Music recommendations
Re: Music recommendations
There's a lot of elements dragging this track/video about, good and bad, but this woman always ensures trouser adjustments are required nonetheless
Re: Music recommendations
I love covers that strip the familiarity of famous tracks, and lay bare the essence of the original you neglect through ubiquity. So there.

Wow, OMITD, now there's a blast from the past!!

OCTOGENARIAN ROCK
What's old is, well... still old. Nonetheless, this ain't a bad effort for the old dame.
Hit it, grandma.

Oldie, but goodie, I've just heard on my i-pod. (It's on random play.)

S.O.D.
This is a real toe-tapper. It's hard to imagine why these guys weren't more successful. I wonder if they ever took their act to Mexico?

With a little Slayer thrown in for good measure
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.
Re: Music recommendations
That BTW was from their reunion tour if you could call it that considering they never toured before that

I really like Of Monsters and Men, I posted the vid for Little Talks a couple of pages back. I think Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir (gotta love Icelandic naming conventions) has a much better voice than Bjork. But like all Icelandic music it's a little bit nuts.
Here's one for you 19 year old Jake Bugg, probably the most exciting UK artist to have emerged in the last 12 months.

COMFORTABLY REMADE
Very few covers leaves me as spellbound and wired. Acoustically simplistic, yet it draws me in 'almost' as easily as Pink Floyd's classic. (Best listening with studio headphones.)

I haven't stopped listening to this recording since I discovered it while using the "shuffle songs" settings on my ipod.

GOB. THE GREGORIAN CHANT
There's something hauntingly mellifluous about the kyrie and other chants that resonates within the mind and body, even without all the iconography and other religious attachments. It was no doubt the sounds akin to the Solfeggio frequencies -- key to Gregorian chanting -- that initiated mans long slog out of the primordial ooze. I often listen to this genre of music for relaxation purposes. Sort of like TM with an upbeat mantra.
OM...OM...OM...
