Ball of Wax 39 Songs: Goodies – Others
I really should have an “Alex Drum” tag on this blog by now. [OK, now I do, but I don’t know when I’ll get to retroactively tagging the other relevant posts.] It would at least be a start in trying … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 39 Songs: Darryl Blood – Dead and Gone
There’s no theme to Ball of Wax 39, but there is an interesting thread of mortality, whether the fear or acceptance thereof, that has woven itself through a number of these songs, from “The Long Haul”‘s brooding meditation on illness … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 39 Songs: Tucker Theodore – Thoughts and Chain
Tucker Theodore is another brand new addition to the Ball of Wax fold (although he did previously appear on Volume 21 as a member of the dear, departed These Creatures). Tucker was referred to me by the same Friend of … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 39 Songs: Spit Shine – Oh My Love
We have a couple of artists performing at the Ball of Wax 39 show on March 7th under names that don’t actually appear on the CD. One of these is Shannon Jae, whose spine-tingling voice is the centerpiece of this … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 39 Songs: Joseph Allen Beltram – Meditation in D

Our old friend Jon Rooney takes a bit of a left turn with this newest Virgin of the Birds track, which fits very nicely in the electro-chill section of Volume 39 in which we find ourselves. Not unlike the Harvey … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 39 Songs: Lost Wisdom – Who’s from Aleppo Again?
Ball of Wax 39 contains songs from a bunch of new artists – some of them so new that they didn’t have band names when they initially submitted their songs. One of those artists, Taylor Delph, contacted me out of … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 39 Songs: Julia Massey and the Five Finger Discount – Turn It Into Everything
Julia Massey and her band return to Ball of Wax for the second volume in a row, giving us another track from their fine new album, A.L.I.T.E. (You know I really like this band because I keep having them back, … Continue reading
Ball of Wax 39 Songs – Almsss – Status
Krist Krueger (Southerly, Sndtrkr, Yardsss, Healersss, and Self Group in general) can be a tricky guy to keep a bead on, as you might guess from that parenthetical list following his name. You can read my previous attempt to keep … Continue reading
