PAST PROJECTS, PLAYLISTS, &C.

Songs Inspired By Poetry is a collection of contemporary folk songs inspired by the poetry of Robert Burns, Robert Browning, Countee Cullen, e.e. cummings, John Donne, T.S. Eliot, Alan Ginsberg, Wilfred Owen, Edgar Allan Poe, Wallace Stevens, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Walt Whitman, and W.B. Yeats.

Imaginary Gardens (with Real Toads) is a tumblelog of song lyrics, videos, and mp3s, along with some analysis and commentary. It is currently on hiatus, but hopefully not in the Moxy Früvous sense.

Last Five Mixes is a fluid page consisting of (unsurprisingly) my last five mixes of folk music. Some are themed and some are aimed at specific people.

Contemporary Folk Music on Jerusalem and Sacred Space" is the companion page ("extended liner notes") to a compilation CD that was created in response to a college course entitled "Jerusalem: Negotiating Sacred Space."

"Have you noticed that America's on fire?" - Contemporary Protest Lyrics is my mix of "contemporary" protest songs. (It is already vastly outdated.)
