Musical Mouthful The ladies from Duke OOTB: grinka? gringka? green card?
I Just Gotta Say Dave agrees with Bill Hare and Barry Carl that everyone should stop overarticulating rhythmic syllables. Christopher isn’t so sure it’s that simple.
My New Boyfriend Relationship Christopher is currently dating every single voice in the Swedish group Riltons Vanner. And it doesn’t hurt that they’re gorgeous.
Album Review Midwest super hardworking crazy touring quartet Tonic Sol-Fa put out another fantastic mainstream album, Just One of Those Days. Dave and Christopher discuss the pros and cons of simple, fun albums, as well as the group’s curious interpretation of Randi Newman’s “Sail Away.” (Deke’s blog post is here.)
I just gotta say that I very much agree with Dave. Be creative peoples!
Gents, I’m finally off the fence.
I’m an acahead, and I initially subscribed to your show for the reviews and info. I wasn’t sold on you as a tandem because you’re a lot more … glib and gleeful than I am.
Until this episode.
Your articulate and reasonable discussion of the Tonic Sol-Fa issue was perfectly poised. Intelligent without ever rising to either mean-spirited or petty, I thought you did a spectacular job of putting the song, the issue, and the the album into context.
You’ve gained a permanent fan.
Keep up the good work.
