The following is a press release from Raconteur Radio:
"The Man who would be King!” A Staged Radio Play & Immersive Masonic Experience with themed snacks and drinks is presented by Raconteur Radio and Mt. Zion Lodge #135 of Free and Accepted Masons.
Based on Rudyard Kipling's classic yarn, this rousing radio play tells the tall and timeless tale of two rogue soldiers and Freemasons who set off from 19th century British India in search of adventure and end up as Kings of Kafiristan. It is a time of mission and mystery, of forbidden lands, and of wealth often described as untold. Royal soldiers-cum-con men, Danny and Peachy, climb mountains and cross glaciers to penetrate the forbidden territories where, through luck, battle, and a series of masonic coincidences, they realize their wildest dreams.
Featuring: Jeff Maschi as Brother Daniel Dravot, Carlyle Owens as Brother Peachy Carnehan, and Laurence Mintz as Rudyard Kipling and Billy Fish.

The mainstream drew me back in a little this year, though mostly by looking back several decades to the same things I love and incorporating them into music that doesn't especially sound like 2014.
1. Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra: Fuck Off Get Free We Pour Light on Everything (Constellation)
I think of Silver Mt. Zion as the post-rock Pogues. They have the drunken singing and the scratchy fiddling and the punky energy, but in a sort of gritty yet sophisticated Godspeed! You Black Emperor musical context (and in fact founder/singer/guitarist Efrim Manuel Menuck used to be in Godspeed!). On their eighth album, the added intensity that appeared on their previous album is increased; this may be their best yet. My favorite track is "What We Loved Was Not Enough," where at first it seems like he's singing "The days come when we no longer fail," but then when...

Following Maya Angelou's passing, people also gathered to celebrate her incredible life with a moving service in Winstom Salem, Nc. Visitors listened to a poetry reading at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, the church she attended for more than 30 years.

While the so-called digital revolution has no doubt affected the film industry, it can’t compare to the way the music has essentially imploded post-Napster. It’s harder than ever before for many musicians to make art and still make a living, even when they have some semblance of success. It’s a conundrum that the member of Montreal experimental outfit Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra (aka A Silver Mt. Zion, The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-la-La Band, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-la-La Band with Choir and Thee Silver Mountain Reveries) face in the new documentary “Come Worry With Us!” and the first trailer has arrived to give you a glimpse at life of musicians trying to make it in today’s landscape. Focusing on singer/guitarist Efrim Menuck and violinist Jessica Moss, the Helene Klodawksy-directed film takes a look at how having a child...
