Sound & Groove, Episode 86: "Technology Tunes" Part 2

Scottish-born guitar whiz and singer-songwriter, Bert Jansch. A pioneering force in the English folk movement starting in the mid-60s, he was often described as the "Hendrix of the acoustic guitar" and made highly alluring albums to back up that hype- ones that put him a cut above most on that folk scene indeed.

This is the 3rd official podcast episode of 2019 here on the Sound & Groove Podcast. This is the 2nd in a 2-part theme on songs about technology. It's all part of another series of tremendous tunes you'll hopefully enjoy. And if you haven't been keeping up with S&G on Music of Evan's Mind and/or its home at www.notthepublicbroadcaster.com, here's the breakdown: 6 times a year there will be a theme that the selection of music is centred around. It will be jam-packed with my analysis, synopses, anecdotes and other witticisms you might enjoy while I play edited-down versions of each tune. And not to worry, because each will contain a different theme than the last. Got it? Get it? Good. Happy listening to you all.

Sound & Groove, Episode 84: "California On My Mind" Part 2

The royal couple of country music throughout (and even after) their marriage, George Jones and Tammy Wynette had a tumultuous relationship marked by an intense love that was marred by Jones's frequent serious bouts of alcoholism. They had their union play out on the stage and on record as well, where several of their duet album and single releases become C&W chart smashes. Even a divorce in 1976 didn't stop their collaborations entirely. One of their signature hits together is featured on this 2nd episode of S&G's "California On My Mind" theme.

This is the 2nd official podcast episode of 2019 here on the Sound & Groove Podcast. This is the 2nd in a 2-part theme on songs about California. It could be about somewhere, something or some aspect of the Golden Coast state but whatever the case, I've chosen the best for these 2 episodes. It's all fair game for another series of tremendous tunes you'll hopefully enjoy. And if you haven't been keeping up with S&G on Music of Evan's Mind and/or its home at www.notthepublicbroadcaster.com, here's the breakdown: Every month there will be a theme that the selection of music is centred around.

Sound & Groove, Episode 83: "California On My Mind" Part 1

The criminally little-known but influential Los Angeles-based outfit X, which put out several tremendous albums in the first half of the 80s with a sound that may have been dubbed punk at the outset but showed a unique sense of melody, vocal harmony and cohesion missing from most music in the genre or the L.A. punk territory in general. Though they'd slowly veer toward a brighter, more rockabilly "cowpunk" type of sound before their first split as a group in 1986, X would endure as one of the truly original groups of that scene

Sound & Groove, Episode 82: "Come Fly With Me" Part 2

The off & on leading force behind the influential UK prog rock outfit Van Der Graaf Generator as well as a prolific solo artist with over 30 solo albums in a 5 decade record industry career, Peter Hamill has been an odd, idiosyncratic beacon of creativity in his own unique right. From throaty, vocally extravagant pieces of long-form art rock to quiet, solemn, hymn-like compositions, Hamill has never failed to intrigue during his low-key yet vibrant career. One of his top cuts from the mid-70s makes an appearance on this particular S&G podcast- the official final one of 2018.

This is the 6th official podcast episode of 2018 here on the Sound & Groove Podcast. This is the 2nd in a 2-part theme on songs about flying. Whether it be be air travel, space travel or any other type of trip into the hemisphere. It's all fair game for another series of tremendous tunes you'll hopefully enjoy. And if you haven't been keeping up with S&G on Music of Evan's Mind and/or its home at www.notthepublicbroadcaster.com, here's the breakdown: Every month there will be a theme that the selection of music is centred around.

Sound & Groove, Episode 81: "Come Fly With Me" Part 1

A troubled, yet gifted and highly envied songwriter, Townes Van Zandt's career was often interrupted by long bouts of inactivity after the early 70s- mainly due to his battles with manic depression, drug and alcohol abuse that ultimately cut short his life at age 52 in 1997. But in his late 60s and early 70s prime, he formed into one of the preeminent figures of the growing singer-songwriter movement, but of the wing that consisted of musicians steeped in the country and/or bluegrass sensibilities of the South finding success with a folkier style that played to the coffee houses of hot spots such as San Antonio, Austin, Nashville and Memphis. One of his best tracks from his only studio album released between 1973 and 1986 (Flyin' Shoes) is featured on Part 1 of this S&G theme.

This is the 5th official podcast episode of 2018 here on the Sound & Groove Podcast. This is the 1st in a 2-part theme on songs about flying.

Sound & Groove, Episode 80: "Mother Of Violence" Part 2

One of the more forgotten, overlooked, yet brilliant musical acts Australia has ever produced, the Go-Betweens never found substantial commercial success but brought indie credibility. Along with Nick Cave, represented a sudden musical boom in the 1980s out of the Queensland capital city Brisbane. Slowly emerging from their art-punk roots upon their 1977 formation into a shimmering, dreamy, jangly pop-rock band, the Go-Betweens put out a series of amazing albums in the mid-80s until a 1989 breakup. The split lasted 11 years until primary members Robert Forster & Grant McLennan reunited for 2 more albums under the name- a revival sadly cut short by McLennan's heart attack death in 2006.

This is the 4th official podcast episode of 2018 here on the Sound & Groove Podcast. It's a bit overdue but no need to worry, as I've pledged another 2 episodes yet to come throughout this calendar year. This is the 2nd in a 2-part theme on songs about the darker side of our nature, ie violence. So get ready for songs of murder, deceit, disgrace, riot, mayhem and general anarchy muhahaha. Oh, but also a treasure trove of delicious music to sink your teeth into.
