TONITE: Get Your Freak Folk On
Phawker (Free subscription) | yesterday
[Artwork by ALEX FINE] BY JONATHAN VALANIA It all started, for me anyway, at Brooke Sietinsons‘ walk-up loft/hobbit hole on Second Street, somewhere in that OK Corral-esque strip between the Standard Tap and the 700 Club.

Ruth Brown - Black Is Brown And Brown Is Beautiful (1969)
Zero G Sound (Free subscription) | 11/21/2009
. They called Atlantic Records "the house that Ruth built" during the 1950s, and they weren't referring to the Sultan of Swat.

Dear Danes
letters from the end consumer (Free subscription) | 11/18/2009
Growing up, three kinds of music made me cry because I thought it was too heartachingly beautiful packed with love while still being all sadsounding: Trille's Min Lille Sol, Eric Satie's Gymnopedies and Billie Holiday's God bless the Child. I can't find the Trille tune anywhere. Can you post it on iTunes or Youtube? Thankyou!
