More Than Shapes: The Roderick House Show

[NatureBoy]

Back in October (about a week before the great School of Roderick show at the Showbox), my good friend Victoria VanBruinisse and I hatched a crazy idea for the smallest, most intimate Roderick show possible. Smaller than a typical house show and potluck catered, it was a request-only night of stories and songs that turned out better than we could have imagined. Except we ran out of chili. (Sorry, John)

I hope the Long Winters OG's who were there that night agree that what happened was pretty special. Too special not to share. Which is why every Tuesday in February a song from this evening will go online on my production blog as well as at Three Imaginary Girls.

Today's song was the first request of the evening, Carparts.

Sorry, I didn't see you had posted this before I posted something. As I said in my post thanks to everyone involved in filming this to share with everyone.

Here's today's song, Scent of Lime.

I always liked that one.

Acoustic is nice, too.

Today's song is a cover: The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. One

Y'know, I had a vision over the weekend of John Roderick in this (new?) acoustic mode getting a slot on Prairie Home Companion. Possibly with Sean Nelson.

Today's song is Mimi.

Here's the last one (really!), and my favorite song of the night: Solitary Man.

Also, all the songs are available on one page now, here: http://www.dorsiafilms.com/the-house-show-songs/

I hope you enjoy them!

You are a fine man, Nature Boy.
