AMY AMY AMY

I will try to spare you the requiem in D minor from Wolfgang but I'm sad that Amy Winehouse didn't make it.
Always a part of me believed that she'd be strong enough to find her way out of the wood.I lost friends this way and all i can say about it.. is.......when you are there...you're on your own..regardless of who you are or how many people love you or want to save you.This is your own fight...
I've seen her live and  yes... she was all over the place,making random jokes....some of them funny some of them well i just didn't get them, ordering trillions of cocktails from the bar between songs  that someone would take all the way through the crowd and she'd drank them like actimels. She was very needy, insecure, manically playing with her skirt.....it was sometimes painful to watch.........  but the moment she started singing it was just pure magic.
R.I.P Amy....Thanks for all the beautiful notes....

WALKING ON THE BEACHES, LOOKING AT THE PEACHES

Bonjour,

I haven't really started my summer break just yet that's why i haven't been blogging that much lately.Been busy at work.(or pretending i was)

Also everyone is enjoying the summer (or not so much of it) outside as opposed to behind a computer screen and as a result fresh music is on a stand-by mode or i couldn't find it efficiently enough.

However...here's what i found interesting:YOU KNOW THE DEAL BY NOW, RANDOMNESS IN.....

THE GOODNESS!!!

Really like this video....

HAVE A GOOD SUNDAY EVERYONE!

GOODNESS IN THE RANDOMNESS

good evening everyone!

as far as i'm concerned there are only 6 of you out there following this blog and I AM of them so 5 really, but never mind i know that the tunes tunes will be appreciated and that all it matters..so here we go...i'm not going for the hype here...
someone told me once in Tanzania as i was trying to bargain a dusty and broken artisan  
African mask "old is gold my friend...old is gold"...i knew the mask vendor was trying to fool me but the formula worked anyway.

Arlean Brown - I'm a streaker baby
this tune is to me, absolutely perfect.love the rawness,the harmonica,the bass line? don't even get me started...no one is writing tunes like that any more.i'm not blaming anyone i know it's hard to beat this.



Baltimore _K_s friendly edit_.mp3
beautiful song that cried for a dub input...that's something done



Marion Black - who knows
What can i say? this song never fails to get me snapping and grooving..even my kids get down on it...and that's something i almost can't explain but the bass line has got to be involved in the effect produced.



James Kind - California lady
another close to my heart song.just perfect vocals and guitars sound....good James....what happened to you by the way? couldn't find any other song of yours any where? well done numero group for your amazing spade action here.



Sekoilu Seestyy _finland_.mp3
Obviously you would as music "connaisseurs" recognize the sample from the Endtroducing album of DJ Shadow.not many albums had such an impact on me as this one did.perhaps Portishead,dummy and kruder and dorfmeister kd sessions or Tricky "Maxinquaye" at the period...on the more commercial side..The fugees were also equally refreshing.

Et pour monsieur ce sera? A Cucumber Collins S'il vous plait..

Human Bodies,Urban Spaces

There was this event this Sunday in Bristol  and my kids thought it was the best and most hilarious thing e.v.e.r.
Basically the idea is that you must wear extremely colorful warming up suits and then go in the city streets and lodge yourself and sometimes with your vivid buddies  into the most random urban spaces.TANGLED.big fan!
Serge Gainsbourg - Aux armes etc

Soundtrack: Serge Gainsbourg - Aux Armes Et Caetera (from the eponymous reggae album recorded with Wailers) Nothing to do with below but best version ever made of the french national anthem.

R.A.G.T.I.M.E

This music feels right for today.It's sunny in Bristol,it's the weekend and i'm slightly hangover but still can function normally.Happy days!

THE TRAVELLER

Once upon a time there was this band from Leeds who released that amazing tune blending afro vibes and funk but not in classic/usual/boring way...no... they made it in such a subtle way that the listener is actually travelling musically and visually across the continents (gosh that was deep!)

Enjoy the haggis Horns:



ps: to ruin completely the effect created above, the leader/saxophonist of the band (also for the anecdote married to Corrine Bailey-Rae) died accidentally because he'd mistaken some drugs for another...easy mistake to make you might say..but what a shame for the music galaxy..

MARK RONSON has paid tribute to CORINNE BAILEY RAE's late husband JASON RAE.

On his MySpace blog he calls sax player Jason, below: "An incredible dude."

Mark said: "Last Saturday, Jase Rae of THE HAGGIS HORNS passed away.

"It's such a sad, sad thing, I'm sorry that I can't really put anything into words.

"However, I will say that he was an incredible dude, a lovely gentle man, one of the funniest people ever, an obsessed early Nineties hip-hop super-enthusiast (he loved music more passionately and genuinely than anyone), and one of the most amazing sax players I've ever had the pleasure of playing with.

"If you've ever been to one of our gigs, you've witnessed it. He was an incredible dude, he always will be."

Jason was found dead from a suspected drugs overdose in Leeds.

R.I.P

ALL THIS HAPPENED YEARS AGO BUT I'M A TERRIBLE JOURNALIST.

HERE COMES THE RUBBER MAN (NICE JERSEY TOO)

AREN'T WE ALL LIKE A BIT OF BREAK DANCING ACTION?
PERSONALLY, IT REMINDS ME WHEN I WAS 12 OR 13 AND ALL MY MATES AND I WERE DESPERATELY TRYING TO BE COOL AND (SOMEHOW) BELONG TO THE CURRENT TRENDS.I LOVED BREAK DANCING (STILL DO) AND SKATEBOARDING (LESS SO).
YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE (27,120,544 PEOPLE HAVE HAVE ANYWAY) BUT IT'S BRAND NEW TO ME.
