I make videos on Facebook and you tube as Gretchen and Rags. Gretchen and Rags does what she wants. She doesn’t need your orthopedic shoes. I just give stuff away. Someday it will all be used either for or against me. There ain’t no neutral ground- (Bob)
I had a bunch of people help me and I guess I used a little too much force, but sometimes I need more guitar fingers.
Here are some implicated: Devin Hill, Geoffrey Trelstad, Bob Rue, Ms. Fridgeret, Sari Gordon, Chris Hesler, Jim Walsh, and David Loy.
From Jim Walsh:
A few of my favorite things from the week that was:
Patches and Gretchen, “Why Don’t You Break Down and Be a Fan of Patches and Gretchen?” (YouTube video) Warning: Gretchen Seichrist’s songs and DIY videos can be so addicting, you might find yourself up late at night, clipping along in your life, and then, as is the case with all great artists, you can go down the rabbit hole of her sneaky raw genius and not be heard from for hours. Her debut CD, “Music From Little Big Pink” (produced by Rich Mattson) isn’t for everyone. But for those with that undying scratchy-vinyl curiosity, a little bit o’ soul-patience, and an ear for all the vagaries of the human condition (“Ant Farm” is an uplifter for the uplifting-suspicious), these basement tapes are a mirror of the you that got left behind in the corporate flood, and the work of the most original locally bred songwriter since Bon Iver.
