Looking for Betty MacDonald: The Egg, the Plague, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, and I , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 485min
Betty Bard MacDonald (1907 - 1958), the best-selling author of The Egg and I and the classic Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle children's books, burst onto the literary scene shortly after the end of World War II. Readers embraced her memoir of her years as a young bride operating a chicken ranch on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, and The Egg and I sold its first million copies in less than a year. The public was drawn to MacDonald's vivacity, her offbeat humor, and her irreverent take on life. In 1947, the book was made into a movie starring Fred MacMurray and Claudette Colbert, and spawned a series of films featuring MacDonald's Ma and Pa Kettle characters. MacDonald followed up the success of The Egg and I with the creation of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, a magical woman who cures children of their bad habits, and with three additional memoirs: The Plague and I (chronicling her time in a tuberculosis sanitarium just outside Seattle), Anybody Can Do Anything (recounting her madcap attempts to find work during the Great Depression), and Onions in the Stew (about her life raising two teenage daughters on Vashon Island). Author Paula Becker was granted full access to Betty MacDonald's archives, including materials never before seen by any researcher. Looking for Betty MacDonald, the first biography of this endearing Northwest storyteller, reveals the story behind the memoirs and the difference between the real Betty MacDonald and her literary persona. ungekürzt.

Radio Daddyo
Born in New York City in 1950, then growing up in White Meadow Lake, New Jersey, Bob Krinsky has a lifetime passion for songwriting under his belt. He has performed his songs in coffeehouses, clubs and festival stages from the Big Apple, New Jersey and the Catskills Mountains, to west coast venues such as the Oregon Country Fair, Seattle Folk Life Festival, Seattle Freemont Fair, Okanogan Family Fair, Vashon Island Earthfair, and other roots places. From 1980 through the early 90's Bob produced albums for the likes of jazz great Diane Schuur, blues legend Isaac Scott, and many other Northwest favorite sons and daughters. His work with Seattle area session musicians and artists led to a return to his roots as a songwriter and performing artist, working solo and in many band configurations including, Ricky Lee Bob, Rogues Gallery, Bobby's Mumbo Jumbo and others. Vashmakahn, Bob's first compact disc released in 1994, was featured on the cover of Soundlife Magazine, the entertainment magazine published by the Tacoma News Tribune. The title cut was a local mainstay on the rock/reggae club circuit. Bob's devotion to family including his wife Delilah and his children Jana, Ross and Ginger have kept Bob busy with other adventures, until finally, the upcoming release of his new compact disc, RADIO DADDYO, brings out ten fresh tunes for your enjoyment. The cut "Worser Things" is already reaching underground cult status, with requests for performances at the likes of Seattle Hempfest, Freemont Solstice Ball and at opening gigs for notables such as Railroad Earth. Bob lives with his family and many four legged pals at his spread on Vashon Island, Washington.- Shop: odax

E.P.
Seattle's Jackrabbit's debut E.P. is soon to be released on May 18th 2011. Coincidentally, this is also the anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens and singer/songwriter Tony Fulgham's arrival to Seattle from Houston. Inspired by a topless mountain and a wealth of open green space, Tony's songwriting started shortly thereafter and has been going strong ever since. Tony's most notable musical achievement to date was four years and two records made with his band North Twin. Falling Apart and Stronger at the Broken Places both received great reviews and regular rotation on KEXP, as well as college stations around the nation (including The Outlaw Country Channel on Sirius Satellite Radio). A true band, North Twin decided to call it quits when drummer Rick Cranford answered the call of the east and returned to the land of his people in Boston. The year that followed was a persistent search for the chemistry so elusive in starting a new band. During this search, Tony tried a dozen different combos ranging from 4 to 7 members. Good musicians all, but none worked until Tony met drummer Aimee Zoe Tubbs at a show with one of her other bands, The Starlings. It was an instant musical crush that was shared by North Twin/Jackrabbit bassist Rebecca Young. What was at one point a seven-piece train wreck turned into three-piece bliss. The three of them stripped down all of Tony's songs and began building them back up in the simplest of ways. Recorded over a rainy weekend on Vashon Island at Jason Staczek's home studio followed by a couple nights with legendary Seattle producer, Johnny Sangster. No frills, nothing fancy but guest appearances where a little icing was needed on the cake. Tony's sister, Shannon joins for some backing vocals on "Falling is Mine" and "Stronger Than You" while Bloodshot recording artist, Maggie Bjorklund plays peddle steel on the same two tracks. Jason Staczek and his grand piano on "Stronger Than You" while Johnny Sangster fills out "Falling Is Mine" with the addition of his electric guitar. Influenced by Waylon Jennings, Calexico, Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, Tony's song writing seems to be endless and a feature length record is soon to follow. With a batch of sad songs about good times, Jackrabbit seems to be at the beginning of a friendship that will one day be worth a story all it's own. No telling how long Jackrabbit will stay a three piece but for right now a bottle of wine and a game of dice splits three ways pretty nicely.- Shop: odax

Zola Jesus: Taiga
Geschrieben in Vashon Island in Washington State und gemischt in Los Angeles von Dean Hurley, folgt "Taiga" den gefeierten Alben "Versions" (2013) und "Conatus" (2011). In der Gegenwart stehend und doch verbunden mit der Vergangenheit, beschreibt das vorliegende Album einen Wandel. Kompositionen türmen sich auf, baden in der wohlvertrauten Stimme der 25-jährigen Sängerin, Songschreiberin und Produzentin Zola Jesus und formulieren ein neues künstlerischen Selbstvertrauen: "For me, it feels like my true debut, because it is the first time I have felt so open and liberated."- Shop: odax
