Great violinist Lindsey Stirling to electronic/orchestral backgrounds. This stuff makes great background music for highlight video, or just plain listening to:

Nice music everyone. Am listening:

Illapu - Multitudes Some very nice Chilean folk and andean sounds.

Amancio Prada - Hasta Otro Día Chicho Sánchez Ferlosio Not much to say besides this being a masterpiece by one of the best cantautores of all time. Chilling and warming. As the title suggests, this is an album in homage of Chicho Sánchez Ferlosio, also one of the greatest Spanish songwriters. I thank my history teacher for this one.

José Afonso - Baladas e Canções Arguably the best Portuguese songwriter ever (a poet afterall). Sad that he's so strongly associated with the revolutionary movement (and rightfully so) that the rest of his work gets somewhat ignored.

Deep Purple - Lazy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnIgXtE4K5U

I'm thinking Froome on the organ (elbows all over the place)

Sagan on the drums (dude looks a bit large)

Contador on the guitar (looking very tight, but still all musical like)


Any ideas for the harmonica/ lead vocal dude? (Prudhomme?)

When it comes to music, I'm the type of person who's always searching for something new. Usually when I discovered some new artist I listen to it way too much and, you know, desperately search the internet for related artists and other music with a similar style. I listen to that stuff day and night for weeks until I get completely tired from it and move on to something new again and the same thing repeats itself over and over and it has been doing that for years now. But sometimes after I've moved on I might remember some artist or style that I used to listen to again. So I give it another listen and it will usually still be nice and interesting and all but it doesn't quite have the same appeal anymore as it did before. Some of the enthusiasm from when I listened to it before was just some hype involved in finding something new and exciting and when it's not new it's not quite as exciting anymore. However, sometimes it's different; every now and then I remember some artist or style that I used to listen to and you turn it on again and it blows me away again just like before. Then for me I know I've found something amazing that's there to stay in my music library.

'Bout two years ago someone told me about some Israeli jazz band called "Third World Love" and somewhere throughout last year I really got into that band a lot and I started looking for related artists and other music with a similar style. Some of the band members had their own projects (especially Avishai Cohen - the trumpeter, not the more well player bass player with the same name - and Omer Avital) and I found out there was apparently something of an Israeli jazz scene and I really liked it. I haven't really been listening to it for a couple of months now, but I gave it a good listen again just now and it's still as amazing as it ever was. So for me I just confirmed for myself that this Israeli jazz music wasn't just a hype or some period for me but it's really just amazing music. It's not overly complex and technical like some of the other jazz I like to listen to, the melodies, the rythms, the harmonies, they're all (relatively) simple, but they're amazing, beautiful and sweet, exquisite so to speak.

If anybody bothered to read this post and cares about it, here's some examples of what I've been listening to last year and now again this evening which evoked this reaction from me

Third World Love - Three Four (Not a Jazz Tune)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlTtt3P08YM

Third World Love - Joy of Life
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umWnlQFg9Ww

Tal Gamlieli (ft. Avishai Cohen) - Dania
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl4miufiBYo

Omer Avital - Hafla
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNJDIUQiIfA

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Avital is the most interesting for me.

Also, the Israelis have a long history in classical music and once the instrumentation skills are in place, some can exploit Jazz.

As always, only the absolute best are worth buying, but Jazz can strongly benefit from the live scene imo. Small cafe, cocktails etc.

Lastly I thought you didn't music with "like" soft drums.

So, which one is cooler (or more hip), in your opinion?

The Wimple Winch - Save My Soul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi9GXxVDJQg

(I'm neither an Aussie or a Brit, btw., but I do think the way one absorbs/interprets music can be incredibly subjective. And you know what - I think that is ok. As long as bands are not totally stealing each other's original ***, that is.)

I have both versions in iTunes - they both suit their era ('60's and '80's). I'm sure the original songwriters were acknowledged by the Spiders. I like different versions of the one song generally.
The other use of the riff I was actually referring to was the one below, by Aussie Hip-Hop outfit The Hilltop Hoods.

It turns out the Cosby reference is now a bit unfortunate and there is another meaning for Cosby Sweater it seems.

That's cool. I don't usually like Hip-Hop but the Hoods have some real catchy tunes, as do a similar Aussie outfit called the Herd.
