Hola, time for another completely random mix up of
tunes piling up steadily in the old Hearing Aid in-box and first up the winner
of oddest video of 2013 (I know it’s only February but you’d have to ingest
some serious chemicals to come up with something weirder than this) from Susanne Sundfør. She’s big in Norway dontcha
know, I can see why too. Vocally she’s a mix of Kate Bush, Tori Amos and, more
recently Lana Del Ray. Musically it’s a beautiful mix of harp, giving way to lush
orchestration and sparse electronica. The video might just freak the bejesus
out of you though...
Here’s a heart warming tale, well sort of. It is
eventually. Charles Bradley spent most of the first 62 years of his life
struggling to survive, with a spell on the streets sustained only be New York’s
soup kitchens marking his lowest point. A couple of years back he was heard performing
a James Brown song in a bar and whisked off to the 21st Century home
of soul n’funk, Daptone Records. This new cut is taken from his second long
player Victim Of Love. Great stuff. The Godfather would be proud.
While we’re in a Daptone mood here’s a Gospel banger
from The Como Mamas. Holy shit that’s some amazing...er...holy shit...
Like great American indie pop? Step right up for TheTorn ACL’s new one then. A little bit of Weezer, a touch of The Decemberists
and a dash of punk spunk...love it.
Right, I’m posting this partially because it’s yet
another beautiful tune from The Irrepressibles and partially because You Tube
have seen fit to make this video “age restricted” because it features two men
kissing. Er...this is 2013 right? Good grief.
