From award-winning public radio producer, Nate DiMeo, comes The Memory Palace. Short, surprising stories of the past, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes hysterical, always super-great. For history buffs, fans of public radio shows like This American Life, Radio Lab, and whatnot, and for all admirers of things that are super-great. www.thememorypalace.us \"The best little podcast in the world\" -- Mojo Magazine history, public radio, memory, this american life, radio lab, npr, boingboing, new yorker Nate DiMeo Nate DiMeo natedimeo@gmail.com no no I Have Not Yet Begun to Rot http://thememorypalace.us/2010/01/episode-25-i-have-not-yet-begun-to-rot/ http://thememorypalace.us/2010/01/episode-25-i-have-not-yet-begun-to-rot/#comments Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:49:25 +0000 admin http://thememorypalace.us/?p=397 Continue reading →]]> The martial song in the front is from the Horatio Hornblower soundtrack. The part that comes up in the middle of that and then picks up again after, is “Dmi We Meet Again?” from Jon Brion’s Synechdoche, New York soundtrack (slightly enhanced). The Porter part starts with a mix of “To Rest Near You” by Rachel’s and “Something You Can’t Return To,” also on the Synechdoche soundtrack. Then “Song for Jesse” from Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’ score for The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Follow that up with a couple from the Marie Antoinette Soundtrack, “Opus 17″ by Dustin O’Halloran and “Avril 14″ by Aphex Twin, in that order.

There’s a ton about Jones’ body (incidentally, this is the story I’ve gotten the most “I knew this story, but I like how you told it” sorts of emails about). For some reason, I was particularly charmed by a webpage straight out of Portsmouth, NH (R.I.P Yoken’s). They’ve got pictures of the preserved, dead Jones there too.

Then you’ve got “Temporary Loan” by Edith Frost (from her Calling Over Time record–which is so good, by the way), “Every Day a Sunrise, a Summer,” by Telegraph Melts, and The Hold Steady covering Springsteen’s Atlantic City on a benefit album from an an international organization called WarChild that works on child soldier issues.

Accounts of Sam’s life vary pretty wildly and can be pretty tricky to sort out. One of the best accounts (it’s gotta be the most comprehensive), it seems, is Paul E. Johnson’s book, Sam Patch, the Famous Jumper.
