James: April 2007

http://mrjamesblog.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

It was the last functioning building in the apocalypse junkyard.'. Wednesday, April 25, 2007. Low - Drums and Guns. At first listen these thirteen songs seem disjointed.

James: Seven Lies - James Lasdun

http://mrjamesblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/seven-lies-james-lasdun.html

It was the last functioning building in the apocalypse junkyard.'. Wednesday, July 15, 2009. Seven Lies - James Lasdun. Exactly how I feel about life itself: I realise: that it has come unaccountably into my possession, somewhat to its own dismay.". The sense of fraternal alienation felt by the Stefan inspire the most vivid, almost autistic series of meditations on nature - the 'intangible pathos' of autumn leaves and the leaf dappled sunlight hitting forest lakes in upstate New York.

The Retread Sessions encourage musicians to ‘re-examine and reconstruct songs outside of the traditional performance locales’. I discovered the project on a tangential path through youTube links nearly a full year after the projects inception. The Retread Films are always rewarding but none more so than two performances by Bill Callahan. 8217; and ‘ Nothing Rises To Meet Me.
