never letting go

friends,

welcome to tuesday night, and episode 254. tonight brings us to a few songs by friends patrick kobernus and brent calderwood, along with some thoughts on the 2010 film adaptation of the kazuo ishiguro novel never let me go . if you have a chance, i really hope you can take a listen. :)

love,
russell

ps – if you don’t already know it, kazuo ishiguro’s earlier novel remains of the day is incredibly worth your time.

a handful (plus one)

friends,

welcome to tuesday night and episode 251. tonight brings us to a handful (+1) of songs recorded in my kitchen this past sunday morning. they came out in the spur of the moment, and i haven’t listened to them until just now with you – which may be a good or bad thing (??) – can’t quite tell yet. :) either way, i’m very thankful that you’re here, and that you've chosen to share this and listen. it means a lot to me.

the songs were/are:
1-in other words
2-paper boat
3-yellow leaf
4-three guns
5-i know the world
6-intentions aint s***

thank you again for being here. really.

love,
russell

ps – if you don’t already know him, mark eitzel is one of my favorite songwriter/performers. his song last harbor is sad and perfect.

pps – and ...this song... may be the most beautiful one ever written.
