°More strings and brass

June 19, 2008

I can do that - but it seems easier to point to the playlist, which is a fairly good index of what’s in the earbuds, and on repeat. Besides the mixtape posts, I mean. But just let me add this track, which requires more than one click to get to:

Nina Simone - Take care of business (Pilooski Edit)

°Fck Descartes, let’s dance

June 16, 2008

Sometimes I come across a track that says it all - or what seems like all for me in that moment, reminds me of something very particular, about music, memory, remixing, repetition and riffing, of the indistinction between mind and body, of the proprioceptic and the temporal.

°The stars should lie upon my face

February 24, 2008


Hercules and Love Affair’s “Blind”, ft Antony Hegarty (ie., from Antony and the Johnsons), riffing on Barbarella and Sword & Sandal epics; though not Roman but Greek. (The MerrySwankster has the club mix.) More.

°Move me

January 23, 2008


Gudrun Gut - previously of Malaria (see their classic “Kaltes Klares Wasser”) - morphs into post-post punk diva. And, for something sweeter, Hanne Hukkelberg doing an extraordinary rendition of The Kinks’ 1965 “All Day and All of the Night”.


Or, for something bittersweet (and a nice clip), Bat For Lashes’ “What’s a Girl to Do?”.
