Jacco Gardner - The One Eyed King

Interesting, creative, artistic, inspiring... amazing it sounds so authentic to the Sixties, from writing to production. 

Soap&Skin - Voyage Voyage HD

incredibly good adaptation, by a really good artist, of a great song stuck in the annals of 80's late New Wave production!

Schubert's Serenade (violin by Joshua Bell)


Schubert. my favorite Classical composer.
and this version is very nicely arranged.
i could easily listen to his music ALL DAY. but, there's work to do! 
let it play in the background (especially when Joshua Bell plays).

Me Mantengo - Los Van Van


another indispensable melodic groove from the great and vintage Van Van!

Starfucker - Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second


From Portland, Oregon. 
Goooooooooooood stuff. their music sometimes remind me of Ween.

Rosy Armen - Bulbul


Bulbul, 
by the famous multilingual Diaspora called Rosy Armen.

علاء وردي - ونتي ماستنيتي


Alaa Wardi. Iranian, based in Saudi Arabia.
His music is really well-produced, and seriously beautiful!

The Quiet Room - Alice Cooper

awesome song, from a crazy album, with a host of musical superstars. that quiet room is indeed eerie.

Omar Khorshid - Laylet Hob.wmv

one more from this Egyptian mega-star. He could have made even bigger musical and cultural history, but sadly, he left us early. Still, he managed to leave a lot of amazing music behind, like this incredible creation.

Hellebore - Artefact

extraordinarily good, from a one-album French wonder of a band!!!

Robin Thicke - Exhale (Shoop Shoop)

He's got a few, but here's another worthy one i like.

Clifford Brown & Max Roach - Joy Spring

this thing implores you to move your shoulders and pose a BIG smile!

You gotta love what's happening here! that's right, baby, the Eels are back.

Great band. the harmonies in their songs remind me of CSNY. 
Good day to you, all!

Jeff Beal and Nawang Khechog - Peace Prayer


good and beautiful morning...
one of my favorite Flugelhornists is Jeff Beal (who now does a lot of soundtracks). here there isn't so much Flglhrn, but it's stunning and perfect for mornings - especially those on the weekend).
Anyway, this tune features Nawang, who i had the pleasure of being around and playing music with for several months. quite a thrilling memory.
these two are certainly special  humans and musicians.
Wish you all a blissful day! 

Dave Grohl South By Southwest (SXSW) 2013 Keynote Speech in Full


Awesome.
"i didn't hear solos, i heard voices", says Dave G.
Very true. I always heard music - or musicians playing - as people conversing, saying actual words and phrasing sentences. they can't all speak at once (not all the time), they have to listen to each other, to allow each other the space to express/convey their feeling thoughts. it all starts with self-respect, having found one's voice, and believing in its value, as something worthy of that respect and admiration; that it must be listened to, and perhaps even learned from. nevertheless, know you don't know all, and have much to learn from others, to listen to them, and to respect those that 'speak' to you. it all takes time, and much LUCK, but the good ones do eventually get heard - along with the less worthy ones, cause hey you gotta please the 'common' folk. :)
i think however that Dave is sometimes a little extreme, which is part of his charm of course! For example, he's at times too cynical about the help you can get from the 'establishment', because i believe you can still 'own' your music, and not lose your artistic creation, while definitely benefiting from the assistance and guidance of experienced professionals. They're not all Benihana lunch-buying leeches! You can attend to music and coffee, while they can attend to other things. this, too, takes a lot of time to learn. one thing i have found to be true (and it took me also a while to learn): you have to trust in others, even strangers, who can help you along the way, and what seems like a 'sell-out' can turn out to be a blessing you would otherwise not have lived to see because you didn't give it a chance, because you didn't really trust, because you wanted to do it on your own, because you didn't want to lose control. to live life fully you have to take risks, and sometimes it does hurt. never lose sight of what you believe, especially when others are telling you otherwise, but don't assume you can do everything on your own, all the time.
A lot of wisdom in what he says, and i respect him immensely for his musicianship, accomplishments and sincerity, but you can be 'driven' and have success as well with an embracing soft and open mind.

BRILLIANT!

thank you very very much Amanda! "it's about a few people loving you up close, and about those people being enough." i love you, TED!!!
