“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”
Oldie, but goodie, I've just heard on my i-pod. (It's on random play.)
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”

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.
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.)
Dar Williams and Ani DiFranco:

Oooh, that looks interesting, will check when I get home from work.

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

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...
