Happy Holidays! http://everyfolksong.xyz/2020-12-202h 21Every Folk Song15 - The Cruel Ship's CarpenterRoud 15 is called "The Cruel Ship's Carpenter," but if you know it, it would probably be as "Pretty Polly."

Or "The House Carpenter." It's a song that epitomizes a literary and cultural motif that's been expounded on in depth by people a lot smarter than me, but I try to capture the ideas here.

It's about a magical man and his would-be young bride. And it's about an old merchant's fair in North Yorkshire. And it's about 4 herbs, which you know very well. There's a lot of modern history with this song, so as such, there's a LOT of information. http://everyfolksong.xyz http://www.scarboroughsmaritimeheritage.org.uk/2019-05-251h 17The Very WorstEevee & Friends w/ Jeff StormerThree grown adults, one who is Jeff Stormer, watch the very first Alexa-narrated drug movie, Eevee & Friends.

Topics include: Mickey ZO'Rourke. Tobey Maguire's Batman. A The Who song, but about Pokemon. Maybe these Team Rocket guys aren't so smart after all. Flamonkey VS Infernape. The heirarchy of Grandma names. Why don't more movies end with every character dying? Pat's suspicious the movie has Tea Party leanings. Journalists love sewers. We argue about Ash's age again.

Party of One Podcast17 - Tavern Tales With Matt AukampIn the wake of a great environmental calamity, scientific progress soars out of necessity, and great steam-powered ships sail across a newly water-covered world. Massive corporations vie for control of new technologies, employing dangerous mercenaries, like the man they call... GUB. They call him that because his name is Gub.

Evolved from an old Italian song first printed in the 1600s, this English song has been incredibly popular. And it's one of Matt's favorite songs we've covered so far. http://everyfolksong.xyz2014-01-0941 minEvery Folk Song9 - The Cruel Mother Roud 9, "The Cruel Mother." A product of the society and moral/political climate it formed in, this 400ish-year-old song weaves a haunting and disturbing tale. While possibly borne of politics long past, this song still has a deep impact when viewed against the social problems of the day. Another song about murder... http://everyfolksong.xyz2013-12-2547 minEvery Folk Song8 - The Twa SistersRoud 8, "the Twa Sisters" or "the Two Sisters" or 30 different other titles. This ballad, first published in 1656, has its roots in European culture as far back to the 9th Century and spreads out like a great tree from there, with different leaves on each branch but the same trunk underneath. If you like the way I murdered that metaphor, you'll love this tale of murder and jealousy and dismemberment and fiddle-making. http://everyfolksong.xyz2013-11-2836 minEvery Folk Song7 - The Female Highwayman Roud 7, "The Female Highwayman" or "Sovay." This somewhat ridiculous ballad comes from the English countryside somewhere between the 16th and 18th centuries, and crops up in the countrysides of all English-speaking nations where highway robbery was a significant problem. It's a love song! About threatening to murder someone. everyfolksong.xyz/ 2013-11-1525 minEvery Folk Song6 - Long LankinRoud 6, "Long Lankin." This horrifying and dark folk song comes from the Northern UK, dating back to at least the 15th century. It's not an easy one to digest and its origins are as clouded in darkness and mystery as the story it tells. WARNING: This episode is pretty creepy and probably not suited for anyone very young or with a very young-like proclivity to fear. Citations and other content at: http://everyfolksong.xyz2013-10-3037 minEvery Folk Song5 - The Three RavensRoud 5, "The Three Ravens." An old English ballad thought to date back to the 13th century, this bleak, BLEAK song was first printed in 1611. Find out just how bleak it is and just how much bleaker it could get when it finds its way to Scotland. This is really a dark-twilight-of-the-soul kind of podcast episode. http://everyfolksong.xyz2013-10-1630 minEvery Folk Song4 - Lord Thomas and Fair Eleanor This episode focuses on Roud 4, "Lord Thomas and Fair Eleanor." (alt. Ellenor, Elendor, Ellinor, Elinor) The lyrics to this song have remained relatively unchanged since it was printed on a Broadside in 1677. Sit tight as Matt does his own re-telling, followed by a brief history, and then deep dive into the meanings and context of this insane story. http://everyfolksong.xyz 2013-10-0237 minEvery Folk Song3 - The Sprig of ThymeThis episode focuses on Roud 3, "The Sprig of Thyme." Originally collected by Cecil Sharpe as "Seeds of Love" in 1903. Matt dissects the often-questionable poetry of the song, discusses the attitudes on gender and sexuality that the song expresses, and touches on an English New Wave band from the early 80's. CONTENT WARNING: Sex is referred to quite a bit in both mature and immature fashions. Matt says "bone down on" at least once. Sorry. http://everyfolksong.xyz2013-09-1827 minEvery Folk Song2 - The Unfortunate RakeThis episode focuses on Roud 2, "The Unfortunate Rake" and its journey across Europe, into and out of the Crimean War, and then over the Atlantic, where it settled in the American West and New Orleans. Made popular as "The Streets of Laredo" and "St. James Infirmary" by artists like Johnny Cash and Louis Armstrong. http://everyfolksong.xyz2013-09-0434 minEvery Folk Song1 - The Raggle Taggle GypsyIn this inaugural episode, we start off with Roud 1, The Raggle Taggle Gypsy, a Scottish ballad originating from the 17th century. Plus, a brief explanation of this podcast and this "Roud Folk Music Index" everyone (matt) has been talking about. http://everyfolksong.xyz2013-08-2135 min
