DID YOU?

I'm going to be well original and wish you all simply the best for this new year and i mean it.
I wanted the first 2012 post to be under the sign of fun because far too many people take themselves or things too seriously and it's well well well boring and for that reason i'm OUT.

Happy new Year everyone and remember to have fun and love as much as you can while we're here...

It was, the end of a friend and family proper sunday roast which started at 1.30pm and the playlist had finished 10 minutes ago when my son Nino (age 6) decided to make the most un-expected search on youtube which included " holiday/games/ sing" and then press play to the video he saw on the screen...............

happy days....

Sola Rosa - These Words (feat. Spikey T) (JPOD remix)



Gotye ft Kimbra - somebody that i used to know

Now...we have this thing going on with my wife:    on sundays...once our lovely lively kiddos are nice and cosy in bed, we light a fire,open a (sometimes 2) bottle of an (expertidly selected) red wine and plate up a selection of (expertidly selected) cheeses and we play our old records on our Technics in back to back. these sessions bring back some great memories and of course dug up some amazing tunes.warning:it's pretty chilled and it's the idea really.
have you ever been raving with a cheese platter? .........that's what i thought. 


1st one is an incredibly chilled and meditative hip hop gem from dj krush and friends.a band called RYU.Released in 1999.
  Ryu - song from the far east by Duendiness

following up,my favorite tune of 2010 (si si Mr Blundetto!) revisited by THE Blunde' himself in a trippier version than the original but each version is equally outstanding.featuring the unique voice of Hindi Zahra.
Blundetto is coming back with a new ep in january and i can't wait for it.in the meantime listen to this:
 Voices (blundedub) by heavenlysweetness

ELIXIR VITAE

I don't know about you, but my favorite moments to listen to music is when i am in motion.driving my bike or car skiing etc you get the picture.Here what i recently listened to:

Nick Waterhouse - I Can Only Give You

Gecko Turner - en la calle

  Gecko Turner - En la calle by Duendiness

Brownout - 130

 Brownout - 130 by Duendiness 

BADBADNOTGOOD

No this is not the name of Blundetto's new lp but it's coming soon.THE SOUND IS AMAZING and it's from crap de crap youtube so i just can imagine the full version of this teaser on technics and studio speakers! (slight bemol for the vocals but they might grow in me).

here instead is a 9 minutes piece of fusion by Badbadnotgood.......pffff ....well for those who like labeling and categories,this could be classified under JAZZ//HIPHOP/JAM...to me it's just brilliant musicians doing what they are exceptional at:playing music:
here on their version of doom
badbadnotgood - doom


Another cover/version of MGMT - Kids by bluegrass band Dr Fox's Old Timey String Band.
don't laugh...i love this (bless me i'm just getting old,give me a break!)

SUNSET 'N' GUITAR

I love YouTube for all the very good reasons....is that everyone can discover amazing talent by just browsing along; whether it's already been discovered or it's a dude playing his guitar on the street in Botswana.Extra ordinary talent.Today i focused on guitar and also (for obscure reasons) on sunset too: enjoy!

YO FOLKS!!

I'm sorry i have (a lot) less time than i used to for posting and faffing around on the blog but here a few things i have enjoyed lately:
I've almost finished this novel by James Frey and i'm really enjoying it.Los Angeles City is  the main character of the book and its "duende" is illustrated by the lives of random people living in the city.Good book !
