What Are You Listening to Now 7.0

[Alitaptap]

Ahhh, Four Tet. And the visuals of this song are gorge as well. Love how the ordinary becomes abstraction, like a film’s negatives developing in front of your eyes:

Four Tet - She Moves She

This is a gem:

Clare Torry, who vocalized on Pink Floyd's The Great Gig In The Sky:

(mostly an interview rather than the music)

She is very kind in relating her experiences, if you know any backstory. Thankfully, she finally got songwriting credit. And royalties.

She went on and did other things (I made a playlist!), but really, what could one ever hope to do that might exceed what she did then?

Go back and listen to the original, as I'm doing now:

There's no equal no matter how many other vocalists it might take (and it has taken a lot). But here she is, killing it again in 1990:

Not the equal of the original, IMO, but even Clare's recollection supports that. It might've started as Rick Wright's song, but she made it theirs.

Also the shorter perfect loop.

Your princess might be in another castle, but I'm right here.

The Flower Duet from Delibes's opera Lachme. It's unbelievably beautiful, and famous enough that many non-opera buffs would probably recognize it. It also makes me think of the "Sicilian" scene from the movie True Romance, which was written by Quentin Tarantino.

Kaori Muraji and Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence

The cat, telling me that she loves me and that I should stay in bed so she can continue to sit on me and purr.

Les Chants Magnétiques - Jean-Michel Jarre

Through headphones. Probably means I'm going to disappear down another JMJ rabbit hole.

It's better than the alternative, though: the first lawn mowers of spring.

It's better than the alternative, though: the first lawn mowers of spring.

Yeah, that was good. My next rung down into the rabbit hole was JMJ's Houston concert in 1986, which at the time was the largest outdoor concert in history: 1.3M live spectators:

Another member provided details that I hadn't previously known.

Magic; from the master himself:-

 

[Blind_Justice]

Overkill - Scorched

These guys have yet to release a bad album and they're doing this since 1980! I'm more a fan of their more melodic early years (up to "Years of Decay") but I do appreciate the occasional blunt force trauma to the face.

FUCK YEAH!

"Flowers" - Miley Cyrus cover

A lot of Hawaiian music that I've never heard before, much of it sung in the Hawaiian language, which I don't understand. Aloha!
