Day 13: A song from an Asian artist
time to irk the purists once more...

Cliff Richard is from India.... Cornershop are not. One of these artists, however, often sings in Punjabi (including doing a Beatles cover in that language) and has won several awards to contributions to Asian music. So, where does the music come from, your country of birth, or your heritage, ingrained from family? Anyway... this artist was also a staple of Asian radio in the UK before they had "mainstream" success..

so, ladies and gentlemen, i give you
CLIFF RICH

Cornershop - 6am Jullander Shere

(once had the pleasure of playing this between live band sets at a music venue... LOUD)

Well, everyone needs a bosom for a pillow, so it was so relatable.

Day 13: A song from an Asian artist
I came to find Japan's Unlucky Morpheus through a side project, QUADRATUM From Unlucky Morpheus, which did an album of covers aptly called Loud Playing Workshop. I am a fan of neoclassical guitar work, and they covered fantastic but little known artists like Toney McAlpine, Racer X, and Yngwie Malmsteen, as well as the better known like Van Halen, Dream Theater, and Steve Vai. I could have chosen any of those songs, but I wanted something original.

This is the live version of "Angreifer," from their second full length album, Vampir. I chose the live version as it spotlights the interplay between their lead guitarist, Jinya, and their violinist, Jill. (And I adore that she uses the mononym "Jill").

I don't know a lot of Asian music, but know Asian Dub Foundation (ADF) from seeing them on Jools Holland.
A real mixture of dub, reggae and whatever else they feel like, often played with traditional Indian instruments.
This is a cool number, with Sinead O'connor providing the vocals

If you haven't already, I strongly recommend subscribing to KEXP on youtube. They promote unknown artists just starting out, as well as gigantic house-hold names, giving them an avenue to perform live. I've found so many bands through them, and here's a gem of a song I stumbled upon ages ago!

Hailing out of Greenland
Nive Nielsen and the Deer Children - Room

I thought a while on this one a picked someone you might not have heard. City Girl is from California. They usually make calm lofi music with a little bit of a city pop vibe, but occasionally they work with a vocalist or two to make a wonderful song like this.
Wii Date- City Girl

Mwaaahh I love City Girl!! Their music is like reading in a window and listening to the rainy concrete jungle outside.
The smell of wet cement. An urban paradise.

Day 14: A song from a North American Artist

Canadian First Nation rappers Snotty Nose Rez Kids are a pair of cousins from the Haisla Nation in BC, and I have posted their work before. This is "Skoden," which is short for "let's go then," and was written in response to the Canadian government approving the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, a pipeline that runs from Edmonton to Burnaby, east of Vancouver, BC. It ends with a recorded statement by Beau Dick, an artist and activist from the Kwakwaka’wakw tribe. In 2013, after walking from Alert Bay to Victoria, BC -- some 500 km -- Dick performed a native copper cutting ceremony, breaking a copper shield on the steps of the BC Legislature. Copper is sacred to the First Nations, a symbol of justice and balance, and purposely breaking a shield is a shaming act, an insult to say the other party is out of balance, and doesn't hold to the truth. It was a plea for Canada to repair the fractured relationships and treaties with the First Nations. It demands a response, at least from an honorable party.

Nothing changed.
