THE IMPORTANCE OF FALLING

"The Importance Of Falling" was a compilation released by Monstro Records in the mid-ninties. It featured lesser known "emo" and "screamo" bands of that time. Some bands featured were Mid Carson July, Jazz Man's Needle, Hose Got Cable, Deckard, and many more. It stands now as a special monument to an era of music that I hold very dear.

THE FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS

After watching the Gram Parsons DVD documentary I was intrigued to listen to music he created. The album that really stood out to me was "The Gilded Palace Of Sin"(1969) that he made while a member The Flying Burrito Brothers. Once you get past the band name you will be exposed to a brilliant mixture of melancholy country and rock. Give this album a try; you just might be surprised. Gram recorded two solo records after leaving the Burritos and before his death in 1973. They are both highly recommended.

DWID HELLION - RADIO

My friend Paul pointed me in the direction of this radio podcast hosted by Dwid Hellion of Integrity. It was on the Washinton, DC internet radio station Dissonance. The program was from Halloween and features Dwid reading poems, playing music, and showcasing his collaborations with Boyd Rice. Highly recommended. I posted the mp3 below but it can also be found on the Dissonance website.
