Lykke Li - Get Some by happypocket

Bonobo with Bajka

They walk in the sky So near and so high They're stopping for none And when the day's done They agree that the sea Is the best place to be Wondrously free They live happily They know from the past Life simply doesn't last So they live for today For tomorrow they may Not be able to walk in the skies Sun slips into horizon Moon reaches for the stars Music is the healer No matter who you are No matter who you are... They walk in the sky So near and so high They're stopping for none And when the day's done They agree that the sea Is the best place to be Wondrously free They live happily




Well we can't change the world / We sure can change the way we live
We can't only take / Also got to learn to give
People corrupt / 'Cause they don't understand / There's book of truths / And a book of lies / Think with your heart / Read between the lines

Arthur Russell

Arthur Russell, American cellist, composer, singer and disco artist from New York wasn't prominent during his lifetime (1951 - 1992), but a series of reissues and compilations raised his profile in the 2000s. He was born in Oskaloosa, Iowa and studied the cello and began writing his own music. When he was 18, he moved to San Francisco and studied Indian Music and played with Alan Ginsberg. In '73 he moved to New York. He formed a band there called The Flying Hearts, then in 1979 began writing disco music under the name Dinosaur and Loose Joints. He died from AIDS at the age 40.
Russell was prolific, but was also notorious for leaving songs unfinished and continually revising his music. Ernie Brooks said that Russell "never arrived at a completed version of anything," while Peter Gordon stated, "his quest wasn't really to do a finished product but more to do with exploring his different ways of working musically". He left behind more than 1,000 tapes when he died, 40 of them different mixes of one song. (Wikipedia).
Arthur: "I said to him the thing that excited me about the piece was that you could pick up the needle anywhere and put it down and it always sounded the same. Not exactly the same, but you could plug into it for as long as you liked, then plug out and then plug back in again without losing anything essential unlike narrative music where your attention is required from beginning to end. He turned to me and said , 'That's the most unattractive thing I've ever heard.'" ["Echo Beach"; Melody Maker; April 11, 1987]

City and Colour

I was just introduced to this Canadian band called City and Colour. I'm liking what I hear so far! Dallas Green (get city and colour) stays in a small range in most of his songs, but his voice is incredible.

Thanks to best cousin, I'm listening to some sweet tracks by DJ Okawari from Japan. This should encourage you to comment and or contribute the discoveries you've been making. Music's not as good as it can be until you share it. Keep inspiring posts.

Antipop Consortium

I'm getting my eyes and ears opened to a world of undiscovered hip hop thanks to my friend who I'm hoping to drop some hip hop/acoustic tracks with. It's going to be iiiilllll.

Girls

I saw Girls the other night at the Fillmore. Really small turn out, so therefore really chill and intimate. They're an indie "beach boy" punk local San Francisco group. I'm in love with them. They played a lot of new stuff from their upcoming album set to release in a month. The songs sounded more mellower and soulful.

Warpaint - Undertow

This song is a peaceful, nostalgic dream to me. Sparks so many different thoughts, warm thoughts. It resonates with real emotions, making me re-experence innocent darkness.




B.T.W. For those of you who knew my plans for my lower back, I did it! First out of 2 maybe 3 sessions. It's amazing! It was incredibly painful but it is better than i could imagine. Can't wait for the finished product. It looks like a spirit wave. It's done by Henry Lewis who is ammaaazing. I'll show pics soon.
