If I Were a Musician, I Would Be on the Contrast Podcast Today

posted Tuesday, 26 August 2008

     Today's contrast podcast is another one of the special "Musicians Introduce Their Own Songs" episodes. You can listen to it or download it here. I think these podcasts are such a great way to get to know more about the people who make the music we love to listen to. I know that if I were in a band and wanted to get my stuff out there, I'd definitely take advantage of the opportunity to be a part of it.

     Next week is going to be a really cool episode, too. It's "Poetry," wherein you read a poem as the intro and pick a song to go with it. If you feel poetically inclined, you should give it a go.

     You know what I think would be an interesting twist on the concept of musicians introducing their own stuff? The musicians could contribute a song by another artist, much like we the usual contributors do, but it would be cooler coz it came from them. Whaddya think?

     On that note, Noel Kelly from the band The Hush Now (recently mentioned here) and I have been corresponding a bit and he recommended these two bands to me, so I thought I'd pass along his suggestions in the spirit of my new idea.

The Little Ones--"Ordinary Song" mp3 off Morning Tide (buy--out Oct. 8th) 

The Little Ones--"Morning Tide (Django Django Remix)" mp3 off Morning Tide

Headlights--"TV" mp3 off Kill Them With Kindness (buy)

Headlights--"Market Girl" mp3 off Some Racing, Some Stopping (buy)

     Now all I have to do is convince Noel to have The Hush Now be in the next episode of the Musicians Introduce Their Own Songs podcast and my work will be done!

I had that Headlights EP a couple of years back, but do you think I can FIND IT? I wonder if it somehow made a trip to FL with my son! Twist Noel's arm and maybe they'll submit a song. He probably needs to listen to the CP once, just so he knows how cool we all are. ;)

hmm, the case of the disappearing cd! in our house, it's usually ME who's the culprit! i will definitely encourage noel and co. to contribute to the next podcast. this week's edition is really good so far (i'm about 20 min. in).


all mp3s are for sampling purposes only. you like it? you buy it. you want me to take it down? let me know. and for the uninitiated, if you wish to listen to a song, click on the little blue arrows and they will stream. thanks, your host and music lover, mjrc.
