Show Post: In House #1482


It's the In House Halloween special today, which always serves as a decent excuse for throwing a little of everything into the pot, with asthetics ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime, eras spanning six decades and music from everyone ranging from Tom Waits to The Cure to long lost doo-wop groups from the fifties performing the likes of "Dead Man Stroll" and "Zombie Walk." Boo.

There are a lot of positive words one might use to describe the music and general asthetic of Toronto band the Constantines: unassuming, gritty, honest, raw, unpretentious and the real deal all come to mind. Frontman Bry Webb has drawn comparisons to the likes of Joe Strummer and young Springsteen-- the hoarse, guttaral mmph at the center of a sound that's been called "arty dub punk." The band's latest, Tournament of Hearts, continues their string of big-hearted, passionate albums with more going on than you might catch on the first or fifth, or tenth listen. The third release for the band is out on Sub Pop in the U.S. and also serves as the swan song release for the wonderful Three Gut records in Canada.

For a born and bred Brit, singer-songwriter Peter Bruntnell does the Americana thing very convincingly. Although it's yet to have a U.S. release date, Bruntnell just released his fifth full-length, Ghost In a Spitfire, in the U.K. on Loose records. The album continues in the vein of things he's done in the past-- sort of a Nick Drake/ Tom Petty cross with a penchant for alt-country-- while adding elements of good old fashioned Brit-rock.

Outside of, say, having all of their equipment stolen right before a major tour, it's been a pretty good year for the Decemberists. 1- Their third full-length, Picaresque, was released last spring and has garnered rave reviews as well as newfound attention for the band. 2- They've been engaged in a very successful and seemingly never-ending tour, headlining festivals and such all over the place. 3- In addition, they also seem to be the darlings of, well, everybody-- snooty hipster music mags included. Add to all of this the fact that the stolen gear was (mostly) later recovered and you have the makings of a banner year. Could things get any better? Well, they're playing the Big Easy in Boise tonight, so I guess that's a start. Cass McCombs opens the show.

Chances are good that you're familiar with the duo playing at Salt Lake City's In the Venue tonight-- Iron & Wine and Calexico recently collaborated on the In the Reins EP (highlighted here) and are out on the road together. The plan for today's entry, then, was to give a little face time to a band you may not be so familiar with: San Francisco's Court & Spark, who were to be playing Kilby Court in Salt Lake City tomorrow night. Unfortunately, it appears that the band has been forced to cancel their planned fall tour for "a myriad of reasons which (they) can't/won't reveal." Nevertheless, the band gets some face time anyway as they've announced that they've recently finished their forthcoming album, I Want to Be a Gallant Rider Like My Father Was Before Me, due out on Absolutely Kosher in March. The planned release is the follow up to last year's very fine Witch Season, and the Court & Spark's fourth full-length overall.

Salt Lake City singer-songwriter Kate MacLeod has been a staple of that city's folk scene for years. Following a move from the east coast in 1979 to study in Salt Lake City at the Violin Making School of America, MacLeod made her roots in Utah, playing with a variety of Celtic, folk, bluegrass and oldtime stringband acts. Since then, she's appeared on a number of recordings, both as a solo artist and as a member of larger ensembles within which her genre-hopping fiddle skills have been a central element. Earlier this year, she released her first album with her current band, Kate MacLeod & the Pancakes, entitled Breakfast. The album manages to find a niche in that place where traditional Celtic music meets northern Americana, or what was eventually to become bluegrass. The quartet shines on a variety of originals and traditionals, as well as one Bob Dylan cover. Kate MacLeod joins us today for a live in-studio set in support of her band's appearance tonight at the Acoustic Cafe (208-232-9755) in Pocatello, ID.

Friday Random Five (#8)


It's that time of the week again, the weekend spread out before us with the promise that the things that never happen for any of us on any weekend will, finally, happen this weekend. But I digress and, in the event that that's not the case, a rather special Random Five has been constructed this week made solely of brand new and soon to be released kinds of things (except for one, which is new but might not ever be released). Anyway, here's to your enjoyment of the selections, be they a soundtrack to, or a replacement for, whatever your weekend holds.


1- We begin with a track from Austin's Okkervil River, who are set to release an EP of songs that didn't quite make it onto their most recent full-length, Black Sheep Boy (surprisingly entitled Black Sheep Boy Appendix). It's out November 22nd on Jagjaguwar, and "No Key, No Plan" (MP3) will be on it.

2- I don't know a lot about singer-songwriter Edith Frost, but she's got a new album called It's a Game coming out on Drag City on November 15th. "Emergency" (MP3) is a song that will make you want hear the rest of it.

3- You may or may not have heard, but several Elliott Smith tracks were leaked this week, purported to be from the same sessions as the From a Basement On the Hill recordings. While that claim has been refuted for some of the songs, others have been confirmed-- "The Worst Part Is Almost Over" (MP3) is one of those.

4- Harvey Danger are back, as you may have seen on this blog a couple of weeks ago, and sound great on the new full-length Little By Little. They've also gotten some attention because they happen to be giving away the album as a download on their website. Here's a demo version of "Wine, Women & Song" (MP3), which appears in a slightly more poppy and horn-laden state on the new album.

5- A few years back the Red House Painters' Mark Kozolek released a couple of albums worth of AC/DC covers. Rock & Roll Singer and What's Next to the Moon ingeniusly reinterpreted Bon Scott-era AC/DC songs into Kozolek style folk, shedding a whole new light on the content and meaning of the songs. Kozolek's latest act, Sun Kil Moon, is set to release a Modest Mouse covers album entitled Tiny Cities on November 1st. The tracklist more or less covers the entire MM discography, with slightly more attention paid to their early catalog. If nothing else, the project promises complete re-realizations, as in this version of "The Ocean Breathes Salty" (MP3).

It's hard to pin down the sound of dios (malos). Hailing from L.A.'s South Bay, the band has a style as diverse as the area in which they grew up. Sometimes it's Hendrix, others it's the Band or the Beach Boys, and, occasionally, it's the Pixies. In short, they're all over the map-- both musically and literally as the band has spent the past year and a half or so touring the country with the likes of the Fiery Furnaces, the French Kicks, Pretty Girls Make Graves, and others. dios (malos) (formerly just plain "dios", if not for a cease and desist letter from this clown. Still no word from dEUS on the matter) hit Salt Lake City tonight, playing at Club Halo in support of their second full-length, the self-titled dios (malos), out on Startime International.

Probably best known as the front man for the Supersuckers over the past seventeen years, Eddie Spaghetti has only recently begun to do the solo thing, his debut coming on last year's The Sauce. Spaghetti must have enjoyed himself, because he's already back in solo form, releasing Old No. 2 this week. While the solo efforts aren't a huge departure from Supersuckers fare, they are a bit more subdued with Spaghetti trying his hand at more singer-songwriterly material. Aside from four originals, Spaghetti peppers the set with a diverse selection of covers, including songs by Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Nick Lowe and Tom Waits-- but also AC/DC and the Coasters. Meanwhile, the Supersuckers are gearing up for a tour with the Reverend Horton Heat, set to begin in November.

It's been four long years since the Silver Jews graced us with the wit of Bright Flight. From the sounds of things, those four years have been longer for no one more than David Berman, essentially the sole actual member of the band. He's spent that time struggling with depression, drug addiction and an attempted suicide in the form of a deliberate overdose. From the sounds of things, he's "come through," as they say, joined on Tanglewood Numbers by former brothers-in-Pavement Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich, Will "Bonnie Prince Billy" Oldham, and Bobby Bare Jr., to drop a few names. The result, it appears, is an album that sounds very much like the Silver Jews in some ways and not very much in others-- meaning that the poetry and wit of Mr. Berman are very much intact, but the production values are higher and less stripped down. Tanglewood Numbers is out today on Drag City records.

About three years ago, Anti records rebirthed the great soul artist Solomon Burke with the wonderful Don't Give Up On Me. Everthing about that project-- the production, the composers, the song selection-- was fresh and new, essentially allowing for Burke to do his classic thing within a new realm of modern. The new release from soulstress Bettye LaVette, I've Got My Own Hell to Raise, has a similar feel to it as she covers everyone from Sinead O'Connor to Dolly Parton to Joan Armatrading. Much like Burke's release, people are suddenly saying, "Where did she come from?" Allmusic.com calls her a "perennial cult favorite," while Anti points out the "vagaries of the popular music industry" that have kept her "criminally unknown" despite the fact that she's been recording for four decades. From the appearance of things, she may not be unknown for much longer.

Podcasts Are a Go......

I'm very pleased to announce that, after much forehead kneading and wringing of hands, podcasts of In House are now available. One thing's for sure, it's not the most unconvoluded set-up process by any means, and it may take some looking around for details on how and why and where they work on your part-- but the bottom line, as with all podcasting, is that you don't have to be there in the immediate to hear the show. Rather, it's delivered to you and you listen whenever you feel like it-- or not at all-- or only to those select places in the playlist that interest you.

First things first, a podcast is essentially just a large mp3 file. This means that if you're not interested in the "delivered to you" portion of the description, you can just download and listen to the mp3 on the blog. If you're looking for podcasting, simply scroll down the page until you come to the buttons for several podcasting applications; "my yahoo," "podnova," and "odeo," are several examples of these-- I find "iPodder" the easiest to use. The In House feed is supplied by feedburner, meaning that you would want to enter this when prompted for a feed in which to subscribe: http://feeds.feedburner.com/InHouseWithJeremyPetersen. The application program should do the rest for you. You don't need an iPod or an mp3 player to receive podcasts-- they'll play on any source on which any standard mp3 will play.

I would expect podcasts to be available within the 24 hours following the end of most (but not all) shows. There are already a couple posted: podcasts #1 and #2 for last Thursday's and Friday's broadcasts. Here's hoping you enjoy. Feel free to email your questions/comments/suggestions to inhouseradio@gmail.com.

The Clumsy Lovers, from Vancouver, BC, are undoubtedly one of the hardest working bands around.

Friday Random Five (x2) (#7)

As you may, or may not, have noticed, the Friday Random Five took the week off last week, thus delaying installment #7 until this week. However, no need to feel cheated-- we're making it up to you with a Friday Random Five(x2) this week, which my rudimentary college education suggests equals a random ten. It's truly random, too, as there's stuff from all walks here: new stuff, old stuff, live stuff, etc. So put the water on to boil and watch the leaves come down, the weekend's upon us.

1- If you haven't seen the Clumsy Lovers live, it's only because you didn't go because chances are outstanding that they've been to your town. The Vancouver, BC band plays something like 4,000 shows a year, and they're in Pocatello, ID tonight. "Amen" (MP3) comes from their 2003 release After the Flood.

2- Speaking of live, one of the best live shows around is put on by Calexico. They're currently touring with Iron & Wine in support of the In the Reins EP the two put out together, hitting Salt Lake City on October 24th. This gem version of "Stray" (MP3) was recorded at the Casbah in San Diego.

3- It's Foucault, but it ain't exactly post-modern. No, this is Jeffrey Foucault, a singer-songwriter originally from Wisconsin. The tune "4 and 20 Blues" (MP3) comes from last year's Stripping Cane.

4- Next up, it's a non-album track from Portland, OR-based M.Ward, a personal favorite of mine. "One More Goodbye" (MP3-stream) comes from the Merge Records compilation Old Enough to Know Better.

5- Staying with a Merge artist, Lambchop offers up a spoonful of positivity that's so much easier to swallow on a Friday (though I'd still recommend the song itself for the rest of the week, too). Soothe your people skills with a live version of "Up With People" (MP3-stream).

6- It was announced this week that the one-woman-band that is Chan Marshall's Cat Power will be releasing The Greatest, her follow up to You Are Free, this January 24th. Decidedly more blues and groove based than Marshall's past work, it's being called her "Dusty In Memphis" moment. Here's the title track: "The Greatest" (MP3).

7- Also upcoming is the fifth album from the Silver Jews, entitled Tanglewood Numbers. A formula that includes Stephen Malkmus as a side man, a cast of seemingly thousands and the acerbic song poetry of frontman David Berman, the band is always good for refreshingly offbeat, genre-hopping numbers. "I'm Getting Back Into Getting Back Into You" (MP3) appears on the new album, out October 18th.

8- Rumors of the rotting and subsequent festering ferment of the Apples in Stereo were, thankfully, greatly exaggerated. In fact, they're working on a new album to be released in 2006. "Liza Jane" (MP3) is their contribution to Dimension Mix, a tribute album of sorts to the music of the 5th Dimension, Bruce Haak, and Esther Nelson recently out on Eenie Meenie records.

9- A new tribute album to the music of Elliott Smith by northwest-based artists is being planned for an early 2006 release. This doesn't happen to included on that particular gathering, but in the same spirit is the Robot Ate Me's version of Smith's "Angel In the Snow" (MP3).

10- We close it with a three minute mainline of energy in the form of a non-album track from Nic Armstrong & the Thieves. Hailing from the U.K., the band released their debut full-length The Greatest White Liar earlier this year. "If We Can't Escape My Pretty" (MP3) isn't on it.

The Posies may have had one of the worst attempts at a break-up in history, as they continued to release archived material and play "reunion" shows long after their supposed final album Success was released in 1999. Not that anyone here is complaining-- and if you're going to be lousy at something, it may as well be breaking up something beautiful. So it is that 2005 saw the official return of the Posies with Every Kind of Light, released earlier this year on Rykodisc. The new Posies consist of a new rhythm section, Matt Harris and Darius Minwalla, along with mainstays John Auer and Ken Stringfellow (which means, if you're keeping track at home, that the old half of the Posies is also the new half of Big Star, but I digress). The band is touring the western U.S. throughout the month of October, many of those dates with San Francisco's Oranger, and hit Salt Lake City and Boise this weekend.

It's been a while since anyone's heard anything out of Seattle quartet Harvey Danger. You could say five years, but not many people actually heard 2000's King James Version. Most people haven't actually heard them since their 1997 debut, Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone?, which, of course, featured the surprise hit, "Flagpole Sitta." In the meantime, the band's sort of been doing other things-- most notably Sean Nelson, who not only helped the Long Winters' melodies soar with keyboards and background harmonies on their last full length, when i pretend to fall, but also spends time as a DJ at Seattle's KEXP. While it's regrettable that Nelson left the Long Winters, it's nice to have Harvey Danger back-- particularly sounding this good. Besides, they're easy to root for because they're so nice-- look, they're giving away the new album.

Temperamental songstress Fiona Apple released her first album in six years this week, entitled Extraordinary Machine. Despite its "new" status, the album's history is already a long and tumultuous one, beginning with its original recording and production three years ago. After finishing the album with respected composer, instrumentalist and producer Jon Brion, Apple shelved all but two songs, unhappy with the overall sound. Earlier this year, the internet-leaked version 1 revealed itself to be full of the occasionally difficult, but melodic baroque-pop for which Brion has become known. Some time later, Apple re-recorded the album and tagged Mike Elizondo, late of names like Dr. Dre, Eminem, Sheryl Crow and Avril Lavigne, for production duties. The end result is decidedly more commercial, which more than one review has suggested doesn't exactly translate to "better." Some sources have even engaged in comparison reviews, pitting version 1.0 against version 2.0, side by side. Fiona Apple opens a U.S. tour in Portland in late November.

Kentucky's My Morning Jacket returns with their fourth album, simply entitled Z, out today. While the band retains much of its longtime influence from artists like Neil Young and the Band, and contemporaries like Mercury Rev and the Magnolia Electric Co., there's undoubtedly something different in the mix this time around. Frontman Jim James' trademark reverb-drenched vocals are perhaps a little less drenched, and find themselves surrounded by keyboard lines and funk beats. The result is an unlikely mix that's difficult to identify with a label. What is certain is that the band isn't afraid to follow their own creative muse, and it appears to have paid off thus far. My Morning Jacket kicks off their fall tour this week in Atlanta with Kathleen Edwards supporting.

As always with a Vanderslice show, there's a possibility of more than just music-- he might invite everyone to go bowling afterwards, or back to his hotel for a dip in the pool, or maybe down the street for some Mexican fast food.
