The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia, a collective of independently owned and operated podcasts.

A note on shownotes. In a perfect world, you go into each episode of the Memory Palace knowing nothing about what's coming. It's pretentious, sure, but that's the intention. So, if you don't want any spoilers or anything, you can click play without reading ahead.

Anyway...

Music 

• We start with The Dane by Nihls Frahm.

• Move in and out of Reading a Wave by Arp

• Which mixes briefly with Stephen Gosling and Blair Macmillan playing John Adams' Hallelujah Junction.

• We also here Umitaro Abe play Reperages Pour Piano.

• And Brambles play Such Owls as You.

Notes

• There's a pretty comprehensive book on Bayocean by Bert and Margie Webber called Bayocean: the Oregon Town That Fell Into the Sea

• There's also a terrific website that appears to be regularly updating that's filled with all sorts of stories and resources about Bayocean.

Anyway...

Music 

• We start with the Opening of Craig Armstrong's score to Far From the Madding Crowd.

• Glass Houses no. 13 from Ann Southern.

• Earring from Julia Wolf.

• Occam II for Violin from Eliane Radigue.

• Rearranging Furniture from Gabriel Yared's score to By the Sea.

• A bit of Movement II from Martynov, "Come in!" by Vladimir Martynov.

Notes

• Plenty written about the Willie D.. I found Roger Branfill-Cook's Torpedo: the Most Revolutionary Weapon in Naval History to be particularly useful.

• I also enjoyed stumbling upon this day-by-day breakdown of F.D.R.'s Presidency.

Anyway...

Music 

• We hear Vaggvisa by Henrik Lindstrand.

• Then Kestrel, off the album by the same name from Caoimhin O Raghallaigh.

• Ljuva mekaniska jag by 1900.

• A loop from When it's Time to Go, by Buddy Fo & his Group.

• A bit of Movement II from Martynov, "Come in!" by Vladimir Martynov.

• Making Love in the Apartment from Krysztof Komeda's score to Rosemary's Baby.

• And the Mistral Noir, from Daniel Herkedal.

Notes

• There's a lot written about Kelly and his times, none more enjoyable than Bill Bryson's in One Summer: America, 1927.

• The best academic book that touches on Kelly and his times is Dance Marathons: Performing American Culture in the 1920s and 30s, by Carol Martin.

Here in its tenth year in operation, the Memory Palace just got a star turn in the wonderful podcast and radios show, Radiolab. We couldn’t be more delighted.

So, a word of welcome to new listeners and a call to arms for regular listeners and a story perfect for the end of summer.
