FolkStreams » Afro-American Work Songs in a Texas Prison

Pete Seeger and Toshi Seeger, their son Daniel, and folklorist Bruce Jackson visited a Texas prison in Huntsville in March of 1966 and produced this rare document of of work songs by inmates of the Ellis Unit. Worksongs helped African American prisoners survive the grueling work demanded of them. With mechanization and integration, worksongs like these died out shortly after this film was made.

I grew up about 20 minutes away from this in the suburbs of Chicago. It was recently dismantled and discarded after there were no bidders on Ebay. Basically it was free if you could cart it away and had space to store it or reconstruct it. I was very sad that day. If you want more information there is an entire Wikipedia page about it. Just click the image above.

Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots - Old Service Road

Jay Munly (also credited as Munly and Munly Munly) is a banjo player, guitarist, singer, and songwriter based in Denver, Colorado. He is one of the major participants in the “Denver Sound”, music that mixes elements of country, Gothic, and gospel. He is a member of Slim Cessna’s Auto Club and Denver Broncos UK as well as the leader of his own band, Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots. Prior to working with the Harlots, Munly released several solo albums recording with a vast array of musicians. Some of these performers included members of Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, Devotchka, and future members of Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots. In July 2006, Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots was voted the best band in Colorado by over 100 music experts in the Denver Post Underground Music Poll.[1]

Munly’s music has ties to alt-country and Gothic-Americana. Common themes include religion, violence and dysfunctional relationships; often they are entertwined. His increasingly narrative songs often feature banjo and, since the recording of Jimmy Carter Syndrome, strings. - Wikipedia

O’Death - Spitfire

O’Death builds a Frankenstein lurch out of mangled folk and rock parts, set to the tune of old-timey fiddle and banjo on Broken Hymns, Limbs and Skin. The album’s spirit manifests with bold, haunted hootenannies that taunt the grave with calamity and manic energy. The jittery pace of opener “Low Tide” is a fast-paced, country plod, and the balance of rhythm and violin shrieks in “Fire on Peshtigo” capture a tight and concise rendering of various strains of ramshackle American music. But the boom and change of “Mountain Shifts” and the high, lonesome din of “Vacant Moan” give a dose of depth to O’Death’s punk/folk dirge that make you forget to fret that the end is extremely nigh. Four stars. - Creative Loafing

Personal Data Integration-

“I’ve been toying with the idea of attempting “semantic integration” of a lot of personal data in my life. I’ll be sure to share more later, but so far I’ve managed to pull together my September phone records, my email history, my contacts, my calendar and my Facebook friends (via the API, not something sketchy!) into a single triple-store.”

When Will You Come Home - Galaxie 500

I started my day this morning while listening to Galaxie 500’s fantastic album, On Fire! Try it sometime. Great morning album! Now I am listening to Rihanna. Go figure!

“Though criminally overlooked in their own lifetime, Galaxie 500 later emerged as one of the pivotal underground groups of the post-punk era; dreamy and enigmatic, their minimalist dirges presaged the rise of both the shoegazer and slowcore movements of the 1990s” - Pandora Radio

Pirate’s Gospel is one of my favorite albums of the past year and Alela Diane is one of my favorite artists in recent memory. She is woefully overlooked and needs to be heard. If I could choose anyone to sing me to sleep at night she would be the hands down winner.

I live on this street in Atlanta. I don’t think I have ever lived on a street that has a song named after it before. Everybody give Atlanta and Butch Walker some love.
