This morning I stumbled upon a BBC documentary about gospel singer and guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe. It looks like the thing is posted on Youtube, but I’m wondering if it’s somehow available as a DVD. She’s someone I’ve been wanting to learn more about for some time, so I’m pretty excited. The documentary is part of privatefender‘s channel – there’s quite a bit of interesting stuff up there. Most of the documentary is posted to Youtube, although it appears the end or final section is missing.
We are learning this in guitar. I will defeat this m-fing song if it kills me. I hate that Keith Levene looks so nonchalant as he plays the guitar part. Grr.
Ah, youtube, what would I do without you? Or you, NPR?
Anyway, here’s a lovely Tiny Desk Concert featuring our next interviewee, Jana Hunter, playing with her band Lower Dens. They don’t play “A Dog’s Dick,” but they do play the equally dirty-sounding “Two Cocks…” as well as the beautiful “I Get Nervous,” another song that makes it into my personal playlists more than is probably healthy.
I have had some requests to interview Nina Canal of Ut, so I am going to try to do that. But until then, here is a cool interview over on the Youtubes with Canal and Robin Crutchfield. She talks about the 70s New York art scene and getting her first guitar.
