  4. Having a great time rooting around in my bookmarks today. Thrasher is an Inuk singer-songwriter, recorded this debut in the 70s that was then re-reissued by Light in the Attic in 2015 following the interest in the compilation they had released the previous year, Native North America (Vol. 1): Aboriginal Folk, Rock, and Country 1966-1985. I have the comp queued up next...

  6. 'I had no-one to talk to': 92yo Peter is trying to save his dying language
    By Katherine Smyrk

  7. I heard this song on WMPG's show, #TheWeavers with #LisaSockabasin. What a great lead-up to today's #DemocracyNow broadcast (Weavers is at 11:30am, while Democracy Now airs at Noon).

    "You provided us a home; our conduct is shameful
    Momma! We need you now more than ever
    I can't believe the way we treated you; better late than never
    I've taken you for granted but from here and now I cherish you
    And this my open letter to show the pain that I share with you
    You've given us a life, my brothers make you hurt
    But all they see is dollar signs when stealing out your purse
    Man, they never taken the time to see you for what you really worth
    But the damage done is permanent it can't be reversed

    Oh Momma! You really made some shady people
    You've given them the world but like the sun you see no evil
    Momma D was my teacher but she gone now
    I know where I belong now; my mother's keeper
    So Momma I refuse to see you die this way
    I take your pain to fuel my fame to fight the game another day

    It's oil mines and pipelines; show me what the cancer is
    Injected in your veins I'll tell you what the answer is
    Momma, Momma!
    (Wade, in the water)
    Momma, Momma!
    (Wade, in the water, children)"

  14. Self-Titled Summer | A Tribe Called Red (2012, Cayuga First Nation/Mohawk/Nipissing First Nation)

    Welcome back, all! Hope you listened to some great music while I took a break for a few weeks.

    We’re going to keep it simple at 1001 Other Albums headquarters for the next few months, so I’ve decided to begin a new spotlight series that will stretch the entirety of the upcoming summer season (well, the upcoming season for where I’m geographically located, sorry Southern Hemisphere friends). As you might guess from the title of this post, the “Self-Titled Summer” (or, the alternate name for those of us who like thumbing through a thesaurus: “Eponymous Estivation”) series will take a look at albums in The List that are self-titled. We’ve already looked at a few of them but still have about 50 left, so we’re going to fit in as many as we can before we hit the fall equinox. That said, we’re also starting a couple weeks prior to summer solstice, so there are no real rules, yolo, etc. etc.

    Anyway, for each spotlight in this series, I’m going to try to keep it basic. Self-titleds are typically debut albums, so they’re often the sonic record of a band/musician finding their sound – or a newly solo musician looking to forge their own path -, making many of these albums springboards into discography deep dives. So rather than attempting to address the entire context of the album in the write-up, I’ll just point out some brief(ish) facts and let you, reader, dig further if said facts strike your fancy.

    And so, as we’ll be doing this in alphabetical fashion, first up in our Self-Titled Summer is number 1014 on The List, submitted by myself (buffyleigh).

    • Point(s) of origin: Formed in 2007, this is A Tribe Called Red’s first studio album. Band members on this release are Bear Witness (of the Cayuga First Nation), DJ NDN (of the Nipissing First Nation), and DJ Shub (Mohawk, of the Six Nations of the Grand River). In 2021, the band will change their name to The Halluci Nation.
    • Tasting notes: Their unique sound is labelled “powwow-step” (or, “electric powwow”), a mix of dubstep, electro, dancehall, reggae, First Nations music (esp. vocals, drumming), and (as may be guessed from the play on ‘A Tribe Called Quest’ in the original name) hip hop.
    • Standout track: While not really representative of the rest of the album, “Woodcarver” is a harrowing track, featuring soundbites around the 2010 police shooting of Indigenous woodcarver John T. Williams in Seattle.[1]
    • Where are they now?: The band is now a duo of Bear Witness and Tim “2oolman” Hill (Mohawk, of the Six Nations of the Grand River), based out of Ottawa. They’re currently in the middle of a short US tour – June 6 in Portland, ME, June 7 in Burlington, VT, then Seattle and Portland in July.

    Happy listening!

    "The Halluci Nation, comprised of Bear Witness and Tim “2oolman” Hill, the acclaimed Indigenous Producer/DJ duo (formerly A Tribe Called Red)— have solidified their place as a groundbreaking force in contemporary music.

    "Formed in Ottawa, Canada, The Halluci Nation have garnered international acclaim for their innovative fusion of traditional #IndigenousMusic with genres like dubstep, hip-hop, and drum & bass. Their distinctive sound not only celebrates Indigenous heritage but also disrupts the mainstream, by addressing the complex conversation surrounding the modern-day #Indigenous experience."
