Music! What are you listening to now?

Re:

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.

Cool, I have wanted to check for Afonso for a while after someone compared him to Caetano Veloso. That song is sorta similar to Paco Ibanez though (not a bad thing).

I need to hear more Angolan music also, like this song from after the revolution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HjHWlmPIfI

Re:

I am the complete opposite. To me, Moon Pix is her best album, she does slow core magnificently and I disliked the move towards a more uptempo and soulful, less bleak sound that came later.

Fair enough. I just like a bit more light and colour. In the female alternative "genre' I'd prefer PJ Harvey.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Lol at going to PJ Harvey for more light... To Bring You My Love is my favourite of her albums too

ciranda - for Angolan music, hard to beat David Zé. Best known for powerful protest songs such as this, and murdered at the age of 32 by his own political party in 1977.

"What the world needs now is another folk singer like I need a hole in my head". I love Cracker. Stupid hillbillies

Silver Jews - Random Rules

The opening line of this song is one of the best I've ever heard: "In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection"

Re: Re:

Cat Power - Moonshiner

I'm not a huge Cat Power fan, although I think she's pretty decent. This version of an old tradition is superb, though.

I like some of her stuff and have a few albums. I just wish she'd do more up tempo songs.

I've got a bunch of her stuff but she is gawdawfully boring live! Most boring show I've ever seen by an artist I like and I've seen shows by other artists that were a similar tone.

Charles-Valentin Alkan - Symphony for Solo Piano
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79ZNMQ4neJM

One of the great pianist-composers of Romantacism. Unfortunately nowadays he isn't esteemed as highly as his peers like Liszt, Chopin et cetera. In his own time he was regarded as a virtuoso on par with Liszt. Recent decades have seen something of an Alkan revival within the classical world though, which is probably the only reason I've ever heard of him.

What I noticed was Lou Reed played the intro by himself in the latter version. Is that what you were referring to?

The Jaco clip is cool.
Howard played with Nick Cave early on before going solo.
He passed away in 2009. (I think)
