Merrily We Roll Along is a mish-mash of high energy lunacy, reverence, and irreverence for forgotten pop stars, love for Saturday morning cartoons, and exploration of the side of Bandcamp where I seem to be the only one purchasing. Bringing to you the odd and the upbeat from a growing collection of pre-rock novelties, classic and neo-Vaudeville, jug bands, polka, klezmer, and more at the convenient hour of 8-9 AM EST, Merrily We Roll Along starts the day off with a little light-hearted musical tomfoolery cut with an occasional comedy sketch. It's organic, free-range, cheese with the occasional onion thrown in.

Daniel Kahn & Psoy Korolenko | Sakharov Gardens | A comedic fusion of two 20 century schlagers - “Sugar Bush” (the Doris Day and Frankie Laine’s performance of which was viral in the USSR of 60-70’s due to the popular vinyl record series Vokrug Sveta / Around The World) and tango-foxtrot “U Samovara” (a “light music” hit by Polish-Soviet-Jewish composer Fanny Gordon a.k.a. Faina Kwiatkowska/Kvyatkovskaya, Faiga Jofé, interpreted by prominent artists such as “King of Russian Tango” Pyotr Leshchenko and Soviet jazz patriarch Leonid Utyosov). New lyrics playfully refer to famous Soviet dissident scientist Andrey Sakharov (whose last name is derived from the Russian word for sugar) sharing an internal exile with his wife Yelena Bonner, also a political activist. Sakharov’s exile (1980 - 1986) is an important milestone in the history of Brezhnev era, late-Soviet political dissent and the cold war. | 0:47:12 (Pop-up) | |
