Fraidy Hole

Fraidy Hole can be downloaded directly by clicking here.

A fraidy hole is what tornado alley Texans call a cellar:

Fraidy Hole
- [Slang] Term for a basement, cellar, or other supposedly protective location where people hide when the tornado shows up for a visit. No part of a mobile home should be used as a fraidy hole, better to find some below-ground protected structure.

1. Screamin' Jay Hawkins Frenzy


2. Yat-Kha: Inna Gada da Vida

3. The Louvin Brothers "Great Speckled Bird" Show me where there's a great speckled bird in the Bible. I've never heard of it, and I'm a preacher's kid.

4.
Steve Fisk "Kennedy Saga(Chapter VII)" from 'Over and Through the Night', 1987

5. B-52s "Song for a Future Generation"

6. "Heigh Ho" from Snow White from Disney

7. Blood, Sweat and Tears "Go Down Gamblin"

8. Jon Spencer Blues Explosion "Can't Stop" from "Now I Got Worry".
Apparently, that's Money Mark on Piano.

9. Carrol Channing "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend"

10. Elliott Smith "Stupidity Tries" from "Figure 8".
A gratifying coda.

11. Roxy Music "The Main Thing"

12. Johnny Cash "What is Truth"

13. Tom Waits "Lord, I've Been Changed" from Orphans, Brawlers....

14. Mogwai "Nick Drake"

15. Gilliam Welch "Everything is Free" Surgically precise condemnation of online sharing. At least that's how I interpret it. I recently ran across this
essay at the McSweeney's site that discuss the same subject. So it's not just me after all.

16. Radiohead "Paranoid Android"

17. Rod McKuen "Listen to the Warm"

18. Jon Brion "Revolving Door" from the "I heart Huckabees" soundtrack

19. Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant "Tulsa Twist" 1962. Strange bowed something moaning low behind...

20.
Arty FufkinCrazy Logic (Gnarls Barkley vs. Supertramp vs. Rockwell) - Melbourne, Australia from Best of Bootie 2006 . My friend Branan hipped me to this cool bootleg comp. His great podcast can be found here.

21. Tom T. Hall "I Love" Giving Jonathan Richman a run for the shorty bus.

22. The Wolfgang Press "Birdie Song" and

23. Wolfgang Press "Dreams and Light"
from "Queer"

24. Roxy Music again "India" from "Avalon"

25. A thing I put together. Music from soundtrack to "Mysterious Skin", "Memories Returning" Robin Guthrie and Harold Budd. "Mysterious Skin" is an impressive, difficult movie I'm not about to recommend to anyone.
Spoken words: Werner Herzog from
"Burden of Dreams" the Les Blank documentary about the making of "Fitzcarraldo". Watching him say this is much better than listening to it alone, with his sparkly dead eyes as he sneers at the rain forest.
"Burden of Dreams" is in some ways better than its subject.
It now is packaged on the DVD (you can get from Seattle Public Library) with 'Werner Herzog eats his (own?) shoe", a legendary movie that I thought I'd only read about for the rest of my life. It's not that the film is that great, but that I could only read about it in Film Comment in 1986, and now...

segue way into:

26. Elliott Smith "Bye" from "Figure 8"

  1. Is it true that Gillan Welch is god? E plurbus union?
    Ah, to listen and learn, thank you for doing this.

  2. PS I suck, my Fizcaradlo video went back to SPL before I went to overdue.land. If only they believed in instant recall for such items.

    That Gillian Welch song is a huge, effective guilt trip.
    Did you know she did an album with Robyn Hitchcock?
    And did you know that I haven't listened to yet?
    But oh, I intend to.

    The doc on the making of Fitzcarraldo, the Burden of Dreams is in some ways better than its subject.

    It now is packaged on the DVD (you can get from our mutual friend SPL) with 'Werner Herzog eats his (own?) shoe", a legendary movie that I thought I'd only read about for the rest of my life. It's not that the film is that great, but that I could only read about it in Film Comment in 1986, and now...

    You're welcome and tanx for lissuning.

  4. Thanks for reposting this, Scott. Great podcast, as always.

    You might want to check out some other online storage sites, like box.com. Most are less kludgetastic and yacht ad heavy than the files-upload.com site, and have up to a gig of free space!

    Keep 'em comin'...

  5. Thanks, I'll look into the box.com. An alternative to podomatic might be necessary too....
