I used to have a nice archive (Li’l Mattress!) of Charles Laquidara shows from Manao Radio and WBOS – all linked and even subscribe/podcast-able but my WebHost switched servers twice (and lost the site twice) and ruined a lot of good links TWICE and then limited the amount of space I can use (and then wanted to charge me more – THEY suck! – but here I am …) and how here’s A link to A WBOS show – it might get scrootched at some point because of Copyright and Copywrong – this is just a link to an mp3. – 20 years ago! Ah but I was so much younger then I’m older than that now.
Here’s a demo of Folktronica noise emanating from a Harlin Multi-Kord with fresh strings. Space is cramped here, and i didn’t hook a volume pedal, nor try to emulate a Pedal Steel (much) using this console guitar. Snail Run by ThE iNtEnSiOnS.
In the 1980’s Sacco’s in Watertown, MA had a country music open mic, where I’d go in early to get dinner and listen to local singer-songwriters and try out my own stuff. This clip is from 1988… I have a couple other tapes somewhere – recorded on an Akai portable tape deck. Sometimes I did the soundboard there (Where I met Paul Terazzo/Kenny Selzer/Brother Cleve – and the standard folks Ed Kunkle, Bucky Bear, the guy who played pedal steel on a keyboard, Dave Sammarco, Karen Silver…so many others I have forgotten – I even made demo tapes for Mark Shapiro) This was before the Harvard Square – Black Rose open mics (famous for bumping me to an 11:15 slot) which turned into the Kendall Cafe Open Mic…
Just a couple songs here (not my set which i have) Up against the wall – Uncle Kunkle and Robert Wheeler playing Ukulele Lady, I think…
I’m not sure what that even means! I’ve been giving away music and sending it to Soundcloud, Reverbnation and Tumblr for years. I had reached some limits so in order to keep using these services I had to pay them something and in there is monetization (well, with soundcloud at least, reverbnation is a big fat question mark) – anyhow some playlists I’ve created so smaller chunks of some stuff reather than Albums (albums may be acquired at bandcamp and/or noisetrade) https://soundcloud.com/theintensions
The last few years with contagious tears oh man how that just sucked some of us masked some of us vaxxed oh yeah we’re all doin’ fine’, fine so exasperating to continue navigating past -all the variants you know we’re not done yet, time to make the time, time to take the time time to make the time ,to take the time
The whole world stopped everything dropped what it was doing, so confusing ,so confusing while frustrating us, isolating us we’re trying not to die, or die trying all the innocents who never got the chance to make it you know we’re not done yet, time to make the time, time to take the time time to make the time,to take the time
Hello in there, am I seeing that angel from Montgomery a souvenir from all the years we won and lost Smile an illegal smile , helps me through the drudgery how people say some things i c’never get across
in dark desperation, you can find inspiration in a song if you ask me how much longer this will last oh man, too long Remember those we lost- the ultimate cost of a pandemic you know we’re not done yet, time to make the time, time to take the time time to make the time, to take the time
Hello in there, a souvenir from all the tears we lost Smile that illegal smile, share it in kind how people say some things i c’never get across Hey John I remember everything and you’re still on my mind. you know we’re not done yet, time to make the time, time to take the time time to make the time, -Take the time
Today and Today and Today Stands in its present place all day: today Starts with the first consonant of a waking grunt Oh ! Recall our Yesterdays, a feinted thought To pave the next event. Shake Shake Magic Eightball! Age is but an accumulation, a greying cloud, That looms and billows over brighter skies then shadows pass, evincing rain. It is a life Blown by wind, full of love and friends Amplifying Everything,
