kaini Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 these guys are fucking massive in ireland... they mix trad irish with talking drums and various other world instruments. i've seen live them twice; they have a reputation for turning a dancefloor into a heaving, sweaty mass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvwI308hhAk timesig changes in this that would put rush to shame :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAOmx2fRyck translation of verse 1: I was trapped in a place which is ruled by the traffic I was trapped in a place where you would believe in it I was trapped in a place which is filled with the traffic Don't know how, but I was always going to escape. I am going to go to where the roads have no pavements I am travelling back and forth on the breast of the world I am arriving to the heritage within which I was reared Don't know how, but for sure, I'll get there So good-bye, good-bye, good-bye, I'll see you soon. tóg é go bog é means 'you take it soft', which is essentially the irish for 'take it handy' or 'take it easy' and is often used as a goodbye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xy_politics Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 For the next show I'd recommend just playing this album from start to finish: Lal & Mike Waterson - Bright Phoebus (Full album YT playlist) When the Watersons, exhausted from touring, decided to take an "undefined" break in 1968, siblings Lal and Mike went into the studio with some of British folk's most revered players and cut Bright Phoebus. Not content to stay true to their penchant for reinterpretations of traditional tunes, the pair unleashed what would become their only collection of original material, and one of the most sought-after recordings in the history of the genre. Beginning with the "Beatlesque" "Rubber Band," which features such oddball contemporary lyrics as "Just like margarine our fame is spreading," Bright Phoebus declares its intentions as the folk equivalent of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. However, it's not all "For the Benefit of Mr. Kite," as evidenced by Lal's devastating -- and oft-covered -- tale of loneliness, drink, and regret, "Red Wine Promises," featuring a beautiful guest vocal by Norma Waterson. All of the players, Tim Hart, Maddy Prior, Ashley Hutchings, and even producer Bill Leader, work as a single organism to bring these unique and beautiful songs to life, and the ever-present dual acoustic guitar assault of Richard Thompson and Martin Carthy gives the recording a downright biblical base from which to expound on. There are psychedelic deviations ("Magical Man"), country-tinged romps ("Danny Rose"), and achingly haunting ballads ("The Scarecrow"), but it's the singularly perfect title track that provides the most goose bumps. It's a pagan campfire singalong that manages to both intrigue and inspire while simultaneously ripping your heart out for no apparent reason. That sentiment describes much of Bright Phoebus, and while its dark charms have been quelled for years due to licensing agreements and general mismanagement, the songs themselves have only grown in strength, waiting patiently for their inevitable day in the sun, and the well-deserved accolades of the masses. For something contemporary/hybrid, I'd certainly recommend Benoit Pioulard, especially the album Lasted. To my mind it flattens anything Bibio has done since he signed to Warp Records.

J3FF3R00 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Early My Morning Jacket (prior to 2004) is amazing. Fleet Foxes owes them a big thanks, if you ask me... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVemSxDMU40 Arlo Guthrie is always one of my faves... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yomALUHERYw Judee Sill is a fucking genius... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1p5pYU_Td0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX9mErQ9usM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRdPjf3vweQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0feFedDW_iQ Also, Donovan totally counts as Folk... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf0VUNuT39U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3TUt5mCiwA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gdW2JzHwkw&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganus Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 This is Ganus's lady-- I made an account and then it told me I wasn't allowed to view anything, otherwise I'd be posting from there. Thank you everyone for all your recommendations! I'm working on listening through all of them. My first show was on Monday the 30th and it went quite well-- I used two songs I found on the first page of this thread: the fleet foxes' song and bowerbirds' song. I'll be coming back here as I work on my next set for Monday the 6th. If she's already versed, she probably knows all about Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Iron & Wine, but I'll just throw em out as a reminder :) Yes. :> I decided against Iron and Wine last week, however, because I thought it was too obvious... I still like them all the same, though! Here's the playlist I ended up with on Monday: 1. Bottle Rockettes - Peter and the Wolf 2. Golden - My Morning Jacket 3. Seba - Leafcutter John 4. Morning Glory Cloud - DM Stith 5. Three Questions - Bonnie 'Prince' Billy 6. There Will Come Soft Rains - Dead Heart Bloom 7. Escape Artist Blues - Eef Barzelay 8. Decatur, or, Round of Applause For Your Stepmother! - Sufjan Stevens 9. I Love How You Love Me - Jeff Mangum 10. Pretty Girl From San Diego - The Avett Brothers 11. Closing the Doors - Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps 12. William - Sibylle Baier 13. White Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes 14. In Our Talons - Bowerbirds 15. Stampede Me - Daedalus 16. The Earthquake of '73 - Fruit Bats 17. Moon Shake - Leafcutter John and http://www.mediafire.com/?gatexaa0l28ftoa there are the songs if you want them. If you're interested in listening, we stream live at www.wiux.org out of Bloomington, IN. I'm on Mondays 4 pm EST (9pm GMT) to 5p. Thanks again for all of your suggestions!! I promise to check them all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke viia Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I picked up an excellent compilation called Folk Is Not a Four Letter Word on a whim a few years ago... very much recommend it to everyone. It's a bit psych at times. And on that tip, if anyone is looking for a more folk/psych blend, I recommend the truly amazing compilation by Amorphous Androgynous, A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble.
