matterless: I Remember You As You Were

I remember you as you were in the last autumn.
You were the grey beret and the still heart.
In your eyes the flames of the twilight fought on.
And the leaves fell in the water of your soul.

Clasping my arms like a climbing plant
the leaves garnered your voice, that was slow and at peace.
Bonfire of awe in which my thirst was burning.

Kanye ripped off my song title. I wrote “Theraflu” in 2001 & recorded it for my album of demos, SO FAR, in 2002. GIMME MY PROPS, KANYE. And some money, maybe? Please? Let’s do a collab sometime. Call me!

Finally, my darling M. Ward escapes the clutches of Deschablah for 5 minutes.

M. Ward: “The First Time I Ran Away”

M. Ward returns to familiar hushed territory this morning with our first taste of his 7th solo record, A Wasteland Companion. “The First Time I Ran Away” arrives steeped in calm, nuanced instrumentation that picks up where 2009’s Hold Time left off well, complete with an animated music video by “Chinese Translation” director Joel Trussell. Enjoy the clip above, and stick around as Ward draws out his vocal on the word “storm” until it dissolves with a chilling yet nerve-settling effect.

So amped for this! “Old LA” and “VD City,” (see the post below this one), are from a forthcoming album of Woody Guthrie’s previously unrecorded lyrics, crafted into crunchy, gorgeous new songs by Jay Farrar (Son Volt), Will Johnson (Centro-matic), Anders Parker (Varnaline), and Yim Yames (My Morning Jacket).

The band and record are called New Multitudes. Record storms the beach on February 28th, in honour of Woody Guthrie’s 100th birthday, on CD, vinyl, and a 2-CD deluxe set on rounderrecords.

I feel dizzy.

Eric Clapton To Release New Album Inspired by Blues Music | The Onion

LOS ANGELES—Musician Eric Clapton announced Wednesday that his next album, Eric Clapton Plays The Blues, would be a collection of songs primarily influenced by blues music, a genre the 66-year-old guitarist said he enjoys very much. “I’ve always been interested in blues music, and this album will really explore that interest,” Clapton told reporters, explaining that many of the new songs would feature long blues guitar solos, repeating 12-bar-blues chord structures, and lyrical themes centered around both getting and continuing to have the blues. “I’m fairly confident about the project, as I plan to sing with a sort of forlorn, bluesy quality in my voice, and I’ll be playing a lot of E, A, and B chords, along with all the blue notes of the scale. Just pure and simple blues, really.” Clapton later admitted that while each track would definitely be inspired by blues music, the final product might actually be more of a blues-rock album.
