Humans have always been confronted with the act of embracing a new technology. Whether wholeheartedly, with hope and excitement, fearfully, or we've plumb dragged our feet, we've gotten there just the same. "Cradle Your Device" is a way of putting a title on what we've had do through the ages in order to survive. It is also a social commentary on what happens when a tool is taken too closely into our bosom. 

"A real songwriter is an individual concerned. He or she is as aware of what's happening around, what's going on inside; he or she is a dreamer, a futurist; when it comes to his or her craft there is structure to make a report. The work may rest in composing something that will last, yet at the same time make a splash. Having been raised on the Great American Songbook, I am rooted in the ideals of the songwriters of yesteryear: relatable lyrics in three minutes time or less. 

I don't think of ideas, I search for them. There's motion. I know the more my body is stressed the more endorphins are released. This creates a natural high. When my mind is clear I can focus and stay focused longer on my thoughts, problems and the future. There's humanity. I like to people-watch. I enjoy spotting color patterns, trends; watching interactions, hearing laughs. My inspection, then, switches to the problems of others. I am fortunate to have to depend upon public transportation. There's plenty of walking, plenty of people, and lots of opportunity for idea plucking." - Tom Brosseau, 2013

Taken from the album Grass Punks (Tin Angel Records), Brosseau's first solo release in 5 years and his 7th studio album to date. Themes of the album include emptiness of a false dream, loyalty, betrayal and perseverance.

Tom Brosseau - Cradle Your Device

30) Chris Smither 'Sunshine Lady'

"Flood Plains" taken from Boomgates' debut album 'Double Natural' out on Bedroom Suck.

Boomgates started as a couple of friends having a loose Thursday evening sing and strum on the couch. It felt good. So more friends were invited along to the sporadic jam sessions. It soon became obvious that this crew were now a proper band in their own right. Something like a mix of Big Star, Camper Van Beethoven, Towns Van Sant, The Velvet Underground, The Church and probably a heap of something else thrown in on top, Boomgates boasts members of Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Twerps, Dick Diver and about a million other awesome projects. Double Natural is their first long player.

On their most refined and ruefully elegant album, Gun Outfit perfect their incandescent sonic signature: a dusky, canyon-cult blues fueled by melodic dual-guitar weaving and seductive male/female incantations at zero hour. It’s the nocturnal sound of desert-damaged L.A. burnout, a soured American surrealism in rock and roll creole: white line fever, paint fume flashbacks, a stranger wading out alone into the black surf.

Bones & Beeker "Oh Lord" (Wax Poetics Records)

Written, Recorded: PJ Sauerteig (Slow Dakota)
Recorded, Produced, Mixed: Sahil Ansari
Mastered: Greg Calbi

Lyrics:
He cried the way I finally cried 
A week after my grandpa died 
A week after my grandpa died;
We buried him out beside his wife!
We buried him out beside his wife!

"Jesus," I said: "What's the matter?
You have plenty of money to buy
Everything in this silver store..."
"That's not it at all," he said:
"That's not it at all, at all, at all:"

"I made a mistake: I told everyone
That I love them equally;
That they're all the same to me.
What a foolish thing to do - 
Boy, it shows how little I know you!"

"I should have made my Book exclusive -
Only sold in SoHo stores,
Bouncers at the golden doors - 
Then a great big line would form! 
A bigger line than Heaven's had for years!"

"Open arms don't sell well these days, anymore.
Why you worship scarcity 
Is such an awful mystery;
It looks like Dad made way too many
It looks like Dad made way too many keys."


Slow Dakota - "I Saw Christ Crying in Hermès" (Single)

Third Man Records is delighted to introduce you to the purebred, blue-ribbon chamber-pop wunderkinds known heretofore AND henceforth as Sun Seeker. Native to Nashville and no strangers to musical basements, bars, and busy backyards, Alex Benick, Austin Edwards, Asher Horton and Ben Parks have whipped up one HELL of a debut single and another fresh addition to our catalog and theirs. Produced by the inimitable Buddy Hughen (Tristen) and mastered by Nashville's best set of ears John Baldwin, the single itself stems not only from recent a studio session across town, but is also the culmination of years of practice and pretty much CONTINUOUS performance since maybe... like... their freshman year of high school? Not to be that guy (but damn it to the jaws of hell if it isn’t the truth), these guys are, uh, totally ace. How did we not notice sooner?
