Talk Music Talk with boice

For any music lover, you have to admire someone who gets to spend their days in full-music submersion. Case in point, Bob Kosovsky. He's the curator of New York Public Library's Rare Books & Manuscripts Music Division. The Music Division is a genre-spanning public library that's home to a music clipping inventory (featuring over 46,000 names), more than 100,000 photographs and access to the papers of innovative artists like John Cage and Meredith Monk plus many more discoveries. The music library isn't just a resource hub for scholars and journalists doing research, it's also for the music geek or a tourist who wants to watch a taped performance of a Broadway show. Bob also teaches music theory through the Extension Division of Mannes College/The New School for Music and has been a Wikipedia editor since 2006.

From the start of her career, Nellie McKay made it abundantly clear that music wouldn't be the only device she'd utilize to be outspoken and provocative. Along with her genre-defying 2004 debut, Get Away From Me, her politics dared you to shy away from her intentions, whether it was for the environment, animal welfare or feminism. In the past dozen years, Nellie released five more eclectic studio albums including last year's My Weekly Reader, an album of 60's covers with themes of drugs and politics. Incidentally, the ensuing twelve years have not tempered her activism; Nellie is still fighting for the causes she's passionate about including her tireless, on-the-ground campaigning for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Our conversation took place on the eve of the New York primary, where ultimately Sanders would lose to Hillary Clinton.

Israeli trio Kadawa have been performing for a little under a year in their current incarnation of Tal Yahalom, Almog Sharvit and Ben Silashi. On guitar, bass and drums respectively, Kadawa's music is a collision of jazz and rock rooted in both mindbending improvisation and original composition elements. Between their organic interplay and prowess, it's hard to imagine that they haven't been playing together for years. This podcast features two songs from Kadawa's debut album which comes out in the fall.

When the title of your first album is i am DAJ, it's a proud mission statement representing both your simplicity and boldness. Born DeShawn Aaron Jenkins, DAJ traversed many journeys and evolutions to produce a full-length project that represents the summation of his hard-won life experiences. The debut release is also a masterclass in perfect album sequencing with songs that explore electronica, acoustic soul and house music with DAJ's vocals as the (un)common denominator. For anyone who claims "good" music isn't made anymore, submit a copy of i am DAJ as their research assignment. The podcast episode features two songs from the album.

Singer/Songwriter Paul Weinfield's spiritually-minded essays began as an intersection between music and meditation that happened to garner a sizable Facebook following. The synthesis makes sense considering music has been an integral part of his life including writing songs on his guitar at age nine and meditating helped him cope with both health issues and a 10-year writers' block. On the other side of these past challenges, the New York-native released six albums under his Tam Lin project and also teaches meditation. Paul is currently contributing to the forthcoming album from Fairytales for the Fatherless plus working on a 2016 solo release.

When a musician claims Prince, Steely Dan and Bob Dylan as a few of their influences, it's quite possible to expect a derivative hodgepodge from said musician's output. In the case of singer/ songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Ryan Thompson, those brilliant touchstones get filtered through a distinctive point of view with Feign Pathos. The enthrallingly-named moniker is Ryan's vehicle to showcase his slinky, soulful voice as it carves out a stirring path regardless of the setting. Whether it's the electronica foundation of the single "Sophisticated Lady" or with his acoustic solo performances, Ryan's brew of R&B and alternative music is evocative yet personal. He's currently perfecting Feign Pathos' forthcoming debut EP.

Mike Sniper's independent record label, Captured Tracks, was founded with $10k from selling his power-pop record collection and two releases: Dum Dum Girls' 2009 debut and his own project, Blank Dogs (2008). Since then, he's turned the Brooklyn imprint into one of the premier go-to places for exciting new artists and reissues of previously hard-to-find treasures. From homegrown acts like Mac DeMarco and DIIV to career retrospectives from Milk-n-Cookies, the mainly vinyl label continues to expand its influence and musical diversity with Mike's creation of the Omnian Music Group. This recent endeavor consists of nine sister labels that exist to produce more output without diluting Captured Tracks. Not just content with releasing music, Mike has also opened up two record stores in Brooklyn's Fort Greene and Greenpoint neighborhoods, both bearing the Captured Tracks name. This episode concludes with a five-song sampler.
