THE NINEBULLETS.NET PODCAST: EPISODE 29

Oct 192012
 

Woot! It was nice to get back to the podcast. Mad props to Charles for keeping it active and awesome the past two months. So awesome, in fact, we’re gonna start alternating months so you’ll hear him again in November. Like I was saying though, I am naturally a night person so I find actual enjoyment in staying up till 3:00 in the morning making these on Friday nights and after 2 months off, I had plenty of music to pick from.

I tried to keep the podcast from being a facsimile of the radio show and I think I did an okay job of it. There are still some similarities but come on. New Snakehealers, American Aquarium and new-slash-old Frank Turner demand they be played and I just found the Allen Thompson Band and local kids The Black Roses are in heavy rotation in my car so it should be no surprise they’re starting to creep into all my musical products.

Scattered amongst all that is a double scoop of awesome ready to make sweet sweet love to your ear drums. Give it a chance. I think you’ll like it.

Here is the tracklisting and as Otis Gibbs says, thanks for giving a damn.

I was back in the saddle last night after taking a week off and boy howdy it sure felt good. As you can see from the image above, the ninebullets radio stickers came in this week as well. I plan on using them during the next pledge drive so be on the lookout for more info sometime on July about how to get one, should you want one.

Last night’s episode opens with a Doc Watson tune in remembrance of him before launching into a “summer themed” set. The show also features a double dose of one of my favorite new artist finds, McDougall. We get one of his solo songs and follow it up with a track from his project The Brothers Of The Last Watch which also features one of the fellas from Hillstomp. The show also includes new tunes from Hurray For The Riff Raff, The Mastersons, Possessed By Paul James, Otis Gibbs and lots more. If that sounds like the good stuff and you’ve got an hour, go put some ears on the archived stream of the showand thanks for tuning in.

Most of the time you go to the station, do your show and leave. It becomes a routine of sorts. Occasionally you do a show that you really feel good about. Last night was one such show. Not sure what it is that sets some apart from the rest but whatever it is, last night’s has it.

I opened the show with a Lumineers, Mastersons, The District Attorneys set I’d been thinking about doing for a few weeks but wasn’t sure how it would go over with the listeners. While the middle of the show features a brand new Gaslight Anthem track as well as a set featuring some of the bands I am looking forward to seeing at next week’s Tropical Heatwave. Finally, on a whim I decided to close the show with a track from the new OFF! album. That’s probably what put the show over the top for me.

Sound like the good stuff? Then go put some ears on the archived stream of the show.

01. Otis Gibbs – The People’s Day
02. The Lumineers – Ho Hey
03. The Mastersons – You Don’t Know
04. The District Attorneys – Worry About Your Health
05. The Gaslight Anthem – 45
06. Tin Horn Prayer – Stumble
07. Damion Suomi – Ghost

OTIS GIBBS – HARDER THAN A HAMMERED HELL

Apr 062012
 

What do I say about Harder Than A Hammered Hell? Do I say that the rest of the year is competing for 4 spots ‘cause Harder Than A Hammered Hell is guaranteed to be in my Top 5? Or do I say it’s Essential Listening for your soul, like I did with the Willy Tea Taylor album? Do I say that between this album and his last, Joe Hill’s Ashes, Otis has written more substantial, timeless and quality songs than some of the more popular artists in this little scene of ours ever will? All of those things are completely true but when I really think about this album, the thing I really wanna drive across is its wholeness. There is a completeness and deliberateness to the album that deserves to be recognized beyond some trite “all killer no filler” throw away line. This is an album where I don’t just “never skip a track”. It’s an album that I am an active listener during every one of it’s 11 songs. Harder Than A Hammered Hell makes me wanna be a better (less judgemental/cynical) observer of the life and lives around me, and that’s what I really wanted to say about this album.

You should listen to it. You should listen to all of his albums. Right now.

Otis Gibbs – Christ Number 3
Otis Gibbs – Land Of Maybe
Otis Gibbs – Made To Break
