The Low Frequency In Stereo - Geordie La Forge
from Norway.
Although not their typical sound, they remind me here of a more complex B-52s. :)
Codona - Codona
Today's Classic Jazz Corner... is very much on the ethnic side, but all the members encompassed such a wide array of styles while remaining in the 'free' jazz world. at least to me. Hey, as i often say, and i'm smart you know: it's all Jazz, man!!!
SO... Codona was an immensely beautiful trio, whose name is derived from the first two letters of each of the member's first names.
Fly Robin Fly - Silver Convention (1975)
Sudden Urge...
the first song by a German pop group to reach number one on the American music charts.
5 Broken Cameras - Official Trailer [HD]
an amazing view into what is really a simple situation that has become
incredibly complicated. and the longer it goes on the more difficult it
is to make right. demands open minds and open hearts, both of which are
in a major shortage around these here parts!
Anouar Brahem Conte de l'incroyable amour
Today's Culture Corner... Tunisia (although, it isn't only)!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anouar_Brahem
Pat Metheny Group - Minuano
Good morning...
i hadn't listened in a while, and then last night i
had an urge for a chain of listenings to this great artist and his
different band incarnations. Then, right after i had listened to much of
him on YT last night it just so happens to have played randomly on my
ipod this morning!!!
for me, this is one of his/their greatest achievements.

Naughty Boy - La La La ft. Sam Smith
Culture Corner... Bolivia.
At last, astronomical numbers (240+ million views) that have substance...
The music video revolves around a word of mouth 19th century Bolivian legend, which concerns a deaf boy who fled from his abusive home and found a stray dog that accompanied him ever since. After living on the streets for long time he discovers that he has special talent of perceiving people's troubles, which he can heal by screaming, which is said to be as loud as an earthquake. One day, he finds an old man who is being stoned by villagers while being taunted and ridiculed. By screaming, the boy revives the old man's heart (in the video, the boy buys a new heart for the man). Together, they meet a disfigured man who was abused, considered a leper by society. The disfigured man reveals that he is a prophet who was cursed by a demon (El Tio) because he didn't worship him, and abandoned the society where the demon resided. El Tio is considered as the lord of the underworld, to whom mortal people offer gifts in order to be protected by him. The prophet said anybody who could hear the demon would fall under his spell. He told them the demon could be found in desert, where there once was a town that worshipped him until he ordered them to kill themselves. Together they all go to this place where the demon resides, and arrive at a mine where the demon is supposed to be. Because all would be cursed if they heard the demonic curses, the boy alone is to enter the demon's cave and scream in order to stop him from cursing others.
The music video deliberately alludes to the story of the Wizard of Oz in an effort to conceal the legend from those unfamiliar with it.

Erik Satie - Danses Gothiques
Today's Classical Corner... sad Satie.
This piece, especially.
Written as a kind of prayer to himself, to restore peace of mind after being left heartbroken by Suzanne Valadon, believed to be his only intimate relationship.
Whether truth or fiction, it certainly brought about immensely dense sounds, thankfully for all of us to take in and ponder.
