Podcasts about freak folk

Da sind wir wieder und wir hüpfen wieder frohgemut durch die musikalischen Landschaften. Wir beginnen mit 'End of the Middle' von Richard Dawson, der kommt aus UK und macht Avantgarde Folk oder Freak Folk, wie manche sagen, und machen weiter mit 'Tsunami Sea' von Spirit Box, da wird's dann mal wieder metalig. Außerdem überlegen wir uns, was wir mit der Infrastruktur hier in D machen würden, hätten wir nur genügend Geld. Zu guter Letzt gibt's dann noch ein Porter von der Bosch Brauerei aus Bad Laasphe.

Rhode Island songwriter John Faraone joins the show! Matt opens with a segment dedication to one of his top Nixon-rock subgenres - "Wicker Man" style UK folk. Thomas does a deep-dive into the insane rock stylings of John Cale.

Im Sommer geht's im FM4 Musikpodcast um eine grundessenzielle Frage: Was ist dein Lieblingsalbum? Heute erzählt uns Michaela Pichler von ihrem Lieblingsalbum: "Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon" von Devendra Banhart. Was ist das, was soll das, was ist Freak Folk und soll man sich das heutzutage noch anhören? Finden wir alles im Musikpodcast raus. Sendungshinweis: Generation Sound - der FM4 Musikpodcast.

Ryan Miller and Lillian MacNamara—both experienced brewers and cofounders of Freak Folk Bier (https://www.freakfolkbier.com)—are partners in business and life, making the brewery, as Miller says, “a love story interwoven with brewing.” Both share a love of saison, and Freak Folk began with a focus on special-release saisons that has since expanded into a broad selection of styles to fill the tap lines of their Waterbury, Vermont taproom. But even the other styles they brew exhibit the same kind of delicate balance and nuanced structure that they honed in saison experimentation. In this episode, Miller discusses both their approach to saison and hazy IPA, touching on: - Building and maintaining mixed cultures - Brewing attenuated saison with a single infusion mash and controlled primary and secondary fermentations - Controlling acidity in saison through the mash - Using unusual ingredients in unusual ways in saison - Building a compelling grain bill in hazy IPA - Blending base malts for the right balance of flavor and color - Copitching yeast strains - Adjusting gravity based on ABV - Using advanced hop products And more.

Jukebox, bunte Klamotten, Biker, Discokugel. ## Radio Show #22: Unknown & Underrated Gems of Music History, Vol. 2: Psychedelic Folk Pt. I (1969-71) "Unknown & Underrated Gems of Music History" ist ein neues Konzept für etwas mehr als 10 neue Folgen der Rum 'n' Coconutwater Radioshow. Basierend auf meinem persönlichen Archiv aller gehörter Alben der letzten 15 Jahre, hat sich eine Liste mit knapp 50 Veröffentlichungen ergeben, die unbekannt und von mir mit 100% bewertet wurden. Verschiedenste Musikrichtungen befinden sich in dieser Schatztruhe mit handverlesenen Perlen. Den Start in Volume 1 macht "British Folk & Co.", wohingegen es die nächsten Volumes weitergeht mit Sounds aus den Bereichen Psychedelic Folk, Folk/Songwriter, Exotica und Psychedelic Rock/Pop. Thematisch zusammengefasst stelle ich euch auch heute wieder Songs aus drei verschiedenen Alben vor. Diesmal aus dem Spektrum des Psychedelic Folk. Da diese Musikrichtung zu meinen Favoriten zählt, ist auch entsprechend viel Material vorhanden, das ich mit euch teilen werde. Aus diesem Grund ist die heutige Folge auch Teil 1 von insgesamt 3 Teilen zum Thema Psychedelic Folk aus der Liste "Unknown & Underrated Gems of Music History". Ich erzähle erstmal einige ganze Menge über diverseste Psychedelic Folk Subgenrés und Crossovers, wie Acid Folk, Freak Folk, Drone, Neo-Folk, Pagan Folk, New Weird America, Progressive Folk, Gentle Folk und Xian Folk. Danach komme ich zu den drei Alben, ihrer Geschichte und allem anderen, was es wissenswertes dazu zu sagen gibt und mir durch den Kopf geistert. Diese sind Donovan's "HMS Donovan" Album von 1971, das gleichnamige album der Band "The Sun Also Rises" von 1970, und zu guter Letzt die selbstbetitelte 1969er-Scheibe des New Yorker Klangkollektivs "Children of One". 1. Donovan - Lost Time 2. Donovan - Little White Road 3. Donovan - Song Of Wandering Aengus 4. Donovan - Quuen Mab 5. The Sun Also Rises - Until I Do 6. The Sun Also Rises - Wizard Shep 7. The Sun Also Rises - Death 8. Children of One - Spheres 9. Children of One - Eastern Cloth # Rum 'n' Coconutwater Show Jukebox, bunte Klamotten, Biker, Discokugel. Die Liebe für "Old Time Music" der 50er bis 80er Jahre ist das entscheidende Verbindungsglied und der Kompass, der euch durch die »Rum 'n' Coconutwater« Radioshow führt. Eine musikhistorische Enteckungsreise durch die Dekaden von Rock'n'Roll bis Punk, von Folk bis Experimental, von Jazz bis Disco Pop... Interessantes Backgroundwissen aus dem "Evolution Of Genré" Sammelsurium mit den feinsten handverlesenen Sounds. * http://www.rum-n-coconutwater.com

Neste episódio Vinicius Cabral investiga o rótulo Freak Folk. Será que trata-se de um gênero ou é apenas mais um modismo sem sentido? Uma coisa nova dos anos 2000, ou simplesmente um nome diferente para o bom e velho rock alternativo feito na primeira década do século? Essa e outras questões são discutidas neste episódio que, com certeza, trará um monte de bandas obscuras e interessantes para se desvendar. O Raio X é um formato aqui do Silêncio no Estúdio, onde um dos nossos integrantes faz um episódio mais curto para falar de um disco, história, banda ou curiosidade.

We thought this week it would be super fun to talk about some of the Hipster subcultures and the trends behind them. Specifically the Scenesters, Electroclash, Ye Oldes, DIY and Freak Folk. We also have some great messages from Dani and Kristen!

I welcome back Zach Herbert of St. Terrible for a deeper dive into conversation of a more personal nature. We talk about the death of a friend of his from years ago... how that death has influenced his art, his life, his growth and learning. We talk about the grieving process and what grief offers us when we engage in it fully. We also speak to the nature of vulnerability and the difficult nature of balancing how and what to share as artists - in a public vs private setting. How much do I want to share, and for whose benefit? Lastly, we ask the question:If you knew that when you died, all the art you created were to disappear with you... would you still create it?

Four songs from ultra prolific singer-songwriter, Paleo, recorded in Oct 2008.

Ramblin' Man....  Happy Birthday.Listening to music makes me happy in some ways. Look, here I am listening to ... .. . good lord: Bauhaus of all things.... and I'm not in a bad mood. I actually remember Seattle '99, a studio with 5 friends. One of whom, Tom (mother' stills owes me for the phone bill) shooting coke and listening to this proto-industrial rumble. Good Times. If music was invented today they'd make it illegal. Music is an altered state in the same way that a deep conversation is mind fuck. I hear the Special's "Ghost Town" and I remember that roadtrip where I totally faked fanhood cause I hoped to get laid.How much of my current list is based off that premise? Shit, I may not be the best with the ladies, but all of them have turned me on to music which is in-arguably essential. The Pixies, The Talking Heads, Paul Oakenfold, Neutral Milk Hotel .. . I should make a list of the the sounds I got turned on to and who did it too me. Honestly, it would be a mixed bag, I should shelve that for a bit I guess.I'm pretty mixed up about all this stuff actually. Torn between celebrating and crying have I been reduced to that?  I actually started to deal with deep buried emotional pain earlier this week, I might be getting to the point of maturity where I can spout masturbatory monologues of how life done me wrong and not actually be sarcastic anymore. Ah shit! Another round! Round the sun - open the bottle and let us listen to this music that I like ... . . I may never be Lester Bangs, I may yet be E. O. Wilson though. Fuck this life is getting on without me. I better lower that bar; I may never be myself but at least I won't be my dad. Danbert Nobacon - Nixon is my dentist I got my Obama shirt in the mail today. I do believe it is an omen. Got the Hope? Hank Williams III - Pills I TookThis was suggested by a certain "Mike Dunn". no no not the track - which is my own twisted sensibilty but the artist. Google on that man and I do hope you see me.BUKE & GASS - Rum for You (Edit)No thanks I'll have the wine.They Might Be Giants - The Shadow GovernmentGot their show at the Le Puisson Rouge. Man brings tears to my eyes.Cult of Sue Todd - Burn TampaTHE STAND OUT track - seriously not only do I find this in my heavy rotation but I also find myself absolutely floored over my own kick ass obscurity. Charlie Haden - Song Of The United FrontNow this cat is cutting country tracks now a days and that is fine for what it's worth. But he cut his teeth with the Liberation Music Orchestra and that is bonus in my book. Erin McKeown - BlackbirdsAlso a suggestion from Mike - now who would have thought that in my yearly return to Missoula the only hombre with an updated playlist of suggestions is a Freak Folk fan?Honest I didn't plan this. Caesars - Jerk It OutOf no bearing to this track, which is oversaturated 60's beach blanket bingo revivalism and nothing more, I must say that while in Missoula I had the chance to play a Dungeons and Dragons game with a group of Elementary Schoolers (let us just ball park the age as an average of 7) ... Carla Bruni - Those Dancing Days Are GoneNow that was exhausting and stupifiyng, good kids but they have the attention span of the cable news cycle. Now in returning to Brooklyn I may actually have the chance to play some 3.5 D&D with some local collegiate geeks. Feist - 1, 2, 3, 4If it happens it will be tough cause I know how distractions can do this to me where I lose focus on the important things and then wham 5 years later I'm wondering why I have a degree in Computer Science.Howard Hello - TelevisionWhich gets me thinking ... just how many CIS kids are where they are because of porn? I'm not saying that I wound up with this because of a brain wired in a pubescant formulation of priorities.. . . I'm just wondering. . . I don't see why it need be about me, right?Jeffery Lewis - The Last Time I Did Acid I Went InsaneWell sure ... yes yes that is the other half of the equation about how I got here, yes. Koufax - AnyMomentNowSee the important thing to remember is that is can all turn around right? That is why I've been working hard and going to school. To make this existence not merely about my mistakes but about my successes. The LK - Private Life of a CatI really think that is all I have to say about this - I mean music is important to me and to my context as a person but this is getting ridiculous I'm just wasting time and space writing down my string of consciousness figuring out the set list.Mickey Hart, Zakir Hussain, Sikiru Adepoju & Giovanni Hidalgo- Dances With WoodAlright alright alright - this is about the music then not about me or some greater 'truth' about myself. Coincedentally this sounds like trance made via organic instruments.... hmmm.Isobell Campbell and Mark Lanegan - Ramblin ManNow do you see what a fine mess this is? I was supposed to be all somber when I was introducing this song. it is supposed to be a reflective consideration of my own compulsion to flee the emotional turmoils of my life -and how they are bound up in other people. How I both want to please BPA - Toejamthem so they don't leave me and also run from them so that I don't have to be responsible for them.Legendary Pink Dots - Torchsongbut really it is just a song, and it doesn't mean anything .. . and I'm just feeling messed up because of midterms and work and how my mom is doing ... she sasy that the physical therapy is coming along pretty ell and she may qualify to retire early. Which is kind of like happiness right?Pernice Brothers - Discover A Lovelier YouBut, actually, things are good. I mean sure they could be better, but that is always the case. If you take a large enough sample of the universe you find out that there is nothing permanent nor certain - and yet we still, by chance, exist. . . Talking Heads - Once In A LifetimeAnd along with us are other chances and people and purposes. And sometimes you find yourself in college and sometimes you find yourself selling your plasma to the Portland blood bank to make rent. The Be Good Tanyas-The Littlest Birds Is anything a surprise? Have I finally quit being crazy? Was all the fun I had when young just a fluke of chemicals and not actually an appreciation of Brooklyn Rider - Crosstownthe world as it really is? Yeah, actually I can pretty much believe that to be the case. I'd like to think that it is entertaining to third parties if I leave out the details that happened in between.Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead Certainly it wasn't all just studio apartements and drugs? No. It was the kafkaesque moments of being escourted out of Amazon.com because after two weeks of coming to work and getting paid they realized I wasn't in their HR system. The Velvet Underground - Rock & RollIt was being fired from KFC for building a snowman, on off hours, in their parking lot ... The Dandy Warhols - Easythough admiteddly when it got smashed by that SUV and I threw the disembodied head at the windshield and it turned out to be the regional manager I couldn't particularly blame the store manager for his decision. Really, imagine his position.Ezra Furman - We Should FightBut that is what makes it all the more astonishing! Things have changed - I've changed! This summer I was the lab assistant to a immersive molecular biology course . ..  The Slits - Ping Pong Affairexcept it was at a community college.Paul Oakenfold - Ready Steady GoIs this it a string of anecdotes and misremembered memories? Didn't I use to have greater dreams? Do I taste the vomit of my body rebelling or is it the bile of my soul dying? The Clash - Capital Air with GinsbergIs that enough self important omphalous gazing or what? Do I have to have god damn soliquiy with cabeza here to get a MacArthur? Wynton Marsalis Septet-Juba And A O'Brown SquawThis music list is as authentically an accurate representation of my self as one can expect in our modern age. Or at least can be expected from me. image from: Berkely Breathed, "Opus" - hey I'm sure you get this all the time Mr. Breathed, but I really was influenced by your stuff when I was young and I've found it to be a well spring of wisdom throughout my life.note to future self, you once lived with a girl, and every morning you woke up to find flowers at the foot of the bed. each of you thought the other had put them there. It turned out to be the cat though. POSTSCRIPT: The birthday day itself was absolutely incredible featuring Central Park, Thai Food, Tequila shoots and a Mathematical based tattoo from Greenwich village, a walk in on Banksy's Pet Store, a dine and dash of margaritas and churros, a creepy deep house experience at club LOVE, and then the two hour train ride. Top it all off with a roll out of bed and go to morning Sunday class moment. Thanks for everything Babe. I guess I was just having a stupid moment there taking life seriously.
