Live performance by Gabriel Kahane
 
With the release of his "Craigslist Lieder" Gabriel Kahane created the perfect blur between mundane social media and mock artsong. Since then, Kahane has created increasingly gorgeous chamber-pop, showcasing his sweet vocal style, but always finding the beauty and humor in life. Gabe's latest album, "The Ambassador," draws inspiration from "Bruce Willis’ hair, detective fiction, modernist architecture, and race riots... a meditation on the underbelly of Los Angeles." Gabriel Kahane played live on WFMU.

Hi Irene, hello one and all, belated Happy 4th of July to everyone across "The Pond"

Hi, Irene! Schedule opened up today finally in a fortnight.

Really looking forward to the Gabriel Kahane set.

Wow, that piano interior is something else! Looks like "stone crabs" in a literal sense. Hi, Sean!
Avatar 🎃 Mon. 7/7/14 12:07pm Sean in Bristol UK:

Hey Kat, did you have a fab celebratory weekend?
Avatar Mon. 7/7/14 12:08pm kat330:

[getting off phone with Philo] Yes indeed, thanks! Cannot remember a 4th weekend with weather more ideal than we had -- THurs. - today still (although temps are creeping up to 90 F again today)
Avatar Mon. 7/7/14 12:11pm kat330:

Do you Brits celebrate any specific day as your Independence Day? I know about Guy Fawkes, but wonder if some other? Magna Carta Day? ;)

the shortest way between your house and the fun spot is not always coincident with the link between an ice cream truck and some semen monk wrestling event
Avatar 🎃 Mon. 7/7/14 12:15pm Sean in Bristol UK:

@Kat, we should follow your lead and have some kind of "day", our Patron saint is celebrated on April 23rd, no National Holiday, diddly squat really,
  Mon. 7/7/14 12:16pm KP:

Happy Summer, Irene
Avatar Mon. 7/7/14 12:17pm kat330:

@Sean: Perhaps it only goes to show that NO one (excl. the HRE) puts England in shackles (or a corner). Otherwise though, I thought you folks have plenty of "bank holidays."

Hi Everybody! Just getting set up for a live performance wiht Gabriel Kahane. Glad you're enjoying the music!
Avatar Mon. 7/7/14 12:26pm kat330:

If this is the new mic causing troubles for many, it certainly sounds *great* on you, I.

I get the Soundcheck Podcast, really looking forward to hearing Juana on that show.

A fab track from a corker of an album, Elysian Fields rock.

this esmerine track is really nice

Avatar 🎃 Mon. 7/7/14 1:11pm Sean in Bristol UK:

@Kat, what is LA like, have only been though LAX but it is on my radar as the ballparks are on my 'still to visit' list.
Avatar Mon. 7/7/14 1:11pm kat330:

Whoa! -- in its surrounding context, wild!
Avatar Mon. 7/7/14 1:15pm kat330:

@Sean: Not enough time or "paper" for that! ;) Arriving in November from Boston, it was supernally magical at the get-go. Some aspects remained so -- like going from playing in the snow up in the mountains to playing in the surf all in an hour's drive. Traffic headaches are not exaggerated, and there are plenty of other demerits, but all-in-all, I sure preferred it over to Chicago. (where I moved to afterwards)

@Sean: Oh, and if my mother had had *her* way after WWII and remained in L.A., where she awaited my dad's return from the S. Pacific, I would have been born there. She *loved* the L.A. of the '40s.

Omg is this guy behind A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant?
Avatar Mon. 7/7/14 1:29pm kat330:

Really enjoyed that "Villains" track. I'm hearing a lot of lyrics about swindles and selfishness -- no lack of it in LA to be sure -- but I encountered so much more of that in Chicago and continuing on down here to my hometown, from the "upright Christian" community especially.
Avatar Mon. 7/7/14 1:30pm kat330:

Gabriel's path doesn't sound all the far off from Randy Newman's.

Musso & Frank's! Iconic martinis.

Hi guys, listening all the way in The Netherlands, Europe. Just looked up the building on the corner of Third and 3rd in Brooklyn. That's a pretty lonely looking house.
Avatar 🎃 Mon. 7/7/14 1:39pm Sean in Bristol UK:

@Willem, rooting for your boys against Argentina
Avatar Mon. 7/7/14 1:40pm kat330:

There's a symmetry to the WC finals, with two adjacent European countries facing two adjacent S. American countries, n'est-ce pas?

nice photos Irene thanks for the share
Avatar 🎃 Mon. 7/7/14 1:41pm Sean in Bristol UK:

This set from Gabriel is a joyous affair, please come over to the UK.
Avatar 🎃 Mon. 7/7/14 1:42pm Sean in Bristol UK:

The perfect final, Brazil-Netherlands
  Mon. 7/7/14 1:45pm willem:

Thanks Sean!

Yes Sean, I've been urging him to do the same for The Netherlands.

I was in LA after and gone before a lot of these memorable events Kahane has chronicled. [Nov '77 through Jan '89 was my stint]

Yes, thank you Gabriel, and thank you, Irene for making it so.

Thank you, Gabriel, a wonderful set.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Mon. 7/7/14 2:04pm Irene Trudel:

Glad you all liked the live set! I've been a fan of Gabe's for a number of years now and am so glad we were able to make this happen.
  Mon. 7/7/14 2:07pm willem:

Thank you very much, Irene. I too have been following his work since his first album. Underberg still makes me cry whenever I listen to it. That building in Brooklyn you mentioned sort of reminds me of that song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Mon. 7/7/14 2:13pm Irene Trudel:

You're right about Underberg, willem. Sadly beautiful. Thanks for mentioning there's a picture of taht building in Gowanus. For many years it stood alone on that corner,saved I think by landmark status. www.flickr.com...
Avatar Mon. 7/7/14 2:13pm dale:

loved the live set irene. on an aside, how is the radio station up in roxbury? is it all farm reports and npr or worth seeking out?
Avatar Mon. 7/7/14 2:15pm kat330:

@Irene: Noted you corrected the typo on Ghost -- maybe the one on "Villians", too? :)

Speaking of gardens, ours just produced its first sunflower bloom today, yay.

Admittedly, I was here for Gabriel. But it's a nice setlist (love Laura Nyro), so I'm adding your station to my streaming radio folder. It's 20:25 here now and I still need to make some dinner, so bye for now.

@Willem, another member of the expanding Trukeepers family, groovy.
Avatar Mon. 7/7/14 2:31pm slugluv1313:

beautiful beautiful show, Irene! and INSPIRING, too! :)
i think it was Gabriel's set, gave me that extra OOMPH! to dig out my old guitar -- she needs to be cleaned up and re-strung, but still okay after all these years
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
and WELCOME, willem, to the joys of WFMU!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member Mon. 7/7/14 2:35pm Irene Trudel:

@dale, WIOX has its highs and lows. As with any station there will be some things good and some bad. I think a few of the evening shows are pretty good. Tuesday at 10pm my friend John Savory does a great freeform-ish show www.wioxradio.org...

@slugluv: Good on ya! My guitar has weathered 46 years moving all around the country with me. Needed a new bridge a couple of years ago, but otherwise in great shape.
  Mon. 7/7/14 2:39pm tomp:

what was the name of the documentary that you discussed earlier depicting an account of how LA has portrayed itself historically through cinema?
  Mon. 7/7/14 2:41pm tomp:

ie- the villainy of the modern?

@tomp, I'm going to have to go back and listen to what Gabe told me. I'll post it on the playlist comments after I'm off the air.

Avatar Tue. 7/8/14 10:43am Van in DC:

Sharon!

Tarifa! What a FANTASTIC song and album (Are We There)!!

To me, the final lyrics of this song are quite an excellent summary of the entire album: To Figure It Out. Which is what I think this entire album is about...Sharon trying to figure out the balance of life, etc. with being an artist. And a touring artist at that.

Tarifa was a welcome Time Out for her but I think it really brought home to her the struggle of, well, figuring it out.
