Today's Parlando Project post names the holiday as it is in the UK #RemembanceDay & I recall 5 poet's stories accompanied by music the Project created over the years. #poetry #music I'm not going to be here much going forward, but I'll share this today: frankhudson.org/2024/11/10/let…

Remembering the great French filmmaker, Louis Malle, on his 92nd birthday! Elevator to the Gallows (1958) Director: Louis Malle


Here’s a favorite from the Parlando Project’s Halloween series of a few years back. I revived what may be the original “werefox” lyrics to Reynardine in my version: frankhudson.org/2021/10/24/rey…


Halloween cottage cultural industry—I turned this subtle-spooky Walter de la Mare short story into a 10 minute audio play; frankhudson.org/2024/10/30/the…


For Halloween the Parlando Project’s been doing a series of songs created out of eerie, fantasy, & supernatural literary poetry. Today we present a poem by Walter de La Mare who’s the master of subtle-spooky. frankhudson.org/2024/10/29/the…

I'm doing a Halloween series this month with the Parlando Project that combines literary poetry with original music. Edgar Allan Poe must come to mind. Also hideous laughter, The Frug, & a brief theory on gothic poetry's attraction to the death of beauty: frankhudson.org/2024/10/27/poe…

The White Stripes “Party of Special Things to Do” (Captain Beefheart cover) (Live) ‘From the Basement’ (2005) Hate to pile on here (liar, I love it), but do you know who’d never do a crypto show?


Our Halloween series continues at the Parlando Project. A goblin spirit changes, hides, when observed by a human. A metaphor for creativity? Irish poet Joseph Campbell’s poem “The Puca” is changed into a little song: frankhudson.org/2024/10/23/the…


Wilfred Owen, beloved English poet for his uncompromising WWI war poems, also wrote this enigmatic poem of a London nighttime, “Shadwell Stair.” I tried my best to match his poetry with my musical setting for this one: frankhudson.org/2024/10/18/sha…


Halloween approaches & I’ll be celebrating the birthday of my longtime friend, LYL Band-mate, poet, & cartoonist Dave Moore. Here’s one of his lyrics performed by the greatest original music band Minneapolis ever forgot, Fine Art in 1978: youtube.com/watch?app=desk…


The Parlando Project combines literary poetry w/original music in differing styles. Our Halloween series continues today: someone’s at the door again—but this time they let themselves in. What do they find? That’s the song! frankhudson.org/2024/10/15/the…


The Parlando Project is once again beginning a Halloween series as I combine literary poetry with original music in differing styles. The first of the new ones is the tale of a maiden at the door in the cold wet dark. Inside is a warm fire, and… frankhudson.org/2024/10/13/the…


In the ‘60s—the 1860s—Emily Dickinson wrote an oddly anti-climatic poem about a storm. Maybe that was her point? I took her “Rock” seriously, fired up the electric guitar amps, & performed “The Wind Began to Rock” with a bit of the old VU 2-chord chug: frankhudson.org/2024/10/09/the…


I often get the feeling that the AfroAmerican form the Blues is an essential distinction in American music & poetry—and it’s not just a form, it’s an attitude. Did Emily Dickinson write Blues? In attitude, yes. I come after her and put her in the form: frankhudson.org/2024/10/04/nat…


After all the Kris Kristofferson remembrance posts I was trying to think of how to say something I admired about him, since what I wanted to say sounds like I'm dogging him: he didn't have a "good" singing voice, performed anyway. Maybe he says it best: youtube.com/watch?v=Qmk94u…


Here’s what I wrote about my experience with the Emily Dickinson’s poem “She dealt her pretty words like Blades.” Who’s the “She?” Could it be ED herself? Maybe the poem stands, mysterious? Oh, & it’s a song now: frankhudson.org/2024/09/29/wor…


Clearing my afternoon for the final part of the @DickinsonMuseum Tell It Slant marathon reading of all 1789 Emily Dickinson poems. Sharpening, this strange weapons-grade Emily Dickinson poem now set to music by the Parlando Project, "Words like Blades." parlando.libsyn.com/words-like-bla…


Is Emily Dickinson’s poem “My Life had stood—a Loaded Gun” the secret decoder ring to ED’s psyche? Or is it a compressed tragedy of the loyal gun who recognizes its utility too late? I could be wrong here, but I got a song out of it: frankhudson.org/2024/09/27/my-…


I'm busy enjoying the Tell It Slant Festival put on by @DickinsonMuseum this week, so I'll write more about my experience of this poem later, but around midnight I finished my latest Parlando Project musical piece, this setting of one of Dickinson's poems: parlando.libsyn.com/my-life-had-st…


A model for poets & musicians, Emily Dickinson sings while waiting for that carriage driver to stop for her. USE the waiting. Musical performance linked here: frankhudson.org/2024/09/24/i-s…
