Cocophone - Glory Shoes

Holbrook is off to see "Love in Dublin" tonight.  "Love in Dublin" is two plays by Paul Kennedy showing at the newly re-opened Focus Theatre.  I recently found out that there will be music by Cocophone.  I downloaded their "Special Offers" EP from their Bandcamp site.  Please support the band and download their music.  In the meantime, you can watch an unofficial video by GroundskeeperXI for their song "Glory Shoes"

Van Morrison & Bob Dylan - Crazy Love

I remember watching this on television many moons ago. To see two great songwriters together singing in front of the Parthenon. It's more of a Van Morrison vehicle than a Bob Dylan one. And they are singing a Van tune. Bob is just a songsmith enjoying the craft of another. I think it sounds great.

Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Hobnox


Neil Young has a great new album out. So does Bob Dylan. Then there is Hobnox. That's a whole other kettle of fish... I highly recommend checking out the Tone Matrix option and then just click the squares, press play and have fun!

'Dragonfly' by Marlonski QUBIQ Edit




Check out more Marlonski here. What do you make of this video and song? Good, bad? definitely not your type of music, or exactly your type of music? As for QUBIQ. I presume he mixed Marlonski's tune? I think he may be from Phoenix, Arizona. And from the video I guess Marlonski hangs out in Berlin. This whole connection came from the nice people over at CryAndBeFree. As for who the guy is in the video... is it Marlonski, or is it Qubiq? Well, the video is set in Berlin so you would be right to guess it is indeed Marlonski. You can see a photo of him here, with the famous film actress Tilda Swinton... I'm impressed!

Lyric Fantasy, Op. 54 - Larsson


Lars-Erik Larsson was born in Sweden in 1908. Classical music can be so relaxing. For me, Lyric Fantasy, Op. 54 creates romantic inner mindscapes full of subtle emotion. And towards the end of the piece it reminds me of Bolero (Ravel). Do you think so? I'll see if I can post a stream of the audio at some stage. Thanks to Lyric FM's great programming for the introduction. If you know who painted the cover art pictured here (taken from the cover of Swedish Orchestral Favourites, Vol. 2) it would be great if you could let me know.

Said Taghmaoui in "Linear"

The latest U2 album, No Line on the Horizon (Deluxe Edition on iTunes), includes a movie by Anton Corbijn set to most of the songs on the album and one additional track. Said Taghmaoui plays the lead character, a traffic cop in Paris who burns his police motorbike and then hits the road on a regular motorbike. The camera follows him travelling through France and Spain as he heads south to Cadiz. The movie is called Linear and the photo above is a still from it.

More Santigold

Santogold has changed her name to Santigold. Santigold, sounds better? Less Spanish more Italian, more christmassy? This song and video are so 80s! There was a great live rendition of 'Shove it' live on YouTube but it was pulled. But you can still watch the cuddlefest 'Say Aha'.

Converse celebrates its 100th birthday

Julian Casablancas (lead singer of The Strokes), NERD and Santogold collaborated on My Drive Thru'. There are 10,000 paper cut outs of the artists in the video. It took four months to make.

..C major scale..

The C major scale is also known as the Ionian scale. It goes C, D, E, F, G, A, B. That's seven major notes. Then there are five flat and sharp notes. That's twelve notes altogether. Sharps and flats are either a half note above or a half note below a major note. E and F, and, B and C, are only half a note apart.
