A very deep, and enigmatic singer, Lily DeTaeye has been carving out her piece of the music industry with some very distinctive folkish sound songs, then turned "Dream Pop" as of late. A transplant from Des Moines Iowa to New York City, she is still an ambassador for the music scene in the midwest.

She has just released a few singles prepping for the live album at Iowa PBS studio 3. (Link will be below).

She is a prolific songwriter in her own right, taking on the "one song a day" challenge every November, which makes her love, and dread the month, almost as much as I do.

We discussed her lyrics, where they came from, or didn't cause many she can't remember. Working in a music hall that touring artists would rather not be there, also appears in her songs. No subject is taboo for her, just which ones find themselves into her music we ger to hear is the question.

P.I.N.E.S. is the new project of Josh Hight, a motorcity born musician, who conducted this interview late night from his home near Brighton England. He was previously in the early 2000's post punk band "The Detachment Project", which showcased his musical prowess, just impressive there.

They have just released a very moving ethereal EP called "In His Wake", just 4 songs that have a similar undercurrent to them, but each song takes you from an ambient sound of the PNW, to the Fjords of Norway, somehow. He used some Brian Eno in there of silence as an instrument. We even sort of geeked out about that "Absence" of sound loaded up into the tracks. That is enough of a reason to listen to this EP.

He worked with Richard Norris of the 90s electronica band "The Grid", which I was already a fan of, and heard some of it this one.

The subject matter is dark, but easily hits you where you are supposed to feel it. More to come from this project, as they are in process of making more music at the time of reading this.

Jah Wobble is the original bassist for P.I.L. and has played in so many projects since then, you have probably heard him on some album on bass, not knowing it was him.

He was given his name by Sid Vicious, and it stuck. One of the longest lasting punk artists who has gone into the world music genre, he has such trademark bass lines you can tell any of his band's "Deep Space" or "Invaders Of The Heart" or even on Sinead O'Connor's best selling album.

Wobble has just released another solo album called "Jah Wobble Dub Volume 1", where he tells some stories without words, but so much feeling, a true crafts man.

We talked about his music over the last 38 years since I discovered his work with The Edge from U2 in late 1987. He has some great stories to tell I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.
