I Learned It From You

"You talkin' to me?"

Just a cab driver tryin' to find good music.

A grateful, lucky songwriter that really is just thankful to still be here. I love making music and every bit of it has been fun to make. I’m also a beach bum at heart.

Music is ‘First and Last and Always’ ;)

I have been sharing my multifaceted musical  interests online, here since 2014 but I’ve always played music for others  I have some community radio DJ training & experience too, locally & in northern Ontario 
Streaming on SoundCloud is for my own personal entertainment  It feeds my obsession with new music while soothing my love of past favourites, covers & live versions    
A play on the story of my living.   A soundtrack to life, noted with the bridging of beats, rhythms & melodies. My Segway into being more me than merely words could ever achieve   

Thanks for following & enjoying this extensive ongoing long-play of repostings, in intended flow or shuffle, with my favourite artists   Artist albums are included in the likes   Also,  check out my mixed ‘ tapes’ of favourite artists, as they often get my personal old school Mixed Playlist attention ;) 

The radio was always on in my mother’s kitchen   I remember I started putting albums on my older sister’s turntable at about 7   However, I was surly listening to Jazz, Country & Classical from my Mum’s womb   By 11, I started borrowing classic albums from the library & bought my first album, Houses of the Holy by Led Zeppelin, in the summer of 1973   

Music is my connector, my heart’s language, my joy, my ‘main squeeze’.  Music is healing & has been my main mental health therapy provider   A connector & communicator of my existence & emotional expression, all the days of my life 

Sincerely, ( Psychedelic ) Rock & Roll X  Naomi

Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack of Wye Oak have spent most of their lives in Baltimore, Maryland. But after two years of constant touring with Civilian, their highly lauded 2011 album, they landed on opposite sides of the country with an unforeseeable future ahead. Despite this newfound uncertainty, the two bandmates embraced their physical distance, passing ideas back and forth, allowing new work to evolve in their respective solitudes. Shriek is Wye Oak’s fourth full-length and the culmination of their intent to express the emotional and intuitive self by acting out animalistic exclamations through cathartic release. It is their most personal and confident declaration yet.

Newly inspired by playing bass, Jenn took up songwriting in a setting where the guitar did not dictate harmonic boundaries or require a call-and-response relationship with her voice, a hallmark of previous Wye Oak records. With her phrasing freed, now it is often Andy who interacts with Jenn’s vocals, playing syncopated and meditative keyboard parts, and the duo’s collaborative arrangements provide a backdrop in which both the arcs of melodies and the new rhythmic elements flourish.

To engineer, mix, and co-produce, they brought in Nicolas Vernhes of the Rare Book Room in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, whose inventive and forward-thinking approaches to production complemented their new direction. The result is a record of indisputable humanity. Shriek is a complete narrative of disorientation, loss, renewal, and empowerment.
