    Spam. Just been reliving old times with Blue Amazon and 'Rainfall'. New album from James coming out soon. This is the original and imo best mix.



    Don't know how to put up the link as active text. It's http://www(DOT)youtube.com/watch?v=klcyHATNQVg

  • I am afraid I am having a serious crush on Sandy Denny. Just don't tell my GF! haha

    What a voice...!

    Apparently she isn't known much outside the UK, which is unfortunate. I've known her music with Fairport Convention, but never knew much of her solo music.

    Silent Ganges by Maneesh De Moor... love this song. Ended up buying the whole album which is great. Not sure how to post a youtube link but I'll give it shot.

    I looooove dat song.

    You want some unsettling space ambient music? This makes me feel like an enemy ship is going to de-cloak right behind me :(

    Cinquecento performing Nymphes Nappes (Josquin Desprez, c. 1450-1521):

    Nymphs, veiled sea-dryads, dryads, come and weep at my misery,
    For I languish in such affliction that my mind is dead rather than weak.
    Laments of death have surrounded me, pains of hell have surrounded me.

    I dunno, something about this just puts me to sleep at night. I guess having technology sing to me instead of a person puts me more at ease. Funny how that works.

  • Zayl, thank u so much for posting that vid. I loved watchin it. Especially since all I can listen to at the moment is the kids' cartoons. .. :crazy:

    Imo way better than the original

    @TheEccentric Ahahaha that was pretty sweet. I'm honestly considering going to see the movie. I liked the book when I read it in highschool, so it might be worth a shot.

    This one is definitely relaxing, I like the video of a lightning storm too.

  • Rummaging through my early music collection... this is Cipriano de Rore (1516-1565): Mon petit cueur, chanson for eight voices, performed by the Huelgas Ensemble. There are some very strange harmonies in places--who knew that dissonance could sound so exquisite?

    My poor heart is not my own,
    It is yours, my sweet beloved.
    But one thing
    I ask of you,
    My own adored one,
    It is your love:
    Keep it for me.

    Got the windows open :) The loons just came back in the past week or so, our one final sign of the coming of summer. No music I'd rather hear than campfire and loons.

    Yes I love loons too, it's really a haunting sound to hear, in a good way though.

    here guys, crank up the volume for this one, make sure you have something that can handle some bass. Stand up, and just try not moving to the music, I DARE you.

    I've really been identifying with this song lately...

    I’ll be no different, just a little less interested
    In all that new world shit, ‘cause there ain’t no new world in the sticks...

  • I've got the windows open, listening to the first of Bach's Cello Suites (Queyras). But outside there are children (five, six years old?) playing. It all comes together so nicely, I can't help but smile.

  • Best recording (IMO) of Thomas Tallis heavenly piece, Spem in alium -- performed by the Huelgas Ensemble. And it is all one-voice-per-part: 40 parts, 40 voices.

    Good morning son
    I am a bird
    Wearing a brown polyester shirt
    You want a coke?
    Maybe some fries?
    The roast beef combo's only $9.95
    But it's okay
    You don't have to pay
    I've got all the change

    Everybody knows
    It hurts to grow up
    But everybody does
    It's so weird to be back here
    Let me tell you what
    The years go on and
    We're still fighting it
    We're still fighting it
    And you're so much like me
    I'm sorry

    Good morning son
    Twenty years from now
    Maybe we'll both sit down
    And have a few beers
    And I can tell
    You about today
    And how I picked you up
    And everything changed
    It was pain
    Sunny days and rain
    I knew you'd feel the same things

    Everybody knows
    It sucks to grow up
    But everybody does
    It's so weird to be back here
    Let me tell you what
    The years go on and
    We're still fighting it
    We're still fighting it
    You'll try and try
    And one day you'll fly
    Away from me

    Good morning son
    Good morning son
    Good morning son
    I am a bird

    It was pain
    Sunny days and rain
    I knew you'd feel the same things

    Everybody knows
    It hurts to grow up
    But everybody does
    It's so weird to be back here
    Let me tell you what
    The years go on and
    We're still fighting it
    We're still fighting it
    And you're so much like me
    I'm sorry

    @Jeffrey - Björk is awesome! The Medulla album is so cool, though I think Homogenic is my favourite.

    Canadian country/folk... really raw and real.

  • Listening to Bach's Cello Suites performed by Hopkinson Smith--not on lute, but the therbo, which is a sort of "bass lute" which looks like this:

    Dan Bern: "God Said No"



    [LINK]

    I met God On the edge of town
    Where the wind meets the stillness
    Where the darkness meets the light
    Where the ocean meets the sky
    Where the desert meets the rain
    Where the earth meets the heavens
    On the edge of town I met God

    I asked God
    Do one thing for me
    Send me back in time
    Send me to Seattle
    Let me go
    Find Kurt Cobain
    Take away his gun
    Take away his bullets
    Talk to him
    Make him wanna live
    Tell him how we love him
    Help him see his glory

    God Said No
    If I sent you back
    If you really found him
    You would only ask him
    If he could
    Help you get a deal
    If he knows a lawyer
    If he can help you
    God Said No

    I asked God
    Do one thing for me
    Send me back in time
    Send me to Berlin
    Let me find
    The one they call Hitler
    I will stalk him
    I will bring him down
    I will bring along
    A powerful gun
    Loaded with bullets
    Obliterate his memory

    God Said No
    If I sent you back
    You would get caught up
    In theory and discussion
    You would let your fears
    Delay and distract you
    You would make friends
    You would take a lover
    God Said No

    I asked God
    Do one thing for me
    Send me back in time
    Send me to Jerusalem
    Let me go
    Let me go find Jesus
    Let me save his life
    As they try to kill him
    Let me take him down
    Down from the cross
    Take the iron from his body
    Try to heal his wounds

    God Said No
    If I let you go
    If you really found him
    Walking with the cross
    You would stare
    Your tongue no longer working
    Eyes no longer seeing
    Ears no longer hearing
    God said Time
    Time belongs to me
    Time's my secret weapon
    My final advantage
    God turned away
    From the edge of town
    I knew I was beaten
    And that now was all I had
    God Said No

    Music Has the Right... and Geogaddi are my favorites of theirs-- classic stuff.
  • Listening to the new Sigur Ros album, Kveikur.

    VERY happy with this release!

    Invincible_summerswaydam
  • ^^^ I must say, the new Sigur Ros is up to the standards of the ( ) album and Takk...

    Sigur Ros' albums and EPs tend to revolve around three modes (though never exclusively): (1) dark and often loud-- such as Von, ( ) and the dissonant Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do, (2) more melodic pop-oriented material-- like Med Sud or (3) out and out ambient music, like their last album Valtari.

    These modes overlap to some degree, but this new album is a good balance between all three. I'm glad because I was somewhat disappointed with their last album. They've revitalized themselves without forcing it.
