@achewood I got mad about Robert Fripp's "music" again. I need to go to bed.

Anybody here familiar with Gil Mellé? I was watching Columbo (the greatest detective ever at catching a killer who is hiding in plain sight) and was really digging on the Jazzy score. I got the name from the credits.

I'm re-listening to a Brazilian band from the 90s called "Los Hermanos" (great job with your band name, assholes, as if people enough already didn't think Buenos Aires is Brazil's capital...). Some of you may know "Little Joy", a band that one of the Los Hermanos guys formed with the drummer from the Strokes. Anyway, they have some delightfully morose stuff for rainy days like

Os Pássaros (The Birds): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blBRFaia07s - some cool watery guitars in this one.

Sentimental: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEFmuQfDS2A

And some cuter, perhaps too cute (but you're safe from excessive mawkishness by the language barrier), poppier stuff like

Último Romance (Last Romance): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmaexjvNu4s&feature=fvst

O Vento (The Wind): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXRSBsG9myY

I dig the resigned melancholy, I do.

Can someone please define Dubstep? This junk is everywhere but it seems like everyone has a different idea of what is and isnt dubstep.

Abbey Road? Brother had to even source a cassette player for this experience. Nothing like psychedelic background rhythms for closing out the book for the day.

Someone showed me this song a while back and I really like it for some reason. Not really a huge Sinatra fan otherwise.

Holy crap.

And more holy crap.

And as always, the ultimate song of this type as far as I am concerned. Something about it makes me a little misty eyed every time. Which... you might imagine is a fairly typical reaction for an InEv. It is not. Not for songs.

HOLY FUCK. I think Arthur Russell is the coolest ever. This last one is the coolest song and I have been listening to it on repeat for a while now. Although obviously very different from the first 3.

I thought it was some kind of Onion-esque rumor, but it looks like Snoop Dogg really did change his name to Snoop Lion and is doing reggae now.

the internet told me that he went to jamaica and had a spiritual epiphany after talking to a rastafarian priest(?).  who knows if thats the actual deal, or its just a publicity thing.

A friend made me listen to tame impala the other day, I told him it sounded like Tortoise mixed with The Beatles.  What I meant was it sounded like Tortoise mixed with the Beatles with a generous portion of boringness added.  Will check that track when I get on a computer, I know they have a new album coming our, maybe I'll like it more.

A friend of mine posted a vid by Greek Singer Demis Roussos. I really enjoyed it quite a lot, the guy has a great voice. Curios I Googled him and apparently, back in the late 60s and early 70s he played in a band with Vangelis, who I've always placed on the same shelf as Yanni, perhaps unfairly.

But Wikipedia says Aphrodite's Child were a rock band so I gave them a listen. This one is pretty bad ass.
