{"product_id":"peter-stampfel-song-shards","title":"Peter Stampfel- Song Shards (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince the 1960s, Peter Stampfel (Holy Modal Rounders, The Fugs) has been a major influence on the freakier edge of folk music, standing as \"one of the first artists to explore the nexus where folk and psychedelia meet\" (All Music). On his new album Song Shards, which marries two concepts, also represents a return to health for Stampfel, who was unable to sing for a time due to dysphonia. Section 1 is made up of ancient stoic aphorisms: prayers and observations of wit and wisdom (some inspired by his time in AA and others by smoking weed); while Section 2 sees Stampfel recalling radio advertising jingles, the first of which he heard on the radio at the age of 6 in 1945. Both are made up of extremely short songs. The album was produced by Mark Bingham (Marianne Faithfull, Dr. John, R.E.M.) and recorded in Brooklyn and New Orleans. Stampfel has collaborated with Michael Hurley, Jeffrey Lewis, Yo La Tengo, and They Might Be Giants and won a GRAMMY Award for his liner notes of The Anthology of American Folk Music reissue. According to Rolling Stone his music is \"oddball and ambitious\" and The New York Times called him \"the joyful embodiment of Americana of the folk hero.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuses Nine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Maximum Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Every Person\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Open Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e More Wack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Swell Hells Bells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Day Go By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Obstacle is the Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e God May Be Indifferent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Please Help Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cognitive Behavioral Therapy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Find a Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Be Strict with Yourself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Are the Product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hail Mary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love The Hand That Fate Deals You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Fight for Your Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Focus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e New Prayer of Jabez\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ajax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All-Purpose Rit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Aunt Fanny's Bread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Blatz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Castro Convertible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cream of Wheat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Elsie The Borden Cow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Goldblatt's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Libby's Canned Food\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Linco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Log Cabin Syrup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Old Timer's Beer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Omar Bread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pepsi-Cola\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Postum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Prell Shampoo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rival Dog Food\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Robert Hall Clothing Store\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sal Hepatica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Super Suds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Swift Premium Franks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Beer Jingle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e White Rose Petroleum Jelly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e White Tower Hamburgers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Whitman's Sampler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wisconsin Super Service Stations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e UPC \u0026gt; 762184289526 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Format \u0026gt; New CD \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Label \u0026gt; Jalopy Records \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Release Date \u0026gt; Release Date: 9.19.25 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46644984479965,"sku":"762184289526","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4442916-3417833.jpg?v=1754496318","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/products\/peter-stampfel-song-shards","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
