Podcast appearances and mentions of james toth

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it's James Toth! I've known James for almost 20 years now (which is hard to get my head around), and in that time he's made a ton of music that's near and dear to me, written a lot of things that have inspired, and generally been a fellow lifer that does work that resonates with me. So, getting him on the show was a no brainer! We talk about his excellent Dunza project before bonding over Crystal Gale and Madonna, Bobby Charles's incredible voice, Pat Methany, Black Flag, The Roches, Randy Newman, Celtic Frost, Rainy Day, and more!Listen to all of James's picks HEREDUNZAJames Toth on PatreonJames on InstagramJames & The GiantsWooden Wand “Harem of the Sundrum & The Witness Figg”Songs of Our Lives is a podcast series hosted by Brad Rose of Foxy Digitalis that explores the music that's made us and left a certain mark.

This week on Transmissions, the return of Leah Toth, aka Amelia Courthouse. She was last here on the podcast in its earlier, more feral incarnation—and by feral we mean "updated with elss regularity"—but back in 2018 she reviewed Shinya Fukumori Trio's incredible ECM release For 2 Akis. We've wanted to have Leah back on ever since, and this now we've got a great excuse to do so: the release of her incredible new album under the Amelia Courthouse name, broken things. Blending Protestant solemnity with dream pop bliss with extended, meditative ambient music and skeletal folk, she's created a work of gentle and imperfect holiness. In her return Transmission, Toth dicusses making gorgeous music with imperfect equipment, rescuing old songs from the archives of her husband and collaborator James Toth aka Wooden Wand, the sound worlds of David Lynch, and the experience of communal worship singing.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 16, 2023 is: cogent • KOH-junt • adjective Cogent is a formal word that describes something that is very clear and easy for the mind to accept and believe, in other words “convincing.” // At the town meeting, citizens presented many cogent arguments in support of building a new senior center. See the entry > Examples: “Though Kraftwerk: Future Music from Germany is not a go-to resource or final word on the subject, it doesn't really aim to be. Rather, it's a cogent and crisp reevaluation of one of the most important pop groups of the century, an erudite closeup on the group's aims, history, and substantial cultural impact.” — James Toth, AquariumDrunkard.com, 6 Mar. 2023 Did you know? A cogent argument is one that really drives its point home because it is clear, coherent, and readily understandable, and perhaps also because of the etymological history of cogent. Cogent comes from the Latin verb cogere, meaning “to drive or force together.” Something described as cogent fuses thoughts and ideas into a meaningful whole that others can readily grasp and accept. A cogent explanation is a convincing one, and cogent analysis has us nodding along because it is clear and pertinent. Cogere was formed in Latin by combining the prefix co- with the verb agere, “to drive, lead, or act,” a root which is also the source of our familiar noun agent. Handily enough, one definition of agent is “a means or instrument by which a guiding intelligence achieves a result.” It follows logically then that cogency is often a worthwhile agent, indeed.

James Toth joins me again (his previous visit was in episode 30) to discuss his new album "James & The Giants". We dig into songwriting, improvisation, touring, and more. We go pretty deep and then wrap with some listening recommendations followed by a taste of the album before I spin a nice mix of Grateful Dead.You can find "James & The Giants", which will be released on June 30 by Kill Rock Stars, via Bandcamp (of course) at WoodenWand.bandcamp.com. It is available digitally as well as on LP.European listeners should check out the One Eleven Heavy tourdates over at One Eleven Heavy's website.The Brokedown Podcast is part of Osiris Media.

In early 2013, Reese Witherspoon seemed destined for Meg Ryan's later career. Both hit it big as smart, sometimes daffy romcom blondes with more going on than initially appeared. But after winning an Oscar for Walk the Line, Reese's movies… hadn't exactly popped. Then something happened. On April 19, 2013, Reese was in the car with her husband, talent agent James Toth, when he was pulled over under suspicion of driving while intoxicated after swerving into the wrong lane. But it was Reese who got arrested for disorderly conduct. They were in Atlanta while Reese filmed The Good Lie (another film that would go on to make no impact at the box office), and James was pulled over just after midnight. They parked in a Walgreens parking lot (because where else is there to park in Atlanta?) when, according to the police report, “Mrs. Witherspoon began to hang out the window and say that she did not believe that I was a real police officer. I told Mrs. Witherspoon to sit on her butt and be quiet.” She didn't sit on her butt and stay quiet. Reese Witherspoon had had enough. And she made national news for it. But what did it mean for her career? Obviously it didn't impede her; she's earned her best reviews in the years since. But how did this moment in an unwanted spotlight shift her priorities? Mark walks the line from Walgreens parking lot to the current empire she's built.
