124: Telephone Songs Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

You hate voice mail as much as I do? And avoid 80% of the unscheduled incoming calls like the plague? Let's go back to a time when everyone had a land line, white pages, yellow pages, no call display, no cell phone, and you had to get past her/his mom to talk dirty (or not) on the phone. Telephone songs, including the subcategory of the "drunk dial", from the 50's to now.

123: Eamon McGrath Album Release Special Feb 25, 2022

Show notes

A very special 52 minutes with the incomparable Eamon McGrath as his February 2022 full-length album Bells of Hope comes out. This Toronto-based songwriter made the album at home and it's immaculate, stirring and provocative, causing this podcast host to well up, particularly in the presence of a live performance in this interview of the song “Age of Unease”. You'll hear that plus another new song played live, and two more directly off the record, and as a bonus, Eamon's spectacular version of Daniel Johnston's “True Love Will Find You In the End”.
