Poetry has been defined as "words that want to break into song." Musicians who make music seek to "say something". Parlando will put spoken words (often, but not always, poetry) and music (different kinds, limited only by the abilities of the performing participants) together. The resulting performances will be short, 2 to 10 minutes in length. The podcast will present them un-adorned. How much variety can we find in this combination? Listen to a few episodes and see. At least at first, the ...

Today’s Top Tune: Jeff Tweedy ‘Lou Reed Was My Babysitter’ Jeff Tweedy’s “Lou Reed Was My Babysitter” reimagines musical influence as a kind of childhood guardianship, honoring Lou Reed as the artist who “babysat” him through his early years. With its understated warmth and gently humorous tone, the song celebrates the dark beauty and unlikely comf…

Lou Reed blurred the lines between fact and fiction when it came to his past. To him, it was all a walk on the wild side anyway.

Skip James’s most famous lyric was “I’d Rather be the Devil” and he put his money where his mouth was. He is believed to have shot a man dead, spent time as a pimp and a bootlegger, and womanized up and down the United States. Skip may have eventually found religion, and even recognition as the last great bluesman to be discovered by white America,…

In 1960s London, for young guitar enthusiasts, believing that “Clapton is God” was practically the 11th Commandment. In 1970 he lent his big, sticky tone to yet another band: Derek and the Dominos. The group’s white-hot blues burned bright for barely more than a year, but their impact was massive. Guided by drug, alcohol and heartbreak free-fall, E…

Here's a fresh English translation of Paul Éluard's poem "La Vie" performed with original music. Éluard was one of the prime Surrealists and this poem casts its heroine as living dreams seriously, or life as if it's a dream. The Parlando Project takes various words (mostly literary poetry) and combines them with original music in differing styles. …

Elvis Presley loved the Memphis singer Johnny Ace. Johnny died long before Elvis’ became the King of Rock ‘N’ Roll and the way in which Johnny Ace died was as tragic as it was violent.

I've recently made this 16th century poem into a song, but then I hesitated to present it this week – because Robert Southwell's "The Burning Babe" seems both inappropriate and appropriate for Christmas. Inappropriate because it's an intentionally harrowing, visionary poem. If what it describes was made into a film, its horror might ask it to be ke…

Shane MacGowan lived his life as an outsider. He was an Irishman living in England, a troublemaking jug-eared punk with rotten teeth and a voracious appetite for drugs and alcohol. And with his band, The Pogues, he created a powerful synthesis of the traditional music of his homeland and a modern punk attitude. It was this gift for melding the sacr…

John Lennon was a walking contradiction: a violent pacifist and a creative genius marred by creative inconsistency.

Here a new-made song from the poetry of Emily Dickinson. The music is jaunty, and I think that fits the language of the poem as I read it, but best as I can determine this is a poem that fits into the genre my wife calls "Cozy Gothic." Gothic? What? There's sunsets, mornings, cottages in this little 8-line poem made into a tidy 2 minute song. Don't…
