I wanted to put this in this weeks show, but because it is 10 minutes long (and worth every second) I chose to put on the site in video. This is one of my all time favorites, and the story at the end is a nice addition to the song. I have always been a fan of Storytellers, and what artists have to say about the meanings to their songs.

I decided today that because their will be a delay on getting the show out on Monday this week due to “life”, that we would keep the show going with a video request from our listeners. Today’s Video request comes in from Paul Swansen from Denver, CO. Want to follow Paul on Twitter, here is the LINK

I talked about this movie at the end of Episode 80, and I am disturbed and interested all at the same time to see this. I like the vintage look to the film and the music that is in this clip. I hope that the movie delivers on the big screen.
Filmmaker Morgan Dews was very close to his grandmother Allis, but it wasn’t until after her death in 2001 that he became aware of an astounding archive she’d amassed throughout the 1960s. Filled with startlingly intimate and candid audio recordings detailing her family’s increasingly turbulent lives, the collection also contained hundreds of silent home movies, photographs and written journals. Using only these found materials, Dews has fashioned a searing family portrait that affords fly-on-the-wall access to one family’s struggles amid an America on the verge of dramatic transformation. Must Read After My Death follows Allis, her husband Charley and their four children in Hartford, Connecticut. Charley’s work takes him to Australia four months each year, so the couple purchases Dictaphone recorders as a way to stay in touch throughout Charlie’s extended absences. A modern woman at least a decade ahead of her time, Allis struggles against conformity –against the conventional roles of wife and mother. She finds the recordings cathartic and, with the family’s cooperation, incorporates them into their everyday existence. When the family turns to psychologists and psychiatrists, their strife increases and the recordings turn progressively darker — even desperate. All the while, Dews employs the family’s many home movies and the seemingly placid, typically American facade that they convey, as visual counterpoint to the raw and sobering tape recordings.
TGIF… If you haven’t noticed, I am posting a video on Friday’s to get you through till I have the show ready to post. This is a classic one with a “load” of adult humor in it. It should go over well with the gamers who play the Wii.
This is just a little of what went on last night on Sound Check… Joaquin needs to get off the ride that he is on…This is as close to going to a nude beach and asking where the coat check is…wow.
