I seem to leave (my) body. I want to tell my family not to worry for me, but they can't hear me. A feeling encourages me to go, I am being guided. A glowing white light reveals the walls of a tunnel. The light is stronger than any drug, more fulfilling than any food and more sensual and raw than any sex I have ever had. It's wonderful. | |

Tuesday June 9th (Live on air) 9pm-9:45pm 6/9 HUMANWINE on WMBR 88.1 FM Pipeline! ATTN: This show will be available as a podcast.
You are encouraged to Listen Live!
below is taken directly from pipeline.wmbr.org:
Here’s how it works: Starting at 8pm, Jeff plays records and CD’s of bands from all over the New England region. Then, at 9pm (or close to it!), that week’s live band starts playing over the air. That usually wraps up around 9:45pm, leaving time for a quick on-air interview before the next group of degenerates comes in at 10pm. Feel free to poke around, join in on the fun, and drop us a line if you feel like it. Don’t be shy.
At the end of each Pipeline! we podcast the live band set. Every week, you can download a live in-studio recording from one of New England’s finest bands! There are two ways to do this: 1) Use iTunes to get the set from the iTunes podcast directory. You can even set it to automatically grab each new episode for you. 2) Use the raw podcast file. Some web browsers will let you download the sets by directly clicking on the link, while others require the use of third party software. There are already 50+ sets for you to download, going back more than a year. Enjoy!
What’s Pipeline?
Pipeline! is the live local music program of WMBR 88.1 FM. We play music by bands from the Boston metro area, as well as all of New England. In addition to spinning records and CD’s, every week a local band plays live on the air. Hosted by Jeff Breeze, show airs every Tuesday night from 8pm-10pm EST.

A Far Cry (Boston's proudly unconducted Chamber Orchestra)We are a group of musicians bound together by our desire to share great music and great art with people who are young, people who are mature, those near, and far. The music we play is music we love, and music we don’t want to live without. We have a mission to bring together all the loves of our lives, those that range from film, dance, and visual art, to our love for each person who lives the joy and suffering (and in-betweenness) that inspire the art of life. We are excited to have you join us as we discover how we can communicate our passion with different audiences, with different artists and with each other, to be a part of the cries of need and celebration that make up the world in which we live.
The Boy Who Spoke Clouds (AUS) The Boy Who Spoke Clouds might be described by some as indigenous, world, tribal, folk, neo folk, electroacoustic, or some amalgamation of the above. Imagine Sufjan Stevens meets Jesu. The Boy Who Spoke Clouds is an intimate portrait of Adam Casey and his native Australia and emotes something lost in much of today's music; no doubt having a tendency to put down roots wherever he is listened to. The Boy Who Spoke Clouds will be launching their debut album (released on Sun Sea Sky Productions) and touring as a three piece band across the Eastcoast of the USA, and the Southcoast of Canada throughout June/July, 2009.

Malleable HUMANWINE embraces fluid lineup

The Boston Herald
By Barry Thompson Saturday, February 16, 2008To stand out in the ultracompetitive Boston music scene, a band must bring something extraordinary to the table or have a good gimmick. At a glance, HUMANWINE is an act that manages both. But scratch the surface and the gimmick reveals itself as a philosophy that encompasses music, art, politics and life itself.
Soon HUMANWINE won't be a Boston band: Plans call for a summer departure to, well, everywhere.
"Our goal is to keep moving and not stop, like a fish," said vocalist and co-songwriter Holly Brewer, sitting in a Jamaica Plain pub.
"We've been (in Boston) three years," Brewer said. "It wouldn't matter if it was France or Mozambique. I would still be itchy."
Having purchased a school bus, HUMANWINE, which plays tonight at the Middle East, is in the process of converting the engine to run on vegetable grease, the electrical systems to run on solar power and turning the interior into living quarters for two to seven people.
"We end up taking people with us," said Brewer. "If someone's like, 'I'm good at what I do, and I want to go to Oregon,' they tour with us to Oregon. We drop them off, and pick up somebody else. We're like a Greyhound, except you play music."
Naturally, a liquid roster necessitates liquid songs.
"Sometimes you can't get somebody who plays upright bass," said multi-instrumentalist M@ (as in Matt) McNiss. "So we're like, 'We don't have a bass player, so we'll have the piano supplement it.' Then it's, 'Well, that changes the orchestration of what we're doing.' "
HUMANWINE formed in New Hampshire in 2001. The group matches parabolic lyrics set in the metaphorical realm of Vinland with haunting, neo-classical-anarcho-math-punk. Band mates, rightfully, cringe at comparisons to the Dresden Dolls, not that they hold a grudge. Brian Viglione of the Dolls played drums on HUMANWINE's "Fighting Naked." To the band, labeling itself anything would be self-defeating.
"That's what art is, the connection with life in your medium," McNiss said. "If you're guarding it, saying, 'We're a blah blah band,' you're shorting yourself."
Odds are any band dedicated to artistic freedom won't last on a label, which explains why HUMANWINE split from Cordless Recordings last year. Aside from an anti-corporate, self-reliant ethic, HUMANWINE does without boundaries.
"We like the sentence 'Change is the only constant,' " Brewer said. "Vinland changes, too. With the quilt of Vinland, every song is a patch. If you hold it a different way, each song shines differently."
