Gossip Column Goes Live This Week
This is a call for entries:
Musicians if you, your band or someone you know (venues, studios, other bands, etc.) have a hot tip (new CDs in the works or releases coming up, free t-shirt giveaways, bad dealings with local media, etc.) I want to know about it.
The Stonewailer is starting a Gossip Column for, about, and submitted by local musicians.
You can reply to this blog, email tips to flotsam2000@gmail.com, or go directly to the site and submit from there!
Thanks y’all.

Wah-Hooo! New Site Here
Thanks for the sponsor support for The Stonewailer’s new site at www.thestonewailer.com.
This is now a subscriber-based blog, $2/month for all the local music concert and playlist podcasts you can stand for less than a trip to some money grubbing, corporate espresso joint for a grande, half-caff, whatever….
Musicians, no payola problem here. If you want access to podcasts of your own stuff, drop me a note and I can send you a link without charging you the subscription fee.
Annalisa Tornfelt, Live at Laurelthirst – 3.9.07
Check out this fantastic podcast from Annalisa Tornfelt at the Laurelthirst.
Tornfelt was one of the opening acts for the Jon Itkin CD release show this night.
The Stonewailer apologizes for some of the buzzing on vocals, it seems that there was an issue with one of the mains hanging from the ceiling.
THIS JUST IN: Loaner Bootlegging Gear!
3.8.07 UPDATE:
The Stonewailer now has available TWO(!) loner portable recording devices and stereo mics for bootlegging gigs for podcast on this site. Follow the directions under “Contact” to request the equipment for your show.
Thanks!
From 2.28.07:
I’m looking for volunteer music reviewers in Oregon and Southwest Washington.
I’m also looking for people with portable recording equipment to make bootlegs of local musicians’ live gigs around town (for podcast from this site). Generally a stereo mic and a mp3 recorder with a line-in port will do the trick.
Click here if you are interested.
Scotland Barr & The Slow Drags, Live at the Kenton Club, 3.2.07
If you missed it, no worries, you can listen to this fantastic set from SBSD at the World Famous Kenton Club, in North Portland, here. The gig was bootlegged this past Friday.
Unfortunately the recording does not capture the audience, which came complete with twin drunk, dueling Bad Santas, and an inebriated, overly-tanned geriatric urban cow-poke and his missus – who the cow-poke pile-drove, noggin-first, into one of the Slow Drags’ amplifiers. Good times.

Portlander Jacob Borshard Wins Drew Barrymore with Music, Lyrics
Somewhere along the coast that borders Oregon and California, Jacob Borshard was pulling a small trailer last month. It derailed along a stretch of Oregon State Highway One, but the chains held…

Drunken Prayer, Live at Dante’s: 2.23.07
More info to come on this concert, but I wanted to get it up tonight, so I’ll add stuff like the set list later.
Sorry for the crackling during the first song. I had to adjust the gain on my equipment. Here is the gig.

Elliott Smith’s Old Piano
Nick Jaina, on tour in California to promote his sensational new CD “The 7 Stations,” told me back in December 2006 that he was recording a new album of piano songs with Elliott Smith’s old piano that used to be in Jackpot Records…

What if…
There was a place online where music-lovers could go to listen to and read about live local (Oregon, SW Washington) bands that are playing this week, or that have CDs available?
Music-lovers
How often have you scanned through the paper, or listened to local radio with the goal of attaining information on up-coming performances of local musicians, only to find that very little, or vague, information is available?
You want to support local musicians, but you are frustrated with the lack of local coverage, and you are uninterested in paying for a blind date with a band.
Venue owners, bookers, club managers
Do you represent a local venue? Are you frustrated with the empty seats generated by unknown local talent? You want to draw in paying customers, right?
If only paying customers could hear playlists that feature some of the local artists that you are hosting. Or, better still, if potential patrons could listen to a concert online, and be enticed to catch the act live.
Bands, musicians
You know people will like your sound, but how do you get venues to give you a shot? How do you fill those seats? Why does it feel like no one is responding to your MySpace invites?
If only potential groupies could hear part or all of your live set, new CD, or demo tracks.
Welcome to The Stonewailer
The place to get the buzz going online about your band. This is the home of an online podcast/blog featuring solely local, unsigned, indie talent.
To read a copy of the recording/broadcasting statement, check out the LEGAL page here.
Financial
There is no need to cram a plea for funding for a site like this down musician’s throats, the money just isn’t there.
However, it would be nice to get some input from music-lovers, venues, and other interested parties on keeping the site fresh and cost effective for the people putting it together, or it may start with a bang and then fizzle out.
For thoughts, or suggestions, please check out some potential revenue stream considerations here.
stone·wall(v)
1) To engage in delaying tactics; stall. 2) To refuse to answer or cooperate.
wail(v)
1) To grieve or protest loudly and bitterly; lament. 2) To make a prolonged, high-pitched sound suggestive of a cry.
Please donate $2 each month to keep this podcast/blog kicking. Click on the “tip jar” above, or send cash to 11112 SW 62nd Ave., Portland OR 97219. Word.
