Interlude
Short but sweet. I always thought that this song and its successor on the album were one tune. Perhaps I should just put both of them in this post.
The Outernationalist
Thus I skipped on to track 3 and found some dub. It just can’t be beat.
Facing East
Not really too fond of the second song from the Thievery Corporation’s Richest Man in Babylon album, but since it’s the second on the disc, it’ll have to do for now. This cut is somewhat reminiscent of their big hit, Lebanese Blonde, from the previous album. Mid-eastern inflections. Sitar. Wailing woman. It’s in there.
I usually skip this track and go on to the next one. I won’t blame you if you don’t play it. It’ll break your streak, if you do, but its your bandwidth.
Heaven’s Gonna Burn Your Eyes
I just love this album. I remembering picking this up at Borders, quickly unpacking it out of its plastic wrap, and sliding it into the CD player of the Jetta for the drive home. I remember taking York Road south to the 695 on ramp as the opening of this song was playing and then it kicks in…
Dude!
Yeah. One of my favorite albums. I’m thinking about playing it at my funeral its that good.
This track was once one of the most played on my iTunes before I started ripping CDs and purchasing songs from the store. One things that always bothered me though is the circle has been turned into an oval with the album art downloaded from the iTunes music store. O, well, at least the remix album its a perfect circle.
Dia De Los Muertos En Musica
Listen to the WTMD this morning for some good music. They are celebrating the day of the dead with music from dead musicians. There’s all kinds of good music on and lots of fun too. That band in heaven is probably the greatest band ever.
Music Interlude
Erik Satie’s Gnossienne 1. I thought it highly nice to hear on All Hallow’s Eve. Sounds as if someone’s trailing you as you walk the neighborhood in search of candy.
Je Te Veux
Cute asian playing Erik Satie’s “Je te veux?” That’s what I want to hear in the morning. Waltzes get no love nowadays, but you can’t deny that the 3/4 time signature is pretty. 1-2-3, 1-2-3, up-down-down, loud-quiet-quiet. It’s a fine for a musical interlude in the day. May this waltz smooth out the rest of your day.
“She’s like a slutty version of the singing frog in that cartoon.”
Treating myself to some Thievery Corporation!
Faster Than My Bullet
Goodbye, August! Hello, September or as we call it around here News Radio Quote Month. I can’t believe I’m still doing it after all these years. I’m wondering if I have exhausted all the great quotes from the show leaving me with the “Matthew this” or “Lisa that” quotes. Plus, I can’t believe I am still into that show. You would think I would forget it like I’ve done with Northern Exposure or The X-Files, but it hangs around here like a Month of Quotes.
I see that CapitolSwell is taking up the challenge. Bring it!
Better Run Better Run
End of summer? What better way to end it with the song of summer? You don’t think this was it? Perhaps you can clue me in to the one that you thought was summertime 2011. Use the comments.
