Pretty Bird - Frederick Squire, 2010

[birdsofcanada]

Frederick Squire is a shy and unassuming voice in Canada’s modern folk conversation. His quiet ruminations recall past collaborator Julie Doiron, and the matter of fact singing of Bry Webb.

His latest album was recorded on aging, dusty old equipment with a rich back story. I won’t spoil it for you, have a listen/read at the link above.

What do I want with my life now that you're gone? I want your ghost gone What do I want with this wood now that it's sawn? I want the stump gone, and the land that it grew on Oh black lagoon, you have my shoe, so I go shoeless I go muddy, crawling through What do I want with my home now that I'm gone? I want the shades drawn and the overgrown lawn I would gladly abandon a limb in the trap's jaw, Just as long as I crawl on, with no trapper to call on Thorough and true, by stem and root, I know no one now Now I say "Who?"

Shotgun & Jaybird  Marquee Glass  ||  Well, it seems I made it to post #100. I started this Tumblr thing so I could have a place to share stuff that I like. I don't know if many people have checked it out, but I hope I've introduced at least one person to a good song or a cool video. I don't post extremely often for two reasons: 1) I get obsessed over details when I write, so it takes me a long time to draft a post, and 2) I only want to share extra-awesome stuff, so I usually don't post unless something really grabs my attention. In the case of today's entry, we have a song that's been grabbing my attention for a long time. Let me put it this way. I find it impossible to pick a favourite band... but if I had to pick one... it would be Shotgun & Jaybird. I also find it impossible to pick a favourite song... but if I had to pick one... it would be Marquee Glass. That's right: for post #100, you get to hear what may be my favourite song by what may be my favourite band. If you dig Shotgun & Jaybird, I highly recommend checking out their other stuff. If you really dig them, I have a bunch of their older, no-longer-for-purchase songs that I'd be happy to share with you. Cool? Cool. Music is pretty great.
