “High Heels On” (Single) (40:36) Deadass Dobro -- “Through the Night” (Single) (43:23) Schmekel -- “FTM at the DMV”(48:54) (The Whale That Ate Jonah) Janet Simpson -- “Nashville Girls” (50:11) (Safe Distance) Samhain -- “Let the Horses Run” (Single) (53:07) Ontarians -- “No Regrets” (The Greatest Short Story Never Told) (57:22) Yasmin Williams -- “Adrift (ft. Taryn Wood)” (Urban Driftwood) (1:01:54)  Podcast intro by Alma Contra, music from Two Cow Garage’s “Stars & Gutters” Send me music via SubmitHub! Send me money via Ko-fi or Patreon.

 I won the Self-Made Indie Podcaster Award for Best Female Host and Best Music Podcast! Thank you so much!!! I was super busy this week what with applying to grad school and learning how to be a social animal again! This week has some awesome music, so let’s get into it!   Album of the Week: Semler -- Preacher’s Kid   I don’t have Grace Baldridge’s experience of growing up queer and Evangelical, but you don’t need to be Christian to have shame around being queer. Before I get into the album, I do want to point out that Baldridge pulled a Lil Nas X and listed this album under Christian music -- after all, it is about their experience with the religion. And it’s music. And it has since shot up to #1 of the Apple Music Christian charts. Maybe it’s Baldridge’s gravelly voice; maybe it’s the way they expertly intertwine their experiences of pain, humor, awkwardness, and empowerment. Whatever your background, this is an album that gently reminds you of the queer shame you felt going up, that maybe you still haven’t abandoned, and celebrates with righteous joy that we made it through. Vivian Leva & Riley Calcagno -- “Biding All My Time” (Vivian Leva & Riley Calcagno) Ontarians -- “No Regrets” (The Greatest Short Story Never Told) Rosie Cima & What She Dreamed -- “Stuck” (Realm of the Warring Gods) Dirty Bird -- “Thunder Don’t Run” (For the Time Being) Mac Leaphart -- “That Train” (Music City Joke) Semler -- “Jesus From Texas” (Preacher’s Kid) The Octobers -- “Rip Van Winkle” (Single) Fee Doyle -- “My Previous Life” (Trail Markers) Lainey Wilson -- “Neon Diamonds” (Sayin’ What I’m Thinkin’) Oh Susannah -- “Pretty Blue Eyes” (Soon the Birds) Bill Mallonee -- “Everybody Does (A Clamoring of Ghosts) Adeem the Artist -- “I Never Came Out” (Cast Iron Pansexual) Clark Naito -- “Pen Ken Pan” (Single) Podcast intro by Alma Contra, music from Two Cow Garage’s “Stars & Gutters”   Send me music via SubmitHub!

Arr, matey! Sling some skilly’n’duff and grab a tankard of October Ale, because this episode features a sea shanty by Brian Jacques, the author of my beloved Redwall books. Which, by the way, Rosa and I are going to make a podcast about it.   Also, some of the best new Americana out this week!   Album of the Week: Charles Ellsworth -- Honeysuckle Summer     Ellsworth’s music has always had an excellent Americana sensibility, but in the past it has ranged from humorous to straight-ahead spleen. On Honeysuckle Summer, he cuts to his own core with some of the most honest and personal songs I’ve heard from him, with beautiful storytelling that really did make my heart ache.“Blood in the Halls” is easily one of the best songs about gun control I’ve heard while making this blog. The Liverpool Fisherman -- “Yate’s White’s Blues” (Swallow the Anchor) Kaiti Jones -- “Gettin’ Around To It” (Tossed) Charles Ellsworth -- “Gripping Onto Water” (Honeysuckle Summer) The Prairie States -- “High That I’m Riding” (Single) Amythyst Kiah -- “Black Myself” (Single) Pressgang Mutiny -- “Stormalong John” (Across the Western Ocean) Adeem the Artist -- “I Never Came Out” (Cast Iron Pansexual) Maddisun -- “Meant to Be” (Single) Eagle Rock Gospel Singers -- “Willfully Blind” (I Will Rise) Brittney Spencer -- “Thoughts and Prayers” (Compassion EP) Elizabeth & The Catapult -- “the muse” (sincerely, e) Hurray For the Riff Raff -- “Crash on the Highway” (Small Town Heroes) Henriette -- “never go back” (Single) Terry Blade -- “Ms. Mizell” (Single) Podcast intro by Alma Contra, music from Two Cow Garage’s “Stars & Gutters”   Send me music via SubmitHub!

Better late than never!!! Hey! Vote for me in the Self Made Indie Podcast Awards for Best Music Podcast, Best Female Host, and Best Patreon here! Voting ends on 2/28!   Album of the Week: Ben Trickey -- We Are Not Lucky We Are Blessed   Ben Trickey’s newest album, We Are Not Lucky We Are Blessed, is his finest effort to date. It’s making me do things I haven’t for a long time: feel things, for example. But, most importantly, it made me feel sad when it ended because I wanted more. Trickey sings and writes with a prophetic voice reminiscent of Bill Mallonee of the Vigilantes of Love. While I feature some of the quieter songs on the podcast, Trickey can fill a stadium with his artful soundscapes, the soundtrack to despair, dread, and, in spite of it all, hope.   Huge thanks to Podcorn for sponsoring this episode.

I made some found poems out of the song titles! Hope you enjoy! Album of the Week: Casper Allen -- The Magnolia Sessions Casper Allen's got the perfect singing voice -- and his writing and playing aren't too far behind. This live recording, including some older songs and new songs that are being prepped for his solo debut, finds Allen at his rawest and most relaxed. We can hear him chatting with his girlfriend and the folks from Anti-Corporate Records who were manning the recording. In fact, it's this session that inspired the series.

It's the February 12th episode of this here thing, but we're not gonna do Valentine's Day. Bleh.   Speaking of "bleh," why are people listing Morgan Wallen as a musical influence after this past week? You don't realize what that says about you? Or maybe you do... Also, Bella is a cuddle pirate.   Album of the Week: The Barlow -- The Horseshoe Lounge   This album is perfect. I know that's not an exciting thing for a music writer to say but, really, I wouldn't change a note on here. The Barlow have pitch-perfect lyrics: stories of ordinary people that are so carefully told, and with so much empathy, that you will Feel Things. But the band also kicks in with just the perfect mix of distortion and steel guitars to make it feel like a party, or that you're hanging out at the eponymous Horseshoe Lounge. Goodness knows, we all need things to help us feel like we're having a night out with our favorite local band, and The Horseshoe Lounge takes me there.   Huge thanks to Podcorn for sponsoring this episode.

 Rachel is snow-blind and annoyed! So only one thing is new. But also, there’s lots of jazz, country, and rock in this week’s episode -- just a fun smorgasbord of everything! Album of the Week: Mary Halvorson -- Code Girl   I don’t know enough about jazz to say anything educated about this album. But from the perspective of someone who’s into guitar-based music, Halvorson is incredible. She can shred as hard as any hair metal band, but chooses her moments of maximalism carefully. Code Girl is a brief visit into a universe with epic vistas and narrow windows. And if you’ve been listening to rock’n’roll for any period of time, you’ll appreciate a jazz take on the old “I’m sick of touring” song.   While you’re here, check out this list of Caribbean country music from Holler.   Huge thanks to Podcorn for sponsoring this episode.

In this “Erin's Recipe Card” episode, the Lutheran Ladies take part in their first-ever Iron Ladle Challenge, as they each present a festive seasonal recipe showcasing an assigned ingredient — in this case: cranberries. Which recipe will be your favorite? Will you favor Erin's super simple sugared cranberry hors d'oeuvres? Rachel's cranberry kale salad? Sarah's cranberry thumbprint cookies? Bri's cranberry ginger (AKA “cringer”) mocktail? Or will you avoid choosing a favorite and simply make them all in one crantastic feast? Whatever path you pick, there are no losers in this challenge. Find Rachel's article “Hot Dish Heaven” (in which her favorite kale salad is prominently featured) in the archives of The Lutheran Witness. Sugared Cranberries Coat raw cranberries in simple syrup, let dry so they're sticky, and then roll in sugar. That's it. So easy. Rachel's Cranberry Kale Salad Remove stems and tear one bunch of kale (about 5 good sized leaves) into a medium-to-large salad bowl. Massage the kale with 1 T olive oil and set aside. In a jelly jar, combine: 1-2 T olive oil 2 T balsamic vinegar 1 tsp. honey ½ tsp. stone ground mustard Dash salt + fresh cracked black pepper to taste Shake in lidded jar to combine, drizzle over kale, and toss with tongs till evenly coated. Top with dried cranberries, crumbled feta cheese, roasted salted sunflower kernels, and toasted almonds. Cranberry Almond Flour Thumbprint Cookies Adapted from The Simple Veganista simple-veganista.com/almond-flour-thumbprint-cookies Ingredients 2 cups almond flour (Bob's Red Mill Fine AF) pinch of salt ¼ cup honey (original recipe calls for pure maple syrup) ¼ cup light flavored olive oil 2 teaspoons vanilla extract ⅓ cup slivered almonds, crushed or chopped (optional) 3 tablespoons homemade cranberry jam, divided (original recipe calls for triple berry chia seed jam) Cranberry jam: 12oz fresh cranberries, 3/4 cup water, 3/4 cup honey. Mix water and cranberries over medium high heat until cranberries begin to pop. Stir in honey and reduce heat to medium low. Stir frequently until all cranberries are popped. Remove from heat and let cool. Jam will thicken as it cools. Refrigerate what you don't eat right away. Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon mat. Make the dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey/maple syrup, olive oil and vanilla. Add the almond flour and salt, mix well until the mixture forms a soft dough consistency. Almonds: Place the crushed almonds in a small bowl, set aside. Shape the cookies: Roll dough into 1 inch balls (I used a 1 tablespoon measuring scoop, scooping up rounded tablespoons full of dough). Roll the dough balls in the crushed almonds, and place on a rimmed baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Add the jam: Using your thumb or the back of ½ teaspoon measuring spoon, make an indent in the center of each cookie. Pinch together any large cracks around the sides of each cookie. Fill the indent with ½ teaspoon of jam. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 10 – 15 minutes, oven may vary (see notes). Once done, the cookies will be soft and harden as they cool. Makes 16 – 18 cookies Store: Store loosely covered on the counter for up to 3 – 4 days. You can also keep them in an airtight container, just note they will soften a bit but will still be chewy. Or keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for 7 – 10 days. To freeze, let cool and store in freezer safe containers with parchment paper between each layer, will keep for to 2 months. Notes Oil: This would be great with a lemon flavored olive oil. Coconut oil would also be great, just be sure it's softened, or in liquid state, before using. Nuts: Change up the nuts using your favorite or what you have on hand. Crushed pistachios, pecans, or walnuts would all work well. Flavors: Add ½ teaspoon of cinnamon for a nice layer of flavor. Or try adding ½ teaspoon dried rosemary that's been finely chopped. As mentioned above, use lemon olive oil, plus a little lemon zest. Oven Time: Baking times may be vary since ovens are different. I baked all my batches for the full 15 minutes and they were perfect. Some may find 10 minutes is best, as noted in the comments. Use your best judgement. The Very Merry Cran-Ginger Mocktail (a.k.a. THE CRINGER) Adapted from The Speckled Palate: thespeckledpalate.com/sparkling-ginger-cranberry-mocktail 2 tbsp. turbinado sugar (“in the raw”) The juice of 1 orange + 1 tsp. of its zest (any variety) 4 oz. ginger beer 2 oz. unsweetened cranberry juice Garnishes: pomegranate seeds, orange slices, starfruit slices, sugared cranberries On a small plate or tea saucer, combine sugar and orange zest; incorporate the orange zest throughout. Onto another small plate or tea saucer, pour *some* of the orange juice — just enough to cover the surface of the plate. Place your serving glass in the plate of juice, rim side down. Transfer your glass to the plate of sugar, again rim side down. Turn the glass and move it around the plate, evenly coating the rim. In a separate container, combine ginger beer and cranberry juice and lightly stir. If you prefer a less intense drink, add some of the reserved orange juice to the mixture before stirring. Serve in the sugar-rimmed glass over ice and garnish. Enjoy! Congratulations, you are fancy!!
