Mango Nebula Warps to Spain!

I'll be going to Spain for the next 8 months, until May. One of my goals is to find a sweet music scene, but I don't know if that's possible in Albacete. Anywho, updates will most likely be less frequent. Maybe I'll post about Spanish bands, who knows. I'll be very busy.

w o o l g a t h e r i n g :: Jamaica Plain Bedroom Demos

w o o l g a t h e r i n g :: "The Indelible Shrinking Gurl"

Hullo Good Souls, I am very proud to announce woolgathering's first ever demo/EP/whatever!!! It is music by yours truly.

It was recorded in my bedroom in Jamaica Plain by me with the help of Liz Pelly on the glockenspiel. When I first heard the word woolgathering, which means daydreaming or lollygagging of lackadaisical, I was immediately struck with an image. Not the one you'd think, of a little kid pulling wool off a fence at a farm. However, for whatever reason I saw this little boy in a striped sweater that was too big for him, gathering firewood out of the snow. However, the last log he picked up somehow sent him floating upwards into the sky and he was left, not so much fearful, but reluctant, apathetic and accepting, wide eyed, to his new anti-gravitational fate. I don't know why.

Build a toy guitar. Get lost in a forest of birch trees. Wear a bed sheet around your neck as a cape. Carry the girl across the river. Wrap yourself in blankets of hot snow. Eat dictionaries. Say what you actually mean. Force it out of your soul like a rocket. Esoterrorists, catharsissies and metaphornication. Hear the words that are not deeds, that are the gaps in people’s lacks. Destroy something to give it meaning. Taste your own tongue. Read the glowming on everyone’s faces. Transcend your Humanity. Become a ball of light.

Emperor X Video :: Sleepover Shows

There's this cool thing in Boston called Sleepover shows. Recently Emperor X did  a session with those guys and it was great. Here's a video from it of "Approximately Nine Billion Tigers." That's right, Raisin Bran is an instrument.

Wow :: Backwards Jazz by The Freeswim Pals

An interesting little jazz project a buddy, Greg Albert, helped put together that he said, "I guess is part of the Freeswim Pals." The audio track has been reversed and laid on top of the forwards track, mirrored by the same type of backwards and forwards video. Greg said they'll be more of these with some double exposure next time.http://freeswimpals.blogspot.com/

The Points North Song :: "We Have Opened Up!"

The Points North :: "We Have Opened Up!"

Jamaica Plain's old world folklorists have released a new single, which hopefully will be a preview of an album coming very soon. Last I heard these folks were recording with Sun of Bees. This song REEKS of a wintry Jamaica Plain (slashBoston) in the greatest way possible. I'm pretty sure that's the steamy factory just outside the Arboretum. The photo and the lyrics of walking the streets evoke the city so well. A lovely tune from some of the nicest people in town.

Woodrow Wilsons Video :: Whitehaus Farewell Show

This was an amazing show at the Whitehaus as a farewell to the Woodrow Wilsons for a few months as Laura is going to California. So many cigar box guitars and each member had a cigar box microphone also attached to their mic stands. The band promised that when they reformed there would be a new record, and that is going to be worth waiting for.
