#NewMusic album of today is #Antifragile by #Ollella (I wonder if this name comes from either "All Ella" or "Ol' Ella"?🤔).

Ellie Barber was on @youtube_nprmusic #TinyDesk, however, her work isn't getting any traction. This is mind blowing to me, since it is so good. Maybe the curse of an #alternative #folk #indiemusic creator.

If you like her #experimental play with her #cello on this 'Antifragile' album, then listen to her debut 'Back Back Back' album as well please. 🎻

Beautiful video clip for an equally beautiful song by Helen Bell (⁠@helenbellmusic⁠) with Xenogon (⁠@xenogon⁠) called “Horsetail” (“the only surviving genus of a family of plants that dates back hundreds of millions of years. These plants are described as living fossils, terrible invasive weeds, or a useful source of materials for organic fungicide, depending on who you ask. Will they survive the next extinction event?”)

As always, I’ll link to Invidious as a proxy to avoid Google/YouTube’s data grabbing and spying:

Should Invidious not be working for you, here’s the YouTube link: youtube.com/watch?v=iImF-FEfrC0

Helen Bell, a red-haired singer and violinist, holds the violin like a guitar in the foreground. Lots of greenery in the background, plus accompanying guitarist and producer Xenogon, a little blurred. Both wear casual clothes in muted blue-brown-grey-ish colours. Xenogon leans on a metre-high wall in front of an old tree.

Fascinating #folklore project: a #map of #folk tunes gathered by Oskar Kolberg, great ethnographer of 19th century, to listen and download. Mostly territories of Commonwealth of Both Nations (that is, today's #Poland, #Lithuania, #Belarus and #Ukraine), but also #Lusatia, #Slovakia, #Slovenia, #Croatia, #BosniaHerzegovina and #Serbia. Sadly, not linked to lyrics, music only, but still a delightful journey.

As Kolberg worked in 19th century, his works obviously do not contain recordings, but the map gives #MIDI, #MusicXML and #EsAC.

Had a good music session last night - our usual small core of free-reed instruments being supplemented by a low whistler, a guitarist and a banjo player; the latter two did a couple of “old time” songs, while the former encouraged us into a brief and enjoyable Northumbrian spree. And of course I took my new smallpipes, which went down well.
I’m looking forward to a get-together to play in the park on Easter Monday ahead of our next regular gathering on the last Tuesday night in April already.

If you’re in or near #BedfordUK and play folk music you should come along - message me for details!

A pub table with an old Hohner pressedwood diatonic accordion and a box of bagpipes on it, along with a couple of beers. You might make out a pair of Anglo concertinas in the background too.

I have a really awesome deal going right now - the next person who orders a quilt from me gets this handmade quilted tote bag made by my very talented mom; she will include this fine piece when she sends the quilt you ordered from her home in New Jersey.

the reverse side of the bag, there is no white strip, just a floral green pocket with the handle of a pair of scissors sticking out

Ben! (Boo!)

Last night I listened to two Vic Chesnutt albums and then the first thing I did when waking up this morning was putting another on. Truly one of the most unique songwriters and singers of his era, I've been a fan since I was a teenager thanks to the endorsement of REM but now feel the need to add most of his discography to my master playlist.
