Annie Keating (singer/songwriter, musician) is on the show to chat about John Prine’s “I Remember Everything” and her new album, Bristol County Tides! But, before we get into it, a question for the ages is prompted—who’s hotter: Paul Newman or Robert Redford?

When the dust settles, we discuss Annie’s pick, “I Remember Everything” by the late, great John Prine. Prine is a titan of folk music and you should familiarize yourself if you’re not already a fan.

Annie shares how Prine was a creative catalyst for the songs on her album, spending time outside of Brooklyn, learning to sail, and being honest with her music. That honestly hits another level when we get to hear what it’s like writing a song for someone and what it’s like to play that for them. Then we get introspective and try to pick out our number one albums of all time!

This week we’re supporting The Jalopy Theatre and School of Music in Brooklyn. This school celebrates folk music through festivals, classes, and outreach to local schools. Their hope is to support local and visiting artists all while educating students and whoever attends their shows. So join us in supporting The Jalopy’s cause!

Keep up with Annie on Twitter and Instagram. You can check out Bristol County Tides on Bandcamp and Spotify.

The New Pornographers & Mogwai with Evan & Pat

Surprise! Here’s a bonus episode that was mostly an excuse for Evan and Pat to catch up. They revisit the conversation that sparked Repeater in the first place. “What’s new? What have you been listening to?” The guys chat about Covid, anticipating vaccines and their plans when fully vaccinated. The glimmer of hope for a return to “normalcy” lends a bit of positivity to the understandably tough year.

First up, Evan explores The New Pornographers’ classic “Letter From An Occupant.” He describes how it has the “edge” he was looking for in Indie rock, the boys discuss Canadian supergroups, and dive into the bonkers lyrics. Plus, they shout out the recent Worriers cover and how much of a treat The Old Friends EP is in general—a delightful set of covers to be a little light in a dark year.

Next up, Pat brings a live version of “Hunted by a Freak” by Mogwai. The news of their album As the Love Continues hitting #1 on the charts inspired him to explore their archives and uncovered a collection of tracks from Peel Sessions on BBC Radio 1. Pat talks about vocoders, patience with instrumental music, and what the song title ‘means.’

The privilege of getting vaccinated helped to inspire the idea to promote charities with the show. This week Evan and Pat invite you to join them in donating to Astoria Mutual Aid. Started at the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, Astoria Mutual Aid aids the people of Western Queens. They assist those in need with groceries, picking up prescriptions, baby supplies, and most recently assisting with vaccination appointments. Solidarity forever!
