I sat down with Morgan Little, guitarist of the local band “The Mild Revolution.”

MacLennan: Were you always drawn to folk music?

Morgan Little: I started playing the guitar around age 10. My father always played us songs on his guitar and sang with us so it was just expected that I would learn someday. And That’s where the folk side of things comes in too. He always used to play Johnny Cash and Cat Stevens and The Beatles, so when I started playing I learned all of those songs first.

MacLennan: Did you always write your own music?

Little: I first started writing my own music because one day I went and saw Lost in Translation with my grandmother. After the movie she bought me two things 1. A harmonica and 2. Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are-A-Changing.” That record really changed my life because I saw Bob Dylan as everything I wanted to be. He was a one man band that had these beautiful songs and he stood there so confidently. I have been writing ever since and I know that its because of that record and time period in my life.

MacLennan: Is the Mild Revolution a creative vehicle for you?

Little: When I started the Mild Revolution in 2006, it was just a moniker. I didn’t like seeing Morgan Little on posters for shows because I was so nervous that no one would show up. But now it’s an actual band. I still write the music but it’s never set in stone. Matt Caputo and I really mesh these days, and we are back with Dan O’Rourke now too, which he really adds a whole other level to the sound. It’s not just me. Everyone in the group does their own thing and that’s how we get the songs.

MacLennan: How has your sound changed since you first started to play music?

Little: Every show we play sounds different. Now we have Tim Stone and Dan O’Rourke playing with us, our set is going to completely change again. We actually catch some slack from people for changing too often but I think that’s what makes the band different from everybody else around. It’s a completely different show each time.

MacLennan: Any particular writing process?

Little: Lyrics are the most important for me to start with. If the lyrics are not exciting me, the song will never develop. I write the music I write for people to listen to it and to have them care about it, and any song that I care about has great lyrics or no lyrics.

MacLennan: Who are your influences?

Little: Bob Dylan & Springsteen always, but more recently The Weavers, Woody Guthrie, and The Avett Brothers. Recently I have been listening to the new Bright Eyes record, Tim Kasher’s solo record, and I’m still listening to The 123’s record. I find that I have been listening to a lot more Keene music than anything else lately.

MacLennan: How would you describe your music to the new listener?

Little: I would describe it as indie-throw-back-stoner-folk. Does that make any sense? Really I just tell people to come and see us play. When Adam Hogue started playing with us he and I took on this very laid back attitude. I remember he said, “Lets just play our shows like we have nothing to prove.” And that’s how it has been ever since. It’s a party when we play, and that’s the goal.

MacLennan: Are you frustrated musically at all?

Little: ALWAYS! I was this week because we are gearing up for our show this week at The Starving Artist and I was feeling really down about it, but I went to Dan O’Rourke’s last night and we jammed out and it totally rejuvenated me. When I get down I just need to remember the talent I play with and I forget the troubles.

MacLennan: Any new shows or music coming up?

Little: We are limiting the shows, around once a month. But there is always new music. I run a blog at www.themildrevolution.tumblr.com and I post new songs every week. I also offer free downloads for almost all the songs I post.

MacLennan: Anything else you’d like to say about your musical career thus far?

Little:  Listen to the Mild Revolution. That is all.

  5. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them.

  38. I think another strategy that could potentially help this league financially (at least early on) would be if the UFL established a way of posting players for sale to the NFL similarly to what is done in some of the professional soccer leagues and in Japan for their baseball players. If you owned a UFL franchise you’d have an incentive to recruit undervalued talent (the article mentions people like Tom Brady being a 6th round draft choice), develop them into solid players and then be able to recoup some of your costs and investment by selling off these players to the NFL. As these teams and the fledgling league look to manage losses this could be a potential revenue generator to help keep the league afloat and give them time to get some traction.

Coming off of the glory years, Phils fans got to watch discards Ryne Sandberg and Julio Franco go on to great careers, while being treated to the likes of Rick Schu, Jeff Stone, John Russell, and so on.

  47. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  67. Just right issues?I would notice that as any individual who truly doesn’t write on blogs a lot (in fact, this can be my first put up), I don’t suppose the time period ‘lurker’ is very turning into to a non-posting reader.

  68. Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  81. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

  82. I like Your Article about One KSC guitarist creating a ‘revolution’ in local band | The Equinox Perfect just what I was looking for! .

  83. Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

  84. I like the helpful information you provide in your articles. I will bookmark your blog and check again here frequently. I am quite certain I’ll learn plenty of new stuff right here! Good luck for the next!
