More exquisitely twisted music from the vanity-press world of the Song Poem! As loons often do, we shift into a political bent on this second half, with odes to Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, and even RICHARD NIXON! This one made me spit three times, actually Danny Thomas spit-takes, all over my screenâand Iâd heard them before! When you hear a voice intone, âGODâ¦in His infinite WISDOMâ¦madeâ¦RICHARD NIXON!,â what can you do but spit? There are catchy numbers like the peppy âYouâre Like Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Potasshiumâ song, the trenchant despair of âBlue Atomsââand the artistic heights and baffling end of Rodney Keith Eskelin, the Master of the Mellotron!

Repenting for last week's travels into the contemporary world
Oct. 4, 2010, 8:38 a.m.
After last week's tribute to freakfolk, weirdgrass, and neo-oldtime, I figured it'd be only fair to keep it pure and rootsy this time. Not fancified recording techniques, not four fingered banjo, no damned jazz chords, no five string fiddles! Just old time, bluegrass, and maybe some raggy numbers.
Enjoy!
