Tuesday Music Selection - Mixed Bag of Stuff

So, after such a downer of a day some music to lift things backup again - and WiFi everywhere tonight seems to be so slow and crap -


To Rococo Rot -Speculation Ship



Mendel - Shores



Squirrel Nut Zippers - Got My Own Thing Now



Dagmar Krause - Pavel's Prison Song



Dagmer does one of the Invisible Jukebox selection in this month's Wire magazine - hence her inclusion. The song is a Weill and Brecht number.

Dagmar Krause - Moritat (Ballade von Mackie Messer)



Kettel - Toen



Boards of Canada - Aquarius




Music: Aquarius - by Boards of Canada, from the album Music Has the Right to Children
Original Footage: CELEBRATION: I Am All of These - by Dorothy Fadiman and Robert Pacelli ©1983
Video Editing: David Dohrmann

Using a single short film as a source, I decided to create a psychedellic video using Boards of Canada as the soundscape. "Aquarius" might be the best introductory song to BoC, whom I consider one of the most important and influential musical acts of the new millennium. For this video, I wasn't as worried about beat syncopation or timing. I felt the initial footage allowed for more organic visuals. A major influence and inspiration was from the exhibit "West of Center" at the Denver Museum of Contemporary Art. Counterculture, psychedelics, and self-expression were major themes, and I was particularly influenced by the "psychedelic reel" that was playing. Enjoy the trip.

Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians (1978) "Pulses"



Philip Glass - Mad Rush




John Zorn and Naked City - Batman, The Sicilian Clan









Enjoy.

Mendel reminds me of Trans Siberian Orchestra.

Squirrel Nut Zippers is very fun. :)

Hugs, Jon
