Voxhaul Broadcast Plans For Big and Busy New Year
January 4, 2008
The Echo (mp3)
Our very own Voxhaul Broadcast is starting to get noticed. Last Thanksgiving the Los Angeles Times cited their “twitchy, soul-infused rock” in naming them “one to watch in 2008” in their Buzz Band column. Laist.com called their EP Rotten Apples “stupendous” while naming it one of the top 100 albums of 2007. Expect a busy year from the band as they debut their video for Rotten Apples, record a bunch of new tracks, and play loads of shows all over the place.
A poem to kick things off
January 3, 2008
We thought we would start with a poem to kick off the new Retone Records website. Here is one by that famous rock star of the 19th Century Walt Whitman. It is from the book Walt Whitman, Selected Poems edited by Harold Bloom and published by The Library of America as part of its American Poets Project.
City of Orgies
City of orgies, walks and joys, City whom that I have lived and sung in your midst will one day make you illustrious, Not the pageants of you, not your shifting tableaus, your spectacles, repay me. Not the interminable rows of your houses, nor the ships at the wharves, Nor the processions in the streets, nor the bright windows with goods in them, Nor to converse with learn'd persons, or bear my share in the soiree or feast; Not those, but as I pass O Manhattan, your frequent and swift flash of eyes offering me love, Offering response to my own – these repay me, Lovers, continual lovers, only repay me.
