Make of the turtle what you will
Turtle=old to me, so here is the oldest photographic (videographic?) evidence I have of attending a show! I used to be incredibly anti-camera at shows, even for the quickest photo, but after 5? maybe 6? shows I loosened up. [Haw River Ballroom, Saxapahaw, NC, 12/06/19]

Iron and Wine — Who Can See Forever Soundtrack (Sub Pop)
youtube
This double LP refracts and reimagines Iron & Wine’s best-known songs with full, nearly orchestral arrangements realized in the warmth and immediacy of live performance. It’s a superb recap of Sam Beam’s artistic arc so far, but this is much more than a retrospective. Even if you’re a long-time fan, someone who knows all the words, some of these songs will hit differently. Their austere, articulate contours take on new resonance with lavish swoops of strings. Their familiar words and hooks and licks are jarred into new patterns by the improvisatory agility of Beam’s supporting cast.
Most of these songs were recorded in a single concert, held at Saxapahaw, North Carolina’s Haw River Ballroom. The material was intended, originally, for a concert film directed by Josh Sliffe; over time, the director expanded his project to include non-performance footage, but not because the music couldn’t carry things. It is very, very strong.
The set list includes most of Iron and Wine’s best known songs. It opens with a lengthy, incandescent version of “The Trapeze Swinger,” Beam’s murmurous voice framed by pizzicato, pointillist strings as he muses on the graffiti at the pearly gates. It’s a song that does what Beam does best, linking the natural, even the mundane to spiritual revelation, through spare, evocative lines, and it gains a lot from the full, but disciplined backing music. The swell into the chorus fairly lifts you off your feet.
The video showcases “Thomas County Law,” a cut from the fairly recent Beast Epic, a low-slung mesh of piano, syncopated, hand-struck percussion and stately country melody, whose original version can slip into the background. And yet here, it leaps out of the speaker, urgent and alive, the curve of its melody inevitable, exactly right and spiritually reassuring.
The band includes Fiona Apple and Soul Coughing bassist Sebastian Steinberg, drummer Beth Goodfellow, cellist Teddy Rankin-Parker and keyboard player Eliza Hardy-Jones. They’re all very capable players on their own terms, and they had been touring together for a while when they made this record. You can hear the freedom and intuitiveness of their interplay throughout, and once in a while, on cuts like “Last Night” and “Monkeys Uptown,” they get a chance to go right out to the edge. An extended string improv session opens “Last Night.” It resolves into a string bass and percussion cakewalk, all skeletal strut and junkyard swagger under Beam’s fluttering, lyrical voice. “Monkeys Uptown” deconstructs the funk on what sounds like a box drum, lets loose big sliding bloops of bass sound, before settling into a swamp funk groove.
Mostly, though, these cuts take songs that you probably already know and deliver them slightly transformed by time and personnel and the live setting. They’re old friends, a little older, a little shaggier, but still magic: “Wolves (Song of the Shepherd’s Dog),” “About a Bruise” and “Dearest Forsaken.” If you ever loved them, you should hear them like this, too.

I had two messages come in about Gretna Green after I mentioned it in episode #671.
Shel O'Toole wrote: "Hi Marc, It was interesting to hear you refer to Gretna Green. My knowledge of it was as a place people eloped to. A quick search of Google confirmed my memories. It was interesting to discover Gretna is a town built during World War 1.
The village of Gretna Green is still thriving and it sounds like a great place to visit. It is certainly on my list of places to visit should I get to fulfill my dream of going to Scotland.
I discovered in the past couple of years my maternal grandmother’s family is from Ayrshire in Scotland. They came from a village called Coylton.
I look forward to hearing about your whiskey tour and seeing photos of Scotland.
I’m really enjoying today’s show #671
Thanks for all the great music Marc.
Sliãnte"
Wayne Myers wrote: "Hey Marc, I was listening to episode 671 while playing soccer today and heard you mention the Scottish village of Gretna Green. There is a fantasy author named Linzi Day who lives there and has her book series set there. I know she is amenable to answering questions, because she answered mine.
Her book series is The Midlife Recorder series, which starts with Midlife in Gretna Green. Love the show. Slainte."
Mary Lynn Deal sent a message on Patreon: "Hi Marc, I'm doing some 3d printing and office work at home while listening today. Still enjoying every minute. Have a wonderful day, Slainte,"
Rod Nevin commented on Patreon: "Lovely collection of music! By the way Marc, I have to tell you because I know you would want to know, the tune title for Arise & Go has “Strathspeys” and reels, and the correct pronunciation for strathspey is “strath’spay” … last syllable being what Bob Barker always reminded us to do our pets. 😎"

Los Angeles, CA -- Jessica Pratt will be releasing her new album Here In The Pitch on May 3 via Mexican Summer. Earlier this week, she released the second single titled "World On A String," along with a music video directed by Kate Bollinger. The soft track spans just about 3 minutes long and its vintage pop sheen will have you in a sun-filled daze. From Pratt's lower register to the glittery hooks, "World On A String" is filled with possibilities and a child-like wonder for life. There's a hypnotic lull to the track that'll have you in mesmerized sway.
“On this track I was influenced by the swaying, naive brilliance of 'lost' teenage garage rock bands, as well as enduring loves like The Nazz and Guided By Voices,” Pratt says. "Record the song moments after you've learned it on an instrument you've just picked up. Oftentimes, that's all you need.”
Jessica Pratt Tour Dates: Fri. May 31 - Barcelona, ES @ Primavera Sound Sun. June 2 - Paris, FR @ L’Alhambra * Mon. June 3 - Brussels, BE @ AB Theater * Tue. June 4 – Amsterdam, NL @ Zonnehuis * Thu.

This is a love song. But it's a mountain goats love song. Which means that statistically, there is a 98% chance that someone is unhappy

Lyrics: Baby I’m fated but you will be waiting / I will have made it and you’ll be explaining what you think the world owes you / lookin for someone to carry you into / futures that beckon but need to be followed through / I hope you’re happy /I hope you’re pleased / I thought you were a victim but it’s clear to me / I need your love and I need your touch like I need a bolt of lightning from the sky above / I’ve been thinking about you / thinking about you / I can’t escape you, oh / talking a lot like a prophet but there’s no / wisdom in what you’ve been saying and I can’t seem to get a read on you / burning your bridges and spreading around those rumors that sprout from the cracks in the ground, oh no / I hope you’re happy / I hope you’re pleased / I thought you were a victim but its clear to me / baby you’ve got more poison than sugar / baby you’ve got more poison than sugar / I need your love and I need your touch like I need a bolt of lightning from the sky above / I’ve been thinking about you / thinking about you / I can’t escape you / ooh, who could blame me / every time I hear your name I go crazy / ooh, pretty baby / every time I hear your name I go crazy / I need your love and I need your touch like I need a bolt of lightning from the sky above / I’ve been thinking about you, thinking about you / I can’t escape you, oh

DJ FM Live PA/DJ set at Haw River Ballroom! 11.03.2019 #EDM #Dance #Party
After Crystal Bright & I performed my remix of her song “Adungu” (coming soon to streaming platforms), I transitioned directly into a semi-DJ/live set afterwards, thanks to Roland SYNTH + AIRA’s MX-1 performance mixer along with my Music Man 5-string bass :)
It was a few days after Halloween so I dropped a Thriller remix followed by Liu's remix of "Next Episode". The crowd at The Haw River Ballroom was fantastic - great space to see any kind of show. Hope to play there again soon!

Birmingham, AL -- Waxahatchee (aka Katie Crutchfield) will be releasing her new album Saint Cloud on March 27 via Merge Records. The first single from the album is titled “Fire,” which gives us a glimpse into the self-reflective nature of the upcoming record. On the song, Crutchfield wrote the song for herself - serving as a reminder that mistakes will be made but there’s a strength in forgiving ourselves and learning to love ourselves despite those mistakes. From the gentle keyboard start of the track to the song’s slow and steady build, “Fire” replicates the kindness that we need to show ourselves. While this isn’t an overly intense song, there is a soft empowering nature to it that makes you want to listen to it whenever you’re feeling down on yourself.
