This week we feature mandolin player Jacob Jolliff and talk to him about his early years in Oregon, his attending the Berklee College of Music, the various bands he has performed with, including Joy Kills Sorrow and Yonder Mountain String Band, and then we talk about him starting his own band. We'll also talk about his band's last two solo albums and his upcoming album with Michael Daves.
Joe K. Walsh is an acclaimed master of bluegrass mandolin and a professor at Berklee College, and in this episode you'll hear about many of his inspiring collaborations including with Darol Anger, Mike Block, Grant Gordy, Alex Hargreaves and Mike Marshall. We are also featuring some music from some of his albums inluding “If Not Now, Who?” We talked about Joe's approach as an educator, the challenges and joys of the touring life, the importance of innovation and taking chances musically. Joe's love of music and the mandolin shines brightly in this candid conversation.

Benjamin Lazar Davis joins the pod to discuss production, songwriting, multi-instrumentalism, cross-cultural collaboration, and the artist's journey. Be sure to stream his new single with Monica Martin "No Need To Reply" when it's released on Friday, Jan 12, 2024! And follow Ben on IG here You can find my music at: https://scoobertdoobert.pizza Benjamin Lazar Davis is an American multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, arranger, composer and record producer. He is a member of several bands, including Okkervil River and Cuddle Magic. Davis attended New England Conservatory of Music. Davis's father Peter started being a musician at the age of five. Peter toured nationally and internationally with several groups, including a brief time with the Mamas and Papas. Like his son, Peter can play a variety of instruments ranging from banjo to clarinet to trombone. Davis's interest in Africa came through his father who spent three years in Malawi as a school music director. Davis has a brother and two sisters. He collaborates with his brother Tim on songs. In 2006 while students at The New England Conservatory of Music Davis, Alec Spiegelman, Christopher McDonald, Kristin Slipp, Cole Kamen-Green, and David Flaherty founded Cuddle Magic in 2006. The band is known for collaborations with many artists including Fred Frith, Ran Blake, the David Wax Museum, Larkin Grimm, Mike & Ruthy (formerly of the Mammals), Phyllis Chen, Joy Kills Sorrow. Individuals from Cuddle Magic have also performed with Bridget Kearney, Railbird, Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds, Baby States, Ronald Reagan, Bird Fly Yellow, Margaret Glaspy, The People's Champs, Girls Guns and Glory, Lake Street Dive, Petal Shield, Split Red, Yapp! and The Superpowers Horns. Davis went to West Africa in 2009 and 2014 to study music. "The first time I went ...., I was studying awa drumming, which is like drum ensemble music for a bunch of different instruments." Davis is referring to a music tradition involving the djembe and dunun style of drums. In his first visit he heard of northern Ghanaian tradition of music called Bawa. In 2014 Davis traveled to Ghana with Bridget Kearney of Lake Street Dive and a former member of Cuddle Magic. They spent just over two weeks in the capital Accra, studying the traditional music of Northwest Ghana with master gyil player Aaron Bebe. They subsequently co-released an EP, BAWA, incorporating gyil music as source material. After leaving Ghana, Davis came down with typhoid and was very sick. When Davis and Joan Wasser (Joan As Police Woman) met in 2013, they found they both had an interest in Central African Republic Pygmy music. Davis co-wrote, recorded, co-produced and toured for the album Let It Be You (Reveal Records 2016) with Wasser. Ben is currently based in LA. Leave the studio to like, let everything happen. Close a door open a window kinda thing. Set Design by Max Horwich Podcast Produced by Beformer --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scoobertdoobert/message

Tom Greenhouse delights us with a prerelease from off of the much anticipated debut LP from The Cool Greenhouse, eponymously titled. Limited to only 150 copies initially, this has since been extended. A run of 300 with further promises of no extension on that. The transparent green vinyl ships with red OBI strip, envelope containing mystery seeds and printed insert. Yep, ours is on order so expect the vinyl to be spinning live on the show early June 2020. However, we've got more than just Tom Greenhouse this week. Tobin is bookending the show with the excellent Joy Kills Sorrow and his usual New Music Shot with Tessa Dixson. One of Richard's old playlists entitled Cowboy Music prompts a memory from Tobin about another classic gunfighter ballad. Marty Robbins sings of his love to the musings of a Mexican guitar and evokes a real image of times gone by. Tobin tells us more about Marty so listen on. We also have the classic reggae track Fisherman from The Congos and of course that unbelievable cover of Lady Gaga's Shallow. Performed Unplugged and Outdoors in Sweden by friends of the show JP Paulsen, Annsofi and Jerry Geraldi. It's another subtle reminder of the talent of this Scandinavian/American trio from Norway.

最近,一则吐槽图书编辑前男友的帖子在网上广为流传,月薪四千、开小号营销自己做的书,到处寄书求书评人写书评……帖子指出了我国出版行业从业者面临的残酷现实。本期节目我们请到两位图书编辑现身说法,他们认为,出版行业的人员流动频繁,不仅仅是因为工资低廉,更重要的是这个行业无法为有做书理想的年轻人提供成就感。而图书编辑的穷困现状,不仅是行业内部的问题,也涉及读者、书评人和文化媒体共同营造的阅读环境的恶化。这是继媒体人007之后,我们为大家送上的又一期职业劝退指南。在节目中,作为十年资深编辑的罗丹妮给出忠告:“如果你热爱阅读,千万不要做编辑,它会毁了你!” 【主持】 黄月(媒体人,界面文化资深编辑) 张之琪(媒体人,新浪微博@Zzzzzhiqi) 【嘉宾】 魏强,磨铁文治图书(新浪微博@文治图书)编辑,《房思琪的初恋乐园》责任编辑,新浪微博@于北啊。 罗丹妮,理想国纪实馆主编。 [04: 50] 2016年,魏强的第一份图书编辑工作月薪四千。 [11: 10] 罗丹妮很珍惜在传统出版社的工作,因为可以观察资深编辑如何工作。 [16: 40] 编辑验证自己选择的周期太长,成本太高,导致人员流动过大。 [19: 10] 出版行业不再能给年轻人提供期待,所以留不住人。 [22: 50] 一本书为什么不好卖?这是多方原因造成的。 [27: 40]《房思琪的初恋乐园》销量和反响远远超出编辑预期。 [35: 20] 近年来国内缺乏关注本土议题的原创类书籍。 [39: 10] 国内读者、出版社和文化媒体对于新人作者很不宽容。 [45: 18] 国外对于新人作者的态度相对友好。 [48: 40] 好书有自己的生命力,能走多远靠作品的魅力。 [51: 10] 整个社会都在求新,导致图书行业的运转周期过快。 [54: 30] 当下的读者失去了独立的选书标准。 [1: 05: 11] 阅读就是一种业余爱好,不要把阅读当成太高尚的事情。 【本期节目中提到的书籍】 《房思琪的初恋乐园》,林奕含 著,磨铁图书·北京联合出版公司,2018年1月。 《扫地出门》,[美]马修·德斯蒙德 著,胡䜣谆、郑焕升 译,理想国·广西师范大学出版社,2018年7月。 《飞行家》,双雪涛 著,理想国·广西师范大学出版社,2017年8月。 《无中生有》,刘天昭 著,理想国·上海三联书店,2018年10月。 《冬泳》,班宇 著,理想国·上海三联书店,2018年11月。 【本期节目使用的音乐】 片头: “Books”, by Joy Kills Sorrow,Darkness Sure Becomes This City,2014. 片尾: “Are We Making Books Better?”,by Adam Cork, 电影《天才捕手》原声。 【与我们互动】 新浪微博@剩余价值SurplusValue

Dupárna si tentokrát zvolila za téma bluegrass. Už bylo načase. Poslechneme si několik zajímavých nových a ještě novějších uskupení. Současný bluegrass je hodně jemný a romantický, ale to neznamená, že by to muzikantům nešlapalo. Mimo jiné zazní The Steel Wheels, Front Country, Joy Kills Sorrow nebo Whiskey Shivers.
We’re feeling a little bit festive, looking forward to some great upcoming concerts, and listening to some great music from this year as it heads to a close!

Joy Kills Sorrow was formed in Boston's fertile folk scene in 2005. Their lineup is pretty standard for a string band - guitar, mandolin, banjo, upright bass and vocals, but they are anything but an old-time string band. They retain the virtuosic tendencies of their bluegrass forefathers, but they are pushing the boundaries of a style not known for its avant-garde aspects. Also akin to the progenitors of bluegrass, their tempos can also set barns on fire, but there is something decidedly modern about the way Joy Kills Sorrow arranges the original songs that fill their two albums. They share more in common with mandolin prodigy, Chris Thile's post-Nickel Creek ensemble, Punch Brothers than they do with Bill Monroe, but they are savvy enough musicians to know that they are standing on the shoulders of giants. Every member of the band is a standout on their respective instrument, and they already have an impressive number of awards to their credit. With the band stacked with so many badass players it would be hard for their music to sound any other way. Their brand new EP, Wide Awake, pushes their unplugged sound farther into some louder and amped up indie rock territory, further expanding their already diverse musical universe.

BILL EVANS is well-known within the bluegrass music community not only as a musician, but also as a teacher, writer and scholar. Bill will be bringing his solo show The Banjo in America to the WoodSongs Stage. Tracing the banjo from its West African roots to the New World, Evans performs musical examples from the 1700's to the present day on a variety of vintage instruments, explaining how the banjo has been at the intersection of African- and Anglo-American musical and cultural exchange for over 250 years. Bill's new CD "In Good Company" features an all-star cast of 26 musicians, including the Infamous Stringdusters, Tim O'Brien, Joy Kills Sorrow, Darol Anger, Mike Marshall, David Grier, Rob Ickes, Stuart Duncan and many, many more.
