So Just What Exactly Is A Cittern, Anyway? by Robin Bullock (Column originally written for Acoustic Musician Magazine - used by permission) If you've spent any time at all around Celtic music, you'll have noticed the frequency with which citterns, bouzoukis, octave mandolins, mandolas, mandocellos and even blarges show up. You might be wondering what exactly these strange creatures are. Even if you're aware that they're all midrange members of the mandolin family, you might well be confused what the distinctions among them might be. And your confusion, alas, will not be helped by the fact that there isn't a great deal of nomenclatural consistency among those of us that play, um, those things. Fast forward to the 1960s, when a young Irishman named Johnny Moynihan discovered the Greek bouzouki. However, by this time, these guys and the players who followed in their footsteps were playing newly-made instruments that had flat or arched backs, more like big mandolins than genuine bouzoukis. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Rain makes everything better. quater life crisis Every rut needs a soundtrack. And if you're in your mid-to-early-twenties with zero direction, colossal debt, and an undiagnosed Internet addiction, maybe the prospect of change is too daunting. But the short term pain of getting your shit together is flimsy compared to the crushing realization you'll feel decades from now when you realize that you've spent an incalculable amount of time provoking fights on racist YouTube channels. So think of these songs of a last hurrah for your deflated ambition, then delete “Words With Friends” from your phone and get to some self-knowing. Or just listen while you check Twitter all day.

Wallace Best, Ph.D.: The 10 Best Gospel Songs: The Soul Of American Music Gospel music is the most American of American music and the veritable soundtrack of black America. Born in the trauma of the 1930s, nurtured in the dramatic shifts of the 1940s and 50s, validated during the uncertainties of the 1960s and 70s, and complicated amid the technological advances of the 1980s and 90s, it has wonderfully articulated the hopes, fears, struggles, and joys of generations of blacks. As the root of R&B, Soul, and Rock, it is perhaps the most influential American musical genre, having launched the careers of countless singers past and present. Gospel music is the most authentically black cultural expression and the most glorious music on earth with a sound and a feeling all its own. TAKE MY HAND, PRECIOUS LORD (1932): Written by former bluesman, Thomas A. MOVE ON UP A LITTLE HIGHER (1947): Pastor and composer W. HOW I GOT OVER (1951): The relatively sad life of Clara Ward did not prevent her from writing one of the most uplifting gospel songs. I. Loading Slideshow
