one man's musical odyssey EXPEDITION TO DUBLANDJune 23, 2019
I’ve been chilling out recently to a lot of dub music. That raw unfiltered bass sound has so many good associations for me – this is the music of the street, it’s big, it’s heavy, and I could listen to it all day. The playlist kicks off with a few classic roots and dub riddims before taking it into the 21st century. A vast amount of modern music is influenced by dub in one way or another; but the likes of Congo Natty, Umberto Echo and Dreadsquad keep it real, paying homage to the Jamaican masters while at the same time taking dub music to new, exciting places.Advertisements

SONG LYRICS THAT SPARKLEMay 5, 2019
When did you last hear the lyric to a new song and think ‘that’s extraordinary’. Come to that, how often do you _really_ pay attention to song lyrics ? We may think we’re so sophisticated now, when we listen back to some of the more banal pop songs of the 1950s, but really ? Rock and hip hop music once promised us great things, but once they stopped trying to break new ground, all too often the songs drew on tired, familiar formulae. So here’s a playlist of songs from the 2010s with lyrics that sparkle; that read well on the printed page; that address difficult subjects; that inspire or sadden or provoke thought. They all deserve hearing, but if you’re short of time, skip to the Josh Ritter track – the album was only released last week, but I’m telling you, this is one of the classic songs of the 21st century so far. If you can think of any other recent songs that stand comparison with these, please leave a comment and a Youtube link if you can – I’d love tohear them !
MARY GAUTHIER – THE ORPHAN KING (2010) _My mama held me one time then kissed me goodbye_ _But I still believe in love_ _She never came back and I don’t know why_ _But I still believe in love_ _She passed me her crown on her way out of town_ _But I still believe in love_ _She left me this kingdom to wear it around_ _But I still believe in love_ IRIS DEMENT – THE NIGHT I LEARNED HOW NOT TO PRAY (2012) _When my mom saw my little brother she said you better run and getyour dad_
_And her voice was high and she was shaking so I knew that this wasbad_
_Well we stood out at the mailbox watching her and dad and brotherdrive away_
_And I didn’t waste no time I got down on my knees right there andbegan to pray_
OTIS GIBBS – THE LAND OF MAYBE (2012) _Trouble has a way of finding_ _And you can never shake it off of your trail_ _I try to say what I mean and I keep my nose clean_ _But it’s harder than hammered hell_ MILO – PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICHES (2014) I’m committed to exactly two ideals Keeping my friends from starving and cultivating my pubic garden Whine to god about how life is so dreary Enable the laugh track when watching Big Bang Theory Keep magic beans in your left pocket And speak to old thieves about wristwatches Eat salad leaves in great big swatches WILL VARLEY – CONCEPT OF FREEDOM (2015) _My father said I’m paranoid ‘cos it’s a conspiracy_ _“Don’t think like that boy, you’re bound to go crazy”_ _He got so many chains wrapped round his eyes that he cannot see_ _And he’d rather be blind than to realise he’s never been free_ LUKE JACKSON – THAT’S ALL FOLKS (2016) _It’s clear you were angry_ _But angry at what ?_ _I don’t think that you really knew_ _A lifetime spent searching_ _For that missing piece_ _Which was needed for completing you_ ANNA SHANNON – FOR A KEG OF GOOD BRANDY (2016) _The wife’s sobbing and the guilt keeps you awake_ _Well we brought some trade ashore, we’ll be going back more more_ _And the wreck is lyin’ broadside in the sun_ _And it’s now we will repent at the lives that have been spent_ _And we see the full extent of what we’ve done_Audio Player

A TRANS PLAYLIST
February 24, 2019
OK, let’s get this out of the way : I’m transitioning. So it seems only right for me to put together a playlist of songs with an explicitly transgender theme. As ever, the songs on the list have to be ones that I genuinely want to listen to, so my apologies for not including anything by Laura Jane Grace and Against Me! (which would have been the most obvious pick), as her music doesn’t do much forme.
The first two songs are ones that made a strong impression on me when I was still in my teens. THE KINKS – LOLA (1970) LOU REED – WALK ON THE WILD SIDE (1972) THE WAIFS – BILLY JONES (1996) PLACEBO – BURGER QUEEN (1998) ANTONY AND THE JOHNSONS – FOR TODAY I AM A BOY (2005) JESUS AND HIS JUDGEMENTAL FATHER – KINGS AND QUEENS (2012) NOT RIGHT – FREEDOM OF SPEECH (2014) WRABEL THE VILLAGE (2017) ARO STORM – TRANS RIOT HEART (2018) GRACE PETRIE – BLACK TIE (2018) SHE/HER/HERS – GENDER IS BORING (2018) The hashtag #WeWontBeErased became a rallying point in late 2018 for trans activists seeking to challenge proposals from the Trump administration to redefine gender solely on the genitalia people areborn with.

FOR EVERY COUNTRY, A SONGNovember 11, 2018
My largest and most ambitious music list of all is now online. It’s so large that it needed its own website – https://aroundtheworldin575songs.com/Streamed
on the site are 575 songs from 200 countries. The criteria for choosing the songs is discussed here. I was
looking for music rooted in a country’s past heritage and culture, music that employed traditional instruments. So I generally avoided tracks where electronic instruments were used and imported genres such as beat-heavy pop, R&B, hip hop and reggae: the globalised culture in which past traditions become meaningless. The reason why this project has taken 5 years work is that I also wanted to write a book to discuss the music in more depth. AROUND THE WORLD IN 575 SONGS : TRADITIONAL MUSIC FROM ALL THE WORLD’S COUNTRIES has now been published in paperback, ePub and MOBI. It’s a set of 4 volumes (Vol 1 Europe, Vol 2 Africa, Vol 3 Asia & Oceania, Vol 4 Americas). It’s available to order from major retailers in Europe, North America, Japan, Australia and elsewhere (some buy linkshere ).
The books are aimed at a broad readership – anyone with a passion for exploring other cultures. They’re densely packed with stories and information. If you like to try before you buy, there is a lengthy extract currently available to read on Google Books.
If you have Kindle, Volume 1 is currently available for free in return for leaving a review on Amazon.com. All that you have to do is to register for free membership of the Reading Deals book club , then visit my book link.
I’m hoping to resume normal service on the musictodiefor website inthe New Year.

And don’t forget, all backers receive a playlist as well. This is for one month only until the Indiegogo campaign ends on June 16th. Once the books are published they’ll sell at retailprices.”_
My book’s called AROUND THE WORLD IN 575 SONGS : TRADITIONAL MUSIC FROM ALL THE WORLD’S COUNTRIES, it’s coming out in four volumes, and will be in bookstores by August. A unique feature of the book is that literally every country is covered, from Kazakhstan to Kiribati – and the small countries often prove to be just as fascinating as the more usual suspects. Launching at the same time as the book will be a website where people can listen to all the featured songs. It’s online already, so please drop in and start exploring the music there – https://aroundtheworldin575songs.com/. The price drop is because I want to make the books accessible to as many people as possible, and because I want to encourage folk to buy the books now, during the crowdfunding campaign, to help me to meet the costs of getting all four volumes self-published. So for now this is the main link, it’s my Indiegogo crowdfunding page, where you can watch my video, learn more about the project, and then place your orders ! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/around-the-world-in-575-songs/x/5623937#/ The books can be pre-ordered by choosing from the ‘perks’. Volume 1 is Europe, Vol 2 Africa, Vol 3 Asia & Oceania and Vol 4 Americas, and they’re available as e-books as well as paperbacks. If you wish to ‘try before you buy’, I’ve posted a few brief extracts and a sample chapter (Mali) online. https://foreverycountryasong.wordpress.com/book-extracts/ https://foreverycountryasong.wordpress.com/sample-chapter/ I’m now on Twitter, where I’m treating my followers to a tweet of one song from a different country every day : https://twitter.com/NickWall2018. > Brass band music from #Benin> ?

Each country, and each culture, is special. This is what I’ve tried to show. This is a book with a message, and also a carnival of culture. This week I received this from Sicilian folk singer MatildePoliti :
_“You are really crazy!__It’s great!_
_Thank you very much for letting me know, I already shared on fb … I wish I was you exploring all this music, and I will be enthusiast to follow your guide through it, when I will receive the books!”_ The campaign runs until 16th June.Nick
