Interlude

Hey Syphilites,

When I'm not busy scouring the internet for one-man-bands I spend my time with creative writing. Allow me to do a quick plug for my other stuff: you can find most of my stuff, or links to it, on my other blog: bluesfiction.blogspot.com 

A recording of one my poems is now online. It's called Winter Glass. Check it out below

Hasil Adkins - The Lost Album

Hey Syphilites,


Any of you Hasil Adkins nuts would've already come across this a long time ago: Hasil Adkins' Lost Album. Given to The Hound for his radio show in the mid 90s, he posted it on his blog back in February 2009, but for those who have not heard or experienced this before please find the original post here. 


The link on The Hound Blog is down but you can find it here at WFMU.

Zombilly Videocast # 05 - Onemanbands

A videocast from zombilly.blogspot.com. The website, and a lot of the video, is in Portuguese (and Spanish) so I can't tell you much more about him/her/them, but if you check their myspace it is clear these are one-man-band afficionados too! Long live Brazil!


A battle of one-man-bands! Awesome!



According to the description these are the one-man-bands in the video: 


'Bands: El Monstro Orquestra (México), Amazing Onemanband (Uruguai), The Fabulous GoGo Boy From Alabama (SP), O Lendário Chucrobillyman (PR) and Chuck Vilence & His Onemanband (SC).'


(here is another post about the event in Portuguese)

Hasil Adkins over at Deep Blues

It's shameful, but so far I have not posted once on the father of all one-man-bands, Hasil Adkins, but Elizabeth Bissette over at Country Music Pride wrote a pretty good article back in 2008. Now Rick Saunders from Deep Blues interspersed this with some very good videos of Hasil. 

So surf on over there and read and watch this great post. 

And subscribe to Deep Blues while you are over there!

Chris King - Bexar County EP + This New Almanac EP (Free download)

Hey Syphilites,

I came across this one via A Truer Sound, a website that should be part of your music news foraging every day. Chris King wants you to have his two EP's for free. Nice laid-back folk-country. Just what you need as the temperatures are going up, or down, depending on which hemisphere you are on. Download them here.
