Storytellers & PoetsTournament of Hearts - The Weakerthans (mp3) Sax Roehmer #1 - The Mountain Goats (mp3) My college poetry professor gave me fair warning. Two hours of it, to be exact.

Hey Rosetta! – "Welcome" [Song Review]It's wrong, but it can't be helped. Hey Rosetta! are an indie folk-rock band from Canada and therefore a comparison with The Weakerthans is inevitable in my mind. But although "Welcome" is a journey that begins with a Weakerthans-esq spontaneous bang, there is an air of banality throughout the whole song.Pure Grain Audio2 May 2012

Open Doors by valrusA love song, of sorts, in repose. Started out stylistically inspired by the Weakerthans' "Without Mythologies," but kind of turned into its own thing, mercifully, since I'm no John K. Samson. Still probably the most "poetic" lyric I've written, and initially it was even more so, but I mangled it some so the verses would have a little more internal rhyme at the expense of metrical consistency. The coda's something I noodled up while working in the key of the main part of the song and liked too much to let it go to waste.MeFi Music9 April 2012
